Story
Ben & Jerry here to be your sweet treat dessert!Just like the ice cream, you can never have too much of these boys either. Ben and Jerry came in as strays together. Both are estimated to be 11 months old, are similar looking, and same size - so although there is no proof, we believe that they are brothers. With that being said, they do not need to be adopted together. Ben and Jerry would be plenty happy separated as long as they know their brother also has a safe and happy home.They do well with each other and other dogs from what we have seen so far. We have not yet tested them with cats, but if an interested application had cats we certainly will check that before sending them home. These boy are both between 55 and 60 pounds. They are more of a high energy dog, so they certainly would like a dog or human who wants to play with them. Don't let the high energy scare you, it just means there is more fun to be had!

Story
You Are My Sunshine... and she'll be yours, too!Meet Sunshine, a bright, beautiful little ray of joy. She's a 1‑year‑old terrier mix weighing 25 pounds, and she came to us as a surrender alongside her two siblings. Their previous owner's health was declining, and when it became clear they could no longer be cared for properly, the family made the loving decision to bring them in so they could find the homes they deserve.Sunshine and her siblings are absolute sweethearts. Their affection comes from a place of longing-they simply haven't had much exposure to the world. They spent most of their young lives inside, crated for long stretches, so everything outside that routine is still new to them.Despite their limited socialization, these pups are wonderfully gentle. Sunshine does well with other dogs and doesn't seem bothered by cats. More than anything, she's eager to bond with a family who will show her what love, adventure, and security really feel like.

Story
** Peaches is in a Foster Home. Please submit an application in order to meet her. **Meet Peaches!   Peaches is a zoomies loving, puzzle winning, tug of war aficionado, and that's just scratching the surface with her. Here's a few things you should know about her:•knows the "place" command and is improving and expanding on it with practice•loves to run•crate trained and quiet as a mouse in it•knows the "heel" command and is working on holding it with distractions•loves an adventure•sits at doorways•lovesss toys   These are just a few things that make Peaches the beautiful girl she is. The best way to get to know her is to come see for yourself all she has to offer!   Peaches does show some reactivity towards other dogs, mostly smaller ones, as well as small animals. She is improving with redirection training and we think she may be okay in a home with other animals with a family that can continue her training and keep interactions supervised! As always, meet and greets between dogs are required!   While we love having her here, she deserves a couch of her own. If a dog who loves hard, plays hard, and sleeps hard sounds like the right fit for you, apply and set up a time to meet her, she may just be your next greatest choice!

Story
Meet Jitterbug! Jitterbug is a young dog who is eager to learn and even more eager to love. She is all fun, all the time. With the structure and consistency a home of her own could give her, she would thrive! Jitterbug knows her basic commands and is working on her leash walking. She loves toys and to run outside in the play yards. She is a high energy girl, and would love a home that can give her the outlets she needs. Jitterbug is also incredibly smart, and is a good listener. A home that can continue her training and work her brain will turn her into the best girl she can be! Jitterbug does not react well to cats, and would do best in a feline-free home. While she shows some dog reactivity, we think she could live with a dog that matches her energy. If she sounds like the right fit for you, fill out an application and come meet her right at the shelter! She would love to meet you!

Story
Gobble Gobble Gobble Thanksgiving is here and I am the main attraction!Hi I'm Gobbles! They said I was a silly boy so I needed a silly name. I am a one year old, pitty mix, who is currently 43 pounds. Which makes me the perfect medium size dog for any family. Speaking of family, we don't know about my past family, because I came in as a stray. However, I currently like dogs, cats, kids, and all humans! So I would be happy to join any family!I know Thanksgiving is soon, so I might not be able to be your Turkey-pal but the other holidays are right around the corner and I was told you can have some Gobbles Turkey any time!Come meet me, I can't wait to meet you!
