Story
Midas is a bright, energetic pup with a fun personality and a sharp mind. He`s not your typical snuggle-bug, but he shows his affection in his own special ways-lighting up when he sees his people, playing endless games of fetch with his toys, and always being ready to join for an outdoor outing where he can explore and stay on the move.Highly food-motivated and eager to learn, Midas thrives with training and enrichment. He`s always ready to show off his skills, like sitting and shaking on command—or will happily learn something new. If you love working with a dog who’s as brainy as he is active, Midas will keep you on your toes in the best way.Midas is looking to be the only pet in the home for now, and he`ll do best with teens and adults who understand the importance of boundaries and structure. He connects deeply with people who take the time to get to know him and will flourish with someone who’s ready to invest in a truly rewarding bond.If you are ready to start out on a great new adventure- we may just have the right fit here for you!

Story
Penny has been a part of our family since she was a puppy. She’s always had a strong personality - acting like she was human. Likes to snuggle on the couch and be the princess. She sleeps with us on bed, often under the covers. When we had our kids Penny always seemed to feel her position threatened. She has taken years to warm up to them and still doesn’t really let them pet her. Penny is trained - knows to go outside but because of the family dynamic she often has accidents inside. It’s becoming too much for us to handle. Penny for years has struggled with skin allergies - always has a rash. It’s been challenging to control over the years. She gets antibiotics and steroids occasionally to quiet the rash. I think Penny could use a family that has the time and attention to dedicate to her. She would love to be someone’s princess again.

Story
Moose is a handsome, energetic boy looking for a loving, stable family to call his own. He’s an active guy who will make a fantastic adventure buddy for someone who enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping busy. Moose will benefit from regular exercise, continued training, and lots of positive encouragement.Because we don’t have much background on him, we’re using our best judgment with how he may do around cats, dogs, and children. Any other canines in the home will need to meet Moose in the shelter setting for a “dog to dog” introduction. Moose will need some time and patience to adjust to new surroundings, but once he bonds with you, you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Ask about Moose today!
