Story
Meet Waylon, a super energetic puppy looking for his forever home! Due to our busy schedule, Waylon needs a new family who can give him the attention and exercise he craves. He’s great at playing fetch and absolutely loves running around in the yard, so a home with a good-sized, fenced yard would be perfect. Waylon gets along wonderfully with younger dogs and would thrive in a household where he has a playful companion. He loves cats a little too much, so a household without a cat may be best. Waylon will need someone who can be around often to take him on walks and engage in playtime. While he’s full of love and energy, Waylon still needs to learn basic training cues. With a patient and consistent owner, he’ll quickly pick up new commands and become a well-behaved member of the family. If you’re looking for a fun-loving and active pup to add to your life, Waylon might just be the perfect match!

Story
My name is Boone and I have been at the shelter since 2024. For a senior dog I am very active- I like to run and play fetch. I do very well on the leash and would make a great walking buddy. I also do good for my baths. I love meeting people, and love getting belly rubs. I would like to be the only dog in the household.

Story
Hi, I'm Ruger! I love playing and running around with my friends! I love dogs of all sizes and I seem to like cats, too! I've been here since I was a puppy (I came here in August of 2022!) so I can be a bit shy with new people but I am so sweet and loving when I know you! I love cuddles and pets! I would do best in a home without small children because I don't understand how big I am and I may knock over small children when I'm running and playing. I find strange men to be really scary but I'm trying really hard to work on that. I may do best in a home without men or at least a home who is willing to help me overcome that. I have lots of energy so I will need someone who will give me lots of exercise! I love swimming in my pool when it's hot out! I really like car rides and I would love to ride away with you!

Story
I came to the shelter in November of 2025 as a stray. I was pretty skinny and had to be put on a special feeding plan to get my weight back up. I love people and I'm a social butterfly. I have made some dog friends as well. I can not be in a house with cats.
