Story
Hank is a sweet, healthy, affectionate and adorable 10-month-old puppy looking for an active home. His breed mix is anyone's guess, but I think he might be a Labrador/Staffy mix. This boy is a real love. He wants to be where you are and doesn't know personal space. Hank’s tail wags so hard his whole rear end shakes! He just really likes to be around people and animals. When the day is over, he settles down nicely and he loves his soft bed. He is crate trained and adoption fee includes his kennel. This sweet boy is just a puppy! He is fully potty trained and is working on his leash training and house manners. He’s food-motivated and will sit when asked. Hank was rescued from Kansas City where he lived on the streets with his owner. We are trying to find him the perfect family and will foster him until we can. There are already two other dogs in our household so we can’t formally adopt him but will foster him. He truly wants to be someone's best friend.

Story
Goose is a loving sweetheart, but unfortunately has not done well with our toddler. She needs a place where she can be the center of attention with no kids or other pets. She is well socialized in an office setting and gets along with most adults. She will be turning 8 in October this year, but is still a puppy at heart. Loves going for walks outside and enjoying the smells. She enjoys hikes, going to dog parks (mostly to say hi to the people). She mostly is indifferent to other dogs, but will occasionally be interested enough in some to play and run around, but she's usually more interested in smells and getting pets. Had spinal surgery in September 2025, fully recovered but should avoid jumping up onto coaches/benches to avoid reinjury. More information on her injury and recovery available upon request.

Story
Leigh is a very sweet girl who never learned to communicate with other dogs. We lost my partner to cancer when Leigh was nine months old. She was never socialized well and became very unpredictable around other dogs in our home. She loves to play fetch, go on walks, and play in the snow. She has not spent time with children.

Story
Meet Coco Bean!🐾She is a sweet 5-month-old pup who’s ready to find her forever home! She’s full of energy and loves to play, making her a great match for an active person or family. She’s potty trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside, and she already knows how to sit and listens well.She does great with kids and other dogs, currently living happily with two older dogs. She loves treats, enjoys going on walks, and is working on improving her leash skills. We’re looking for a loving home where she can get all the attention and care she deserves. Due to space and financial challenges, we’re unable to keep her, and she has not yet been vaccinated or spayed.If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup to grow with your family, she could be the perfect fit! 🐶💛

Story
Hi! I'm Opal and I'm just under 5 years old. I have beautiful blue eyes that I get lots of compliments on. My favorite activity in the whole world is running and I would love to be someone's jogging companion, but I'm also content with a 30 minute walk daily and some yard time. I also enjoy curling up beside my humans on the couch and lounging outside in the sun. I get along well with most other dogs (particularly male dogs) and I have met a few cats and got along well with all but one of them. Other good attributes about me are that I'm completely potty trained (no accidents since I was a puppy!), I am not food aggressive, I don't shed a lot, and I sleep through the night happily. My owners are trying to re-home me because I am very scared of young children and they recently had a baby. I need to be placed in a home with children over the age of 10. My DNA test said I'm predominately Supermutt, Cattle Dog, and German Shorthaired Pointer.

Story
Clementine is a sweet puppy. Unfortunately our older rescue dog does not like a new puppy in the house and we have sadly concluded that it would be best for both dogs for Clementine to find a new home. Clementine is mostly house trained and loves to walk and play. She is approximately four months old and we have been working with an obedience trainer. She is smart and is quick to pick up new skills. We're looking for another loving home for Clementine where she can grow and thrive.
