Story
Georgie is a sweet 2 year old heeler mix who loves outdoor adventures, playing with other dogs and snuggling with her humans. She'll hike with you all day every day or happily hang around the house. She is food motivated and enjoys training, would do best with regular opportunities to train and work her brain. She has been a wonderful dog, but since the birth of our 1st child, she has become protective of our home and anxious around visitors she doesn't know. She would do best in a quieter home that can slowly introduce her to new people inside the home with patience and structure. She does warm up to new people with gradual intro, then becomes very affectionate and excited to see her new friends. Once you're in, you're in! She loves other dogs, but does not like very young puppies. She is great with our baby, but anxious around young children. She is such a special, smart, sweet dog who we know will thrive in a new home! Happy to pay for training sessions to ease the transition.

Story
Chino is a rescue and is around 7-8 years old. He absolutely loves humans but does not do well with other dogs. He has the potential to do well with small dogs but the introduction will have to be slow with lots of patience. Chino doesn’t do well with children as they overwhelm him and would be better in a home with no kids. Chino also has separation anxiety and will need lots of patience and reassurance. It was recently discovered that he has a few tumors but they are not believed to be aggressive forms of cancer. Chino is so very loved but is being rehomed in order to improve his quality of life in a home with a little less chaos and a lot more quiet where there are no kids. Please help us find a good home for him where he can live out the rest of his life having fun and thriving.

German Shepherd Dog

Story
I have had Akela since he was 10 weeks old, he just celebrated his 6th birthday 01/06/26. He loves to play fetch and anything to do with toys is his favorite thing in the world. He is great with people but absolutely cannot be around other dogs. I did slowly acclimate him to my ex boyfriends female dog and they got along well and live together for almost 3 years no issues. He would do great in a home with a fenced backyard and no other pets. He hasn’t been around children much and while I believe he would be fine, he doesnt enjoy being hugged on or poked/prodded so a house without children would probably suit him best. He is a very sweet dog and just loves playing and being outside but because he cannot be around other dogs and I do not have a yard for him, with his high energy level it is hard for me to give him the life he deserves. I am willing to drive him however far I need to, as long as I know he is going to a good home where he will be loved and well taken care of.

Story
Meet Ciri!Ciri is a stunning 2-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This beautiful girl may have started off a bit shy at the shelter, but she’s truly come into her own and loves to show off her playful, goofy side once she feels comfortable.Ciri is an intelligent and loyal dog who forms strong bonds with her people. She enjoys exploring, being active, and having a sense of purpose—true to her livestock guardian dog roots. Because of this, Ciri thrives in a home where she has structure, guidance, and a job to do, whether that’s keeping watch over her home or simply being your devoted companion.We think Ciri may do best as the only pet in a home, where she can soak up all the attention and build a strong connection with her family. She can be a bit picky with her canine companions and doesn’t want to have to feel like she has to guard her food, toys, or humans from other dogs. Due to her protective nature, Ciri may be best suited for a home without young children.Ciri’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands guardian breeds and can help guide her with consistent, positive reinforcement training. With the right leadership, Ciri is eager to learn and will be an incredibly rewarding companion.Ciri is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines—she’s ready to start her next chapter! If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and devoted dog to share your life with, Ciri might just be your perfect match.

Australian Cattle Dog

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.
