Story
Say hello to Kuma!This large fluff ball is ready to make you swoon with his affectionate personality and hilarious antics! Kuma is a very sweet and affectionate guy, who sure loves to tell you exactly what he thinks. His fun awooo awooos are full of sass and fun, and you can almost tell exactly what he's thinking and feeling with them. Kuma LOVES toys, and will gladly take all his best ones out to his yard to play with them like its the best thing in the world! He has a sister Sanna, that he also loves to play and wrestle with, and they'll each share an end of the toy in a fun game of tug. Kuma wouldn't mind going home with his sister Sanna, and has lived with her for a number of years, so is his go-to adventure pal!Kuma loves walkies and adventures, and will be a great active guy for his new home. He also isn't opposed to laying in the yard; rain or shine, and snooze his slow afternoons away. He wants nothing more than to be around his people, and will lean into you for pets and push his bum into your for those world famous rubs. This fella is seeking a home with NO cats, but would love another dog to keep him company. His adopter should expect the woo woos, and the fur that comes with these breeds, and be okay wearing Doggy Glitter! Interested in knowing more?

Story
Meet Sanna!Sanna is packed full of personality and ready to show it off with style, so what are you waiting for!? Sanna here is a funny and sassy young lady, and sure knows how to make you laugh and make the most of her day. Sanna can be a stubborn girl at times, and will wooo wooo at you and play his silly little keep away games! She loves to have fun, and would adore a home that can help her celebrate her playfulness and offer her lots of enrichment and outlets to get her zoomies out.Sanna loves her bum rubs, and will lean her body into you so you get just the riiiight spot. She is a loving and affectionate girl on her terms, and comes and goes as she pleases for her lovins. She doesn't mind days outside in her yard, and will even lay in the rain, stretching out along the grass.Sanna loves going for adventures and walkies, and will happily trot alongside you to sniff and explore new places. She does look keep away however, and isn't great with her recall so wouldn't be great for any off leash adventure just yet, but with the right training and consistency its not out of the question!This sweetie is seeking a home with NO cats, but would love another dog to keep her company. Her adopter should expect the woo woos, and the fur that comes with these breeds, and be okay wearing Doggy Glitter! Interested in knowing more?

Story
Meet Tessa!This sweet girl is ready to be the apple of your eye and get the home she's been waiting for! This lovely girl is affectionate, silly and full of curiosity, and is waiting for life's doors to open up and show her what its got to offer. She's had a pretty limited life and didn't go out in her previous home, so is seeking to ditch that home body life. Due to Tessa not going for walkies, she has become a bit thick on the hips, and could greatly benefit from someone who is active and committed to giving her health back, and shedding down some of that extra kibble weight.Tessa is so sweet, and is sure to make your heart sing with her loving personality. She hasn't been showing us much interest in toys, and seems more people oriented than anything! Her last home had many dogs in it, so she hasn't ever really gotten the chance to be your all. She would likely not mind living with a new canine friend, but sure wont pass up the chance to be #1!! Due to the number of dogs in her previous home, Tessa has never really gotten any 1v1 training, so would benefit from starting from the basics to be her best self!She has also shown signs of a bit of barrier frustration while here to other dogs from outside of her home, so will thrive with lots of positive reinforcement and reassurance.Interested?

Story
Merk is a handsome hound with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This sweet guy is looking for a forever home with someone who understands hounds and loves their quirks- especially the musical ones! True to his breed, Merk can be quite the talker and has a lot to say about the world around him. He's quite sensitive to outside stimuli and does get vocal in response. Merk is looking for an experienced dog owner who can help him feel secure and where he can relish in all the attention he needs. A shelter is a tough place for a fella like Merk, everything is a bit much for him at times, and he gets frantic and has a tough time relaxing when his mind is set on something!Although he can be quite excitable at times, Merk does settle down when things are calm and he is able to show off his affectionate and goofy side- giving you kisses every chance he gets! In a home, hes a whole new hound, and deeply enjoys the time he gets to spend with you. He loves to stand and lean against you while receiving butt rubs, and doesnt want you to stop! Merk really enjoys squeaky toys, spiky balls are his favorite, and he will happily run after them and squeak them to his heart's content!Merk is looking for a home that can give him guidance, patience, and love. Who can show him positive reinforcement training and gentle learning encouragement as he enters this newfound world. If you're a hound savvy human who has room in your heart and home for one deserving dog, Merk may be the fella for you!Please feel free to fill out an application if you think Merk would be a good fit!

Story
Say hello to the handsome Mr.Boomer!!This sweet fella is ready to start his new life off on the right paw and find the home where he can be doted and loved on for all his days!Lets get it out of the way now... Boomer is LARGE. This fella is seeking an active home that can offer him lots of exercise, and a controlled diet to get to his ideal weight. His previous home wasn't able to offer walks, and Boomer and his siblings didn't get the chance to shed off the weight while there, so they have become rather round. Boomer will benefit greatly from someone who craves adventure and can help him thrive and unlock the energy that's been hidden away from him, and extend his life with great health!Boomer is such a fun and affectionate guy, and wants nothing more than to be your friend, getting all of the love in and sneaking a few kisses when he can. He would love a nice yard to roam in or frequent walks, and is a fan of sniffing out new places. He is goofy and snorty, and is so happy to see you when you come visit.Due to the number of dogs in his previous home, Boomer has never really gotten any 1v1 training, so would benefit from starting from the basics to get his paws under him.He has also shown signs of a bit of barrier frustration while here to other dogs from outside his home, so would be a great boy to work on watching the world go by with lots of positive reinforcement and reassurance. He may prefer to be in a home alone, but would likely adjust well to living with another canine(s) in smaller numbers.
