Story
Grace is a sweet, quiet girl who absolutely melts for gentle words and soft praise. She’s the kind of pup who wins you over with her calm presence and loving eyes. While she enjoys spending time with her brother Hooch, she’s not afraid to let him know when playtime is over — a true lady who knows her boundaries!Grace is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows “sit,” “treat,” and “wait.” She loves affection but prefers not to be bothered while eating (we respect that!). She can be shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she opens up into the softest, most gentle companion.In her previous home, Grace did wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats. Introductions should be taken slowly. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting. Please keep in mind that Grace is looking for a more calm home. Sadly, her family had to surrender her, Hooch, and their kitty friend Bella when one of their owners developed severe allergies.Now, Grace is hoping for a new start — one filled with love, cozy spots to nap, and people who will see just how special she is.

Story
Hooch is a gentle, quiet boy with the sweetest little happy trots that are guaranteed to steal your heart! He may be calm by nature, but he’s always trying to convince his sister, Grace, to play.Hooch is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows his cues — “sit,” “treat,” and “wait.” He loves attention and affection, though he prefers to enjoy his meals without interruptions (who can blame him?!).He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his loving personality shines through. He is quick to open up!In his previous home, Hooch did wonderfully with other dogs, children, and even cats — he’s a well-rounded companion who just wants to feel safe and loved again. Introductions should still be taken slowly and we can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed!Hooch came to the shelter with his sister, Grace, and their kitty friend, Bella, after their family developed severe allergies. Now, this sweet boy is ready for a fresh start and a forever home to call his own.

Story
Seriously… just look at this guy! Lloyd isn’t a breed we see often at the shelter, so we’ll admit we were a little extra excited when he strutted in with all those wrinkles! Lloyd is friendly, with a sweet personality but he can be a tad shy at first; it doesn’t take long before his sweet personality shines through. He came to us with his buddy Reese, and the two previously lived together—they truly get along wonderfully. Here in the shelter, Lloyd has been calm and non-reactive toward other dogs, so he may enjoy having a canine companion in his new home as well. As always, we’re happy to provide a meet-and-greet to help everyone get acquainted. One of Lloyd’s absolute favorite things in the world? Butt scratches. Give him a good scratch and you’ll be rewarded with the cutest wiggles you’ve ever seen. He absolutely melts for attention and loves being close to his people. Lloyd appears to be potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and already knows “sit.” We’re confident he’d pick up more tricks easily—he’s attentive and eager to please. He enjoys quality time, simple joys, and a balance of playfulness without being overwhelming. Because we’re not sure if Lloyd has lived with children or small animals, we recommend slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success. Lloyd is just a sweet, lovable boy looking for a family who appreciates his gentle heart, charming wiggles, and desire to be someone’s special companion. If you think Lloyd might be your perfect match, we’d love for you to meet him!

Story
Colder is a young, wiggly and loving pup who will need additional training! He has absolutely proven to be a trainable boy as he is eager to learn, treat motivated and wants nothing more than to please his people. Colder is excitable on a leash and tends to jump up, once he gets moving on walks his newly learned skills settle in! Please keep in mind that Colder is still learning and is asking for grace while he continues to do so. He is such a sweet boy who deserves a fair chance to show how good he really is! Colder has done great with meeting new people and has been respectful of children. He is well rounded as he enjoys other dogs and was even successful with a slow, supervisor introduction to a kitty! Of course, all of these things are great, but we still encourage slow introductions to ensure the best chance at success. Colder is the sweetest. He could make a great addition to just about any family!

Story
Xaden was originally adopted from us as a puppy a couple years ago. From the sounds of it, Xaden had been rehomed a couple times since being adopted so sadly, when he was brought to us as a stray recently, we had no luck getting in contact with his owner. Xaden is a sweet and shy boy. He wants nothing more than to trust you and be loved but needs a moment to warm up to new people. We do not have any background information on Xaden’s behavior in his previous home, so we are unsure if he has lived with other animals or children. In the shelter, Xaden has been friendly towards other dogs and approaches with a friendly demeanor! He always looks unsure of how he is supposed to get other dogs to play with him, but certainly tries his best! Xaden may enjoy having a nice friend in his new home. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! He has been curious and sweet to the couple of kittens he has seen here. Of course, we encourage slow introductions! Xaden is playful and would thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He enjoys going on walks and loves sniffing through the snow! When Xaden is excited, he has the cutest little wiggles. Xaden has a submissive personality and loves love. Xaden appears to be potty trained, walks great on a leash and knows the cues “sit”, “down” and “wait”. Xaden is such a sweet boy who deserves the very best. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Xaden, we would love for you to come by and meet him!
