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.November 11, 2026, 1:54 pm

Story
Meet Mustang Sally! Despite her wild name, this sweet girl is anything but untamed. Mustang Sally is a gorgeous 2-year-old, 35 lb Border Collie mixFar from being a wild mustang, Sally is exceptionally well-mannered, amazingly patient, and completely open-minded when meeting new people and other dogs. She is perhaps a bit shy when meeting children, although she is super nice, we think it would be best to have her in a home with older teens and adults. She loves soaking up all the pets and attention she can get, and walks wonderfully on a leash. Mustang Sally ended up at the shelter through no fault of her own and is ready to bring her calm, loving heart to a forever home.To meet Mustang Sally, please fill out an adoption application HERE: https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt

Meet Kodiak, a real-life teddy bear with a rescue story that will melt your heart.

Her walls came down, her tail started wagging, and her goofy personality finally came out. She’s incredibly cat and dog-friendly and would love a patient forever home with a playful dog sibling to show her the ropes.If you’re looking for a real-life teddy bear and a true rescue success story, Kodiak is your girl.
