Story
Sampson is the kind of dog who just gets it-easygoing, loving, and happy to be wherever you are. He rides great in the car, strolls calmly through stores, and even handles vet visits like a total gentleman. Give him a little sunshine, a short walk, and maybe a cheeseburger treat, and he’s living his best life.  He has spent the night in a home and was found to not like being alone. When his person went inside, he became a bulldozer to get to them. He will require a sturdy fence. He would be a great walking partner and couch companion. September 14, 2026, 3:47 pm

Athena is the happiest dog! She loves to run, jump and chase a ball. A scholar she is not. She will be loyal and loving, but did you ever hear the saying two brain cells, and they're both fighting for third place? She will keep you smiling!September 14, 2026, 3:47 pm

A Little Sunshine on a Leash--- This sweet girl is pure joy wrapped in fur. Kaitlyn is playful, bubbly, and has a way of making even the simplest walk feel like the best part of your day—sometimes she’ll even hold the leash for you like she’s leading the adventure herself. She’s gentle, easy to walk, and absolutely loves being outside—soaking up the sunshine, exploring the world, and sharing quiet moments filled with hugs and happiness. There’s something so light and loving about Kaitlyn… like she was made to bring warmth wherever she goes. All she needs now is someone to share those sunny days with forever.September 14, 2026, 3:47 pm

Story
Buddy Britton is the kind of dog who makes hard days softer. (As of 04/2026) Young, joyful, and easy to love, Buddy asks for very little—just a short stroll, a patch of sunshine, and someone to call his own. Then he’ll happily chill beside you like he’s always belonged there. His sister (Lil' Miss) is at the shelter too, and both deserve their happy ending. Buddy is a loyal little sidekick with a heart too big for kennel walls.September 14, 2026, 3:47 pm

Story
Ariel looks like she stepped straight out of a dream—those icy blue eyes sparkling like little diamonds, just waiting to be seen. She’s happy, bubbly, and full of life… the kind of girl who lights up the moment she gets out of her kennel. Easy to walk, always ready for a treat, and curious about the world around her—she’s just waiting for her moment to shine. All she needs now is her magic carpet ride out of the shelter… and into a life where she’s loved like she deserves.September 14, 2026, 3:47 pm
