Meet Juice (known by his foster as Joey), a neutered 4-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix weighing about 56 lbs, with soulful eyes and a heart that just wants to feel safe. He’s a sweet, charming boy who’s been through a lot and is ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally settle in and be someone’s whole world. Juice is affectionate, cuddly, and loves his toys, but his favorite thing is quietly hanging out with his person, and he loves resting his head and paw on your arm like his own little love language. He can be shy and wary with new people at first. Slow, gentle introductions help him build trust, and once he does, he is deeply loyal and devoted. Juice played with neighborhood dogs, including a larger husky. His play style was bouncy and rough. He has become more fearful around unfamiliar dogs and prefers his space, especially near his crate. He’s seems to ignores smaller dogs, and would be happiest as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention. Juice is not cat friendly and will chase, so a cat-free home is required for him. Juice has an average energy level and is happy with moderate daily activity. He does pull on leash when excited and has been working on that. He responds best to patience and kindness, as harsh correction can cause him to cower and feel guilty. He is always crated when left alone due to his love for chewing, although he does sleep well in there through the night. He’s had some potty accidents. Juice does great in the car but may need assistance getting in. He's always ready for a ride. Juice has only shown some food aggression with other dogs, but with stability and routine he’s made great progress. He eats separately in his crate. He may still guard high-value treats, which is easily managed with respect for his boundaries. Juice would do best in a quiet home with soft-spoken, patient adults who understand that healing takes time. He’s not a “problem dog” he’s a sensitive soul who just needs the right person to make him feel safe, loved, and chosen. Give Juice that, and he’ll give you his whole heart. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.

Gigi is sweet and gentle with a quiet approach to life. I have not one time seen her have a sense of urgency to her, for a treat, on-leash, or to jump-up from a nap. She is slow and steady and moves in a way that would be best described as thoughtful. Take a look at gentleness in action then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/X1QT6Rkxk5A Estimated to be 7 years young, she is a 55 lb Black Mouth Cur/Shepherd mix. We anticipate she has about 5 lbs to gain still so topping off around 60 lbs. Of course, with rescue, breed and birthday are details we cannot know or guarantee. She’s currently more of a couch companion than a hiking buddy, but as she settles in, her playful side is starting to show. I got such a kick out of watching her explore a bunch of dog toys, you could see she was excited about them but was also shy about it, taking a toy and turning away to chew on it or boop it for the squeak. With another dog in the room interested in the toys, she easily made room for her to feel comfortable and had no problem sharing. Thanks to her low energy, quiet nature, and polite leash manners, an apartment could suit her well but she’d also love a quiet home with a yard where she could occasionally chase a passing butterfly- something that did recently happen on a walk. Short version- Gigi is great on leash but a big butterfly going by was so intriguing she got a little extra pep in her step and surprised our Director of Behavior while on an outing together. The telling of the story is comically cute! Gigi is a great car-rider with anyone who has taken her out sharing just how quiet and respectful she is. During a recent car-ride she sat shotgun while her driver enjoyed lunch on-the-go and Gigi did not once push toward helping herself to any. She can be a little shy at first, sometimes retreating if approached too quickly- she is happiest when people let her make the first move, which always ends in sweet tail wags and soft eye contact once she’s decided you’re safe. When she was introduced to new dogs she was polite, walking calmly by other dogs and greeting nicely. Once off leash she was comfortable in their presence but is more companion than playmate, preferring to carve out her own space or check in with a person, when the dogs got a little rowdy. Gigi would do best in a home with a low-energy, respectful male dog or as the one-and-only. She’s a fan of cats but not in the way that makes her a good fit to live with them. When she met out house cat she was interested in meeting him and then as he got more playful she went to match that energy with a playful lunge not welcome by cats. It is easy to see she would attempt to play with a cat and/or overwhelm them with her eager interest, so a feline-free home is a must. Gigi’s looking for someone who will appreciate her slow and steady approach to life and be in full support, by her side for it, one quiet moment at a time.

