Story
Meet Dolly! Dolly is a lovable 2 and a half-year-old Shepherd/Mountain Cur mix with a heart full of energy and affection. We’ve had her since she was just 10 weeks old, and she has grown into a smart, spirited, and sometimes delightfully bossy girl who knows what she wants—usually belly rubs or a good run! Dolly thrives with structure, activity, and engagement. She would be happiest in a home that can match her energy and give her plenty of time to play, explore, and learn. Because she’s an active and enthusiastic dog, she’d do best with older kids who can keep up with her. She’s incredibly loyal, loves attention, and enjoys being part of the action. Unfortunately, our family’s allergies have increased, and with heavy hearts we’re looking for a new home where she can continue to flourish. Dolly will make a wonderful companion for someone who wants an energetic, intelligent, and affectionate dog.

Story
Magdalena is an 8 month old terrier mix who came from Alabama to find a new home. She has a big personality in a small frame and loves women, cuddling, car rides, and playing with her toys. She’s affectionate, lively, and happiest when she’s part of the action or curled up close to her person. Magdalena is fearful of men and will bark or growl when unsure, so she’s looking for a home without men or with a very patient and understanding man willing to take things slowly. Any men in the household must meet her at the shelter. She also guards treats from people and toys from other dogs, so she should live with kids 12+ who respect her boundaries. She can have dog friends, but any canine housemate will need to be respectful when she has a toy. Ready to Adopt?

Story
Are you looking for a very sweet bouncy girl? Dakota seems to love everyone she meets and is a bit demanding of attention. She is a great mix of playful activeness and a snuggly large lap dog. Dakota would love an active home where she can go hiking and maybe swimming in the summer. She does not have much experience with kids except newborns so we will need to see how she does with any kids in the home. She seems to like other dogs as far as we can tell. Ready to Adopt?

Story
Mia is a tiny, loving pup who’s been hanging out in foster care while recovering from surgery to remove bladder stones—and she’s doing great! Because of her medical history, Mia will need to stay on a lifetime prescription urinary diet to help keep her healthy and feeling her best. We also require a vet reference for her adoption, just to make sure she continues getting the care and food she needs. In foster, Mia has shown what a total cuddle bug she is. Her foster mom says she’s pee pad trained, crate trained at night, and happiest when she’s glued to her person’s side. Seriously—if you’re looking for a little shadow who will follow you from room to room and keep you company all day, Mia is your girl. Her activity level is pretty low; she’s perfectly content to lounging around, napping, and soaking up affection most of the day. Mia can be a bit barky and nervous when meeting new people, but don’t let that fool you—she warms up quickly. Mia prefers to be the only dog in the home and this way she can be a single spoiled child. If you’re looking for a calm, cuddly, devoted little companion who just wants to be near her person and live the cozy life, Mia might be your perfect match Ready to Adopt?
