Story
*Meet Eli: The Comeback King * Eli isn’t just any dog—he’s a survivor with a heart of gold. This 6-year-old gentle soul has been on quite the journey, and he’s ready to share the next (and best!) chapter of his life with a forever family. When Eli first came to us, he tipped the scales at 88 pounds and moved through life with sore, damaged knees. But with love, medical care, and a whole lot of determination, he’s transformed. Today, Eli is a healthy 60 pounds, walking strong after successful TPLO surgeries on both knees. He’s living proof that second chances (and healthy snacks!) make all the difference. Eli’s favorite things are the simple joys—lounging near his people, soaking up sunshine, and keeping a steady routine. He isn’t looking for wild adventures; instead, he thrives in calm, stable environments where he can be someone’s shadow and steady source of comfort. He gets along well with both dogs and cats, but his gentle, easygoing nature means he prefers companions who respect his space. He also manages pannus, a condition that causes some vision loss. With daily eye drops (which he takes like a champ), Eli stays comfortable and happy. Because of his limited vision, a quieter home without young kids is the best match for him. The monthly cost for his eye drops is about $35. When adopted we will send him with several months supply. If you’re searching for a loyal, low-key friend who will curl up beside you and remind you every day of the beauty of resilience, Eli is your guy. After everything he’s been through, he’s ready to settle into the loving, forever home he truly deserves. Eli's adoption fee is $250. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and will come with his eye drops. If you are interested in possibly adopting Eli, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
If you’re looking for a pint-sized powerhouse of brains, speed, and heart — Sprite might just be your dream adventure buddy! Approximately 10 months old and 25 pounds. Sprite is a smol but mighty mix of Border Collie and ACD (confirmed by Embark), and she embodies the best of both worlds: athletic, intelligent, and endlessly curious. At just 8 months old, she’s already fast, agile, and loves to climb, explore, and zoom through life with a big grin. She’s a toy chaser extraordinaire who hasn’t quite mastered fetch or tug yet, but she’s eager to learn — especially if snacks are involved! Sprite is highly food motivated, quick to pick up new skills, and thrives with regular exercise and mental challenges. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and travels like a pro, though she’s still polishing her indoor manners. Sprite has great recall on the trail, loves hiking, and yes — she swims (see video)! She adores people and other dogs, though her play style leans toward the rowdy side. She reads other dogs well, but she’ll need continued guidance for polite greetings and managing her barrier reactivity. Because of her high herding drive and enthusiasm, she’s best suited for homes without young kids or cats (chasing is her favorite sport). Sprite’s ideal home is one that embraces her drive and intelligence — agility, scent work, herding, dock diving… this girl could shine in it all! If you’re ready to channel all that sparkle into fun, adventure, and teamwork, Sprite will be your most loyal (and speedy!) partner. Sprite's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay, vaccines and microchip. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Sprite, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
My name is Bowie and I am an adorable dachshund mix with a little underbite. I am great with other dogs and cats! I am shy at first but it doesn’t take me long to come out of my shell! The only thing im still learning not to be scared of is being picked up— but I’m making lots of progress! I need to go to a home with at least one other doggie friend and probably no really young kids— they scare me 😞

Sweetie here, and my name says it all! I am a gregarious girl who needs an active family to help me get the exercise I need each day. I can find fun in any object or activity. I think it is fun to catch what you throw to me and then play keep away with it! I get along with other dogs with proper introductions. I will need some consistent training to help me be the best I can be. And toys- lots and lots of puzzles and toys to play with!!
