Story

When I started looking into getting a dog for my child, I never thought I’d end up with the one nobody else wanted. He came from a rejected litter, and somehow, he found his way to us. From the start, I could tell he was different. Not calm or quiet, but full of this crazy, hyper energy that just wouldn’t quit. And honestly? That’s what makes him who he is. He’s wild, yes, but he’s also the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. He loves people—anyone, anywhere. When he gets the attention he craves, he settles right in and shows off how good and well-behaved he can be. He has his favorites in life: long walks where every sound and smell is an adventure, a pile of toys he’ll dig through to find “the one” for a good game of tug, belly rubs that make him melt, and a warm bath at the end of the day. Dog parks visits are the best outing. Life has gotten crazy. My child felt it was more important for him to be happy and get the attention he used to. I only have a fee to make sure people are serious

Story

Meet Wednesday! 1 year old • 48 lbs • Border Collie Labrador Retriever MixWednesday is a bright, beautiful girl who’s equal parts playful and sweet. She’s a bundle of energy who loves spending time outside, going for walks, and—her absolute favorite—playing with other dogs! Once she’s gotten her zoomies out, she’s happiest hanging out with her people, following them around the house, or relaxing in a quiet spot under the bed.Wednesday can be a little timid at first and startles easily with sudden noises or fast movements, but once she warms up, her affectionate, goofy side shines through. She’s incredibly eager to please and quick to learn, especially when there’s chicken involved.She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and does best in a home where she won’t be left alone for long stretches. Wednesday is still learning her manners—she can get jumpy when excited and sometimes needs help focusing—but she’s a smart, motivated girl who thrives with patient, consistent guidance.Because she can get overwhelmed in busy or unpredictable environments, Wednesday would do best in an adult-only home that can give her the structure and calm she needs to feel confident. A yard where she can run and play would make her happiest, and having another friendly dog to play with would be a big bonus!Wednesday’s ideal family will give her a “job” to do, plenty of activity, and lots of love and reassurance. In return, she’ll give you endless affection, hilarious ear expressions, and a loyal companion for life.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi I am Briggs Stratton, nice to meet you! I am a three and a half year old neutered 35lb red heeler mix. I am such a sweetheart! I am a devoted, loving dog who will be the best companion. It takes me some time to trust my people, but once I do, I give you my heart. I love to cuddle! I am great in my crate, I am potty trained, have no toy or food aggression, and love other dogs with proper introductions . I would thrive in a home with another dog that I can run and play with every day. Besides my foster family, my trainer is my favorite person. He has taught me to be less fearful. I am a champ on leash, know the “place” command, and have great recall. I am a very well trained dog,but I would love for my new family to keep up with training. I want to continue being the best dog that I can be. An adult only home or home with older kids would be best for me. I have never met a cat, but because of my breed, I would most likely want a cat free home. I really am a sweet dog that deserves a forever family. My foster family loves me and wants to find me the perfect home. https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 30, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there, I’m Jazzper! I’m a male, 60 pound, 5 year old Aussie Shepherd mix. I’m going to be honest with you, I need to lose a few pounds. Want to get a head start on your New Year’s resolution? I make a great running partner! We could get in shape together. I would require, however, to be your only canine training partner. Humans are fine! I just don’t like getting too close to other dogs. My foster mom says that with dedicated training, I may be able to eventually coexist peacefully with other dogs. My favorite things are running and walking in the neighborhood and playing with my tug in the backyard. I love learning new tricks. My favorite is when I balance a treat on my nose and my foster mom tells me to “get it.” Then I flip it into the air and catch it in my mouth. Yum! Great things about me: Best as an only dog in the home Good with dog-savvy cats Great with humans over the age of 12 House trained and kennel trained My requirements: Daily physical exercise (runs or walks) Daily mental stimulation (I love to play tug in the backyard) Dedication to kennel time Openness to muzzle training I would like to continue to work with my professional trainer and am looking for a forever person who is dedicated to helping me be the best dog I can be. I am a super smart dog who needs breed-specific (herding dog) mental stimulation everyday. We could learn so many new things together. I know all of this is a lot to ask. But I really am the sweetest boy. And after we exercise, we can snuggle on the couch together and watch some TV or read a book. I’m looking for a patient handler with a consistent schedule. Could that person be you? Apply to adopt me at: https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication and we can set up a time to meet.
