Story
Josie is a 14-year-old sweetheart who still has the energy of a much younger dog. She enjoys light jogs, staying active, and being close to her person. I’ve had her since she was just 5 weeks old, and she’s been an incredibly loyal and loving companion ever since.She has a gentle, friendly temperament and thrives on attention and companionship. Josie would do best in a home where she can be part of someone’s daily life and get the time and affection she deserves.With the recent arrival of our second child, we’re no longer able to give her the attention she needs. This has been a very difficult decision, and our goal is to find her a loving home where she can enjoy her senior years.She will come with her leash, bed, bowl, and food to help with the transition.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Josie could be a wonderful fit.

Story
Walker has now been in rescue for months without a single application. We don’t fully understand why, because he is a loving, intelligent, playful boy who has worked hard to overcome a difficult start to life. He came to us as a scared shut down puppy who had already experienced more than he should have, and with time, patience, and love, he has grown into the sweet boy we know today. Earlier this year, Walker completed a board and train program through Riverside Canine. His first home wasn’t the right fit, and he was returned to us. Since then, the incredible team at Riverside Canine has stepped in to foster him, and he has been making steady progress in their care. He is smart, affectionate, and would thrive in an active home. He will need a home with no cats, but with slow and careful introductions, he may do well with another dog. Walker’s adoption has been generously sponsored, and his future family will also receive three private lessons through Riverside Canine to help support his transition. He is ready for his forever home and deserves a family who sees just how special he is.

Story
Rocky is a sweet, goofy gentle giant estimated to be around 3–5 years old. He loves walks, cuddling with his people, and soaking up all the attention he can get. Rocky knows some basic commands like sit and is continuing to work on his manners, including leash pulling and excitement jumping, but he is eager to please and full of love. Rocky previously lived with a cat and did well. He may do best as the only dog in the home while he settles in, though slow and proper introductions with certain dogs may be successful over time. Because of his size and energy at times, he would likely do best with older children. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and currently undergoing heartworm treatment. Through everything, Rocky has remained such a happy, affectionate boy who deserves a loving home willing to give him a chance.
