Story
Meet Coraline (Cora), A bright and joyful 4-month-old Red Heeler mix with a big personality packed into a puppy-sized body! This sweet girl’s favorite place to be is as close to you as possible, preferably attempting to squeeze herself right onto your lap for snuggles. Cora is a smart pup who is already potty trained and comfortable in her crate, giving her a fantastic head start for her age. Like any young puppy, she’s still learning the meaning of “no,” but her eagerness to please and quick mind make her a great student. When it comes to meeting new people, Cora’s enthusiasm shines, she’ll happily bounce up to say hello and share her excitement. With a little continued training, she’ll polish those greetings into perfect manners. She loves squeaky toys, chasing balls, and true to puppy form, has a soft spot for shoes if they’re left within reach! Cora ignores cats and would do wonderfully in a home with children who can match her playful, affectionate energy. She also sports a docked tail and a unique ear coloring that makes her stand out in the cutest way. If you’re looking for a loving, clever, and spirited companion who will keep you smiling every day, Coraline is ready to wiggle her way right into your heart, and your lap! 🐾 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Celexa Celexa’s story starts out a little heartbreaking—but her future is nothing but bright. This sweet girl was rescued in northern Minnesota after being found in a trash compactor alongside her siblings, with no mom in sight. She was tiny, fragile, and needed to be bottle-fed just to survive. Thanks to lots of love and care, Celexa has grown into a happy, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever home. Celexa is a total cuddlebug at heart. Her favorite place to be is right next to you—whether that means snuggled up on the couch, curled at your feet, or quietly keeping you company. She has a gentle, loving personality that makes her an easy companion for cozy days at home. She also has a playful side! Celexa loves romping around with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine buddy. She gets along well with cats, too, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Celexa already knows how to sit and is working hard on her potty training—she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn, especially when treats are involved! She’s very food motivated, which will make training a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Celexa has come so far from her rough start, and now all she needs is a loving home where she can continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will shower you with love and snuggles, Celexa might just be your perfect match. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
The adoption fee listed above is completely sponsored by a generous donor, so her adoption fee is waived! Sasha is as sweet as they come. This beautiful, well-mannered 4-year-old girl has worked so hard with her trainer and has become an absolute leash-walking champ! She’s fully muzzle-conditioned and happy to wear it! Sasha has never shown any people aggression, but she does have a strong prey drive—so she’ll need to wear her muzzle anytime she’s outside for the safety of our small dog friends and any other small critters in your neighborhood. We’d love to see her future home have a tall privacy fence where she can safely enjoy regular off-leash time without her muzzle. She’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her people—whether it’s relaxing after a long day or joining you on adventures. Sasha does well with other dogs with slow introductions. This sweet girl is gentle with her toys, easy to bathe, and full of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-trained companion who’s ready for her next chapter, Sasha is your girl! 📹 See her in action: 🔗 Watch Sasha’s playlist All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Meet Twinkie - A Gentle Soul Learning to Shine ✨ Twinkie is a beautiful black and white Sheltie with the softest eyes and an even softer heart. Recently surrendered from a commercial breeder, she is just beginning to discover what it means to be a beloved companion—and every day, she grows a little braver. Twinkie is a sweet, gentle girl who thrives in calm environments. She’s still learning that the world can be safe and kind, so she’s looking for a quiet, patient household that will give her the time and understanding she needs to blossom at her own pace. Watching her come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding—those small victories, like approaching for affection or exploring a new space, feel like big celebrations. She would be perfectly content as an only dog, soaking up the love and attention of her people. That said, Twinkie may also enjoy having another calm, confident dog in the home to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. The good news? She’s cat-friendly, making her a wonderful candidate for many different types of gentle homes. Twinkie may start out shy, but beneath that timid exterior is a loyal companion just waiting to trust and connect. With patience, kindness, and a predictable routine, she will continue to grow into the loving dog she was always meant to be. If you have a quiet home, a compassionate heart, and the patience to help a shy dog find her courage, Twinkie might be the perfect match for you. All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
eet Durango, lovingly known as “Rango”—a 4-year-old bundle of love, curiosity, and personality! Rango is incredibly friendly and truly believes that everyone he meets is a potential best friend. Whether it’s people, other dogs, or even (we suspect!) cats, he’s all about making connections and spreading joy wherever he goes. This sweet boy is endlessly curious and discovering the world one step at a time—literally! He has recently learned how to go up stairs (go Rango!) and is building confidence with new experiences—though he hasn’t attempted going down them just yet. While he’s learning, he’s more than happy to accept the VIP treatment—being carried is definitely his favorite option 😊 Rango is also a social butterfly when it comes to other pups. He absolutely loves spending time with his foster brothers (two Yorkies and a Chihuahua) and would likely do great in a home with other dogs. One thing to note—he’s not a big fan of being in a kennel and much prefers being out and around his people or furry friends. Rango is the perfect mix of: 💛 Affectionate and loving 🐶 Social and dog-friendly 🧠 Curious and eager to learn 🐾 Goofy and full of charm He’s still gaining confidence with new experiences, so he’ll thrive in a home that offers patience, encouragement, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you, make you laugh, and greet every day with excitement—Durango is your guy. Come meet Rango and fall in love! 🐕💛 All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.
