Wylie - adoption pending
Meet Wylie, an 8-month-old male Portuguese Podengo with a heart full of curiosity and a spirit that’s just waiting for the right family to help him blossom. Wylie may not have made the cut for hunting due to his shy and inquisitive nature, but that just means he’s now ready for a life of love, exploration, and comfort in a home that appreciates his gentle soul.
Wylie is a little on the shy side at first, but once he feels safe and settled, his curious nature really begins to shine. He loves to explore his surroundings, sniffing around to see what’s new and interesting. While he may take a bit of time to warm up to new people or situations, his sweet and affectionate side will quickly emerge once he’s comfortable. He’s not the type to rush into things, but with a patient family who can respect his need for space and give him the time to build trust, Wylie will quickly become a loyal and loving companion.
At just 8 months old, Wylie is still young and learning, and his curious personality means he’ll thrive in a home where there are plenty of things to discover. Whether it’s a quiet walk around the neighborhood or exploring a cozy corner of the house, Wylie enjoys taking his time to get to know the world around him at his own pace. While he may not be the most outgoing pup right away, he’ll form deep bonds with his family and show them just how much he appreciates their care and patience.
Wylie would do best in a calm, patient home, possibly with other dogs who can help him feel more comfortable. If you’re looking for a sweet, shy boy with a curious mind and a heart full of potential, Wylie might just be the perfect fit for you. Come meet him today and help this gentle soul find his place in a loving home!

Wabbit
Meet Wabbit, a sweet and gentle Portuguese Podengo who is ready to leave her past behind and embrace a life filled with love, comfort, and security. Wabbit is a small, quiet female with a beautiful, soft coat and soulful eyes that speak volumes about the resilience she’s developed throughout her life.
Once used for rabbit hunting, Wabbit has had her share of adventures in the great outdoors, but now she’s more than ready to hang up her "hunting gear" and settle into a life of peace and affection. Don’t worry—she's officially retired from the hunt, and she’s just looking for a family to love her as much as she loves cozy naps and gentle snuggles.
Though she may be a bit shy and reserved at first, Wabbit is incredibly sweet once she feels safe and loved. With time and patience, she’ll come out of her shell and show you just how much love she’s ready to give. Wabbit thrives in a calm, patient home where she can relax and finally enjoy the comfort of a family who understands her past and appreciates her quiet nature.
Wabbit’s small size makes her the perfect companion for relaxing walks or quiet afternoons together, and once she feels secure, she’ll cherish every moment of attention and affection you give her. Though she may still have a little “What’s up, Doc?” skepticism when it comes to new experiences, a little love and time will make her realize that the hunt is over, and her true adventure begins now—with you!
If you’re looking for a quiet, loving companion who just needs a little time to trust, Wabbit might be the perfect fit. Come meet her today and let this "retired hunter" bring joy, love, and a bit of Looney Tunes charm.

Escobar
 |
Meet Escobar, a 3-year-old all-white French Bulldog with a personality as bold as his striking appearance. With his cute wrinkled face, short snout, and those captivating eyes—one a bright blue and the other a warm amber—Escobar is as unique as they come. His looks will certainly grab your attention, but it’s his charm and character that will win you over completely.
Escobar is a vocal little guy who loves to talk! Whether he’s expressing his excitement, sharing his thoughts, or simply trying to get your attention, Escobar’s adorable "conversations" are sure to make you smile. He’s got a way of letting you know what he wants, and his playful chatter is as endearing as it is entertaining.
With the classic French Bulldog demeanor, Escobar is affectionate, spunky, and full of personality. He loves nothing more than cuddling up with his humans for some quality snuggle time, but he’s also up for a little play session. A tug-of-war match or a few zoomies around the house will keep him happy and engaged. Though he’s small, Escobar has plenty of energy and loves to be involved in all the fun.
Escobar thrives on attention and affection, so he’s looking for a home where he’ll get plenty of both. He’s a social guy who would love to be the center of your world, and with his vocal nature, he’ll always make sure you know what’s on his mind!
If you’re looking for a quirky, lovable companion who will keep you laughing with his chatter and shower you with affection, Escobar might just be the perfect fit for you. Come meet him today, and let this little charmer bring his personality into your life!

Rowan
Rowan is not at the shelter. He is in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting or adopting him, email adopt@mansfieldshelter.org to request an application.
Rowan, a 10-month-old male brindle Hound mix with a personality as unique as his stunning coat. Rowan is a curious and spirited young dog who is looking for a family ready to embrace his playful energy and affectionate nature.
With his striking brindle fur and soulful eyes, Rowan is hard to miss. He’s got that perfect mix of sweet and spunky, always ready for a game of fetch or a run around the yard. But don’t be fooled—when he’s not playing, Rowan is a total cuddle bug. He’ll lean in close, nuzzle up, and happily rest his head on your lap, showing just how much he loves to be close to his people. Rowan is still a young pup, full of enthusiasm and wonder, but he’s also quite smart and eager to learn. Though he’s still polishing his manners, he’s quick to catch on and thrives with positive reinforcement. Rowan’s ideal home will be one that provides plenty of mental and physical stimulation—he’s the type of dog who loves having a job to do, whether it’s solving a puzzle toy or running alongside you on a hike.
He gets along well with other dogs and would be a great addition to an active household that already has a furry friend or two. Rowan’s energy is contagious, and he’s always up for an adventure. But after a good play session, he’s more than happy to curl up next to you for a well-deserved nap.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and always shower you with love, Rowan might just be the perfect match.

Lakota and Rolo
 |
We feel it is time to reintroduce two of our beloved shelter dogs: Rolo and Lakota! You may have seen our earlier post, but these boys have come a long way in the 8 months since they were found wandering in the Cabot Industrial Park in Mansfield. We now believe they were likely dumped by someone who couldn't see the diamonds in the rough. Rolo (Husky/Shepard mix) and Lakota (Shepard) are still somewhat timid around new people, but they have let their fun-loving, goofy, co-dependent selves shine for shelter volunteers to see. They enjoy wrestling and chasing each other around the yard, playing with toys, chewing on ice, and generally acting like most young dogs act. Since we have gotten to know them better, we believe Rolo is closer to Lakota’s age and guess they both may be around 2 years old. They MUST be adopted together because like peanut butter and jelly, they just wouldn’t be the same if apart. Also needed would be a fenced in yard and some patience! Come and meet our entertaining duo of doggy fun!!
