Story
Phoebe is a sweet and well behaved dog for families. She was a rescue dog from an AZ dog fighting ring in which she was used as a bait dog - so as a result of that, she had dog aggression trauma and has to be an only dog. She is good with people, kids, cats, birds, nature's animals - however, she IS NOT good with other dogs due to her past trauma. Phoebe is perfect with lots of love and attention, but does suffer from separation anxiety if I have to be away from her for too long. She is house broken and does not have accidents in the house, nor does she destroy things. She loves to be loved on and to go on walks or otherwise just to be outside... otherwise she like to sleep alot. She is quiet - definitely is not a barker at all. I am a veteran with complex PTSD and depression, and Phoebe has helped me alot for the past 3 years helping me make it through some pretty tough days. She is not a certified or professionally trained service or emotional support animal, but she helped me.

Story
Stewie was an owner surrender on 10/09/23. He came to us due to family problems and not due to any fault of his own. He is still young, we are guessing right at 1 year old. He has loads of puppy energy still and bounces straight up and down in his kennel when he sees someone coming! He doesn't know a stranger and loves everyone he meets. He has done well with other dogs at the shelter but we would recommend a meet and greet if you have dogs of your own. He is young and could make an older dog grumpy! He has not been cat tested yet.

Blue came to us as a stray and was never claimed. He is a very good boy who seems like he is young but over the puppy energy. He is very calm in his kennel and he does not bark at us. He seems to do well with other dogs. He even knows basic commands and keeps his kennel clean.

Story
Honey was an owner surrender after heath issues caused him to no longer be able to care for her. She is young and energetic but a sweet girl who gets along with the other dogs at the shelter. She has a beautiful spotted coat and would do well with an active family who can give her some training and let her release her puppy energy!

Story
Jack was transferred to us from a partner shelter. He is a very sweet dog who gets along really well with other dogs. He loves attention and being close to his people. He walks well on a leash. He can be a little timid at first but warms up fast. He has not been cat tested yet but we can do that upon request. He would be best fit for a family without small children as they can scare him.
