Story
Lyla (A142980) is a 4-year-old Dachshund who weighed 12.75 pounds on intake! 08/11/26 Lyla is back at the shelter and looking for her right fit. Her adoptive owner found that the information previously provided was very accurate. She LOVES her female person and wants to be right by their side or in their lap. She does not have trust with children or men. She would appreciate being the only pet in the home. Lyla is said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and to enjoy going on car rides! She will sit for treats and will come when called! Lyla was said to get into the trash if the opportunity presented itself. Lyla is looking for that specific fit that will let her thrive. If you feel that you can provide that, please let us know! 08/03/26 This shy little lady is Lyla! Lyla was described as a one-person kind of pup, and she loves her person fiercely! She was said to not be overly trusting of new people, especially men. She definitely prefers ladies with a gentle touch. Due to her timid nature, we do think Lyla would do best in a home without children. She was also said to not be overly fond of other animals and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Lyla was said to be kennel-trained, housebroken, and to ride well in a vehicle. She will even kennel when asked! Lyla was also said to not be a chewer and really just enjoys cuddling with her person. If you live a quiet life and feel that you could accommodate Lyla’s needs, please let us know! August 12, 2026, 4:05 pm

Story
Ginger (A143034) is a 9-month-old shepherd x pyrenees x pit bull x heeler mix who weighed over 40 lbs at intake!08/08/26 This super sweet and cuddly girl is Ginger! Ginger was brought to the shelter because she was not fitting in well with the kiddo in the home. It is unclear what motivated Ginger to dislike the toddler, but it is probably best she goes to a home without small children. Ginger was said to do well with other dogs. However, she likes to chase cats. Her next home should be cat-free as well. Ginger was said to be kennel trained and housebroken. She is gentle when playing and knows some basic commands, but she needs some help with her manners, as she has been known to jump on people. Ginger also likes to chew, so it will be important for her to have plenty of appropriate chew toys available. If you are interested in meeting Ginger, please give us a call!August 12, 2026, 4:05 pm

Story
Hello. I’m looking to find a good home for my baby girl neveah. I’ve had her for about 3 months. Was not planned at all. My ma actually acquired her at the soup kitchen. Where my ma volunteers for the past 10 years. So due to sum changes in our own personal lives. We have to adopt her out unfortunately. As you can tell I already call her my baby girl bec she has the personality of once your around her. It feels like you’ve known her forever. She really sweet. And so caring. She at that stage where she still has a lot of energy. So someone who has time and patience would be awesome. And have a friend for life. I just want someone. Who’s going to spend time with her. And giver her the love she deserves. That’s why I don’t want to charge anything for her. It’s not about money. I just want to find a good home for her. That’s all. Someone who would also let us come visit here from time to time or at least keep us updated with pictures. If you have anymore questions. Feel free to ask.
