Story
Meet Red Robin!She came into our care as a stray, so we do not have information about her life prior to coming here. What we have observed so far is that she is a playful and affectionate girl once her needs are met! She loves tennis balls and basking in the sun in our play yards!She is still learning general dog things, like where to go to the bathroom, and how to walk on a leash and collar. She is looking for patient adopters who will continue her training and prove the gentle guidance to thrive. Red Robin`s appraoch to interacting with other dogs was pushy and intense, so may prefer to be the only dog in the home to start. As you get to know her more and learn her preferences, she may be able to have managed dog friends in the future. Any potential dog siblings should meet her at the shelter prior to going home.

Meet Otto! His favorite things are fetch, people, and treats! Otto is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy! Otto 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. Otto prefers the company of human friends to canine friends and wants to be your only dog, and ideally not live in an area where he will see or hear dogs when out and about. Otto is an eager learner is looking for a patient owner to help them master polite greetings, leash skills, and doggy basics—training together will be a fun and rewarding journey!
