Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Coco (Coco Bean) is shy gentleman. He is blind in one eye and possibly has limited vision in the other eye. Coco would do best in a home with another dog to help with his confidence. He is a total sweetheart and is still learning to accept love and affection. He wants to be in the same room with his person, and likes to cuddle and sleep on a pilllow. When company visits, he hides but quickly warms if they don’t make any sudden moves. Coco loves to go on walks! In fact, he barks with excitement when he knows it is time to go for a walk. He likes to walk in quieter areas because noises can make him nervous. With love and patience, Coco will develop a deep bond with a person and give them unconditional love. Won't you give this sweet boy a home? #AdoptDontShop #SeniorDogsRule#BeagleLove #Fosteringsaveslives Adopters age 65 and over who adopt senior dogs (age 8 and older) pay a special adoption fee of $100.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 31, 2026, 3:16 pm

Mack III

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Mack — a sweet 10-year-old gentleman with a calm soul and the softest, most easygoing personality. He strolls through life at his own relaxed pace, walks beautifully on leash, and politely waits instead of rushing through doors. Mack is wonderfully gentle and respectful of the world around him. He’s been great around bunnies and goats, showing no barking or chasing — just quiet curiosity. He also does well with other dogs, though he prefers slow, respectful introductions. If another dog comes on too strong too quickly, Mack will let them know he needs a little space. This handsome senior is a slow and polite eater, rides nicely in the car, and absolutely loves relaxing on a cozy dog bed. He’s still working on potty training and has already made great progress. With patience, consistency, and love, Mack will continue to thrive. Mack is looking for a peaceful forever home where he can enjoy the simple things in life — soft beds, gentle walks, kind people, and lots of love. Adopters age 65 and over who adopt senior dogs (age 8 and older) pay a special adoption fee of $100.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 31, 2026, 3:16 pm

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Buddy — a shy, sweet 7-year-old gentleman who’s learning that life can finally be safe and predictable. After a rough start, he’s slowly gaining confidence, working toward a healthy weight, and looking better every day. Buddy thrives on routine and does best with a calm, structured schedule. Meals, walks, and park time happen consistently each day, and that predictability helps him feel secure and succeed. He’s currently working on house training and making progress every day. Since he recently finished medication, his foster family is still figuring out whether his accidents were medication-related or simply because he was never properly taught. While foster mom is at work, Buddy stays in a safe, roomy area with blankets and training pads so he can stay comfortable and stress-free. Buddy also needs continued support with resource guarding around other dogs, but the good news is — he’s great with cats! More than anything, Buddy needs a patient, understanding person who will give him grace while he learns what stability, kindness, and love truly feel like. If you’re willing to give him that chance, Buddy just might become your very best friend.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 31, 2026, 3:16 pm
