Story
Apollo is a 5 year old mix. He loves everyone and everything! He needs a lot of space, attention, and time. Apollo would do perfectly in a family home that are active and/or has the space. He loves balls, wheels, and fluffy blankets to sleep on. He also knows Friday is pizza night and waits for his slice every week!

Story
Meet Kaiser — One of a Kind and Looking for His People Kaiser is a bully mix who came to us a little over a year ago when his family`s housing situation changed and they could no longer maintain his care. When he first arrived, Kaiser was a sensitive, uncertain dog who took his time deciding who he could trust. Over the past year, we`ve had the privilege of watching him grow, and the transformation has been incredible. Kaiser has a personality all his own—he`s thoughtful, expressive, and approaches relationships on his terms. In recent months, he has started making new friends—both human and canine—and continues to show us just how much potential he has when given patience and understanding.Kaiser is looking for a home that appreciates his unique personality and understands that meaningful relationships take time to build. He thrives with people who respect his boundaries, allow him space when he needs it, and celebrate the small victories along the way. One of Kaiser`s proudest accomplishments has been becoming one of our helper dogs during playgroups, where he now helps other dogs learn appropriate social skills and build confidence. It`s a role that speaks volumes about how far he has come. To help set him up for success, Kaiser`s adoption includes four training sessions with our behaviorist as well as a $250 training credit with one of our recommended trainers. Kaiser isn`t looking for just any home—he`s looking for people who will embrace him for exactly who he is and continue helping him grow. In return, they`ll gain a loyal, intelligent companion whose trust is truly something special. Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet`s behavior in your home.

Hatter came to us as a puppy and has grown to be a very loyal but strong dog. He does not get along with one of our older dogs. He is also too big and strong for me to handle. My health is not great, and I cannot handle him.

Story
Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!
