Online Adoption Application › Please read all details in bio before applying for adoption!Link is our very special pup. He is a blind neuro boy and because of this it will take time and patience for him to adjust. He may act out in fear. He occasionaly has night terrors. He will need to get familiar with his new person's scent and voice to know they are near. We are looking for a special person, preferably who has experience with a blind pup and Is willing to discuss and work with him. Link is very fearful of other animals and would do best in a home with only adult humans and a fenced yard.  He will always be a pup. Link has an amazing personality and is very loving, especially to those who give him belly rubs and food (his two favorite things). He knows his crate is a safe place and gets very comfortable. He loves to run and play in the yard. He will be some work for the right individual who can help him blossom.  Link is medium in size, he has grown more than expected.CARE's adoption process is done by the applicant using their cell at the adoption meeting to access the Shelterluv platform to agree to the adoption contract and pay the $250 adoption fee by credit or debit card. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:53 pm

Online Adoption Application › Meet Kiwi!  She's super sweet and very energetic! She'd make a great running/hiking buddy! With some good play time and enrichment, she's great! She'd probably be better off in a home with no cats and children that can handle her active personality. She's very dog friendly and loves people!   Kiwi is housetrained, kennel trained, not too bad on a leash but she’s working on it. She’s not scared of anything! She’s not fearful of loud noises, the water hose, the leaf blower, thunderstorms…. nothing! She loves car rides!! She's very good at listening to commands/direction from her foster.  Kiwi is up to date on vaccines/preventatives as well as microchipped and spayed!   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 27, 2026, 8:44 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Scout! I’m four years old, and around 45 lbs. I LOVE playing fetch and playing with other dogs. I’m not super fond of kids around the same hight as me but I like playing with kids bigger than me! In 2024 I had a surgery to correct my patellar luxation, but I’m all better now! I would love to go home with someone active who likes being outside and playing fetch. I need to run!

Story
Kobe is 6 years old and we adopted him in 2020 when he was 8 weeks old. He has separation anxiety and requires medication to be crated and has been destructive when left in an enclosed area for a long period of time. He’s an extremely sweet and smart dog and learns extremely quick. You are able to take away his food without aggression and he plays with other dogs well. We recently had a baby, and he’s become possessive over the baby’s toys (not his own). He’s been nothing but sweet toward the baby, but has snarled, growled, and snapped when we take away the baby’s toys from him, which is out of character. We love him dearly, but can’t risk any aggressive behavior around our soon to be mobile baby. Has never shown aggressive behavior prior.
