Story
Meet Bambi! This sweet girl has been through a lot, but you’d never know it from her loving, happy personality. Bambi was found abandoned and came to us severely underweight, but she’s been making an incredible comeback and is so ready for a fresh start with a family who will never let her go again. Bambi is as gentle as they come and has done great meeting both dogs and cats, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet home. She’s playful and enjoys her toys, but she’s just as happy soaking up attention and, of course, enjoying all the treats she can get! (She’s still learning to take them a little more gently—can you blame her?) She does pull a bit on the leash, but with some consistency and patience, she’ll catch on quickly. She rides well in the car, so she’s always up for an adventure by your side. After everything she’s been through, Bambi deserves a home full of love, security, and full bowls. If you’re looking for a resilient, affectionate companion who will be endlessly grateful, Bambi is your girl 🐾💗

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.

Story
Meet Ruby! Ruby is literally the sweetest baby who loves giving kisses, getting belly rubs, and soaking up all the attention. She’s super chill and would make the perfect couch potato, though she also enjoys playing with tennis balls and snacking on treats. Ruby did great with cat testing and would be best in a home with a chill dog who gives her space—or as the only dog. She’s child friendly, dog selective, cat friendly, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. She does pull a little on the leash, but with patience, she’s ready to find her forever family full of love and cuddles.

Story
Meet Veda  Veda is a very sweet girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She came from a neglect situation, so new environments and new animals can feel a little overwhelming at first—but once she feels comfortable, her gentle personality really shines. Veda would do best with a calmer dog companion and slow, thoughtful introductions. During dog testing she seemed scared rather than reactive, and she was also a bit unsure around cats, so a home without cats or with very patient management would be ideal. People, however, are her favorite—especially when treats are involved! She does well on a leash, enjoys quiet walks, and isn’t particularly interested in toys, preferring snacks and affection instead. Veda is looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her blossom at her own pace. ✨ Veda is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to love and spoil with treats, Veda may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Finn!  Finn is a goofy, higher-energy guy who absolutely adores people and lives for attention. He’s a total lovebug with adults but is still learning how to interact appropriately—no small kids for this guy, as he tends to get overly excited and may nip during play. It’s never mean-spirited, but he just doesn’t know his own strength or boundaries. Finn struggles with anxiety in the shelter and spends much of his time licking his kennel walls. He’s currently on medication (trazodone) to help manage his stress, but what he really needs is a stable, loving home to help him decompress. Despite his quirks and anxious habits, Finn is a go-with-the-flow kind of dog once he feels safe. He does okay with most dogs, though he can be a little selective, and he is definitely not a fan of cats—he will chase them without hesitation. Speaking of chasing, Finn also has a strong urge to chase cars, so a fenced-in yard is a must to keep him safe. There’s not a ton going on upstairs for this silly boy—but we love him for it. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a few goofy habits and a whole lot of heart, Finn just might be your perfect match. Finn is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
