Story
Max is a small terrier mix puppy, around 7 months old. He is sweet, playful, friendly, and full of energy. He was given to me by someone close to me, but unfortunately due to housing restrictions I can no longer keep him. I am looking for a loving, responsible, and safe home for him where he will be cared for and treated like family. He is small, adorable, and enjoys attention and affection.

Story
Meet Dutch! 🐾 Dutch is a handsome four-month-old Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger future ahead of him. This sweet boy was found abandoned on a rural road, but you’d never guess it from his happy, loving personality. Dutch is resilient, affectionate, and ready to leave his rough start behind for a forever home. Dutch absolutely loves people and does wonderfully with kids. He also gets along great with other dogs and would enjoy having a playful canine buddy in his new home. He hasn’t been around cats yet, so slow introductions would be recommended if there are feline friends in the family. He is very affectionate, playful, and easy going. Dutch is also very fast at learning. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will fill your home with love, laughter, and puppy snuggles, Dutch might be the perfect match for you. 💛

Story
Goldie is a gentle, shy girl who is still adjusting to her new surroundings. While her past is unknown, she's currently showing signs of fear and anxiety and can be a bit unsure at first. With a calm, slow approach, Goldie allows staff to handle her and is beginning to show that she can feel more comfortable over time.Goldie is a rather large dog, so we recommend a home with older children who can respect her space and move calmly around her. She would do best in a patient, understanding home that will give her the time and space she needs to settle in at her own pace. A quieter environment may help her feel more at ease as she builds confidence. With consistency and care, Goldie has the potential to become a devoted companion.

Story
Meet Juniper, this handsome boy was found as a stray and is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. Because of his past, Juniper may be a bit unsure when meeting new people-he can be avoidant of touch at first and prefers to take things at his own pace.With patience, understanding, and a considerate approach, Juniper is already beginning to show his softer side. Juniper would do best in a calm, predictable home with someone who respects his boundaries and is willing to let him come out of his shell on his own terms. For the right person, watching Juniper build confidence and form a bond is an incredibly rewarding experience. Juniper was found along with other dogs.If you're someone who believes in giving a dog the time and space they need to thrive, Juniper may be the perfect match for you.
