Story
Meet Midnight: From Street Life to Sweet Life! Midnight's story started as a puppy, roaming the streets with her pack. Now, she's ready to trade that life for a cozy home. Once completely feral, she's made incredible progress thanks to a dedicated approach that focuses on trust and positive reinforcement. Midnight is learning that humans are safe and that following guidance leads to rewarding experiences. However, she is still learning that touch is not scary, so she will need someone who can offer a gentle, patient approach as she continues to build confidence. She’s exploring walks, affection, and the joys of companionship, and is eager to continue her transformation in a loving home. Could you be the one to support Midnight as she grows into the best version of herself?December 24, 2025, 1:40 pm

Story
Hello world, ready or not, here I am! My name is Benson, a 3-year-old red heeler mix. I’m neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for my forever home. My perfect forever family would be someone who loves adventure and running just as much as I do. I’m about 40 pounds of pure go-go-go energy! I’ll definitely need my new parents to teach me some manners, but I’m potty trained (just have the occasional accident here and there) and I'm the best boy ever, just looking for a home full of love. I’m the true definition of a perfect guy—I love to snuggle and soak up all the belly rubs. I also adore my walks, and when people at the shelter have time, I love to run with them at full speed. I do pull a bit on the leash because I’m so excited to explore everything this world has to offer, but once I’ve burned off enough energy, I calm down and walk amazingly on leash. My coat is mostly white with red tick spots all over, and my face is uniquely colored—you might never find a dog like me again. Ready to make me part of your family? I can’t wait to meet you!November 29, 2025, 3:19 pm

Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Myrtel is a special girl with a story of resilience. When she first came to us, all she knew was life on the streets, fending for herself. She was shut down, didn’t want anything to do with people, and couldn’t walk on a leash. But with time, care, patience, and becoming the office dog, her true personality began to shine. Now, she’s the best girl on the leash, loving to play, run around, and vocalize. Myrtel has the sweetest, softest eyes you’ll ever see. She’s crate trained and learning potty training & doing GREAT. While new people can still be scary for her, and she’s a bit hesitant about being touched near her head, she absolutely loves some butt scratches. She’s done well around kids and gets along with most dogs, though she can be a bit much sometimes. We don’t recommend her in homes with cats, as she tends to be too focused on them. Myrtel is a wonderful girl ready for a patient and loving home to help her continue to grow.December 2, 2025, 2:35 pm

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Story
Meet Lassie, a sweet but timid 2-year-old girl who's been waiting patiently for her chance at a new beginning. This rabies-vaccinated beauty arrived at our shelter with a litter of pups and a heart full of fear. Lassie is one of our longest-term residents, and it's clear she's had limited positive human interaction in her past. While she's made strides in learning to walk on a leash, she remains very scared and is put off by touch. Lassie needs a calm, understanding environment where she can decompress and learn to trust at her own pace. Could you be the one to offer Lassie the gentle patience and love she needs to blossom?December 24, 2025, 1:40 pm
