Story
Meet Scout 🐾💙 Scout is a handsome, incredibly smart boy who’s been searching for his forever home for two years—and through it all, he hasn’t given up hope… and neither have we. This treat-motivated superstar loves learning new things and truly shines when he has a job to do. Whether it’s long walks, agility courses, sniff work, or car rides, Scout is always ready for his next adventure. And after a day of fun? He’s more than happy to curl up on a cozy bed for a well-earned nap. Scout is a very sweet dog who enjoys playing with other dogs outside of the home. However, when it comes to his castle, he prefers to have it all to himself and would do best as the only pet. He’s also looking for a home without children under 16, so he can feel safe, comfortable, and set up for success. Scout will need multiple meet-and-greets to ensure a smooth transition into his new home. He is currently on anxiety medication, which he will need to continue, and he truly thrives with patient, understanding adopters who are willing to support his needs and cheer him on. In return, Scout will give you unwavering loyalty, companionship, and a lifetime of love. He’s waited so long for someone to see just how special he is—could that someone be you? - Almost 6 years old - Currently just under 75lbs - Good with dogs outside the home since he prefers his things to stay HIS - Can do doggy playdates outside the home - No cats in the home - Prefers kids 16+ - Adoption fee: $175 *sponsored* This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
Splash is a well trained dog, very loyal and submissive, although he definitely likes to make his voice heard! You'll always know if someone is walking up to your house. He's quite submissive and not very playful with other dogs, but he has no problem tolerating them as long as they are not in his face. He's also not the biggest fan of loud children. He definitely has a bit of anxiety, not sure where it stems from but thankfully it doesn't affect his demeanor too much, he's just a little more antsy sometimes. He also takes his time getting used to new people. This dog needs a household that can keep up with an energetic lifestyle. He loves to chase a ball which makes him quite easy to keep exercised. He isn't leash trained but has been proven to be able to in the past, thankfully he's not heavy enough to take you off your feet and can most certainly be trained again. Cooling off in a kiddie pool is one of his absolute favorite things to do in the summer.

Meet your future best friend, Mai Tai 🐾✨ This puppy is a perfect bundle of energy, curiosity, and irresistible cuteness—but like all puppies, Mai Tai is still learning how to be the best dog possible. Continued basic training will be needed, including leash skills, crate training, potty training, and everyday manners. With a growing body and a busy brain, puppies need structure, enrichment, and positive outlets for energy to prevent overstimulation, mouthiness, or the development of unwanted habits. A home committed to consistency, patience, and mental and physical exercise will help Mai Tai grow into a confident, well-balanced adult dog. With the right foundation, the possibilities are endless! 💛🐶 -Around 3 months old -Currently under 15lbs -Good with bigger dogs -Good with kids 8+ -Adoption fee: $400 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.
