Story
Trooper’s story is one of incredible resilience. As a young puppy, he was found with a broken jaw and underwent two surgeries to repair it. Due to his injuries, he’s missing the front part of his lower jaw — but don’t tell him that! Trooper doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He eats, drinks, plays fetch, and enjoys life just like any other dog. His joyful spirit and determination shine through in everything he does, reminding everyone he meets what it means to be strong, happy, and unstoppable. This handsome boy is as smart as he is sweet — he already knows his basic commands, including sit, down, middle, place, and crate. He walks beautifully on leash and is a joy to walk. He loves to learn and is eager to please, especially if you’ve got a ball in hand! He has great ball drive and fetch is easily his favorite sport.  Trooper loves to play with other dogs but benefits from slow introductions. Once he warms up, he’s a total goofball. We believe he could be cat workable with proper introductions and structure. He’s fully housebroken and thrives with a routine, clear guidance, and lots of love. Trooper takes his job as home guardian seriously — he can be a little protective when new people first come to the door. Once he sees that everything is safe and calm, it only takes him a few minutes to relax and make friends. With proper introductions and clear direction, Trooper quickly switches from cautious to cuddly! If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to be your adventure buddy, training partner, and best friend, Trooper is your guy. ##2356715##

We adopted Masher -5 months ago from Ca shelter. He is up to date on shots and flea and tick meds Very sad we cannot continue to raise him. My wife uses a cane now and is the primary caregiver which means she is unable to walk and exercise Masher. We believe he would be a great fit for a family with a yard as he loves to run and play And needs exercise. He loves to walk around our neighborhood. Masher needs a lot of attention. He is very loyal and attentive to his “person/persons”. We have a large crate for Masher that is 4ftx3ft and will sell for $25

Kenzo is 3 yr old Belgian Mali with husky mix. He has a husky personality. Playful, dorky and loving. He is energetic and loves attention and cuddles.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereKennedy is a bright, bouncy, 5-month-old German shepherd mix who’s already proven she’s a little fighter. She survived parvovirus and made a full recovery. At about 36 pounds and growing, she’s a playful, energetic puppy who loves learning, exploring, and being part of the action. In her temporary foster home, sweet Kennedy showed off just how smart she is. She already knows sit, is housetrained and cratetrained, and is working hard on her leash skills. Like many puppies, she can be a bit jumpy and mouthy, and may vocalize when left alone, but she settles after a little while. She’s also practicing sharing her toys and would do best in a home without young children. Kennedy will thrive with continued positive-reinforcement training, patient socialization, and an adopter ready to guide a shepherd puppy into her best self. If you’re ready for the time, energy, and love that go into raising a smart, spirited puppy, Kennedy might be your match! December 14, 2025, 9:24 am

Story
Meet Capri — a Hidden Gem Ready to Bloom Capri is a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix with a heart as soft as her gentle gaze. Weighing in at 55 pounds, she’s a sensitive soul who’s slowly learning the world isn’t such a scary place after all. What she needs now is a calm, patient adopter who can help her continue that journey with kindness and consistency. Once she feels safe, Capri walks beautifully on leash, enjoys gentle pets, and lights up for treats — she already knows how to sit! While the noisy shelter has been overwhelming for her, outside the kennel she reveals her affectionate, soulful nature. Capri will thrive in a quiet, stable home without young children. A confident dog sibling could help her gain confidence, and someone with experience working with shy or fearful dogs would be a huge plus. She doesn’t need grand adventures — just a soft voice, a steady hand, and someone who sees the magic in the small wins. If you believe the most beautiful connections take time to grow, Capri is waiting to meet you.

Story
Meet Jerry – Our Longest Resident Still Waiting for His Forever Family Jerry is a 16-month-old, 55-pound Shepherd mix with the heart of a hero and the soul of a best friend. He’s been overlooked for far too long, and we know his perfect match is out there. Why consider Jerry? • Dog-friendly • Great with kids and adults • Currently fostered in a home with other dogs and children • Potty trained • Crate training in progress • Excellent on leash • Smart, eager to please, and very trainable • Comes with four free professional training sessions • Not suited for homes with cats Jerry is an affectionate, social, and silly pup who loves people and playtime but also knows how to settle down and relax. Whether you’re headed out for a hike, a jog, or a drive to the kids’ soccer game—Jerry’s your guy. He loves car rides, outdoor activities, and tagging along to family events. He would likely do great at dog parks and would thrive with an active family that includes him in their adventures. Jerry lives on a clean, rigid prescription diet due to a recent IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) diagnosis—but don’t let that deter you. His foster family has found it easy to manage, and Jerry is thriving. Outside of that, he’s a healthy, happy young dog who has already overcome a great deal, including two surgeries. He would do best with a home experienced with working breeds—someone who understands the value of structure and consistency. With the right support, Jerry could also make an incredible Emotional Support Animal (ESA). He’s sensitive, deeply bonded to his people, and eager to connect. Jerry has waited long enough. He’s truly a gem of a dog, ready to be someone’s adventure buddy, jogging partner, or couch movie companion.
