Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dina is growing up in the rescue and is  housetrained. She picks up commands quickly, though she’s still resisting leash training.    She loves to chew on toys, with some standing up to her better than others, but plush ones don’t stand a chance. She’s very active and needs another dog to play with. While she can be bossy, she backs down if the other dog asserts itself. Dina loves playing tag and is quite good at it.    She obeys when using hand signals, respects a water bottle, and has learned not to beg at the table. She hasn’t been around children, and it’s unclear if she’s ever even seen one. While leash training is a work in progress, Dina would thrive in a foster or foster-to-adopt home..  If you are seeking a puppy to welcome into your family,  we invite you to consider her. While she may need time to feel comfortable with new people, her loving heart ensures she does not stay distant for long. Another dog in the home is requiredA fenced yard is requirement.She is a foster to adopt and will be spayed.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tuck is still very shy around strangers, but once he gets to know them, he improves. He will need time to adjust to a new home and requires a household without children. He is housetrained and has learned not to beg at the table. No matter who is eating or where, he won’t approach unless invited. He has a big dog bark and will alert you when strangers are near. Once he trusts you, he’s incredibly loving and just wants affection—belly rubs are his favorite. He’s still resistant to the leash, but we believe he will thrive with the right foster family. Fenced yard is required and another dog is a must. Foster to adopt home and will be neutered before adoption.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2025, 1:10 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Puck — the sweetest little senior with a loyal heart and a love for adventure. He’s around the perfect age where he’s calm, cuddly, and low-maintenance, but he still has enough pep to play chase and brighten your day. Puck adores car rides, loves hanging beside you, and will happily nap in his cozy spot while you go about your routine — as long as he can see you nearby. He’s dog-friendly, cat-neutral, housetrained with a little consistency, and gentle with his needs. He walks beautifully on a leash, knows his name, and has the softest little “I’m happy” face when he’s with his people. Puck doesn’t ask for much — just someone who wants a quiet companion, a shadow buddy, and a best friend. If you’ve been wanting a senior sweetheart who will love you endlessly, Puck is your guy.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 17, 2025, 10:50 pm
