Story
Paisley is a beautiful young pup full of lots of energy! She came in as a stray, but someone took the time to train her. So far, we are aware that she knows “sit, shake/paw” and has an outstanding “drop-it”. Staff is working on other behaviors with her. She is super, super smart, and loves to learn. She would be a fantastic running partner—this girl can run! Paisley will check in with you for pets in between her exercise routine. She truly has a beautiful face that will melt your heart!

Story
We adopted Jack from the local shelter in late 2025. He is a year old. Jack is an active, energetic, working dog who needs lots of physical activity and mental stimulation. He would thrive in a household where his owners also live an active lifestyle.Jack loves Tug-of-War, chasing lures, and sniffing! He's very affectionate and loves treats. He also loves belly rubs and will literally jump for joy for you!He has successfully completed six weeks of basic obedience training. He knows basic commands: sit, stay, come, place, heel, down, and recall (name). He is crate trained and leash trained. We would recommend continued training to overcome distractions and strengthen his focus.Jack is occasionally reactive with dogs and would benefit from more training/socialization. Because of his breed, we do not recommend adopting Jack if you also have cats/other small animals.We really want his next home to be his forever home. Jack is a sweet boy who just needs the right environment to thrive!
