Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there! My name is Hercules, and I’m a 3 year old Great Dane. I’m on the smaller side on the Dane scale, but definitely still 100lbs of love and energy.  A few things about me, I love to run and play with toys, I’m very loyal, I’m ok with sleeping all day or I’m happy to help you around the house with all your tasks. I love to be involved and part of the party. If you’re doing things that I can’t help with, I’m very content in my massive kennel where I sprawl out and chew a bone, or cuddle up in a ball and nap. Some things that are important to know before meeting me is my foster mom is adamant I go to someone or a family that understands large breeds, how to keep me safe, and most importantly how to read my body language. Per the Great Dane breed I’m a bit judgmental at first and prefer to meet new people out of my kennel, with my handler near, and I like to be the one that decides if I want to come to you and when. Once I feel calm and get a good wif of your vibes, then I’ll let you know you’re cool by letting you pet my back and booty. Deep down I’m a big cuddly lap dog that loves to lean into yah to relax but sometimes getting to that takes me a little time. I’m hopeful that whoever adopts me will give me plenty of time to bond with them directly before I start meeting a lot of new people and pups. Speaking of fellow pups, I tend to do well with most other dogs, but like everything introductions should be slower and controlled. I was intact till just a bit ago so between my size and manly posture and lingering testosterone still flowing through my body it tends to be other dogs that don’t like me first and then I choose based on their reaction to not really care for them. My foster mom runs a dog boarding business out of our home so I do get a ton of exposer every day to new dogs and random people from time to time and she is happy to help anyone that is interested in adopting me move forward with training, behavioral & posture explanations so you will know all my cues and can take over as my person so I can live a long healthy life with you going forward. I know my bio blip is a little longer than just Im a cute cuddly puppy, but I promise you that I’m a gosh darn good pup that’s really looking to settle in to their forever home and love on someone everyday. And just a reminder if my pictures don’t do justice - I’m extremely Handsome and 10/10 puppy eyes  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Well hello new friend, it is nice to meet you! My name is Fallon and I am a special boy looking for a special home! You see when I was a puppy, something went a little wrong in my body and I have been urinary incontinent since. We tried shots and medication but nothing worked. The vet said there could be a surgery available but the odds of it working weren't good and it was risky. So now I still go outside to go to the bathroom, but I "drip" when I am in the house. It is not my fault as I am a really good boy! I wear a male wrap with a pad on and I am SO good at wearing it! When we come back in the house from being outside, I know to wait for my wrap to be put on and then go play. My foster parents just say "Fallon you are naked" and I come right to them for my band. My pad just gets changed when it has urine in it, which isn't all the time, and my wrap needs to be washed every so often to stay clean.   If that didn't scare you away, look at how handsome I am! I do so great in the car, I love the resident dogs and all the other foster dogs that come and go. I have no food or treat aggression as there is enough to go around. I love to snuggle with the other dogs and when my foster mom sits on the couch, I will jump right in her lap to snuggle and watch TV. I enjoy playing outside and I run all over the backyard like the silly and goofy boy I am! I am kennel trained and don't mind my kennel at all! I love to play with toys and chew on antlers. I am a healthy boy who is up to date with all my vaccines, I take my heartworm prevention, and I get my flea/tick meds monthly. I do love my foster mom and dad, but it would be great to have my own forever home with another dog to play with! Could that be with you?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Waabizii, who goes by Callie in her foster home, is smart, energetic, gentle, and food motivated! She is affectionate and playful and loves to run around with her foster brother, Charlie. She would make a great agility dog or running partner if you are into that! She does well with other dogs of her size and follows their lead - she plays when they play, and she rests when they rest. She does like to chase smaller cats and dogs, so we would recommend proceeding with caution around smaller animals. She can be a bit vocal, and this shows when she would like attention. While she is kenneled, she prefers treats to chew on to keep herself busy when she's not ready for a nap. She is a super easy pup who has a good start on potty training and can't wait to find her family!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi There! I’m Snowball, about a 15 lb Pomeranian mix with an approximate DOB of 6/2/18. I came from a breeding facility so it’s taken me some time to get comfortable with relaxing around the humans. I am finally understanding how exciting it is to have foster mom give me pets, scratches and treats. I’m not quite there with snuggling but I like to follow foster mom around and sit nearby.  Potty training is a work in progress. My new home will have to invest in pee pads while I get used to what your life is like. I have no experience with walking on a leash so a home with a fully fenced yard would be ideal for me. I also have no experience with children so might be best to go to a quieter adult home. Perhaps I would be OK with anyone though, as long as they are respectful and can give me time to get used to them.  With time, patience and lots of love, I could be a wonderful and loving companion for the right person or family.  I hope you will consider adopting a dog with a bit of a disappointing past. So far, I am enjoying the possibilities of being a real pet and cherished family member. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gigi – A Resilient Soul with a Heart Full of Love Some dogs have a story that tugs at your heart—and Gigi’s is one of them. This 10-year-old beauty was found during a snowstorm, abandoned and alone in an impounded car. No one came forward to claim her, but that heartbreaking beginning led her to a second chance—one she's grabbing onto with all the love she has left to give. When Gigi was first rescued, she was a hot mess (scroll through her photos and you’ll see what we mean!). Matted fur, neglected teeth, and a spirit in need of care. But a fresh haircut, some dental work, and a whole lot of love later, Gigi has officially had her glow-up—and she’s never looked back. Life hasn’t been easy for this sweet senior. Gigi recently suffered a small stroke, but in true survivor fashion, she bounced back like a champ. The only lasting sign is a slight head tilt—which honestly just makes her even more endearing. It’s her little reminder to the world: “I’ve been through some stuff, but I’m still standing.” Gigi is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—she’s incredibly tuned in to the people she loves. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being near her humans. She’s partially potty trained and improving every day with a bit of guidance and consistency. She does bark when left alone, so a home without shared walls is ideal for this chatty lady. She’d also love a fenced-in yard to safely explore and a furry companion to show her the ropes and keep her company when her people are away. Gigi may be a senior, but her heart is young. She’s ready to trade the chaos of her past for the comfort of a loving home, warm blankets, belly rubs, and all the cozy naps she can handle. If you’re someone who believes in second chances and sees the beauty in a dog who’s weathered life’s storms, Gigi is waiting for you. Let her golden years be the best ones yet—you’ll never regret it.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Are you looking for the BEST snuggle buddy? Molly is too! Her idea of a perfect day involves playing with dog friends, eating snacks, and then cuddling up for a movie. She's the perfect size at 35 pounds- not too big, and not too small! And our little Molly is a shorty like a corgi!    Molly was born approximately 9/18/2020, which lands her in the "mature but young" life stage! She is past puppy shenanigans but still has plenty of active years ahead of her.  She behaves perfectly in the house, and she is house and crate trained (she likes her crate but she is trustworthy without a crate, too).   A home with another dog would be a dream come true for Molly. She is shy of new people but is always eager to meet new dog friends, and having canine buddies around boosts her confidence. She gets along with all types of dogs, playing with the dogs who want to play with her and peacefully coexisting with the ones who don't.    Molly is shy with new people, and takes a bit of time for a new person to gain her trust. She tends to be more comfortable with women than with men, and she does not have much experience with young children. She is very eager to bond with someone who is patient about gaining her trust - you will have a best friend for life!    Molly will be a loving companion for someone - could it be you??Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?
