Story
We are looking for a loving home for our Shiba Inu. We have had him since he was a puppy and he has been a wonderful part of the family. Unfortunately, Shibas are a very unique breed and his strong instincts to run and explore the neighborhood have made it challenging for us to give him the safest environment he deserves. He has lived with two cats and another Shiba for 8 years. He also was friends with our pet rabbit for 5 years and never bothered him. Having a secure fence is essential. We will also provide a shock collar...which he abides by. He is very healthy, athletic, and likes to play. He is loyal and calm animal inside. Very friendly with other people.

Butters has just joined us!  He is a 7 year old Great Dane who came to us at no fault of his own.  He loves being by his people and will take all the pets he can get.  He is good with other dogs and can be a little shy and nervous when meeting new people but warms up quickly.  Please follow us on Facebook as we learn more about him. ##2542019##

Story
Della is a 5-year-old Pit Bull/Husky mix with a brain full of brilliance and a heart full of love. She’s been with us for 467 days—that’s 467 days of being a volunteer favorite, 467 days of walking her usual routes, and 467 days of dreaming about the great big world with a human of her own by her side. Della is incredibly smart, deeply affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. Whether it’s a hike through the woods or a car ride to anywhere, she’s all in—as long as it’s with you. But finding the right home for Della has been hard. She needs someone experienced, someone who understands that dogs like her—full of curiosity, loyalty, and energy—need structure and time to settle in. She’ll need a home without other pets or children, but if you give her your heart, she’ll give you hers a thousand times over. She’s currently part of our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which includes three free training sessions with KindK9s after adoption to help ensure she’s set up for success in her new home. If you’re the kind of person who sees a dog like Della and knows her potential—please come meet her. 467 days is too long.

She bounces through life with enthusiasm, always ready for her next adventure whether that’s a game of fetch, a zoomie session in the yard, or learning a new trick (she’s a smart cookie!). But it’s not all playtime with this girl. Dolphin is incredibly sweet and affectionate. After she’s had her fun, she’s more than happy to swim right into your heart and soak up all the love. She adores people and will happily be your shadow, your adventure buddy, and your cuddle companion. If you're looking for a playful spirit who will keep you laughing and living life to the fullest, Dolphin is ready to dive into her forever home. 🌊💙 Can't adopt? Please share!

Story
“You Think I Don't Know Ball?” Meet Emma! At 6 years old, Emma the Pit Bull mix has mastered the art of ball. Fetch? She invented it. Catch? She’s a pro. Tug? Only if you can keep up! With her adorable ears perked and eyes locked in, Emma takes her playtime very seriously - and she wouldn’t have it any other way. But don’t let her athletic skills fool you - Emma’s also a total sweetheart who loves spending time with her favorite people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and will happily snuggle up after she’s proven, once again, that yes… she does know ball. Emma is looking for an experienced adopter who understands her zest for life and can continue her training journey. She’ll need to be the only pet in her home so she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. She’s also part of our Paws Forward Program, which means her adopter will receive 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s to help Emma keep shining both on and off the field. If you’re ready for a loyal teammate, a goofy best friend, and a champion ball player, Emma is ready to play ball… forever. Can't adopt? Please share!
