Pongo

ID: #71936
Breed: Shepherd Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Brown
Owner Surrender

Notes:
  • Approximately 6 years old
  • House broken, leash and crate trained.
  • Good with men, women and children

Meet Pongo — the handsome German shepherd/lab mix who didn’t end up here because he was “bad,” but because sometimes life just… lifed a little too hard. His people surrendered him, and we listened. We don’t judge.
(Okay, maybe a tiny bit — but only in the “you gave up THIS dog?” kind of way.)
Pongo is 6 years old, housebroken, leash trained, crate trained, and gets along beautifully with men, women, children, and other dogs. He’s heartworm negative, polite, loyal, and comes with the kind of wonky ears that make strangers stop and say, “Oh my gosh, look at him!”
If you’re into talking to people, making new friends, or just having a dog who sparks conversations everywhere you go — Pongo is your guy.
Come meet him today. He checks every box… and then some.

Kush

Breed: American Bulldog Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Brown/White
Owner Surrender

Notes:
  • Approximately 2 years old
  • Weighs 59 lbs
  • Good with other dogs.
Meet Kush — the two‑year‑old meatball who found himself in our care because, well… life happens.
(And look at us, trying so hard to be kind and understanding about it.)
According to his owner‑surrender paperwork, Kush is “really sweet and loves kids,” and honestly… they nailed it. He’s a 60‑pound cuddle‑unit, heartworm negative, fully vetted, and built like a linebacker who just wants to sit in your lap.
Kush brings laughter, chaos, and confusion in the best possible way — the kind that makes your household feel alive again.
Come meet him today. He’s ready to belong.

ID: #65997
Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Brindle
Owner Surrender

Notes:
  • Approximately 9 years old
  • Good with other dogs
  • Weighs  57 lbs
Kiko, y’all… this nine‑year‑old legend was surrendered because his owner left him with someone and never came back. But let me tell you — that is not stopping this boy from being simply amazing.
He’s 57 pounds, heartworm negative, and has the kind of gentle, steady sweetness that makes you wonder how anyone ever walked away from him. Kiko is the definition of a good dog: loyal, loving, and just waiting for someone who actually shows up and stays.
Come meet this handsome guy and give him the ending he deserves.

Andy

Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Male

All I can say is… do you not see him?! Andy is absolutely stunning, y’all.
This handsome American Bulldog is three years old, 58 pounds, heartworm negative, and somehow ended up here as a stray — but we’re determined to make sure he doesn’t stay that way. Andy is sweet, social, and ready to trade shelter life for a family of his own.
Come meet him today. Once you see him in person, you’ll understand exactly why we’re shouting his name from the rooftops

Teddy

ID: #71778
Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Black
Brought in From: County Highway 183 South, Defuniak Springs

Notes:
Meet Teddy — a 10‑year‑old, 55‑pound sweetheart who came to us as a stray. Yes, ten. Yes, in a shelter. This gentle old man deserves a soft bed, a quiet home, and someone who sees the value in a senior soul.
We’re hoping someone will consider fostering him. We provide all his needs — you just give him the comfort he’s earned.
Please don’t let Teddy stay here any longer than he has to.
If you’re interested in fostering, email animalservices@waltonso.org.

Ty Ty

ID: #70299
Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Brown
Owner Surrender

Notes:
  • Currently in Foster
  • Approximately 6 years old
  • Weighs 46 lbs.
If you’re looking for a dog who will break your heart and heal it at the same time, let us introduce you to Ty‑Ty, a black mouth cur mix with a story that hits a little too hard.
Ty‑Ty was surrendered after his mom passed away — and we’re pretty sure he’s still waiting for her to walk back through the door. He’s six years old, house‑broken, gentle, and according to his previous owner, wonderful with people, including children. He’s doing everything he can to be brave, but you can see the confusion in his eyes. Losing your person is a lot for any dog — especially one as loyal as Ty‑Ty.
He shouldn’t be spending his days wondering what he did wrong. He shouldn’t be lying in a kennel waiting for someone who can’t come back. He deserves a home, a routine, a soft voice telling him he’s safe again.
Come meet this sweet baby today. Let him know that love didn’t end — it’s just waiting to begin again with you.
