Story
Blue is a smart energetic dog and he also knows how to relax by the fire. He hasn’t had exposure to kids and is sensitive to loud noises. He takes a bit to warm up to new people but if he likes you, he loves you. He will do best with routine and not a lot strangers on a farm or ranch with other dogs where he can be active. He would love a job as he aims to please.

Story
Nutmeg is a silly and fun 2.5 month old mixed breed puppy who is ready to bring love, laughter, and lots of cuddles into his future home! This chunky monkey came to us with his siblings from our friends at Underdog Rescue and Rehab in Moab, Utah. While Nutmeg may have had a rough start to life (he is recovering from some non-contagious skin issues) he’s thriving now and can’t wait to find a forever family of his own!Nutmeg is sweet, fun-loving, and full of puppy joy. He loves to play, soak up attention, and then curl up for a good cuddle session—he’s a true snuggle bug! With his friendly and social nature, Nutmeg should do well in a home with other friendly dogs, respectful kids, and possibly even cats!As with all puppies adopted from our shelter, Nutmeg would benefit from a family committed to ongoing socialization and positive reinforcement–based training to help him grow into a confident, well-adjusted companion dog.Mr. Nutmeg is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his age-appropriate puppy vaccines. Don’t miss your chance to meet this sweet, squishy boy—he’s ready to steal your heart!

Story
Meet Ashleigh!Ashleigh is a stunning 2 year old bully breed-type mix who’s ready to find a family she can finally call her own! Sweet Ashleigh was adopted from our shelter a few months ago, but has recently returned when her new home was just not the right fit for her. Ashleigh first arrived at our shelter as a shy, shut down, and unsure stray; but with patience, compassion, and consistent love, she really opened up to our staff and volunteers and we saw a young pup who needed time and patience to teach a nervous girl that there really is some good in the world. Ashleigh has a gentle spirit and so much affection to give. Once she feels safe with you, she’ll happily share her soft snuggles, wagging tail, and even the occasional burst of playful zoomies! This girl loves her toys and is happy to play by herself (but would much rather play with you!) She’s done incredibly well with other dogs here at the shelter and may truly thrive with a friendly, confident canine companion to help guide her and keep her company. Miss Ashleigh will need an adopter who understands that trust takes time. She does experience separation anxiety, so she’s looking for an experienced, patient home that can help her continue building confidence and feeling secure. A calm environment, possibly with another well-mannered friendly dog or a loving human who works from home, would be wonderful for her! At this time, because she can be anxious and easily overwhelmed, we think a home without young children would be the best fit for her. If you believe that the most meaningful relationships grow from understanding and gentle reassurance, Ashleigh might be the perfect match for you. Come meet this special girl and see just how rewarding it is to help a shy pup shine!Ashleigh is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines — she’s all set and waiting for her perfect forever home, we know her humans are out there waiting for her!

Story
Murphy is a sweet 9-year-old mixed breed whom we adopted as a rescue puppy. She's been a wonderful companion and brings a lot of joy to our home. Now that we're retired, we're spending more time traveling, exploring the US by van. Unfortunately, Murphy isn't comfortable with van travel, so we're looking for a loving home where she'll receive plenty of affection, long walks, and outdoor adventures. Murphy adores being around people and children, and once she gets to know you, she's loyal and loving. She thrives in a peaceful setting and would be happiest as the only dog in the household, soaking up undivided attention and lots of cuddles. She prefers female companionship and can be hesitant with unknown men. She's healthy, weighs about 40 pounds, walks well on a leash, crate-trained, and is housebroken. Murphy would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys nature walks and hikes. We are committed to finding Murphy a family who will provide the loving home she deserves.

Story
Quinn’s birthday is 06/02/2020. A family member gave her to me when she was 1.5 years old. She can be timid and needs reassurance. She was picked on by children and now does not like them. She has a strong prey drive and is known to go after small animals. She loves to go on walks and does well in the vehicle. At home she would rather be outside in the yard or napping. Moderately active but prefers to be lazy. Very food motivated. She would do best in a home with no children or other pets.

Story
Helena’s birthday is 09/06/2022. She was found as a stray puppy and adopted at five months old. She seems to get along with everyone but has not had much interaction with children. She does jump fences but I have an electric collar system I can rehome her with. That has worked well for us. She loves to snuggle and does well off leash. She’s very smart and confident. I think she would do best in a single dog home. Her favorite thing is lying in a stream of water or burying herself in the snow. She has lots of energy and loves to go on outdoor adventures. She was diagnosed with hip dysplasia but has not needed surgery.
