Harley is such a sweetheart! She has such good manners and ADORES people! She is always ready to make new friends and is so eager to say hello to her two legged friends.

Story
Rocko was returned to the shelter due to the health of his owner. His owner was very sad to give this good boy up. Rocko had a small dog friend that he loved to play with, but he may be nervous around bigger dogs. Unfortunately, the kennels stress Rocko out more than the average dog. So we are hoping that he doesn't have to stay here very long. He loves to run and play with toys. He likes to chase a ball and play keep away. Rocko is pretty well mannered, a good listener who likes to stay by your side. Come meet Rocko and get this boy out of the shelter.

Story
Meet Nola! You may recognize her from the popular posts about her running all around the county. She was a tricky, smart girl. But as soon as we caught her, she revealed her true silly nature. She is a very loving dog who has pretty good manners. She likes toys and treats. Nola is pretty low maintenance. She likes to be around people, but also doesn't mind spending time alone. Nola is selective about other dogs, so will need to meet any potential housemates.

Story
Nala makes friends wherever she goes. She loves to meet people and doggies and is very sweet and generous with her loving and affection. Nala loves to play and when she's done with playtime is ready for cuddles and kisses. Nala is a little puppy tornado right now, so will need a bit of training to help her learn some manners. She has been such a sweetheart while here at the shelter but would be much happier in a home.

Dutch is a very chill fella, this handsome guy loves going on walks, playing in the yard, and exploring new places. He loves his squeaky toys and will quickly fetch them when they are thrown. Dutch is very smart, and loves learning new tricks, he will show off for a treat! He enjoys ear scratches and cuddles from his favorite humans. And would never pass up an opportunity for attention.
