Story
Meet Lola – Your One-and-Only! 🐾After two years in the shelter system, this sweet girl is more than ready to find her forever home—and trust us, she’s worth the wait. Lola has had the chance to spend time in a foster home, and we’ve learned that in a calm, stable environment, she truly thrives.Lola is affectionate, loyal, and just the right amount of sassy. She adores pig ears, chew bones, and lounging in her favorite sunny spots. She’s not a fan of crates or being confined to small spaces, but she’s proven to be totally trustworthy when left to free-roam the house. Give her a cozy couch and a good chew, and she’s set for the afternoon.She can be a bit shy with new people—especially strangers in uniforms (maintenance workers, we’re looking at you)—but once she feels safe (a quick walk together helps her bond quickly!), she blossoms into a goofy, loving companion who wants to be wherever you are.Lola would do best as the only pet in the home—she’s not interested in sharing her people, thank you very much. But that just means more love, cuddles, and loyalty for you.If you’re looking for a one-on-one bond with a dog who will be your ride-or-die bestie, Lola’s your girl. 💛 Meet her and see what two years of waiting has built—pure, patient love just waiting to come home.Requirements: Martingale Collar; Children 10+; ShyAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.

Story
Hi there, I’m Gatsby!Some dogs just have that special spark—and I’ve been told I’ve got it. I’m three years old, weigh about 40 pounds, and am the perfect size for cuddles on the couch or adventures outside. I’m the kind of pup who happily makes friends with other dogs, leans in for snuggles, and wins people over with my gentle heart and soulful eyes.I do have something unique about me: I have a condition called megaesophagus. That might sound big and scary, but really it just means I eat sitting upright in my special Bailey Chair so gravity can do the work for me. After a few minutes of relaxing in my chair post-meal, I’m ready to get back to being the playful, affectionate guy I am.I don’t think of it as a limitation—it’s just part of my routine. And honestly, it’s a small trade for all the love, loyalty, and joy I’ll bring into your life.Right now, I’m living in a foster home where I’m loved and cared for while I wait for my forever family. If you think that could be you, please fill out an adoption application on our website and call the Front Office to learn more about how to make me a permanent part of your life.I promise, once you meet me, you’ll see what makes me so special. I’m ready when you are.Requirements: Martingale Collar; Megaesophagus (Eats in a special upright chair)All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
🐾 Hey there, I’m Thor! 🐾I may have a big, strong name, but I’m really just a sensitive guy trying to figure out the world around me. Recently, I was adopted but sadly returned because I was very scared in my new home—so scared that I wasn’t even comfortable going outside to use the bathroom. It was all just a little too much, too fast for me.Because of my upbringing, I didn’t get the early socialization I really needed, so new places, sounds, and experiences can feel overwhelming. I’ll need a patient and understanding home that’s willing to go slow and let me adjust at my own pace. I’m not a “jump right in” kind of dog—but with time, consistency, and gentle encouragement, I truly want to do right by my person.At around 7 months old, I’m still very much a puppy and ready to learn. I’ll need help with house training, leash skills, and basic commands, along with lots of confidence-building through positive experiences. Training with me should always be rooted in patience, kindness, and rewards—I respond best to people who take the time to understand me.Despite my fears, I am a gentle, sweet boy with a big heart. Once I feel safe, my loving and affectionate side really starts to shine. I just need someone who’s willing to work through the little speed bumps with me and help me grow into the confident dog I’m meant to be.If you’re someone who believes in going slow, celebrating small wins, and building trust step by step—I just might be your guy. 💛Requirements: Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.
