Story
Hello! This is a hard one for me. This beautiful boy is Cobain. He has displayed territorial tendencies in the past with new people coming into my home. I’m having a baby soon & I’m worried for Cobain and my child. I want to do what’s best for Cobain. Adoption fee is to ensure he’s not being taken for bad purposes. Cobain needs a home where he can be his energetic self. I will give you his crate/toys/etc. He is good with cats and female dogs, I have not tried male dogs since his neuter but doesn’t seem to react to the male dog who walks past our house. I am having to move from a farm to an apartment & Cobain needs space or someone who can take him for walks/let him run in a contained area. I have spent the last ten years somewhat sheltering Cobain due to his unpredictable behavior & fear of him getting hurt or hurting someone else. I have tried online training but I guess I’m not the best trainer for a dog like Cobain. I’ve given him love though. He needs an understanding owner.

Story
Meet Clyde! 🐶⚡ Clyde is a lovable, high-energy sweetheart who’s just looking for someone to soak up all his love—and he’s got plenty to give! He adores people of all ages, including kids, and is always ready to be the center of attention. Whether it’s belly rubs or full-body snuggles, Clyde is here for it. He’s been struggling a bit in the shelter environment and would thrive in a home that gives him the structure (and cuddles!) he craves. He’ll need some leash work—this boy loves to pull—but with consistent training, he’ll make a fantastic adventure buddy. Clyde did fine during his cat test and could possibly live with a tolerant female dog who won’t mind his lack of canine manners. Like all of our adoptable pets, Clyde is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. If you’re ready for a fun, affectionate, and slightly wild best friend, Clyde’s your guy! 🐾💙

Meet Justice! Justice is a very sweet girl who came from a neglect situation and can be a little shy at first.

Story
Meet Zero! Zero came from a home with 17 other dogs, where he didn’t get much socialization. Since arriving here, he’s been making wonderful progress—his personality is starting to shine as he learns to trust people and enjoy new experiences. At just 9 months old and around 25 pounds, Zero shouldn’t get much bigger. He’s the brother with more brindle in his coat, making him extra handsome. Zero is still getting used to a leash and can take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, you’ll see his sweet nature. He seems interested in other dogs, and with cats, he’d likely be more curious and cautious than anything—he’d do best with one that respects his space. Kids who understand to give him time and patience will also do well with him. Zero does have a hygroma on his front elbow, likely from laying on hard surfaces in his past. It’s been drained twice since he came to us and has returned, so he just started an anti-inflammatory on 9/23 to help manage it. If adopted before we’re able to finish his care, Zero will still need the rest of his DHPP vaccine series.

Story
Meet Titan! Titan is the sweetest boy who loves to play ball, go for walks, and enjoy his favorite treats. He’s very talkative in the most adorable way and can be shy around new people, but he’s a big baby once he’s comfortable. Titan came from a neglect situation and is currently heartworm positive, going through treatment, and in need of a foster to help him during this time. He’s child friendly, cat friendly, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. Titan is not dog friendly and would do best as the only dog in a home. He’s ready to find a loving forever or foster home where he can get the care and attention he deserves.

Story
Meet Uno! Uno is a sweet, shy girl who came from a neglect situation. She’s blind in one eye due to past trauma, but it doesn’t need to be removed and doesn’t slow her down. She’s good on a leash, did great with dog testing, and would need some time and guidance to learn how to interact with other dogs. Uno did not do well with cats and is best suited for a cat-free home. She’s still learning about toys but loves her treats and is ready to find a patient, loving forever home with kids 10 and up who will help her feel safe and confident.
