Story
Meet Bailey!This handsome, sensitive guy has been through a few big transitions and is looking for a patient, dog-savvy home ready to help him settle in at his own pace. While he did well in his familiar bubble — including daily playtime with a neighbor’s dog — Bailey has shown us that new people and new places can feel overwhelming at first. He’s a slow burn who needs time, structure, and understanding as he adjusts.Bailey is a total foodie, which makes him a fun and eager training partner! He already knows cues like sit, paw, and down, and he loves a good game of catch. Once he’s comfortable, his playful and engaging personality really shines.Bailey’s first few weeks at home should be calm and predictable, with a small social circle and plenty of space to decompress. He’s looking for adopters who can read his body language, respect his need for space, and use positive reinforcement to help him build confidence. He would do best as an only dog while he settles in, though a dog-savvy cat may be possible with slow introductions.If you have patience, a sense of humor, and enjoy training and enrichment, Bailey could be an incredibly rewarding companion. Come chat with our team to see if he might be the right fit for you!

Story
Meet Alia! This striking lil’ lady is both a great leash-walking and office buddy. She can be worried when meeting new people, so would like her social circle to be kept small as she’s adjusting to a new home. Once she`s warmed up, Alia has shown herself to be a loving and loyal companion. Alia is sensitive when it comes to veterinary visits and close handling (she says no thank you to being picked up without asking her first, please!), so she’ll need a gentle, patient hand and an owner that can be an advocate for her. Alia could potentially go to a home with older children that can follow her management plan and practice petting consent.In her previous home, Alia was able to regularly share space with another dog, but she generally prefers not to stop and say hi to dogs on leash. It’s possible she may be able to go home with a well-matched dog with a slow intro, but she may also prefer to be an only pup. She has no history living with cats, so full separation and a slow intro will be the best way to help her be successful!Alia may start off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot to settle in, and you’ll see her personality shine!

Story
* My adoption fee will be waived February 13-15 * Indigo is currently in foster care &#8211: if you are interested in meeting Indigo please fill out this inquiry form and a member of our foster team will be in touch to coordinate a meet up! Meet Indigo, a sweet, slightly shy senior pittie who enjoys naps, calm companionship, and being close to her people. She&#8217:s an easygoing, affectionate dog who would do best in a quiet, low-key home. Indigo has a few manageable medical needs and will need a future knee surgery, but she&#8217:s otherwise a gentle, content companion. She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and is looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions. If you&#8217:re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who&#8217:s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

Story
Meet Chucky! He`s a smart, active, silly guy who loves training and sniffy walks. Chucky is a foodie, and will happily settle down with a long-lasting chew after a nice walk or game of fetch. He walks great on leash with a harness, and enjoys zooming around our yards with his dog or human friends. Chucky has had mixed experiences with other dogs, and generally does well during supervised play but should ideally be the only dog in the home. If you`re excited about positive reinforcement training, have a good sense of humor, and don`t mind a bark that sounds *exactly* like a seal, Chucky could be the dog for you!

Story
* My adoption fee will be waived Feb 13-15 * Tyson is a very good 4 year old boy who came to us with a wound of unknown origin, so the poor kid has been in quarantine for 4 months! But now he is free! And ready to find his people. This good looking dog came from an overcrowded home environment with many dogs and we have limited history on him. What we have learned in these 4 months is that he is verrrrry smart, loves to train, and also loves to chill out and relax. He loves his friends, is a great walking buddy with beautiful manners and enjoys social walks with his dog friends. And he just melts with butt scratches. Because of his atypical background, Tyson will likely need a patient family who can support him as he decompresses into his new home. Tyson deserves a wonderful forever home. Does he sound like your forever dog?
