Story

❤️ Meet Samantha - A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Safe PlaceSamantha is a beautiful 3‑year‑old German Shepherd with a tender heart and a quiet spirit. Life has been a little overwhelming for her, and she's now searching for a home that will help her feel safe, understood, and deeply loved.This lovely girl thrives in an environment that's calm, predictable, and low‑stress. Samantha is easily overwhelmed by noise, chaos, or lots of activity, so she's hoping to find a household that moves at a slower pace. Adults or older teens who speak softly, move gently, and respect her need for space will help her confidence bloom.New people can be stressful for Samantha, so a home without many visitors is ideal. She feels safest when she has the freedom to move away and observe from a distance until she's ready. Having a cozy, designated place that's "hers"-where no one approaches her unless she's seeking affection-will go a long way in helping her settle in.When meeting someone new, Samantha shines with slow introductions. With patience, treats, and time, she chooses when she's ready to say hello. Once she trusts, she is affectionate, loyal, and incredibly sweet.A predictable routine will be her best friend. Seeing the same people each day, knowing what to expect, and following a familiar rhythm will help reduce her stress and allow her true personality to come forward.Samantha will likely do best as the only pet in the home. Busy multi‑pet households can be overwhelming for her, and she'll flourish most where she doesn't have to compete for space or attention.If you're someone who understands that love sometimes looks like patience, quiet encouragement, and celebrating small victories... Samantha may be the perfect match for you. She is ready to give her heart to someone who can offer her the calm, steady, and compassionate home she's been waiting for.If you think you might be Samantha's "person," we would love to introduce you.***Samantha will need to be in a Foster to Adopt while she awaits her spay appt and to better support her transition into a new home Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 24.4 Age: 3yrs 0mths 0wks

Story

Honey is a sweet little soul who truly lives up to her name. After a hard start to life, this lovely Frenchie cross is learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. Honey takes a little while to warm up to new people, but after some time and a few treats her true personality begins to emerge. She is playful, goofy, affectionate, and eager to bond with new friends. Her confidence with new people is building day-by-day, and in a calm and consistent environment she is sure to reach her full potential. Honey has done well with children in the past, but she doesn't like other dogs very much and would do best as the only pet in the home. Honey loves to run and play fetch, and would love a safe space where she can get her zoomies out. If you're ready to help a deserving girl blossom into her full potential, Honey would love to meet you!Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. You can also submit an application online if I am in foster or you would like to save some time when you come visit.

Story

Meet Milwaukee 🐾Milwaukee is a bright, busy 3-month-old pup with a big personality packed into a little body! This playful guy loves nothing more than romping around with his favorite chew toys and showing off how clever he is.Despite his young age, Milwaukee already knows **sit, come, fetch, and his potty commands** - he's a smart cookie who clearly enjoys learning and engaging with his people.We expect Milwaukee to grow into a **large-sized dog**, so he's looking for an adopter who truly loves big dogs and is prepared for all the space, strength, and continued training that comes along with a large breed companion.Milwaukee is still very much a puppy and will need a home committed to continuing his training and setting him up for lifelong success. He has begun to show some possessiveness around food, so he will need a dedicated guardian who is prepared to work on positive reinforcement training and may be open to partnering with a professional trainer. With the right guidance, consistency, and structure, Milwaukee has so much potential to grow into a well-mannered companion.Because of his current needs, Milwaukee is seeking an **adult-only home** without other dogs or cats. He will thrive in an environment where he can have clear boundaries, plenty of enrichment, and guardians who are ready to invest time into his development.If you're looking for a fun, energetic puppy to train, bond with, and help shape into an amazing large-breed best friend, Milwaukee may be your perfect match. 💙 Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 17.5 Age: 0yrs 3mths 1wks

Story

Meet Chuck!Found as a stray, Chuck was desperately looking for a new family. Chuck has all the characteristics of a Cattle Dog and Jack Russell, high energy, mouthy, ready for any adventure. We think Chuck would do best in an only animal home until he gets a hold onto his training. He can be very vocal so an apartment would not suit his needs. He shows his affectionate side by showing you all his tricks, nudging for pets, and curling up on your lap.Chuck will need an experienced adopter, preferably one who knows about his breeds.If you are interested in Chuck, please fill out an online application and we will call the right candidate. We do not do walk ins. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Red Weight: 10.9 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks
