My name is Thor and I'm big and strong like the Thunder God himself. I'm a loveable guy who is very active when it's time for my walks, and I would love to put my strength to good use like my ancestors before me, pulling carts. I've been housed with other dogs and was quite playful with them, but because of my size and energy, I would need to meet my new four-legged housemates before joining the pack. A home that has a yard would be perfect for me, and an apartment would be too cramped. Come visit me at HALO for your very own Norse Legend!Photo by: HALO flint.png Flint - Hello there! My name is Flint and I'm an excitable Pit Bull Shepherd mix puppy waiting to find my new furever home. I love to go on long walks and jogs when it's not too hot out with my favorite HALO friends, sometimes they compare me to the Energizer Bunny. When I'm done working my muscles I like nothing more than a peanut butter filled kong or a puzzle toy so I can exercise my brain. A high energy dog like me would need to go home to a house that has a yard for me to race around in, I wouldn't do well in an apartment or sedentary life style. I also prefer the older crowd and shouldn't go home with children under the age of 13, if you have any resident dogs feel free to bring them along so we can meet first. If I sound like the dog for you, come visit me at HALO today.Photo by: HALO roku.png Roku - Roku is a shy but sweet boy looking for a family who will see his gentle soul & love him accordingly. Roku is timid with new people but seems to find trust in gentle kiddos and will make his way to their lap for kisses. Roku is also good with other dogs and may thrive alongside a confident but gentle canine companion. To meet Roku please come to the shelter anytime during business hours.Photo by: AHS logan.png Logan - Hi, I'm Logan, a 4-year-old Poodle-Cocker Spaniel mix with a striking white and tan spotted coat! 🐕 I'm just under 23 pounds, already neutered and ready for my forever home. I'm good with other dogs and have a gentle soul, though I do warm up slowly to new people — I just need a patient, caring hand to help me feel safe. Once I trust you, my affectionate nature will shine through, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without me. Come visit me and let's take things at my pace together! 💕Photo by: AHS tiny.png Meet Tiny — your new favorite little love muffin 🐾Tiny is a sweet Boston Terrier with a big personality packed into a tiny, snuggly body.

Tiny is happiest when she’s playing, cuddling, or getting all the attention she deserves. She’s great with kids and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes her an amazing companion.Tiny can be a little possessive when it comes to food, so she’ll need an owner who understands her boundaries during mealtime. Because of this, she would do best as the only dog in the home, or with a proper dog meet-and-greet to make sure it’s the right match.The best part? Tiny is a low-maintenance lovebug—no medications needed, just a caring home and lots of snuggles.If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly best friend, Tiny is ready to steal your heart 💕Photo by: AHS