Brownie Butters the Bestest Boy is not the cutest pup you’ve ever seen? With a face like that, paired with those big golden-brown puppy eyes, he is hard to resist. It also doesn’t hurt that he has a forever-puppy face that everyone loves. Brownie Butters is more than just his looks—he has a happy-go-lucky, go-with-the-flow personality. He is dog friendly, super smart, kid friendly, and loves everyone he meets. What more could you ask for in a companion? Watch his video and fall in love with this handsome boy: https://youtu.be/810fjo1wOIA?si=W2pi9RKDvL8-FQ3i Brownie Butters is a Lab mix, approximately 1 year old, and currently weighs 63 lbs. He is a rescue dog, and with any rescue, breed and age are always estimates and cannot be guaranteed. Brownie is dog friendly and has done great with all of the dogs he has been introduced to. He loves dogs who enjoy play and have a happy-go-lucky vibe. When he finds a buddy who likes to play the way he does, he’s all four paws down and ready for a game of tag—you’re it! Brownie likes to keep things lighthearted, not overly physical, and prefers to bounce alongside his doggy friends. He’s not all play all the time, so there’s no need to worry about your home turning into a 24/7 dog park. Brownie appreciates calmer moments, and after a good play session, breaks tend to end naturally. You’ll often find him exploring on his own or settling next to a person, soaking up affection. He would do best in a home with a dog looking for a playmate who can match his play style and also enjoys relaxed downtime. When it comes to training, Brownie is highly treat motivated and eager to learn with encouragement. He takes treats very gently and stays focused when learning something new. He already knows how to sit and will sometimes offer it automatically. On walks, Brownie may pull a bit at the start due to excitement, but after a few minutes and some guidance, he settles into a polite and enjoyable walking pace. He loves sniffing all the smells while still checking in with his handler along the way. Brownie is crate trained, potty trained, and has wonderful house manners according to his foster mom. He may have the occasional counter curiosity if something extra tempting is left within reach, so keeping food out of nose range is recommended. Brownie strikes a lovely balance between affection and independence. He isn’t overly needy and doesn’t overdo it with attention. For someone who works from home, he makes an excellent companion—content to relax, window watch, or play with a toy, while stopping by occasionally for a quick ear or nose scratch. He would thrive with a semi-active family looking for an adventure buddy, trail explorer, and loyal companion. Brownie would do best in a suburban home with a backyard where he can stretch his legs and enjoy the sunshine. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 12 and up and has done wonderfully with them. He would make a great addition to a family with children. We are happy to test Brownie Butters with anything you need to ensure a great match. Just let us know! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Cleo (short for Cleopatra because of her "eyeliner") is a 7 year old, spayed Black Mouth Cur mix. She is a very affectionate dog who loves to cuddle, play, watch the squirrels, and belly rubs/ being pet. Most of the time, you will find her snuggled up on her dog bed or at your side. She loves to run around the yard, have adventures at the dog park, play with her toys; she is a very fun and loving dog. Cleo is also quite sweet and gentle. She has lived with various other dogs, a cat, and a 5 year old all without issues. She is friendly with other dogs and loves new people. I adopted Cleo from a shelter in Washington in 2019 when she was a 1 year old and she has been wonderful ever since. She has gone through a training school and knows how to sit, stay, lay down, wait at the door before going out, leave it, etc. Cleo would be amazing in your loving home.

MEET ROMEO, a handsome, loyal, protective Black Mouth Cur. Romeo is a handsome 6-year-old male, and he weighs about 74 lbs. (His shelter paperwork says shepherd-boxer mix). Romeo is a gorgeous, handsome dog who loves to walk, hike and be with his person or people. He would be a wonderful companion for someone who loves to hike! He's a great guard dog and can be protective with people he does not know, so would do best in a non-congested area where neighbors aren't a concern. Romeo also has a prey drive, so needs a strong owner. He has done great with other dogs in a home setting. He's incredibly smart, affectionate, and will attach to his person or people. His bond is very strong. He is not a big fan of kids. Romeo is easy to groom, is playful, and loves a good belly rub! He will benefit from walks, hikes, and exercise, and people who understand his breed. Please email for an application.
