Meet Jack, the handsome American Bully mix who’s finally ready for his moment in the spotlight. His sister Jill was adopted, and now it’s his turn to shine.
At just two years old, Jack came to us as an owner surrender — through no fault of his own. And honestly… have you seen that face? That big blocky mug couldn’t possibly be guilty of anything except being absurdly adorable. Jack is a big ol’ softie with a heart that just wants to belong to someone. He’s gentle, goofy, and full of love he’s been saving just for you. So come on up, meet this sweet lug, and let him show you why he’s the goodest boy in the building.
$25 adoption fee — and a lifetime of love.

Allow me to reintroduce you to Ajax — the legend, the myth, the inmate‑turned‑icon… and honestly, we’re pretty sure he was framed.
Ajax is a proud graduate of our prison training program, which means this man is housebroken, crate trained, knows all his basic commands, and probably has a few “creative commissary cuisine” masterpieces fed to him during his stay.
He was adopted, but through absolutely no fault of his own, he was returned. Some folks love the idea of getting a dog but forget that dogs need time to adjust. The 3‑3‑3 rule exists for a reason — yet it gets ignored more often than a guard doing headcount at 3 a.m.
So here Ajax is, looking for new digs, a fresh start, and someone to Netflix and chill with. He’s done his time, learned his lessons, and is ready for parole into a loving home. And again — we maintain he was framed.
Learn more about adopting Ajax or explore our available dogs — this reformed king deserves his comeback story.
Victor

Sex: Male
Color: White
Brought in From: Mack Edwards Road, Ponce De leon
- Approximately 1 year old
- Weighs 38lbs
- Leash trained.
- Gets along with other dogs.
- High energy.
Meet Victor, our one‑year‑old American pit bull terrier mix who wandered in as a stray but carries himself like he owns the place. At 38 pounds, heartworm negative, and fully ready to bust out of this joint, he’s on the hunt for new digs where his star power can truly shine.
He’s young, he’s fun, he’s got that “I’m ready for my glow‑up” sparkle — basically the dog equivalent of a limited‑edition release.
PS: He demanded we take photos of his good side… which apparently is every side. Hence the two photos. According to Victor, bad angles are for peasants.
If you want to meet this breakout star, check our adoption hours or set up a meet and greet.

Meet Enya — the girl with the sweetest, most soulful eyes Enya was brought in as a stray, and at just two and a half years old, she still has so much love and life to give.

Come meet your new best friend today.
Yasmeen
ID: #70749
Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Female
Color: Black & White
Brought in From: Russell Road, Defuniak Springs
- Approximately 11 months old
- Weighs 40lbs
- Leash trained.
- Gets along with other dogs.
- Medium energy.
Meet Yasmeen — a little soul with a big heart Yasmeen came to us as a stray, and despite everything she’s been through, she still greets the world with gentle eyes and a hopeful spirit. She’s estimated to be just under a year old — still very much a puppy — and at only 39 pounds, she’s the perfect “just right” size for almost any home.
In our playgroups, Yasmeen shines. She’s social, friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She’s also heartworm negative, which is one less worry for her future family.
But here’s the part that’s hardest to say out loud:
Shelters are not where dogs thrive.
Every day that passes here takes a little piece of their faith — not because they’re broken, but because they’re waiting. Waiting for someone to see them. Waiting for someone to choose them. Waiting for a home where they can finally exhale. Yasmeen is trying her best to stay bright, but she deserves more than a kennel and a concrete floor. She deserves a family, a couch, a yard, a life. We’re asking our community to open their homes and hearts to a shelter dog — to Yasmeen. If you’ve been thinking about adopting, fostering, or simply making room for one more heartbeat in your home, now is the time. Her adoption fee is just $25, but the love she’ll give in return is priceless.
Come meet her. Let her show you how much hope she still carries

Roofus is ready to steal hearts, go on adventures, and maybe turn your casual stroll into a surprise cardio session.
This two‑year‑old, spirited pup came to us as a stray, buts he hasn’t let that dim her shine one bit. At 50 pounds, she’s the perfect size for snuggles, sidewalk exploring, and politely holding your couch down so it doesn’t float away. She’s heartworm negative, gorgeous as can be, and fully prepared to love her new family.
Her adoption fee is just $25, because the right home is what really matters.
If you want to meet this sweet girl, you can come on up and even set up a meet and greet with your dog.
Gizmo
ID: #67952
Breed: Mixed Breed
Sex: Male
Color: Tan/White
Owner Surrender
- Approximately 2 years old
- Weighs 57lbs
- House broken & leash trained.
- Gets along with other dogs, cats, & children.
- Knows sit command & is treat motivated.
- Medium energy & loves playing in water.
Meet Gizmo — the cream of the crop, the cream dela cream, the dog who deserves the world and then some.
Gizmo has been adopted and returned twice. And honestly… how? This boy is housebroken, crate‑trained, great with other dogs, cats, and kids. He checks every box.
His first surrender reason? “Couldn’t take care of him.”
The second? “Won’t stay in his pen.”
Let’s be honest — Gizmo hasn’t failed anyone. He’s been failed. Twice.
Imagine being adopted, thinking you finally hit the jackpot, only to wake up and realize it was temporary. Then it happens again. That kind of confusion and heartbreak isn’t fair to any dog, especially one as gentle and eager to please as Gizmo.
If you bring a new dog home, patience isn’t optional. Adjustment takes time. Commitment matters. And if you’re not ready to put in the effort, please don’t put a dog through the emotional rollercoaster of being returned.
Gizmo deserves stability. He deserves love. He deserves a family that won’t give up on him.
If you’re unsure whether he’s the right fit, you can foster first to make sure it’s a match. Gizmo is ready for his forever — truly forever — home.
Let’s get this boy the happy ending he’s been waiting for
