Story
Penny is a sweet, smart, high energy girl who absolutely loves people! She is the kind of pup who wants to be right in the middle of whatever you are doing and is always ready for her next adventure.One of Pennys best qualities is how quickly she settles into her kennel. She does very well with kennel training, settles down nicely, and even sleeps through the entire night without any accidents! She is also potty trained and doing great with her routine, making her transition into her forever home that much easier.Penny is incredibly smart and would thrive with a family who enjoys keeping her busy, whether that is walks, playtime, training, or enrichment activities. She has plenty of typical puppy energy, so an active home would be a great fit for her.Like many young puppies, Penny is still learning her manners and can be very mouthy when she gets excited or wants to play. Her mouthing is playful, typical puppy behavior and is not aggression. She loves to play and interact with people, including children, and does well with kids. She will just need a family who understands that puppies explore the world with their mouths and is willing to continue helping her learn appropriate ways to play.Penny is eager to learn, very food motivated, and already showing how smart she is. With continued training, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement, she is going to make an amazing companion!If you are looking for a fun, affectionate, intelligent pup with a big personality and lots of love to give, Penny might just be your girl!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Toby is a special boy looking for a forever person. He's 5 years old and 65 lbs, fully house/crate trained, loves walks and going on car rides. He was owned by an older couple who unfortunately had to go to assisted living so they surrendered him. He lived with an older husky in his previous home but doesn't love most other animals in his space. He does well meeting new people one on one and when he trusts you he will be the best protector and loves to give kisses. He would do best with someone who has a calmer lifestyle and wants a buddy to follow them around and watch out for them. Toby's adoption fee was graciously sponsored by a Century Way products fundraiser, so he's looking for the right fit for forever. He's had a couple different homes now so would love to have a true forever place of his own! If interested in meeting this dude, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org!

Story
Jax is a handsome 85lb 11 year old lab mix guy looking for a retirement home. His previous owners had to move and couldn't take him with them, so he's ready for forever. He is house/crate trained and *loves* exploring the yard and barking at squirrels. He's been fine with easy-going dogs who don't take over his personal space and would be fine as the king of his castle as well. He is always down for a walk or car ride and just wants to be part of a family of his own. His adoption fee has been sponsored by one of our wonderful volunteers - if interested in meeting this senior lovebug, apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org!

Story
Meet Forrest! 🐾At just 2 years old, Forrest is a handsome German Shepherd with a heart of gold and enough energy to keep you smiling every day. If you’re looking for a hiking buddy, adventure partner, or a dog who Is always ready to play, Forrest is your guy!He absolutely loves other dogs and would happily spend his day wrestling with canine friends or carrying his favorite toy around the yard. He is a busy boy through and through, do not expect him to be the kind of dog who spends all afternoon snoozing on the couch. Forrest thrives when he has a job to do, room to explore, and an active family to keep up with.Forrest can make a big first impression. When meeting new people, he tends to bark loudly and rush at them, which can be intimidating if you don’t know him. The truth is no one ever taught him how to politely greet strangers. Once he has been given the chance to say hello and gets a few pets, his tough guy act disappears, and he is all about making new friends.Forrest has already been through four homes at his young age. He is never had the consistency he deserves. What he really needs is someone willing to give him structure, patience, and the time to let him settle in. In return, you will gain an incredibly loyal companion.He has done wonderfully with leash training and already knows several commands including sit, down, come (here), and heel. He also has some adorable signature moves. He loves to offer his paw and give hugs! He is kennel trained and settles in well, though if he has not had enough physical and mental exercise, he will definitely let you know he is ready to get back to having fun.Forrest would do best with an active family that understands the needs of a young German Shepherd and is excited to continue building his confidence and skills. Give this sweet boy the chance he’s been waiting for, and he’ll reward you with endless loyalty, love, and unforgettable adventures.
