Story
Say hello to beautiful Harlow!! Harlow is very smart and active. She is loving and wants to spend time with you. She is quick to learn new things and wants to please. She loves to sleep on the bed at night, go for long walks, chase bubbles, and play fetch. It is best that she lives in a single dog home as she wants to be the only lady in your life.

Story
I picked Chewie up from a litter adoption (friend of the family) when he was 7 weeks old back in November of 2022. His birthday is 9/12/2022. He is a loving and loyal pup that loves attention, cuddles and treats. He is very high-energy, would be perfect for anyone that loves outdoors, walks, and exercise. Or if you have a yard, he can run and play. He has gone through a 30-day board and training, where he was fully immersed in playing with and being around other dogs, along with understanding of basic commands. The ideal situation for him would be a loving family with a yard for him to run and play. He is a wonderful dog that deserves a loving family that can give him the attention that he needs. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and chipped (All records available) - No health issues whatsoever. He loves giving kisses and has quite the personality. He can be sassy in a cute way and talks back =) He is just a big, lovable goofball!

Story
Focused, determined and powerful. Monte is the most lovable bull in a china shop you will meet.  Monte knows many commands including: come, sit, down, stay, heel, and place.   Although he is trained, Monte is a very excitable/energetic boy who will need lots of walks and play time.  He is not aggressive with other dogs, but can become over-stimulated, so would be best as the only dog in the home and without young children.     Monte is a big boy and has lots of personality.  He is great with people and loves everyone he meets.  You just have to watch out for his whole body wiggle and whip of a tail!   There is never a dull moment when Monte is around.  Monte will need a home where his training will be reinforced with structure and exercise, and where he can give all the love and cuddles you want!    *Please complete our online application for further consideration.  We do best fit for both dog and family, and completing an application is not a guarantee of approval.  September 25, 2023, 7:21 pm

Story
Hey fans, Elvis here. What’s that? I’m a hunka, hunka burning love. Well, you got that right. Just look at me.  My mesmerizing eyes, my gorgeous amber coat, the cutest ears ever and muscles that don’t quit. The volunteers say I am the complete package and I’d have to agree. WOOF! Boy, they know me from nose to tail.  I am a little aloof, but love to be loved. Rub my ears, give me a treat and I melt, but spending quality time with my family means the world to me.. I look forward to my daily walks and start off cautiously checking out my surroundings and sniffing all the fabulous smells. Move slowly, give me a little time and space and once I feel grounded it’s giddy up and go, go, go. I do have a little, secret, I also like to jog. When I get the urge, off I go trotting along with the wind in my ears, a smile on my face and you in tow. These short bursts, often called High Intensity Training (HIT), make me one good looking pup and is great for your health too. It’s a win, win for you and me. Another little secret.. I do need to be the only pet in the home.  No dogs or cats and no dog beach/dog park.  You see, I'm ok being around other dogs, but I'm not one to share my personal space!  I have even worked with a trainer on how to be well behaved, and you will definitely need to be on board to continue my awesome training! So dear friends, if you are looking for a hunka, hunka burning love who has it going on, I am the family member for you. Trust me, you won’t regret it. I will fill your hearts with endless love, wags and kisses and you get to say, “ Elvis is in the house!” *no other pets/adult home only/no apartment! Need big dog experience, no first time dog owners!  *Please complete our online application for further consideration.  We do best fit for both dog and family, and completing an application is not a guarantee of approval.September 25, 2023, 7:21 pm

Story
Introducing... BRANDY! She is about 4 years old and a who knows what mix! Brandy came back to us after being adopted a few years ago and is a bit confused as to what happened.  In addition to the stresses of being brought back, she had to have almost her whole tail amputated due to an ongoing infection.  Needless to say, she has been through it all and is a bit stressed with shelter life, although we are doing everything we can to keep her content and comfortable. Brandi can be aloof when meeting new people (can we blame her!), but with some patience and not being too forceful, she’ll come around and love you. Brandy loves to play and loves to go on her walks! She would do best as a solo pet in a quiet home with not a lot of people, and no small kids since they tend to move so fast!  Brandy completed board and train and any potential adopter will need to follow through with additional training.  She may require multiple visits, but she is worth the patience. Big dog experienced home.  No apartments, kids, other pets.  Must follow through with training. *Please complete our online application for further consideration.  We do best fit for both dog and family, and completing an application is not a guarantee of approval.September 25, 2023, 7:21 pm
