Story
Rayne is a kind-hearted dog who is looking for her forever home. She seems to be housebroken and knows her basic commands. It may take her a minute to warm up to new people, but she is just nervous here at the shelter. She plays well with children, is dog selective, and will need a home without cats. She'd love to find a home where she could get lots of exercise and lots of attention. She is a quiet girl who has a friendly demeanor! We were told that she likes riding in cars and would love to tag along if you'd let her. This protective girl would make a great family companion!Age: 3Housebroken: YesActivity Level: Medium/HighKids: Loves kids!Dogs: Picky - we will do meet and greets!Cats: NoTraining Needs: Low, does jump when playing Leash Trained: YesIdeal Home: Fenced in yard, active, kids to play withPersonality: playful, active, nurturing, loyal, dominantPawgwarts (Hogwarts) House: Hufflepup!

Eleanor is a very sweet girl! She loves people and is great with kids, but might be too high energy for young children. She seems to enjoy other dogs and did very well in her previous foster home. She will need a home without cats. She is energetic, playful, and entertaining! Keep in mind, her energy can get her into trouble; she can clear a 6 foot chain link fence! Eleanor would thrive with a large privacy fence and lots of room to roam!Age: 2Housebroken: UnknownActivity Level: HighKids: Likes kids!

Story
Meet Zuma! Zuma is an absolutely awesome dog. He is affectionate and goofy, and has such a large personality. You’d never believe he came to us as a neglect case, skin and bones. He was found with open sores all over his body and was eating out of the garbage. He had been deprived of food for quite a while and has become possessive about food as a result. Never fear! We feel Zuma would do just fine being crated while food is out until he gets more comfortable and self-assured. This applies to people food and dog food. Zuma is currently heartworm positive, and is undergoing treatment. If you would be a good fit for him, please contact us! He’s a wonderful guy and we want him to have a shot at a loving forever home!Age: 6 1/2Housebroken: UnknownActivity Level: ModerateKids: YesDogs: Yes - we use him to “dog test” our other pound dogs!Cats: Would prefer a home without themTraining Needs: Low - would do best with an adopter who has experience with possession over food. Ideal Home: Zuma would do well in a variety of home settings!

Story
Miss Molly came to us as a stray back in June 2023. We can count on one hand how many times Molly has been asked about. She doesn’t “show” well in her kennel, and needs to spend some one-on-one time with you before you see her real personality. Molly has been much pickier about other dogs, but we would love to do some meet and greets! She hasn’t been cat tested but we can absolutely do so if requested. Molly is full of energy and loves to run around and play! She would do best in a home with older kids/teens, as she can be a little on the nervous side.
