“Hey there, it’s so nice to meet you! I’m still getting to know my new friends here at DAS, and they told me that it will help me find my new family if I tell you some things about myself. I didn’t know where to start, so how about I answer some “THIS OR THAT” questions:
What can I say, I guess I’m easy to please! I bet I’d be a great fit for just about anyone.”

Meet Cota, a charming 2-year-old pup with a gentle spirit! This happy boy has a laid-back personality that our volunteers have observed during his time at the shelter. From what we've seen, Cota tends to be social with people and usually displays good manners. While he may be a bit anxious in new situations, he often warms up given some time and patience. In playgroup, Cota typically exhibits a dainty and gentle play style, enjoying light social interactions with other dogs once he feels comfortable.
PLAYGROUP PG1 - SOCIAL DG - DAINTY & GENTLE On 10/14/24 Brought to the yard in a cart as he wasn't confident on the leash at this time. Anxious in the beginning, needing some time to warm up to the others before feeling comfortable. He would pace the yard and attempt to jump the fence. He settled down after awhile and would start to interact with the other dogs in the yard, socializing with them briefly.

Sampson and his sister Coco A1229833 were abandoned by their owner at someone's property, so they called us for help. That unfortunately means we don't know much about them. Let's get these sweet seniors who were let down outta here!
Playgroup Assessment 10/15: PG 1 Social, Dainty/Gentle Gentle and calm, lower in energy and did well in a group of gentle dogs. Would do some socializing with the others as she became more comfortable with them. Could get overwhelmed with dogs that were more playful and would give corrections.

I’m looking for a foster for Sweetie, a sweet 6-year-old girl who was pulled minutes before euthanasia. Even one night of fostering could change her life!
Sweetie is: ✅ Vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed 🐾 54 lbs with a gentle, shy personality
Here’s what we know:
• Shelter Observation (9/24): Timid at first, but with slow, calm approaches, she warms up. No signs of aggression.
• Playgroup Assessment (9/22): Gentle and social but still building her confidence. She watched the other dogs and allowed greetings without issue. A little guidance on a leash will help her shine!
I can arrange transport to your home, so if you’re able to foster, even for one night, or are interested in adopting her, please reach out! Let’s give Sweetie the chance she deserves.
