DRACO

MALE – MIXED BREED – BORN AROUND 2023 – AT SHELTER SINCE NOV 2025

Draco is an energetic and joyful boy who loves spending time with people and chasing his ball. He bounces around with playful enthusiasm and brings plenty of sunshine wherever he goes. Draco is still learning his leash manners and sometimes pulls a bit, but he is eager to learn with gentle guidance and consistency.

His unique facial markings make him truly one-of-a-kind. Draco would thrive in a home with a nice backyard where he can run, play, and burn off his happy energy.

For more information, visit or call Dogs and Cats Forever.

MELLOW

MALE – AMERICAN BULLDOG – BORN JUL 2018 – AT SHELTER SINCE NOV 2025

Mellow is a male American Bulldog born in July 2018 who has been at Dogs and Cats Forever since November 2025.

True to his name, Mellow is an easygoing fellow who loves hanging out with people. He enjoys playtime and being close to his favorite humans. He would be happiest as the king of the castle in a home where he is the only pet, as other dogs—especially smaller ones—aren’t a good match for him. A nice big backyard would give him room to play and explore.

Mellow enjoys his walks and does well on the leash, although an interesting scent can sometimes have him pulling a little harder to investigate!

Mellow has been waiting a long time for a family of his own. He hopes someone will take the time to get to know him and see the sweet, loving boy he is. With his easygoing personality and so much companionship to offer, he’s ready to make someone’s days a little brighter. Come meet Mellow and give him the chance he’s been waiting for.

Did you just call my name? Great, I’m ready to go – got my toys and everything!

CANDY

FEMALE – CUR HOUND MIX – BORN EARLY 2025 – AT SHELTER SINCE AUG 2025

Candy is a beautiful female Cur Hound mix who was born in early 2025 and has been at Dogs and Cats Forever since August 2025. With her playful spirit and loving personality, you might wonder why this sweet girl is still waiting for a home.

The hardest part for Candy is making that first impression. When unfamiliar people approach her kennel door, she becomes frightened and may show her teeth and growl. It can be difficult to see past that reaction, but a few minutes to get comfortable can reveal a very different side of her. Once she feels safe, Candy shows just how sweet her name promises she can be.

Candy loves other dogs and could be a wonderful companion for a family looking to add a second pup. She walks nicely on a leash, enjoys playing ball, and loves cuddling after playtime. She has so much potential and needs someone willing to help her build confidence through patience, understanding, and continued training.

Those first few moments at a kennel door don’t tell Candy’s whole story. If you like the happy girl you see in this video, please make an appointment to meet her in a setting where she has time to feel comfortable. Give Candy the chance to show you who she is when she feels safe and loved.

Though timid at first, Cricket blossoms with patience and kindness. She finds comfort in routine, quiet surroundings, and gentle companionship. Having Captain around has helped her feel brave, but she’s also ready to open her heart to a family of her own.

If you’re someone who understands shy dogs and has the time to earn her trust, Cricket will reward you with the sweetest kind of love. And if you’re open to adopting both her and Captain, you’d be giving a bonded pair the dream they’ve been waiting for.

He’s calm, affectionate, and enjoys quiet moments with people he trusts. Captain walks well on a leash, appreciates a good nap in the sun, and would love a home with a soft bed and gentle hands. While he’d be overjoyed to be adopted with Cricket, he’s also ready to thrive on his own with the right family.

Kaycee would do best with slow, gentle introductions to other dogs so she can feel safe and comfortable. With a little patience and a lot of love, she will blossom into the most loyal companion you could ask for.

HAZEL

FEMALE – MIX BREED – YOUNG

Meet Hazel:
Our Little Miracle Dog

Hazel’s story is one of incredible resilience. After a tragic incident where she was shot in the back with a BB gun and left paralyzed, Hazel has made remarkable progress. Thanks to the dedication of our staff and volunteers, she is now walking—and she no longer needs her stroller! It’s amazing to see how quickly she gets around and how joyfully she plays with the other dogs in the yard.

Hazel’s upper body is strong—just like her spirit. She’s a people-loving pup with a heart full of determination. While she once relied on stroller rides to explore the world, she now walks proudly on her own.

Hazel would thrive as a second dog in a household, as she absolutely loves the company of other dogs. She’s ready for adoption, and meet-and-greets can be scheduled to find her perfect match. The shelter team will support her new family every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition.

If you have the love and commitment to continue Hazel’s journey, come meet this extraordinary girl at Dogs And Cats Forever.

NALA

FEMALE – LABRADOR/TERRIER MIX – BORN APPROX: SEP 2020 – AT SHELTER SINCE: MAY 2023

Meet Nala, a beautiful Labrador/Terrier mix, born around September 2020, who has been at Dogs and Cats Forever since May 2023. Affectionately called “Nala Bear” by her volunteer angel, this sweet girl has been waiting far too long for her forever home, and she truly deserves the chance to be someone’s beloved companion.

Nala is such a good girl whose tail quite literally never stops wagging. She’s full of life, easily entertained with toys, and loves to play ball or splash around in the pool. She is energetic and playful, yet just as happy to curl up beside you, soak up belly rubs, or snuggle in bed at night. About once a month, she gets the chance to leave the shelter for a special sleepover with her volunteer angel, and she has never had an accident in the house. She proves time and again how well she thrives in a home environment. But aside from that one night a month, Nala spends all her time in the shelter, still waiting for her forever family.

While she can be a little selective with her doggie friends, Nala adores people and makes friends easily wherever she goes. After spending so long in the shelter, she’s ready to finally have a family—a place where she can be your loyal companion, your couch buddy, and your forever “Nala Bear.” Please come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece of your heart.

WHISKEY (AKA BIG MAC)

MALE – TERRIER MIX – BORN SOMETIME 2020 – AT SHELTER SINCE: AUG 2023

Whiskey is a friendly and easygoing Pity boy, born sometime in 2020. He’s been at the shelter since August 2023 and, despite being such an awesome dog, he hasn’t received the attention he truly deserves. Whiskey has a calm, gentle nature and quickly warms up to new people. He isn’t a big cuddler, but he loves a good belly rub and gentle pets, showing his soft side once he feels comfortable and secure in his surroundings. With time and trust, he’s the kind of dog who settles in beautifully and becomes a loyal companion.

Whiskey enjoys simple pleasures like playing with stuffed toys, spending time in the yard, and even cooling off in the pool on warm days. He loves going for walks and is very good on a leash, though he can be a bit strong at times.
Whiskey would thrive in a home with adults and teenagers who will give him the chance to open up and show just how wonderful he really is. Once you meet him, it’s hard not to fall for his charm.
