Meet Empanada, a 6‑year‑old water‑loving boy who spent more than 13 months in the shelter during his first stay. He finally left in January but returned last month when his owner was evicted. Empanada is a huge fun of the pool, enjoys the hose, and plays fetch with squeaky toys and tennis balls. He takes treats gently, sits close for affection, and explores the garden with a calm, medium energy. He bonds slowly, but once he trusts you, he’s loyal, gentle, and deeply rewarding to love. Empanada's ID at the shelter is A2428422. — Meet Empanada, a 6‑year‑old water‑loving boy who spent more than 13 months in the shelter during his first stay.

Meet Rome, an 8‑year‑old, under‑50‑pound sweetheart who arrived at the shelter as a stray in mid‑April. He likes toys and splashing in the pool, excels at fetch, and knows sit, stay, and paw. He enjoys exploring and takes treats gently. He prefers female dogs in playgroups. He can be excited on a leash, but volunteers say he’s easy to redirect, sweet as can be, and always up for attention or playtime.

Meet Pinto, who has been at the Pet Resource Center for more than nine months. Pinto is goofy, playful, snuggly and bean shaped. He loves carrying toys into the kiddie pool, playing fetch and tug, and with toys of all kinds. He sits, stays, and takes treats gently, recognizes his name and comes when called. He is highly treat-motivated, especially for trading toys during playtime and prefers small dog groups and does best with female friends.
