Story
Bentley is a loyal, intelligent dog who is eager to learn and easy to train. We rescued him a few years ago, and for much of that time, he was our only dog. Two years ago, he became a father to six puppies, and while we found loving homes for most of them, we kept two. At first, Bentley was fine with the puppies, but as they grew older, he became more protective—especially around his food and the house when they come inside. He seems anxious around them and would truly thrive as the only dog in a home where he can feel secure and relaxed. Bentley takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he’s an incredibly loyal companion. We welcome prospective adopters to visit him multiple times to ensure it’s a great match. A patient adopter who allows Bentley to build trust at his own pace, including with friends and family, will be rewarded with a devoted best friend for life.

Story
We adopted Jax three years ago, and he is a sweet, loving and affectionate dog, as well as loyal and protective. Very playful, silly and FAST, this boy loves to be outside, but is perhaps even more happy snuggling up inside. Our issue is his interactions with our other pets - he is aggressive, and we no longer feel safe having them all together. With larger animals, he knows his place, but ours are smaller, and he doesn't do as well with them. When we adopted him, he was being fostered on a horse farm, and that seemed the ideal situation for him - lots of time to roam about, and that "working dog" environment suited him well. We love Jax endlessly, and this is heartbreaking to write, but we feel it is our only option at this point.

Hi, I’m Cosmic Brownie!I’m a shy little guy at first and can be a bit hesitant when I meet new people, but if you give me some patience and kindness, I promise I’ll warm up and show you just how sweet I am. Once I feel safe, I love affection and being close to my people.Loud noises and quick movements over my head make me a little nervous, so I do best in a calm, gentle environment where I can take things at my own pace. I’m still learning my manners and working on commands like sit and stay, so I’ll need someone who’s willing to help me keep learning.I absolutely love chasing toys, especially squeaky ones, and I enjoy running around and exploring everything around me! I get along well with other dogs, but I’d like a meet-and-greet first just to make sure we’re a good match. I’m curious about cats, but I’ve shown no aggression toward them.I may be shy, but with love, patience, and encouragement, I know I’ll gain confidence and be the best companion you could ask for.

Hi there! I`m Zebra Cake!I can be a little shy when I first meet someone, so I might need a bit of time to warm up. But once I feel comfortable, watch out—I’ve got tons of energy and love to play!Walks are my absolute favorite—I love exploring and sniffing everything around me. If we can’t go on a walk, I’m still happy to play fetch or chase a ball around with you. I also enjoy snuggling up with a stuffed toy or just carrying it around—I’m a toy fan through and through!Baths aren’t my favorite, but I’ll tolerate them if you’re patient. When it comes to other pups, I do best with female friends, though a meet-and-greet is always a good idea. And heads up: I am NOT a fan of cats—I like to chase them, so they’re a no-go for me.Overall, I’m a shy little guy at first, but with some patience, I turn into a playful, loving, and fun companion!

Story
Hi, I’m Butter Cookie! I’m a shy and timid boy when I first meet new people, but once I get to know you, I’m super sweet and very affectionate. Loud noises and quick movements over my head can scare me, so I do best with gentle humans who move slowly and help me feel safe.I love stuffed toys and squeaky toys—and I have a pretty cute trick where I toss my own toy to you to let you know it’s playtime! I’m a quick learner and very treat-motivated. I already know how to sit and enjoy learning new things.I’m still working on my leash skills, so a little reassurance and consistency will help me build confidence. I have a lot of energy and would do best as the only dog in the home, since I don’t do well living with other pups.Good news though—I do well with cats, especially energetic ones, because I love to play! With patience, love, and a calm home, I’ll be the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for.

Hi! I’m Bowser! I’m super sweet and love being by your side wherever you go. I really enjoy going on walks and playing outside—tug-of-war and fetch are my absolute favorite! I like to pretend I’m bringing the ball back, but sometimes I run off and make you chase me—it’s my favorite game!I also love chewing on big Kong toys—they keep me busy and happy. I’m good on a leash, but I do pull sometimes, so a harness is best for walks. Bath time? No problem! Just give me some peanut butter and I’m relaxed and ready.I’m friendly with other dogs, but a meet-and-greet is a must to make sure we get along. As for kitties… well, I’m 50/50. Sometimes I like to chase them, sometimes I just ignore them.Come hang out with me—I promise I’ll make you smile!
