Story
Dobby is a very happy dog, he loves company and running, even though he is a senior, he does not behave as one at all! There is still a lot of life and playfulness within him. He loves toys, walks and people. He loves people! He is house trained, pees and poops outside. He goes well with other cats. He is used to being the only dog in the house, but we believe that he would be ok with other dogs. He is a bundle of love that needs a new home.

Story
****Dog Friendly****.Poor Ollie was found alone in the pouring rain—skinny, shivering, and missing patches of fur. A kind Samaritan couldn’t ignore his suffering and brought him to safety to a shelter. While we may never understand why someone would abandon such a sweet soul, what matters now is giving Ollie the second chance he so deserves. Since coming into our care, Ollie has started to blossom. Thanks to dedicated volunteers who give him regular medicated baths and lots of love, his skin is healing and he’s gained some much-needed weight. Despite everything he’s been through, Ollie remains incredibly affectionate and trusting—a true testament to his gentle spirit. Ollie is currently staying at a boarding kennel while we search for his forever home. He’s just 1-2 years old and has so much love left to give. Please consider opening your home and heart to this wonderful dog. With your help, Ollie can finally have the safe, caring family he deserves.

Story
This is Xylo... This older gentleman has been here in our shelter since July 2023, due to a housing issue. Xylo is 7+ years, and 66 lbs, he's a true shadow dog, wanting to be by your side & getting all the loving. This big guy knows sit, paw, and down. Xylo loves to please his person. He can be dog selective and is recommended to be the only pet. We are recommending he go to a home with no small children due to his strength and size.Update 4/27/24 Xylo had a suspicious growth removed last week, but thankfully the biopsy came back that it was benign (Not cancer)! Now he's back to acting like a puppy again and ready for his furever family. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Age: 9yrs 8mths 1wks

Labrador Retriever

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Danny is a 1 year old Weimaraner mix who came to us from the county animal shelter. He is a goofball and full of life. Danny does not realize how big he is, so he would excel in a home without small kids or cats. He is a quick learner and would do great with some basic obedience training. Danny would love a family to call his own. Danny is very friendly and very active. He can get over stimulated in the kennels when it is very busy, but settles down after a some exercise. He should be much calmer in a home environment but he will need exercise regularly. Primary Color: Grey Age: 1yrs 4mths 0wks
