Story
Atlas is an active, fun-loving guy who is always ready for his next adventure. He loves to run, play, and spend time outdoors, making him an excellent companion for someone with an active lifestyle. One of his favorite things in the world is a good game of fetch, and he'll happily chase a ball for as long as you'll throw it. Atlas is a dog-selective pup who would do best with careful introductions to other dogs. He is not a fan of cats and should have a cat-free home. Atlas also needs a home without livestock. This handsome boy is looking for a family that can provide him with plenty of exercise, structure, and opportunities to burn off his energy. In return, he'll reward you with loyalty, companionship, and lots of fun. Atlas is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. He is ready to find an active forever home of his own.

Story
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. Aubrey can be a little shy at first, so she’ll need to meet new people multiple times to feel comfortable, but once she warms up, her loving personality really shines. She is heartworm tested, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and ready to find a patient, caring family to call her own. 🐾

Story
Meet Molly! Molly is a 2-year-old black Lab mix with a big personality, plenty of energy, and a serious love for water! Whether it’s splashing in her water bowl, playing in a puddle, or lounging in a kiddie pool on a sunny day, Molly is happiest when she can make a splash. This playful girl could spend all day chasing a ball, tugging on a rope toy, or squeaking her favorite toy. She will thrive in an active home that can provide her with regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of opportunities for adventure. Molly is still learning some of the basics, but she is very smart, eager to please, and walks well on a leash. With consistency and positive reinforcement, we believe she will continue to learn quickly. Molly previously lived with a small male dog, and we are hopeful she may do well with another canine companion who is a good match for her personality and play style. A meet and greet with any resident dogs will be required before adoption.

Story
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
Bonita came to us under unfortunate circumstances, but she hasn’t let that dim her spirit. She’s a high-energy girl who absolutely loves to run and would thrive in a home where she can stay active and engaged. Bonita can be wary of new people at first, but with time, patience, and kindness, she warms up and becomes a loyal, loving companion. Once she trusts you, she’s all in — affectionate, playful, and eager to be by your side. Bonita is dog-selective and may do well with the right canine companion, but she’ll need slow introductions and an experienced adopter who understands her boundaries. She’s looking for someone committed to giving her the structure, space, and love she deserves. Bonita is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. She’s ready to find her person and start her next chapter in a home where she can truly shine.
