Story
Roger is in need of a loving home or at the very least, respite care until May! My mother took him in after his owner was incarcerated and he’s too big and strong for her to handle. I offered to take him in but he didn’t get along with my slightly smaller dog that likes to be in charge. He’s somewhere 10-11ish years old. He’ll lean his whole body against you, tail wagging, with the biggest smile on his face in hopes you’ll give him all the pets and snuggles.

Story
My family adopted her from a foster house when she was just a puppy. She is now 4 years old. She struggles with some behavior issues but can be really friendly. I think that she requires a home that has plenty of space for her to run around and get her energy out, and someone who can properly train her. I think she also needs someone who can give her plenty of love and pets. I am trying to find a new home for her because my family moved away and left me with her, but I struggle with her behavior issues, but I also suffer from extreme dog allergies. She is truly a sweet and fun dog I’ve had so many great memories with her I just can’t give her the love she deserves right now.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Star … this goofy little sweetheart — the pint-sized clown who’s guaranteed to make you laugh every single day! She’s got the silliest, most lovable personality. Her tiny legs move at lightning speed when she gets the zoomies (and oh boy, does she love her zoomies). When she’s not sprinting around the yard or rolling in the cool grass, she’s probably snoring like a tiny freight train during her nap — she’s a total snorer! Her adorable tongue hangs out of the side of her mouth thanks to her slightly off-center jaw, which only adds to her irresistible charm. And those big blue eyes? Always watching to see if you’re paying attention to her antics! She gets so excited to meet new people — she just wants love from everyone and can hardly contain her joy. We’re working on her jumping because sometimes her heart gets ahead of her manners, but it’s all out of pure happiness. She’s been through some tough times, and you can tell she’s ready for the good life she truly deserves. She did okay during her dog test at animal control but after being with us in foster care for a few weeks, she seems very selective.  Might be best if she’s the only dog.  Cats are a hard no … and because of her personality, kids who are older and respectful of her antics. Her goofy personality shines in everything she does — from the way she plays with her toys to her little “derpy” grin. The lady at animal control said if she had her own soundtrack, it would be the sound of a tuba as she walks — and honestly, that’s pretty spot-on! This silly, snuggly, tongue-out, tail-wagging girl is ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and plenty of zoomies! Star is from a local shelter.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I'm BettyLou Boots!   I'm a sweet, gentle girl who's looking for a patient and loving home to call my own. I might be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'll be your shadow - I love being right next to my person. Meal time is my absolute favorite part of the day! I know breakfast as cereal and dinner as supper, and I never let anyone forget when it's time to eat. My other favorite treat is Greenies - I will do just about anything to get one! I've lived with cats before and did really well with them, so I wouldn't mind sharing my space with a calm feline friend. Because of my size, I'd do best in a home with children over 10. I'm a gentle soul but might accidently bump into the little ones when I get excited. I'm not the biggest fan of car rides, but I promise I make up for it with my love of snuggles and playtime. Squeaky toys are my jam, and I can often be found proudly carrying around a sock or two (they make the best treasures!). If you're looking for a loyal companion who will love you endlessly, keep you company through every "cereal" and "supper," and make you smile with my silly sock adventures - I'm your girl.    Love,  BettyLou Boots   Betty does need to be adopted into a home with another dog present.    BettyLou Boots is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Amberly – a survivor with a heart full of hope Amber is a 1-year-old Jindo mix making her way to Minnesota all the way from South Korea, where she was rescued from the unimaginable cruelty of the dog meat trade. After spending her life confined in a barren metal cage, Amberly is finally getting her chance to experience what every dog deserves: kindness, comfort, and love. She was one of 67 dogs saved by our incredible partners at Humane World for Animals (formerly Humane Society International) as part of a historic rescue from a long-running dog meat farm in Cheongju, South Korea. With the country’s ban on the dog meat industry now in motion, Amberly’s rescue represents more than just a second chance — it’s a symbol of lasting change. Despite all she’s been through, Amberly is learning to trust and open up. She’s a little shy with new people at first, but warms up with soft tail wags and gentle curiosity. She leans into petting from people she knows and is easy to walk on leash, especially with a clip-style leash. Click here to see a video of her soaking up love! Amberly has gone on many buddy walks with other dogs and is still figuring out how to play appropriately — after all, she never had a chance to be socialized in the past. She shows excitement and interest in other dogs and would benefit from continued slow introductions and a patient dog friend. She’s looking for a calm, understanding home that will let her continue to blossom at her own pace. With time, love, and patience, Amberly will be the most loyal, grateful companion you could ever hope for. From farm cage to soft bed — Amberly’s journey is just beginning.
