Story
Meet Denali! She is a 4-year-old bully mix. She has been with us for a few months and we have gotten to know her very well. She did not have the best life before coming to us as a stray. It's obvious that she's had puppies in the past and had been running loose for quite a while before she made it here. Denali is scared of new people and will growl and bark to scare them but with her trusted humans help she does warm up and accept new people. She’s a giant goofball who will tap dance for her meals and treats, loves chasing toys and taking walks. Does very good for baths and even tolerates vet care really well. She spends time hanging out with us in the office and is content to get some pets then curl up with a chew bone and just be near us. Denali knows basic commands, begs for food by trying to shake your hand and dances for joy on her back feet during play time. She travels well in a care and enjoys outings with her trusted humans. She gets along well with most dogs, it’s so cute watching her play with other pups through the fence during outside time. Denali prefers women but does well with men as well once they’ve earned her trust, which usually involves a treat or two. She does have some skin allergies but with regular bathing and a balanced diet those are completely manageable. She isn’t the easiest dog at first but once she knows you are going to love her, she will become your constant cuddle bug. We recommend that she go to a home without kids, they might just be too much energy for her to settle in and be her true self. If you think you have the home and heart to show Denali what being a spoiled baby is all about fill out an application and come meet her.

Story
Howie came in as a stray. Just under a year old he's full of energy and potential. He is playful, loves people and isn't afraid to tell you what he's thinking, even if you can't understand him. He'll need some basic training at first but is very receptive of corrections and just wants to please people. We are still learning about him so check back for updates or stop in to meet him.

Story
Tito is a big guy that was found just chilling in the middle of the road. He's been coming out of his shell since he got here and he is just the smartest, goofiest boy. He is good on a leash, loves food and knows basic commands. He's even learning some fun one's like play dead. He appears to be potty trained. He is picky about what dogs he interacts with. He is a solid dog who just wants to play, lay on the floor entertaining himself with a stuffie or sit on the couch with you for movie time. If you think Tito could be your best friend fill out an application or stop in to visit him.

Redford is just a beautiful bundle of fun. He came to us as a stray and is settling in still. He pulls a little on the leash but is easily corrected. He loves treats and sits for them without even being asked. Redford would love an active home that would either take him on walks and hikes or even just go out in the yard and play for a bit every day. If you think Redford could be your sidekick fill out an application or come visit him.

Story
Ace is a middle age beagle at about 6 yrs old but still has his beagle energy. He came to us as a stray and we can only guess it's because that beagle nose of his took him on an adventure. He's a little cautious of new people at first but when he figures out that you just want to give him pets and treats he becomes your best friend. He does really well with other dogs and he seems to gain confidence when he's around one. We are still learning about him but so far he's been the sweetest boy who loves to be around people and run. If you think this handsome man would fit in your home fill out an application or come visit him.
