Aubrey is a sweet, playful girl who loves to play ball and run around, making her a great match for an active home. She’s especially motivated by treats and enjoys any opportunity for a tasty reward.

Spike came to us as a stray, patiently waiting and hoping his family would come back for him. While he waited, he showed everyone here just how loving and loyal he truly is — and now he’s ready to start a brand-new chapter with a family of his own. 🐾 Spike is full of playful energy and loves to zoom around to burn off some excitement. He may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality shines through. He absolutely loves attention, especially tummy rubs, and enjoys being close to the people he trusts. Because of his strength and enthusiastic spirit, Spike would do best in a calm, adult-only home where he can have consistency, structure, and plenty of opportunities to play and bond. With the right person by his side, he’ll make a devoted, fun-loving companion. Spike’s adoption fee includes his vaccines, neuter, and microchip — he’s ready to head home and start his fresh beginning. If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate dog who will reward your patience with endless loyalty and love, come meet Spike today. He’s ready to find the adult home where he truly belongs. ❤️🐕

Story
Meet Stella! This bright, outgoing girl has so much love and talent to offer. She’s incredibly sweet, fully housetrained, and impressively smart — she knows more than basic commands and can even walk confidently on a treadmill! Stella loves enrichment activities and would make a fantastic working dog or adventure companion for someone who enjoys keeping a clever pup engaged. Stella gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having friends, though any home with an existing pet will need slow introductions and a few meet-and-greets to make sure everyone is a good match. Once Stella knows her people, she becomes deeply loyal and protective, so she’ll thrive best in a home with someone who understands and appreciates her guardian nature. Playful and energetic, she’s always ready for walks, training sessions, and mental challenges. With the right structure and guidance, Stella will blossom into an incredible partner who gives her whole heart to her person. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and additional treatments. If you’re looking for a smart, devoted dog who’s eager to learn and bond deeply, Stella might be the perfect fit — come meet her and see what a special girl she is!
