Story
Hello, I'm Landon! I'm a spunky and silly guy with a kind and gentle soul who enjoys long walks and long naps but who can also add a little excitement to your life. I warm up quickly and love making new friends. Whether you're watching TV or reading a book, I’m content just being by your side, soaking up the peaceful moments and always up for an adventure. I’m also playful and polite with other dogs. Actually, at the shelter, they call me a "Playgroup Rockstar.” I’m already learning new things quickly like sit, spin, down, and touch, and I’m ready for a future full of love and loyalty. If you're looking for an attentive and affectionate companion, I promise to be the best friend you’ve ever had. Also, I’m heartworm positive, but that just means I’m available for foster-to-adopt while Animal Friends Alliance provides my treatment. Don’t worry - heartworm isn’t contagious to dogs, cats, or people, and I’ve got a long, happy life ahead of me.

Story
Walcott is the kind of dog who turns heads with his dashing good looks—but it’s his sweet, goofy heart that will steal yours for good. He’s a total lovebug who lives for affection and soaks up attention like sunshine on a spring day. Playful and full of life, Walcott brings joy wherever he goes. He’s got that happy-go-lucky charm, always ready to romp and bounce with a tail wag and a sparkle in his eye. He’s wonderfully tolerant and means well in everything he does, even if he sometimes gets a little carried away with the fun! While he loves to play, Walcott prefers his doggy friends to be kind and easygoing—rough or pushy play can overwhelm him. He shines brightest when surrounded by calm, gentle pups who match his friendly energy. He’s got a heart that doesn’t quite understand grumps—it only knows joy. Walcott would thrive in a home that appreciates his sweet-natured enthusiasm and helps guide his playful spirit with patience and love. He’s ready to be your best friend, your cuddle buddy, and your reason to smile every day.

Meet Paloma! She is a beautiful, fluffy ball of energy with a zest for life and a heart full of love. With her bright eyes, snowy coat, and playful spirit, she turns heads wherever she goes! This girl is always ready for her next adventure - whether it's a brisk walk or just zooming around the yard like she owns it. Paloma would thrive in an active home where she can get her wiggles out and have plenty of playtime and attention. She's smart, curious, and always up for learning something new (especially if treats are involved). After a day of fun, she's more than happy to curl up for a well deserved nap. Meet with Paloma today! Primary Color: White Weight: 50.2 Age: 2yrs 6mths 0wks

Australian Cattle Dog

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Berkley is a sweet girl who is very protective of her owner. She gets along with most people and most other dogs outside of the home. She loves attention and has a lot of energy. She is about two years old and one of the most loving loyal dogs. She is sometimes nervous around new people and in new situations. It is important for me to find her a loving home and I would love to keep in touch my leasing company will not allow me to keep her due to her protective instincts. She has a big sister who plays with her all the time and they enjoy each others company so I would love to continue to have play dates. She is slightly food aggressive with other animals and extremely protective of her owner but will love like no other.
