Story
Nugget is high energy and loves to run and play outside. At the same time, he knows how to be a couch potato and cuddle with you while watching a good movie. He loves people, other dogs and children. He has never shown aggression towards anyone or anything and will be a great addition to a loving family. He is housebroken and will “go to bed” on command. I am just looking for someone who will love him and give him the attention and affection that he deserves.

Story
Meet this happy and resilient boy. Fred Flintstone came to us with a badly infected ear that left him with cauliflowered ears.  Despite what he’s been through, he’s a happy, upbeat guy who enjoys getting out and about. He walks well on a leash and loves his time with people. He would do best as the only dog in the home, as he may not enjoy the company of other dogs. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s overcome a lot and is ready to soak up love, this handsome guy is waiting to meet you. November 2, 2026, 6:10 pm

Story
Meet Kimmie! Kimmie is pure sunshine on four legs. She LOVES attention and treats, and her wagging, docked tail looks like it’s doing a happy little wiggle dance every time someone comes near. She’s always upbeat, always smiling, and simply thrilled to be out and about. She’s a true outdoor enthusiast—runs, play, walks, exploring… Kimmie never turns down a chance to get out of her kennel and see what’s next. The yards are her happy place, and she’s always ready for another lap, another sniff, another adventure. Tall, graceful, and full of life, she moves with the confidence of a dog who truly enjoys every moment. Inside, she’s just as sweet: friendly, eager, and clearly delighted by human company. You can tell she’s spent time learning about the world and would make a fantastic companion for someone who loves activity, treats, and lots of affection. Kimmie has a little frost on her muzzle, which tells us she’s an adult—experienced and still bursting with joy. She’s already been spayed, so she’s ready for that forever home now. What kind of home would be perfect? Someone active who enjoys daily walks or runs... A person or family who’ll keep giving her chances to explore, play, and be close to people...... A home that appreciates a smart, tall, beautiful, happy dog who could brighten any day.....November 2, 2026, 6:10 pm
