Story
Timo is a smart, loving, energetic dog. He has a heart of gold and is always aiming to please. We adopted Timo in 2020 while he was a few months old, he is now 6 years old. There are gaps in his training that we just don't not have the time, energy or money to deal with. He is an extremely quick learner and I know he would be a very trainable dog. Timo is very high energy and needs a home that can meet his energy and stimulation needs. Timo would also thrive in a home with routine and consistency.

Story
Hi, I'm Bella! 🐾 I'm a pit mix with a little Rottweiler in me (that's where I get my tan-and-black coat) and yes, these short little legs are as cute as they look. I came from a rescue, but I've spent every single day since making sure my people know how much I love them! If you're an adventure person, I'm your girl. Snuggles on the sofa? I'm there. Weekend hike? Let's go! I'm happy doing anything, as long as I'm with you. The dog park is my happy place, especially when my goldendoodle and malamute besties show up. And food? Food is EVERYTHING to me. Dinner time is the highlight of my day, and don't even get me started on pup cups. I lose my mind (in the best way). My dream home is a quiet one (no kids please, they make me a little nervous) with a backyard I can sniff and explore. I'm fully leash-trained and love walks. I warm up slowly to strangers, but with some patience and consistency? I'll be the most loyal, affectionate BFF you've ever had. I promise I'm worth the wait. 🖤🐶

Story
  Meet sweet old man Tempo! He is a 10 year old gentle Dobie. He is very affectionate, mellow, easy to walk. He likes to play with toys and hang with his humans, and is fascinated by other dogs. He likely has some sort of neuro condition, as he often turns in circles, but he doesn't let it dampen his spirits... he just wants to live out his golden years with a family who is willing to see past his circling and enjoy him as the positive being that he is. If you are ready to open your heart and your home to this social soul, please ask to meet Tempo Tempo has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out his playgroup video below ##2580665##

Story
Gandalf - 57 lb, 3 years old, Shepherd mix. This poor guy was a stray; he was caught using a dog trap. He’s shut down in the shelter environment. He’ll need an experienced, patient handler who can help him to decompress and come out of his shell. Gandalf was evaluated by staff; key observations are as follows: Tolerates gentle petting on the head; shut down; shows limited social skills with people. Overall, appears under socialized and a flight risk! Leash walking is currently very uncomfortable; he will resist, yelp, and attempt to hide. Enjoyed spending time in the yard (on leash), tolerated people being present but does not show much enthusiasm or engagement. He did take treats gently from the handler. Tested well with another male (Coffee); they were able to sit in the grass together and relax. He was also introduced to a more energetic female dog, River. He initially growled at her but then was able to coexist and allow some curious sniffing. Any future introductions to other dogs should be slow and supervised. When returning to his kennel, Gandalf walked inside on his own to hide and allowed staff to remove his leash without issue. ##2604285##

Story
Montana is an affectionate 4-year-old Lab/Pit mix who’s ready to be your loyal companion for life. This sweet girl is a fetch fanatic who lives for playtime and loves nothing more than chasing balls with her favorite humans. She’s both treat and toy motivated and ready to learn new tricks. Montana gets along fine with other dogs, but she’s truly a people-focused pup who wants to be your number-one play partner. On a recent Doggie Day Out adventure, she proved to be a calm car passenger and a wonderful trail companion. She enjoys sniffy walks and likes to lead the way without pulling on the leash. Though Montana can be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly with patience (and a few tasty treats). Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys gentle petting and cuddle time with her friends. If you can toss a tennis ball, you’re already in her inner circle! Montana was placed on final because shelter life has become overwhelming for her. Repeated encounters with unfamiliar people reaching into her kennel have left her feeling uneasy, and she may growl or show her teeth to ask for space. But outside the kennel, Montana’s true personality shines—sweet, playful, and full of love. Montana will thrive in a calm, patient home that gives her time to decompress and build trus ##2599337##

Story
Hi there! I’m Zoe I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, my sweet and gentle personality really shines. I’ve been learning that the world can be a kind place, and every day I grow a little more confident. I love being part of a family . I do wonderfully in a home with kids, even with all the running, playing, and laughter. I’m calm, observant, and happiest when I know I belong. I’m also great with other dogs ! I enjoy playtime and do well in group settings. I’ve even helped a few nervous pups feel more comfortable just by being myself. Watching me come out of my shell has been pretty special. I settle into routines well, communicate my needs, and appreciate a home that lets me take things at my own pace. With patience, love, and understanding, I truly blossom . What I’m hoping for: A loving forever home A patient, kind human A calm environment where trust can grow If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a gentle soul, I might just be your girl . I’m ready to start my next chapter—could it be with you? Love,Zoe ##2529909##
