Story
Angus is a sweet loving really great dog. He is 5 years old, he has tons of energy unfortunately his energy level and size make him a wrecking ball. He has unintentionally injured me several times. But he is so sweet and the best nap companion. Just beware of wild zoomies and I recommend no small children or other dogs it allows him to play too rough and wild. He does have some food allergies. Mostly chicken.

Story
Meet Pepper! 🐾❤️ Pepper is a beautiful 1 1/2 year-old Mini Aussie looking for her forever home! My grandma absolutely loves her, but with how much she travels, she just isn’t able to give Pepper the time and attention she deserves. We’re hoping to find Pepper a loving home where she’ll get plenty of attention, love, and companionship. We just want to make sure she goes to a wonderful family who will love her as much as we do! ❤️ Please reach out if you’re interested in giving Pepper a forever home!

Story
HELLO! I'M MOCHA! Did you bring a toy? Do you want to play? What's that over there? Can I see it? Can I chase it? Can I put it in my mouth? I've got places to bounce, things to investigate, toys to collect, and approximately seventeen million thoughts happening at once. I'm a puppy, which means the world is fascinating, everything is exciting, and sitting still is sometimes a very unreasonable request. I'm always ready for my next adventure, whether that's playing with my favorite toy or watching something happen across the room like it's the most important event in history. Now, once I've burned off some of that puppy energy, you'll get to see my sweet side. I'm a lovable little guy who's still learning the ropes of life. I'll need someone willing to keep teaching me good manners and give me plenty of appropriate outlets for my energy. Because I'm still learning to keep my mouth to myself, I'd do best with kids over 10 who understand puppy behavior. If you've got the patience for a goofy youngster and the energy to keep up with my antics, I'm ready to bring a whole latte love into your life! We do not see Adopt-a-Pet inquiries!

Story
Hello, Im Biscuit. I am a very calm boy who is learning how to open up again. I love people and truly want to be touched, cuddled and given attention as much as possible - but I do wait calmly and stoically for people to give me that attention. When volunteers take me on walks and spend time with me, it shows me I can show my personality comfortably and I really start to blossom. I have the softest eyes that radiate kindness and pureness. I am so ready to receive all the love that I know is out there for me! We do not see Adopt-a-Pet inquiries!

Story
Hi, I'm Rango! Have you ever seen a dog with stars in his eyes? Well, now you have! My eyes have a unique starry appearance, but don't worrythey don't affect my vision. I'm a Border Collie with a thoughtful, sensitive personality, and the world can feel a little overwhelming sometimes. I might be nervous when we first meet, but underneath that shyness is a boy who's curious about what's waiting beyond his comfort zone. I enjoy going for walks, and if you've got treats, you're already well on your way to becoming my new favorite person.I'd love a patient person who wants to help me keep growing in confidence and show me all the good things life has to offer. Maybe we'll explore new trails, take peaceful neighborhood walks, or practice being brave somewhere new. I don't need someone to rush me into being the boldest dog in the room; I just need someone who will celebrate the little victories with me. With a little encouragement and a pocket full of treats, I think my future is looking pretty bright. After all, every star deserves a chance to shine! We do not see Adopt-a-Pet inquiries!

Story
Mira is part baby hippo and part bear cub, with the cutest & quirkiest ears you have ever seen! She is playful and loves a game of tug or fetch, but also enjoys a soft doggy bed to lay on. Guard dog? More like professional welcomer of all people. She greets strangers like her long lost best friend! She is currently living with another dog in her foster home, but she would be happy being an only dog too, as she wouldn't mind soaking up all of the attention for herself. She is potty trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, and has a great foundation of obedience training. She is ready to be a beloved family dog and your new best friend!
