Story
Meet Baloo!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 — Baloo 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.Baloo 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.Baloo’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, Baloo could be an incredibly rewarding companion. Come chat with our team to see if he might be the right fit for you!

Story
Meet Maggie! This sweet and sensitive soul lived in a bubble in her previous home, meaning she wasn’t meeting a lot of new people or other animals. As a result, new environments and experiences can sometimes be scary! Maggie can be a slow burn while she’s first settling in, but once she’s comfortable, she has a lot of love to give (and likes to stomp her back feet when you pet her!). Maggie enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day for some quality couch time, or to work on her toys. She will likely do best in a lower-traffic home, where she can adjust at her own pace.Maggie lived with a mellow small dog at one point, but doesn’t have a lot of practice meeting new dogs, and has been worried and avoidant when interacting with dogs while in our care. She might be able to go home with a well-matched dog friend with separation to start. She has no history living with cats.Maggie 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!

Story
Meet Kringle! His favorite things are playing with dog friends and when comfortable is a total cuddlebug! He`s a smart boy that loves to work on training! Kringle is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Kringle loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Kringle has shown to be more confident around other dogs! He could progress more quickly with a confident role model dog friend! Kringle may start off a little cautious, but give them time and a cozy spotto settle in, and youll see their sweet and loving 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.
