Maloy, German shepherd and greyhound mix

Maloy is a male German shepherd and greyhound mix in the care of Woofin Palooza, LLC.

Maloy is happy to keep company with kids, dogs or cats. He's mastered his house-training etiquette. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Maloy's friends at Woofin Palooza, LLC think of him:

Maloy is just an absolute softly. He is super gentle and sweet. He has the temperament and body style of a Greyhound and the coat of a Shepherd. He has huge wonky ears that flip flop all over the place so darling. He is very quiet and well behaved. He has been fantastic with all the other animals he has been introduced to and is having the time of his life playing with the other dogs and getting completely filthy running in the field and digging holes.

Lucy, rottweiler and Staffordshire bull terrier mix

Lucy is a sweet female rottweiler and Staffordshire bull terrier mix currently residing at Pound to Posh Dog Rescue.

Lucy will get along great with your other dogs. She is looking for cat-free home. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She's already spayed and vaccinated.

Here's what Lucy's friends at Pound to Posh Dog Rescue think of her:

Lucy is quite the couch potato but does like to go for walks. She is a gentle girl with a sensitive nature that has been used as a breeder dog. We rescued her and her last litter of babies so she can retire and live the good life with you. She likes other large male dogs with proper introductions. She is friendly with women but is a little wary of men at first. As soon as she knows they aren't going to hurt her she is fine.

Tyler, German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix

Tyler is an adorable male German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix staying at Family Dogs New Life Shelter.

Tyler loves other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Tyler has to say:

There is no doubt I am the right dog for the job. The job of loving you and giving you that special feeling only dog parents know. You know that feeling? That “you are the center of the universe because my life revolves around your love, training, patience, and consistency” feeling? I have heard that a feeling like that makes a person eager to get home at the end of a long day just so they can see their doggie’s face…But I guess that is for you to experience. I just want to experience what a family with unconditional love feels like.
