Having healed well in a loving foster home, she is now looking for a home to call her own! She is goofy and LOVES to play! Come meet this girl today!

Story
Delilah is a goofy, loving girl ready to find her new home. Delilah came to us as a stray so we don't know much about her past but she is definitely not letting that get her down. Delilah is a staff favorite as she is outgoing and playful. She has done well with other dogs in the shelter setting and has even been used as a "helper" dog in playgroups because she helps other dogs get comfortable. Come meet her and see for yourself! Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 42.3 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
We're looking for a wonderful new home for our dog, as much as it breaks our hearts to do so. With a busy household, a 2-year-old, and another baby on the way, his anxiety has become very difficult for him to manage. He hasn’t adapted well to having young children around, and we can tell he would truly thrive in a calmer, kid-free environment. He's an incredibly loving, affectionate, and loyal dog who forms strong bonds with his people. He's also very active and would be happiest with someone who enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping him mentally and physically engaged. He's smart, sensitive, and wants nothing more than a routine and an adult-only home where he can relax and feel safe. We want him to go to someone who will appreciate his sweet personality and give him the peaceful, consistent home he deserves. If you're looking for a devoted, energetic companion and can offer a quieter environment, he could be the perfect match for you.

Story
Introducing Rory! This fluffy cloud of a dog is ready to find her new home! Rory came to us when her previous owners were no longer able to care for her. They did tell us that she is a "Pomsky" which is explains the fluff! Rory would would prefer a home with older children that can respect her space. She has done well with calmer dogs in the shelter setting, but would do best in a home without feline friends. Come meet this sweet girl today! Primary Color: White Weight: 37 Age: 7yrs 9mths 1wks
