Story
This high-energy, 1-year-old Shepherd Mix, that is ready for her forever home. Freya loves bubbles and will play with them as long as you let her. She is very easily excited and bouncy, so we do not recommend her for a home with children. She is looking for a home that has the patience for a big energetic puppy that needs daily exercise and training. She knows how to sit and lay down, and has been learning about walking on a leash. We are not sure if she will accept another dog as we are currently testing her around other animals. She grew up in a home where she was the only pet, so that might be what she is going to need as a good match. Freya is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you are interested in Freya, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
Meet Timber! Timber is a fun-loving dog that is ready for his forever home. He loves to go for walks on our trail and is very well-mannered on leash. He enjoys being around people, and once he knows you, you'll be his best friend. Timber loves squeaky toys and stinky, meaty treats. Timber is very smart and playful. He knows how to "sit" and is still working on "down" and his recall training. He has done well meeting other dogs and lived with a dog his own size. He has not lived with a cat or young children, but has met some of our teenage junior volunteers and likes to play with them. Timber will need an experienced active home that can take him for daily walks/hikes and continue to work on his training. If you are interested in adopting Timber, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application.

Story
Meet Chucky: Your New Best Friend! 🐾❤️ Say hello to Chucky, a 1.5-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing 72 lbs, bursting with love and energy! This sweet boy is fully vetted, with a clean bill of health from his vet visit yesterday, including negative heartworm and fecal exams, and an up-to-date rabies vaccine. 🩺 Chucky is a big-hearted pup who thrives on affection and loves to cuddle, play, and chew on his favorite toys. He’s incredibly friendly, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and with proper training, he’d likely do well with cats, too! While he’s confident and may stand his ground with dominant dogs, Chucky is all about spreading love and joy. 🐶 This playful goofball adores running, playing, and soaking up attention, making him the perfect companion for an active family with teens who can shower him with love. Chucky would thrive in a home with another dog to play with and plenty of space to run, plus a cozy spot inside to stay close to his family. 🏡 Since joining our family last year, Chucky has become a beloved member, but he’s ready to find his forever home where he can shine as the star of the show. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving companion, Chucky is your guy! 🥰 Interested in meeting this amazing pup?
