Story
Augustus aka Auggie is 2yrs old. He love his owners and we love him.. However, we also have cats and we have been unable to have him cohabitate. We feel he should be with an owner that lives in the woods away from neighbors. He loves to run and have a catch. Then he likes to come in and take a nap in his crate.We adopted him and his brother not knowing that this could cause many hardships. It is going to be very hard to separate the two at first but I believe they with be okay.

Story
Georgia just turned 4 years old. She is a beagle, red heeler mix. She is a total love bug, loves to run outside no matter if it’s in the woods, beach, or just at the park. She loves to snuggle and be under the blankets. She will brighten up your day when you come home with her wiggle butt. I am looking for somebody to take great care for her, give her endless snuggles and lovings. She does have separation anxiety. She takes anxiety medication which helps her a lot, which I can provide. A bone and toys keeps her distracted tho!! I can provide bags for food, toys, treats, for the first couple months!!

Story
Meet Dosa 🐾 Dosa is a wonderful 60 pound, 6-year-old Great Pyrenees / Husky mix looking for a new, loving home. She is an incredibly affectionate, friendly dog who truly loves people and companionship. She is: Great with other dogs Wonderful with children House-broken Walks well on a leash Very social, gentle, and eager to please Dosa is a rescue, and we were originally told she was good with cats. Unfortunately, that has not been the case in our home. She has a strong interest in our cat, and for everyone’s safety and well-being, we need to find her a home without cats. This has been a very difficult decision because Dosa is an amazing dog, and we truly wish we could keep her. She would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention or share space with dogs and people, but not cats. We are committed to finding Dosa the right home where she can be safe, loved, and happy.

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 9mths 2wks
