Story
Meet Arrow one of the smartest dogs around! This gorgeous girl has got the brains to go with her dashing looks and she is one fun dog to have around. One of the many qualities about Arrow is just how social she is. She loves people and is always looking to her people for guidance, treats, and a good ole belly rub. She is in groups and can get along with anyone that gets along with her, she not too picky. Arrow love to run and wrestle with her canine friends and is not afraid of getting down and dirty while doing so. If you heard Arrow rough housing you would think she's a little out there as she is a vocal player, big time yapper if you will, but that's just how she is and the dogs get used to it after a minute or two. Although she loves to play, she quickly understand when a dog is done playing or just doesn't have any interest to start. Another great quality of Arrow's is her big brain. She is wicked smart and loves to learn new things. Nothing gets her more excited, beside maybe food, than pleasing her people. She already has a couple basic commands down, and in a home that want to expand her knowledge the possibilities are endless. She is both toy and food motivated making it just a little easier to motivate her a little extra. Arrow would do amazing in a semi active home thats looking for an outgoing dog to add to their life. She is an absolute dream of a dog for someone out there and she is waiting patiently for you.

Story
Meet Gillie! This amazing girl has overcome a leg amputation, but if you think losing a leg has slowed her down, you clearly haven’t met Gillie! She may be one leg down, but this girl is still full of positivity, personality, and plenty of pep in her step. Gillie loves going for long walks, enjoying new adventures, and having a good time. She may need to take an occasional break to give those three remaining paws a little rest, but after a quick nap, she’s right back at it and ready for her next adventure! As much as Gillie loves fun, she’s also a total cuddle bug. Once the excitement is over, she has absolutely no problem scooting herself right into your lap for some quality snuggle time. And when it comes to people, Gillie is a huge fan! She loves meeting new friends and soaking up all the attention she can get. She’s also figured out something pretty important: people are the ones who provide the food, the belly rubs, and the scratches. So naturally, Gillie would much rather hang out with her humans than with other dogs, she doesn't mind them she just has her priorities figured out.

Story
Is there anything cuter than a dog with an underbite? I don't know, but Annie sure makes it difficult to argue otherwise as this cheek-pinching pup is 100% adorable. While that under bite makes her look a little more serious, she is a sweet baby angle that just wants love and attention. Annie is a milder energy girl that love to follow you around and just observe the world around her. She hangs out in playgroups with other dogs that have lower energy levels and they just sunbathe and watch the birds to pass the time. Annie is not a super active dog and would do great in a chiller home just looking for a couch companion who pays their due with kisses and lap warming. Notes from foster: Annie was a sweet girl in the home. She had no accidents in the home and was quiet in the kennel when I would need to leave the house. She was great in the car and settled quickly. On leash she walks well with a pull every now in then when seeing a squirrel or wanting to sniff a particular patch of grass. While she still has a couple house manners to learn she catches on fast. She loved playing with a toys once she adjusted to the home, and a special spot for unstuffed toys with a squeaker in them. She loves squeaking them then tossing them in the air. She loves people and every person she saw on her walks she would wag her tail and want to go say hey.

Story
Bella was found by a friend close to some railroad tracks in a box with her siblings. We had initially adopted her as a buddy for our older dog to hang out with and bring some youthful play to. However, Bella is a very athletic and energetic dog, and a bit too much for our older, calmer dog to get along with. She is fantastic with other young and active dogs and has played/gotten along with them really well. She can get along with cats; however, it is a tenuous relationship, largely due to her higher energy scaring the cats. I think she would do well as an only pet or in an energetic multi-pet environment. Bella would do great in an environment with active "paw"rents who will spend time playing with her or have a large yard for her to run off energy. It is unknown how she would do with children. Based on her high energy, I would recommend she go to a home with older children as she may knock a younger kid down during her high-speed zoomies.

Story
Meet Primrose! Primrose is a very sweet, even-tempered young lady who would love nothing more than to find a family of her own. At just 1.5 years old and 38 pounds, she’s a wonderful age for adventures while still having plenty of growing to do with her forever family. Primrose enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those who share her calm and gentle nature. But when people are around, she’s more than happy to soak up all the attention she can get! She’s dog-friendly and may also be cat-friendly with the proper introduction. Primrose is heartworm positive and will need treatment, but she has so much love to give while she waits for her happily ever after. This sweet girl deserves a family who will give her the love and care she’s been waiting for.

Story
Meet Joanna! This sweet girl is around 3 years old and has a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable package. Joanna has plenty of spunk and isn’t afraid to tell you exactly how she sees things. She’d like you to believe she’s an independent lady who doesn’t need anyone, but her love of belly rubs and head scratches tells a slightly different story. Joanna is a mild-energy girl who enjoys being in the company of others, though she isn’t particularly interested in all the hustle and bustle of playtime. She’d much rather sit back, observe the action, and take it all in. She’s a little more “watch the fun” than “be the fun,” and honestly, she’s pretty charming about it. When it comes to adventures, Joanna is always up for a good stroll around town. She loves taking her time, sniffing all the interesting smells along the way, and soaking up the sights and sounds. Those leisurely walks are the perfect way for her to get some enrichment while enjoying the world around her.
