Story
Ava is absolutely AMAZING with kids and people of all ages. She loves humans more than anything and craves deep connection — she wants to be as close to her person as possible at all times. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely, Ava is your girl.She is fully potty trained, rides well in the car, and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced, secure yard where she can burn energy and then come inside for cuddles.Ava cannot live with cats due to high prey drive and is recommended as the only dog in the home. While she has had one carefully built dog friendship, she generally has a strong aversion to other dogs. She will also need some continued work on leash skills.Ava deserves a loving home that will embrace her big heart and give her the connection she craves.July 30, 2026, 1:38 am

Hi! I'm Meg March! I was surrendered by my owner with my siblings. Two of my sisters have been adopted, and their adopters cannot say enough great things about our family traits: very smart, gentle, affectionate, and eager to please. My sisters also learned to walk well on a leash almost immediately. I share these wonderful qualities and have some others I want you to know about, too!At just over a year old and 50 lbs., I am the perfect size for every human pack! Oh, I’m also housetrained. Volunteers say I have the prettiest black coat with copper highlights; you should see it in person! I need confidence and a family that will lead with routine, exercise, and structure so that I learn to trust my humans and feel safe. Will you be my hero?

Story
After her owner was found passed away, Goldie survived over a week without food or water before being rescued. Despite this trauma, her spirit remains incredibly sweet and her loyalty to humans is unwavering. Currently weighing 39 pounds, Goldie is a little underweight and needs a patient home where she can focus on physical recovery and decompression. She grew up alongside other dogs and finds great comfort in their company, so her ideal forever home is with an existing canine sibling to help her feel at home again.  Goldie is a devoted companion who is ready to leave her past behind. She’s only 4 years old. She just needs a family willing to provide the steady meals and abundant love necessary to help her become her healthiest self again.
