Story
Ivy is 1 year old and will be turning 2 on June 8th. She was one of the puppies from an unexpected litter. After being placed in a loving home, her previous owners were unfortunately unable to keep her due to downsizing, so she came back to me. Ivy Ann is a purple nose lilac merel color Ivy is a sweet, loving, and cuddly girl who loves attention and being close to her people. She does well with other dogs most of the time, but can become possessive and show some aggression if another dog has something she wants.She is potty trained, though she may have an occasional accident if left alone for long periods. Since getting her back, my work schedule has changed, and I don't have the time she deserves.I'm looking for someone who will love Ivy as much as she deserves and has the time to give her the attention, care, and companionship she needs. ❤️

Story
Hello! My name is Boone and I have been at the shelter since 2024. I am considered a senior, but don't let that fool you- I can still get going when I want to! I love to play chase or fetch in the run, and my favorite thing of all is a walk. I do very well on the leash and have excellent manners. I know when it's time to settle down, though, and on those days you can find me stretched out (and snoring) on my nice bed. I can run and play when I want to get silly, but I am still older, and due to my age, I would like a home without younger kids. Maybe we could be retirement buddies? My favorite toys are squeaky balls and stuffed squeaky toys- although the stuffed squeaky toys never seem to last long around me. My favorite enrichment is the stuffed cardboard boxes and paper towel rolls. I have been to lots of events and places in my time here and am always a superstar. I love meeting people and do well in the car too. I'm ready to hop in one and ride away from here! I am very affectionate, too, I like belly rubs and like to lean against you. I am a "people person" and have never met a stranger! I'll get right in your lap and enjoy cuddles. When it comes to other dogs, though, I like things my way and I'm old enough that I've earned the right not to share! I don't like it when other dogs get in my personal space- after all, who likes a stranger in their face? I would like to have a place - and a person- that's all my own.

Story
Hi, my name is Ruger! You have probably seen my face on the website for a while now. I have been here since I was very small and don't really know much else but the shelter. I'm pretty comfortable here since It's like my home, but I also find it kind of scary sometimes. I find lots of things scary- there is so much that I have never had a proper introduction to, and I have never had an owner to teach me that I can still be safe even when I'm scared. Men are especially scary to me, and even though I have some men I am not scared of, and even like, I think a home without them might be better. I would do best in a calmer home, as well, without children. I woud be a great dog for someone who lives alone and wants a best buddy to share their space with. I like lots of things too! I like stuffed toys and cozy beds, and am often found inside napping while the rest of the dogs go play. I like butt scratches and peanut butter, too. I do like other dogs, but sometimes I need my space too. I like bigger dogs over smaller dogs, but I don't have a problem with smaller dogs. I love to run around in the run here, too, and bask in the sun on warm days. On really warm days, I like to play in my pool. I hope you come to see me, I think I'm ready to finally "leave the nest"!

Hi there! I'm Trixie, a 4-month-old brown and white Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, and I'm ready to bring joy to your home! 🐾 I'm already spayed, so there's no waiting around — I'm set up for success from day one. I'm still recovering from my spay, so I can't have playmates yet- but I seem to like the other dogs here. I'm a friendly and social pup who loves meeting new people, and my playful spirit means every day is an adventure! 🎉 I am super silly and prance around like a little baby deer! I promise to fill your days with puppy love and endless entertainment. Come say hello — I can't wait to meet my forever family! 💕

Story
Hello, I'm Chomper! I am a friendly, sweet lab/shepherd mix. I think about two things most of the time: food and love. I love to play but I also know when to chill- sometimes I sit in my outside kennel and just watch the birds. They tell me I'm goofy here because I wag my whole body instead of just my tail- but I can't help it! I love attention and pets and can't wait to get them. I think I am just the right size for a lap dog. I like other dogs, too, and have a couple of buddies here. I am super smart- if i do say so myself. I'm very treat motivated too, so I could learn lots of cool stuff with my own person! I am very vocal, and am still learning how to act when I see someone, including another dog, I want to greet on leash. Sometimes I get so exicted I forget my manners, but I am learning fast and get better everyday. I could be your best buddy, if you give me a shot!
