Story
Meet Rocky! Don't worry, he's as smooth as they come! His coat is so super soft, and he is extremely affectionate. He may be a little quieter when he first meets you, but once he realizes you're his friend, this guy is all about the action! He loves to play with toys, give hugs, and learn tricks in exchange for treats. Plus, his previous owner said he is friendly with all creatures: dogs, cats, kids, it doesn't matter! He is ready to find that perfect family to squeeze his way into, and hopes it will be you!

Story
Hi, I'm Butterscotch! I'm almost one years old, but I've been through more than enough for any one dog. I was found as a stray, but whatever happened in my past has left me timid and defensive. I need someone that will be patient, understanding, and respectful of me. I promise, once I'm feeling safe, I will be silly and so playful! I love snuggles and playing outside, but maybe just with adults. Kids are a bit too unpredictable for me! I know I have some extra requirements, but if you're looking for someone special, that's me!

Story
Meet Ginger! A 10-year-old Husky/Australian Shepherd mix, Ginger. She’s a gentle soul who I’m hoping to find a quiet, calm home to spend her golden years. If you feel like you could provide the patience, and companionship she deserves, please reach out! What you need to know about Ginger: -She’s up to date on all vaccinations and ready to go home with you. -Ginger has bladder incontinence, which is managed with a daily pill. -She would do best as the only dog in the home, as she prefers her own space. She can be around other dogs but it takes her a while to warm up. -While she tolerates children, she’s not the biggest fan of the noise and activity that come with them, so an adult-only or older-teen household would be ideal. Thank you!

Story
Hi everyone, I'm Lulu! I used to be an outside dog, but the shelter staff say that those days are officially over. I may be a little shy at first, but if you just give me a few minutes, I can be the sweetest girl in the world! I love to play with toys and other dogs, but watch out for my tail: it's huge and shows off how excited I'm feeling! I also looooove to have a little snack or a snuggle on the couch. I'm also working on being the best girl, and even potty trained! Staff say I just need someone to show me the ropes of this "being a dog" stuff. If you think that's you, please come and see me!

Story
Snoop was an owner surrender and we can tell he's feeling a bit lost and confused. He takes great comfort in playing and being with humans, is potty trained, and despite being middle aged, he's quick on his feet! He can usually be found running around with a toy in his mouth. Snoop is smart, sweet, and would love to meet you!
