Story
Meet Bruno! This handsome guy has got a lot of love to give, and is on the hunt for a family to give it to. Bruno came to us as a stray, so we don’t know very much about his past, but in our care he has been a sweet and sensitive gentleman who’s enjoyed making friends at the shelter. He loves snuggles, snacks, and sniffy walks on the trails!Bruno would love to go with adopters who can help him settle in at his own pace and adjust back into the routine of living in a home. If you’re looking for a sweet and sensitive pup to bring excitement and a few snuggles into your life, than Bruno might just be the dog for you!

Story
Meet Desdamona, a smart and active pup looking for her new home. Desdamona is a big foodie, and loves to go on walks to explore the world. She would make a great adventure buddy once she`s had some time to settle in, but she won’t say no to settling down afterwards to take a nap or work on a nice chew stick or frozen kong!Desdamona would make a great dog for someone looking to continue working on her training using positive reinforcement methods—she’s smart and loves food in all it’s forms! While she’s working on her training, Desdamona would like to be your one and only pet, please, and would do best in an adult-only home or with older kids who can follow her management and training plan.Desdamona has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she`ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This handsome fella is Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart of gold. Arthur’s a pretty shy guy, as he was not regularly meeting strangers or other dogs in his previous home. He can be worried and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and a gentle approach to training, he is learning that the world is not so scary. Arthur is looking for an adopter who can help him continue to grow and learn in a calm, low-traffic environment, meaning not a lot of activity, cars, or people coming and going. He will need someone who`s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he`s a great training buddy!). Arthur would prefer to be the only pet in the home right now, but he may be able to have some well-matched dog friends once he’s adjusted to his new home and new routine.

Story
This handsome hunk is Kobe, a sweet older gentleman who is looking for a new home. Kobe loves leisurely strolls so that he can sniff around, and has enjoyed snuggling up for some pets and treats with his favorite people. Kobe would like to be the only dog in the home at this time, please!Kobe was diagnosed with a condition known as uveodermatologic syndrome, which is an auto-immune disorder where the body attacks its own melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells). For Kobe, this has affected his eyes--he had one eye removed and has decreased vision in his remaining eye. Kobe is looking for a patient home where he can settle in at his own pace and learn to navigate his environment with limited vision. He is sure to reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Bella, a sweet beagle pup looking for a home of her own! This kiddo has spent her life predominantly outdoors, and so will need some time and patience to help her adjust to living indoors, including working on her housetraining. Living in a home is going to be a big transition for her, but she is sure to reward your efforts with plenty of tail wags and kisses!Bella has a good history living with another dog, and has enjoyed making new dog friends at the shelter, so she could do well in a home with another dog. We have no history of her interacting with cats, but think she could do ok with a well-matched, dog savvy cat with a slow introduction.If you’re patient, loving, and ready to give this sweet girl the time and care she needs to settle in, she would love to be a part of your home!
