TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - This week’s Furry Friday dogs are all BFF-ready! Loving and loyal 24-7 from playtime to naptime!

WCTV and the Tallahassee Animal Service Center team up each week to spotlight four adoptable dogs in hopes of helping them find their fur-ever homes faster!

Here are the dogs we are featuring this week:

MEET MATTHEW

Meet my man Matthew!

This gregarious guy is a prime example of why you should never judge a book - or a breed - by its cover.

Matthew is a happy boy.

Treats and togetherness are his thing.

He is active and affectionate and looking for a best buddy who shares his easy going, up for anything - as long as it’s with you - attitude.

Please visit Matthew at the shelter this weekend!

Charlie is a big boy with a big smile and plenty of personality.

This great Dane mix is Mister Manners and Mister Ready to be your best buddy.

Charlie is playful, easy on a leash and loves scratching his back in the tall green grass.

His owner could no longer care for him, but Charlie is happy-go-lucky and looking for a new family that shares his sunny, funny disposition.

Please visit Charlie at the shelter this weekend!

MEET NALA

MEET LAYLA

Meet Layla!

This puppy needs plenty of patience and plenty of TLC.

Layla is not a fan of loud talkers or fast movers. She wants to be able to let her hair down and relax.

The lab mix is trying to figure out what just happened. Her owner could no longer care for her and she’s used to being part of a family.

Layla loves to play and explore and is ready to discover a new home full of love and trust.

You can visit Layla at the shelter this weekend!
