Story
Daisy was born in June 2025. She is a Catahoula/Leopard/Hanging Tree cow dog mix. She is up to date with her shots. She is not fixed. She is a sweet dog but needs to go to a loving home that can provide her with the attention and love she needs. Daisy is deaf and needs to be worked with but she is wonderful with adults, kids and other animals. My family and I are busy and don’t have the time to give her the care she needs. She loves going on walks, playing and being with people.

Story
HI - I'M VAIL! I'm a loving 5-1/2-year old small Pit Bull Terrier-Bully girl in need of a foster or forever home. I'm white as snow and hence I was named after Vail, Colorado! I have a lot of good traits... I love people and am quite the snuggler. I also love my crate, and would gladly sleep in it at night (though would probably prefer your bed.) I'm not destructive in the house and am overall a joy to have around. I'm also quite playful. There are a few things to work on still. At about 45 lbs., I'm a small but strong girl, and could use some leash training. I'm also best as an only dog in the house, where I can get all of the love and attention, as I'm not a fan of other dogs. I'd love a warm bed, a person or people to love me and a chance to go for a walk, hike or road trip! Can you foster or adopt me? I'm currently in Washington but can be transported to Eastern Washington. Please email for an application.

Story
HI -I'M NOMI! I'm a 5-1/2-year-old beautiful and sweet Dutch Shepherd-Pit mix in need of a foster or forever home. My name means "beautiful" and "delightful" and it is so fitting, because I have a gorgeous brindle coat and a sweet face & personality. I was rescued from a Los Angeles-area shelter, and now have been waiting patiently for someone to notice me - for about two years! I am gentle with people, and am friendly with most dogs. I love to be with people and I love to shake a paw! I weigh 68 pounds. Can you foster or adopt me? I really want a home. I'm currently in California, but can be transported to Montana. Please email for an application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Louie, formerly known as Lou, and proudly rocking his new name. He is such a sweet boy and has been settling in so well. One of his favorite pastimes is stretching out in the window to keep watch over everything happening outside. He kennels up nicely and has been doing great in the house.   He gets along really well with the kids. He is still a bit unsure about their bursts of excitement, but he will sit calmly and let them pet him. He is also doing well with our two small dogs. He has had to remind one of them of his boundaries a couple of times, mainly when the little one gets a bit too protective over food, water, or toys. Louie handles it appropriately and does not go looking for trouble.   He is understandably wary of the large German Shepherd next door, who has a bit of a reputation. Louie does not provoke him, but he will stand behind the glass and bark back with his fur standing straight up, which is both brave and a little hilarious.   We are currently working on his chewing habits. He has a soft spot for socks, slippers, and the occasional small toy if given the chance. He also discovered a bingo dabber from the kids’ workbook and decided it looked like a great chew toy, so his legs are now sporting a festive green tint. A bath is on the agenda this weekend, which should be an adventure for both of us. We have not done much leash work yet, but that is next on our list. Overall, Louie is a very good boy who is adjusting beautifully and bringing lots of personality and laughs into our home.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 27, 2026, 12:51 pm
