Story
We have had Oden for about 18 months trying to find him a great home. He loves being outside and running around. He’s a large stoic dog that has nothing but love to give and loves belly rubs. He was in very rough shape when we found him on the streets but has since warmed up to being in a family. He knows commands such as “sit”, “wait” (when putting his food down), and “kennel” (to which he goes right in his kennel). We do follow a feeding schedule and feed him in a private room because he does show some traits of resource guarding with food so we give him space and don’t want to stress him out while eating. He has been boarded with plenty of other dogs on several occasions and plays great, as well as playing great with our cats that live outside. His adoption includes his large kennel pictured. Oden needs a place that he can run around and play or a family with plenty of time, time our family unfortunately does not have due to work, school full time, and having young children.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jasper. That’s probably not my real name because my story is unfortunately a lot like many other unwanted pets. I was left to fend for myself not knowing where my next meal would be. Luckily I was rescued and given my chance to shine. I have proven that I really really love people regardless of my early start with humans. I want to be loved so much that I will beg for just a head rub and lap snuggles. Yes I’m a big strong boy but I’m really a small lap dog disguised in a hound dog body. Do I give slobbery kisses, why yes, is there a problem with that? I love to run and play but if given a choice I’d rather be by my persons side. I would make a great adventure companion. Riding shotgun by your side wherever you go, that would be my doggie dream. Currently I share a foster home with lots of other all size dogs but I would really like to be your only ride or die dog. I’ve gone so long without one on one attention that I’m constantly competing for the attention. Am I perfect? Heck no but I’m a diamond in the rough, clay ready to be molded. I’m looking for my person who is ready to be my furever person. One who will love me and never give up on me. I’ve been waiting a long time to just be loved. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2026, 7:14 pm

Story
Rumple is an almost 4-year-old sweetheart who is looking for a home where he can be someone’s one-and-only dog. We took Rumple in from a previous owner and have grown very attached to him. He’s affectionate, has a big personality, and really loves being part of the family. He has lived with another dog and they have mostly done well together, but over time it has become clear that Rumple would be happiest in a home where he doesn’t have to navigate the dynamics of another dog. Because of that, we are looking for a home with no other dogs where he can settle in, relax, and get all the love and attention for himself. This is not a decision we’re making lightly, and we are not in a rush to place him. We care very much about where he ends up and want to find the right person or family for him. Rumple deserves a home where he can truly thrive, and we would love for his next home to be his forever one.

Story
Hello, I’m Echo! I am a 7-year-old Lab mix. I am a very gentle and lazy senior fella, but I’m currently not thriving because I get very anxious and really just want to hang outside all of the time. My family wants me to find a home where I can be truly happy.Echo is:• Gentle, lazy, and a senior boy• Deaf or extremely hard of hearing• Good with children (he lives with a child now and they are buddies!)• Not good with cats (they drive him crazy!)• Neutered, housetrained, and leash trained• At peace when he’s outside and easy to walkI’ve been through a lot and can get very anxious, especially at night when it’s hard for me to calm down. I’d love to be a mostly outside dog. I’m not one to show much affection besides my very waggy tail and I’m a bit too old to play, but if you have a nice fenced-in yard and some time to walk and sit with me outside every day, I think I’ll be a happy boy.💰 Rehoming fee: $100Includes: leash, harness, dog bed, food, toys, water & food bowls
