Story
Duke (or Marty as his foster family has nicknamed him) is a 6-year-old Basset mix with a mellow, curious nature and a personality that slowly reveals itself to those willing to be patient. He can be shy and unsure at first, especially with new people or too much direct attention, but he’s been making steady progress and now happily takes treats from gentle hands. Duke may not have spent much time as an indoor dog before, but he’s learning the comforts of home one blanket at a time. When he feels safe, his sweet side comes out in the form of quiet companionship and devotion.Duke is a low-key charmer who loves other dogs, rarely barks, and has impeccable manners when it comes to food and furniture. He doesn’t jump on people, won’t counter-surf, and usually shadows his favorite humans. He enjoys walks and exercise, especially when he can really stretch his legs, and the more activity he gets, the better he does with his house-training routine. While he’s still working on potty habits and does best with structure and consistency, he is making progress and improving every day.Duke is not a fan of crates or confinement and will need a home willing to work around that while continuing positive training. He’s clingy in the best way, happiest curled up on the couch under a blanket, and will loyally wait outside the bathroom door like a devoted little bodyguard. He has a joyful, heart-melting “happy dance” that appears during dinnertime, transforming him into a completely different dog. Duke is looking for a patient, understanding home that sees his quirks not as flaws, but as part of what makes him uniquely lovable.Duke is a work in progress and needs a devoted patient family to help him grow into the best version of himself!

Story
Woody is an active, fun-loving 3-year-old Basset Hound mix who’s ready to bring energy, joy, and plenty of laughs to his forever home! This happy guy still has some puppy habits—especially his love for chewing. Whether it’s a squeaky toy, tasty treat, chew bone, or (oops!) something he shouldn’t have, Woody will happily test it out. His new family will want to keep tempting items out of reach to set him up for success.Woody is house-trained and generally a quiet companion, speaking up only when the doorbell rings or someone unfamiliar comes by. He thrives on playtime and would do best with a fenced yard where he can run to his heart’s content. He’d love to have a canine buddy to wrestle and romp with, but he’s also happy as an only dog—as long as he has enough human companionship and activities to keep him busy.Woody loves children, especially older kids who can keep up with his playful energy and don’t mind his sometimes-rough play style. He’s a loyal shadow, always happy to follow his family around and curl up nearby for a nap. Walks are another favorite, and he’s making great progress on his leash manners. With his quick mind and eagerness to please, Woody is a joy to train.If you’re looking for a spirited, affectionate companion who’s always up for fun, Woody could be the perfect match.

Good with dogs,
Story
Penelope—affectionately known as Peepee—is a sweet but sassy little girl who has come a long way from her feral beginnings. She’s discovered the comforts of indoor life and has fully embraced them, especially when it comes to blankets. Penelope loves to curl up on the couch and will happily spend hours snuggled nearby. While she’s still learning to trust human touch, Penelope does best with patience and compassion. She prefers to lie close to her person rather than be petted, and she’ll let you know when she’s feeling overwhelmed. Her confidence continues to grow at her own pace, and with time, her comfort around people keeps improving. Penelope has a playful side too—she loves squeaky toys, though she’s a bit bashful about it. Don’t be surprised if you only hear her playing once you’ve left the room. She will make her opinions known, however. If her water bowl is empty, dinner is late, or another dog is misbehaving, her adorable grumbly barks will quickly get your attention. She’s making great progress learning to walk on a leash, but she’s just as happy sunbathing or quietly observing the world from a distance. Penelope will need continued support to become comfortable with grooming and vet visits. She has a lovely, gentle temperament and gets along well with dogs of all sizes and sexes—she currently lives with a pack of five Cane Corsos. Though shy around strangers, she does not bark or bite to communicate. And with her signature Dobby ears and panda eyes, Penelope has a way of stealing hearts without even trying. Penelope is looking for a calm, understanding home that will allow her to continue blossoming at her own pace. 💛

Story
Meet Moped!
 Moped is a sweet, happy-go-lucky guy who thrives with another dog in the home. Extremely silly and full of personality, his foster family describes him as “a bouncing, twirling, running, licking energy tornado!” Despite all that enthusiasm, Moped is also a certified lap dog who loves being close to his people. He’s crate trained and more of a follower than a leader—he takes cues from other dogs and enjoys having both canine and human companions around. Moped is ready to bring joy, laughs, and lots of love to his forever home.
