Story
Zeppelin may be large, but he moves gracefully and always wears the biggest smile. With his tail wagging and a joyful expression, he is truly a big happy baby! He adores children and interacts wonderfully with them, regardless of his size. His soft fur makes him an exceptional cuddler! On a leash, he feels as light as a feather and is perfectly content with just a toy and a blanket. He truly embodies the essence of a gentle giant. Fun Fact: Does live rock shows for all his paw-pals and it is rumored that he gave Jimmy Hendricks guitar lessons.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 15, 2025, 9:16 pm

Story
Storm is a cool, calm, and collected pup with a playful, silly side that shines when he’s enjoying his toys. He’s relaxed and well-mannered around other dogs, making him an easy companion. Storm is incredibly sweet, loves to cuddle, and is happiest spending quality time with his people. He has a sister named Winter, and while they get along well, they are not bonded—so Storm can be adopted either together with Winter or separately.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cowboy is a sweet, funny boy with a heart of gold and a calm, easygoing personality. He loves his toys and does great during playtime with other dogs, but he’s also perfectly happy hanging back and watching what’s going on without being in the middle of everything. Super smart and eager to learn, Cowboy picks up new tricks quickly and enjoys showing off his good manners. When playtime is over, he’s all about snuggling on the couch—preferably close enough to sneak a kiss now and then. Nothing seems to faze this chill guy. Outfit changes? No problem. Cowboy is a total gentleman when it comes to dressing up and will sit patiently, looking handsome as ever. Easygoing, affectionate, and full of charm, Cowboy is the kind of dog who fits right in wherever he goes.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 15, 2026, 1:34 pm

Story
Thaddeus is our adorable baby-faced sweetheart! He's full of energy and loves to spin around when he's excited. He enjoys going for walks and behaves well in public spaces. He has a strong affection for people and, of course, his toys! Thaddeus loves to cuddle up in a blanket and give us his irresistible puppy eyes. He gets along well with other dogs and children. While he hasn't had much exposure to cats, we can always arrange for a cat test. Thaddeus was just moments away from being euthanized before we rescued him, and we are so grateful we did. He has moved between foster homes, not due to any fault of his own, but because they were short-term placements. We truly hope to see this wonderful boy find his forever home.
