Story
🐾 Meet Coal 🐾 Coal is a handsome 3–4-year-old Border Collie x Lab mix who found his way to us through animal control, so much of his past remains a mystery. What isn’t a mystery is the kind of dog he is now—an incredibly sweet soul with a heart that clearly longs for human connection. Coal absolutely craves affection and attention. He leans into love, seeks out people, and seems happiest just being close to someone who will give him gentle reassurance. At the same time, we suspect he may not have had a lot of hands-on guidance in his previous life—especially when it comes to things like leash skills. He’s not difficult or resistant, just a bit unsure- anxious because he doesn't understand what's being asked of him. It's as if he’s still learning what it means to be guided and supported by a person. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Coal has so much potential to blossom. He would thrive in a home willing to help him build confidence, show him the ropes, and give him the affection he’s clearly been missing. In return, Coal promises loyalty, sweetness, and a deep appreciation for the love he’s given. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion and don’t mind helping a deserving dog learn the world at his own pace, Coal just might be your perfect match. 🖤

Story
Meet Atlas, a Border Collie mix looking for a new beginning! He was surrendered to the shelter when his previous family could no longer care for him due to time constraints and personal issues. Atlas has spent his entire life outdoors, so he hasn't had much exposure to life inside a home. He's lived with older children but lacks clear boundaries and structure, meaning he'll need some dedicated training and guidance to become his best self.Atlas is smart, energetic, and eager to learn-qualities typical of his breed-so with the right commitment, he has the potential to excel. He'll benefit from a family who can invest time in teaching him basic manners, house training, and giving him plenty of mental and physical stimulation.If you're looking for a dog with a lot of potential and you're up for the rewarding challenge of helping him adapt, Atlas could be the perfect fit for you! He's waiting for a family who can give him the time, patience, and love he needs to thrive Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 40 Age: 2yrs 4mths 3wks

Australian Cattle Dog

Story
Askem is a sensitive and soulful little guy who’s had his world turned upside down recently. At around 25 pounds, he’s on the smaller side — possibly a mix of Heeler and Chihuahua — and combines the sharp intelligence and need for purpose of a working dog with the emotional sensitivity and wariness that can come with tiny-dog genetics. The result? A dog who feels deeply, bonds strongly, and needs a bit of extra support navigating change. Askem was originally adopted from us as a puppy and spent the majority of his life with his first owner, who adored him. They gave him a loving, stable home for nearly two years and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him — affectionate, loyal, and a true companion. Unfortunately, a sudden change in their living situation meant they could no longer care for him. They tried to rehome Askem to a relative, but the match just wasn’t right, and after a short time in that second home, Askem found himself back with us — confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what was happening. Understandably, he hasn’t adjusted well to the change. He’s a naturally nervous dog, and losing the only home he ever knew has shaken his sense of security. In the short-term home he passed through, Askem was reported to struggle with house training and was defensive with guests. These behaviors aren’t uncommon for dogs dealing with stress and uncertainty — especially those like Askem who are already prone to anxiety. It seems likely that he tried to cope the only way he knew how: by overcompensating with controlling behavior (classic Heeler) and reacting quickly when he felt vulnerable (classic Chihuahua). What Askem needs now is someone who can see past those stress responses and understand what they really mean — a dog who is insecure, not difficult. He would thrive with a confident, patient person who can offer him structure, predictability, and firm-but-kind boundaries. He’s the kind of dog who finds comfort in routine, and who will slowly let his guard down when he knows what to expect and who to trust. Beneath the nerves, Askem is incredibly affectionate. Sit down with him and speak softly, and you’ll see the longing in his eyes — he wants to be close, to crawl into your lap, to melt under your touch. He loves scritches and rubdowns and clearly desires connection. We're giving him the time and space he needs right now to rebuild his confidence, and he's already starting to show those sweet, loyal glimpses of the dog he once was. Askem isn’t a dog for everyone — he needs a calm home, likely without young children, and with someone who’s familiar with shy or reactive dogs. But for the right person, he’ll be a deeply rewarding companion. If you believe that trust is something worth earning, and you're ready to help a dog rediscover what it means to feel safe, Askem just might be waiting for you.

Story
🐾 Meet Rocket 🐾 Rocket is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog whose world was turned upside down due to an unfortunate and heartbreaking situation. He didn’t lose his home because he wasn’t loved or wanted—in fact, quite the opposite. Rocket had a family, a kid who adored him, and a home where he was clearly cherished. During a child’s birthday party, with lots of extra kids running around (as kids do), Rocket handled the excitement well for quite some time. But as a herding breed, his instincts eventually kicked in. In an attempt to regain control of the chaos, Rocket nipped a child on the back of the leg. While the situation was resolved and no lasting harm was done, the landlord ultimately decided Rocket could no longer stay in the home. His kid was devastated, and Rocket didn’t understand why everything suddenly changed. The transition has been very hard on him. He’s still adjusting to the shelter environment, which is a far cry from the life he knew. Even so, we are more than willing to be a character witness for Rocket—because this boy is good. Rocket is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He seeks out human attention and leans into love, making it very clear that he’s been well cared for and deeply bonded to his people. We were told he is house trained, has lived with kids his whole life, does okay with cats, and has had doggie friends in the past. Rocket would thrive in a home that understands and respects herding breed instincts—one that can provide structure, guidance, and appropriate outlets for his intelligence and energy. With the right environment and expectations, Rocket has so much love and loyalty to give. This wasn’t a bad dog situation. This was a heartbreaking circumstance. Rocket deserves a second chance at the stable, understanding home he so desperately misses. 💙

Story
Meet Flop! 🐾 Flop is a lovable, goofy, and sweet-natured boy we estimate to be around 1 year old. We believe he’s a cattle dog x terrier mix, giving him a fun blend of intelligence, energy, and affection. Flop originally appeared as a stray on a gentleman’s property, and after several days of no one coming forward to claim him, he was brought to us. Because of this, we don’t know much about his life before rescue, but we can confidently say his future is looking bright. Flop is an absolute sweetheart who truly doesn’t know a stranger. He greets everyone with a wagging tail and a hopeful expression, always eager to make new friends and soak up attention. He enjoys being around people and seems happiest when he’s included in whatever is going on. While he’s very social, he’s still adjusting to life indoors and can be a little nervous in new environments. You may catch him belly-crawling through our lobby, which is both endearing and a sign that he’s still learning to feel safe and confident. With patience, reassurance, and routine, his confidence continues to improve every day. He is very food-motivated and eager to please, which makes him a great candidate for training. Flop appears to know some basic commands and is quick to catch on, but he’s still a young dog who will benefit from consistent structure, guidance, and positive reinforcement. He would do best in a home that understands the importance of continued training, mental stimulation, and regular exercise to help him grow into the best version of himself. Flop has all the makings of a wonderful companion — loyal, affectionate, playful, and full of potential. He’s ready for a family who will give him the stability, love, and guidance he deserves. In return, he promises plenty of tail wags, cuddles, and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a friendly, devoted sidekick to share life’s adventures with, Flop might just be your perfect match. 🐶💙
