Story
He is energetic and he's fun to be around. He is a good boy just doesn't get along with the other dogs in the house. We are hoping for a single home so he can get the attention he deserves and needs and he is potty trained. We have had him for 4 years he was born in our house. And as far as describing them I'd say he's loving energetic and if he gets a good enough bond with you he'll protect you. He is not mean to people a little shaky around people doesn't know him that well but has not bitten anyone.

Story
Hi! I’m Porsche. 🐾✨ Yes — like the car. And honestly? The name fits. I’m about a year and a half old, full of energy, and built for movement. I’ve got that classic German Shepherd brain — smart, alert, and ready to go. But I also have a soft side that just wants attention and connection. I recently came back to the shelter after a short stay in a home. Transitions can be a lot for a young shepherd like me. Big changes, new dogs, new environments — it’s overwhelming when everything happens at once. I’m still learning how to slow down and settle when life moves fast. Here’s what I can tell you about the real me: I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I love attention. 💕 I know sit and down, and I come when you call my name. I enjoy car rides 🚗 and I’m happiest when I have something to do — especially if it squeaks! Oh… and toys? They are my thing. 🎾 If there’s a squeaker inside, I will find it. Immediately. I love fetch — although sometimes I’d rather lie down and proudly chew on the ball like I just won a championship. I can get very focused on my toys (I take play seriously!). When I first come out of a kennel, I’ve got some zoomies in me — that young shepherd energy! But once I’m in the yard and have space to move, I settle nicely. Structure helps me. Clear expectations help me. Slow introductions help me. I’m not a “throw me in the backyard and figure it out” kind of dog. I’m a “let’s build this the right way” kind of dog. With proper introductions, supervision, and guidance, I have all the potential in the world to thrive. I would do best with: A confident, experienced dog owner Structured routines Slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets Plenty of enrichment and toy time I’m young. I’m smart. I’m full of potential. And I’m ready for someone who wants to invest in me the right way. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a playful heart and a working-dog brain, I might be your girl. Let’s do this properly — together. 💛 — Porsche 🐕

Story
Reynard is a 4-year-old neutered Red Heeler with endless energy and an even bigger heart. He loves to stay active but is just as happy to curl up and snuggle. We're heartbroken to be searching for his forever home, but after welcoming our baby, Reynard has had a difficult time adjusting. We know he would thrive in a home better suited to his needs. Reynard needs an experienced, confident owner who is committed to continuing his training. He is reactive and aggressive toward other dogs and would do best as the only pet in a home with no young children. His herding instincts are also in full swing! Since rescuing him at 2 years old, he has worked with two professional trainers and has made some progress, but he still needs consistency, structure, and someone willing to continue helping him succeed. Reynard is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and has so much potential to be an amazing companion for the right person. Please reach out with any questions!

Story
I got Ladybird (or just Bird for short) from a farming family from Nebraska City area from an "accident litter" when she was a puppy. Ladybird is 9 years old and is chill, sweet, and obedient. She especially enjoys snuggling up and getting scratches on her head. She is an adult dog and is starting to slow down, but she still loves to play and run around. She's great around kids, other dogs, does not show any aggression towards anyone or anything except birds. The only thing I cannot confirm is how she will respond to cats as she's never been around them.I’m looking for a home where she'll get the love and attention she needs. The best fit for her has people eager to snuggle her. She's eager to please and literally just wants to snuggle and be a comfort dog. I want to make sure her next home is a lasting one, and I’m happy to answer questions about her personality and daily routine.

Story
Roxie is a foster from a pure bred mom and dad Redbone coonhound. She needs open spaces, country life would be perfect for her. Definitely a hunter of many things in nature. Lol. Great with kids and dogs but not sure about cats. We didnt want her to go to shelter so we have had her about 6 months. She was born on January 1st of 2026. We do know that so, she is a big puppy. Clumsy cute and needs open spaces.
