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.

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!

Story
Meet Bori—a 9-year-old Pit Bull with a young heart, a sweet soul, and a love for adventure! He’s been with us for 7 months now, watching his two former canine housemates find their forever homes… and now it’s his turn. Don’t let his age fool you—Bori has plenty of energy and is always up for fun. He’s a pool-loving, tail-wagging, treat-chasing explorer who also knows how to turn on the charm and melt into your side for cuddles. He’s done well living with other dogs before and would love to meet any potential dog siblings with a proper introduction. Bori is part of our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which means he’s been learning new skills to help him thrive in a home—and he comes with three free training sessions with Kind K9s after adoption to help him settle in. After 7 months of waiting, and watching his friends go home one by one, Bori is still here. Still sweet. Still hopeful. Still ready to be someone’s best friend. Let’s make sure his wait ends soon. Could that someone be you?

Story
Say hello to Bently - a 1-year-old Pit Bull mix. This sweet, sensitive boy is on the quiet side and takes time to warm up, but once he starts to trust, you’ll see just how special he really is. Bently is looking for a kind, patient adopter who can help him build confidence and gently guide him. He’s enrolled in our Paws Forward Program, which means his adoption includes three free training sessions with our amazing trainer, Janette from Kind K9s. These sessions will help set Bently (and his adopter!) up for success as he continues to come out of his shell. With time, love, and positive reinforcement, Bently has the potential to truly blossom. He just needs someone who believes in him and is ready to help him write his next chapter. Come meet Bently and see what a little patience and a lot of love can do. 💛🐶

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hoss is a stunning 4-year-old Great Dane who tips the scale at over 120 lbs of pure strength and presence. He came to us as a stray, and while his past is a mystery, his future could be brighter than ever with the right adopter. Hoss needs a patient, dog-savvy, and breed-experienced home that understands the needs of a giant breed. He has shown to want to be the only dog in the home so he can soak up all of the attention. He will thrive with someone committed to continuing his obedience training and giving him structure. Because of his size and strength, Hoss will require an adult only home. Underneath it all, Hoss is a wonderful dog who just needs the right person to bring out his best. If you’ve got the experience, love, and dedication to welcome a gentle giant into your life, Hoss is waiting to meet you.

Story
This is Jack. He is a 5 year old pittie boy that has spent over two years waiting for the right person to come through our doors. Jack is a stunning, smart, and incredibly loyal boy who has been with us for 847 days— and while we’ve grown to love him deeply, he deserves so much more. He deserves a home. Jack is looking for a very special adopter: someone with experience, patience, and a deep understanding of dogs. He must be the only pet in the home, and he’ll need a home without children. But if you’re his person? You’ll get a devoted companion, a playful goofball, and a walking buddy for life. He adores his walks and proudly shows off his stuffies during play time. He’s working hard in our Pawsitive Pawgress Program, which includes three free training sessions after adoption with KindK9s to help support a successful transition into your home. We do ask that if you are interested in Jack, you come in a few times to get to know him. He is a part of our Foster-to-adopt program as well! Jack has waited so long for his chance. Please help us find him the person he’s been waiting over two years for. Maybe it’s you. Maybe it’s someone you know. But let’s not let him wait too much longer. 🖤
