Shelby is 6 years old. 19 lbs. Very very sweet and playful. She is a bit of a digger and does jump but overall listens well and is good on a leash. We will be very sad to see her go but we think a family where she could gets lots of attention and cuddles would give her the best life.

Story
Pepper Sadie is a SMART, beautiful girl who has never quite felt like she `fit in` anywhere. She was adopted from us originally, but that home brought her back because she wasn`t the right fit for their family. She is a smart, eager to please dog who is VERY athletic. In true heeler form, this girl needs an outlet for her abundance of energy or she might get a bit mouthy. She will thrive with someone who enjoys training, enrichment and will give her a job to do. Pepper Sadie is housebroken and well behaved inside but needs some structure to her routine. She would do best in a home with older children or adults only and would prefer one with no feline friends. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy who will hang on your every word and just wants to make you happy, you found her! Make Pepper Sadie a part of your family today!

Story
I’ve lived on a chain my whole life, and I’m skinny and need some good meals and care to help me gain weight. Life hasn’t been very kind to me so far, and because of that I can be a little shy at first.Once I feel safe, you’ll see that I’m a very sweet boy with so much love to give. I’ve been through a lot in my short life, and I don’t want to go through any more hardship. What I want now is simple: a long, happy life filled with patience, gentle words, smiles, and treats forever and ever.All I need is someone willing to give me time, love, and a chance to finally know what it feels like to be part of a family. I promise, once you earn my trust, my heart is yours. ????

Story
Meet Fern!!Fern is a senior Beagle gal who was found as a stray right in the midst of a winter storm. To keep her safe, warm, and cared for, she was brought into our shelter—and we’re so glad she was. Now, this sweet old soul is ready for the next chapter of her life.Fern is a VERY easy-going girl who does wonderfully with other dogs and walks beautifully on a leash. She has a calm, gentle nature and truly embodies the laid-back charm Beagles are known for. Fern doesn’t ask for much—just comfort, kindness, and a warm place to rest.This lovely lady would be perfectly happy spending her golden years napping on a cozy couch or curled up in a big, comfy dog bed, soaking up love from her people. We would love nothing more than to see Fern find a peaceful, loving home where she can enjoy the rest she so deeply deserves
