Story
Meet Max! ❤️ At 7 years old and 99 pounds, Max is a gentle giant with an even bigger heart. He’s sweet, goofy, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that everyone he meets is his new best friend. Max lives for people. The sound of your voice gets his tail wagging, and once the head scratches begin, you’re officially part of his inner circle. He’s playful, trusting, curious, and always ready for an adventure or a cozy day soaking up all the love he can get. He has a heart of gold, a personality larger than life, and so much love waiting to be shared. And one more thing you should know about Max: he’s blind. But that’s just one small detail about an incredible dog who doesn’t let anything stop him from enjoying life. Max isn’t looking for sympathy. He navigates like a pro and will convince you he can still see sometimes - nothing stops this guy! He’s looking for a family to laugh with, love on, and explore life beside.❤️

Story
Meet Pepper! Pepper is a sweet, 4.5-year-old Bernedoodle who is bonded to her friend, Cheddar. These two will need to find their forever home together. 💕 Pepper came from a difficult situation and was understandably very scared and shut down. She also arrived with a rough haircut, but recently had a visit with our groomer and got all fixed up! Pepper will need a patient adopter who is willing to give her time to decompress, build trust, and come out of her shell at her own pace. While she may be timid right now, we believe she has so much potential. With time, patience, and love, Pepper and Cheddar could truly blossom into wonderful companions. ❤️

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Pumpkin Spice! Pumpkin Spice is around 4 and a half years old, and contrary to her name, she's all pumpkin and no spice. A relaxed, mature girl who enjoys taking life nice and easy. She lived with kids and other dogs in the past and gets along well with them, but she's scared of new people, especially men. Because of that, she'll probably do best with a woman adopter in a home without a man around, where she can feel completely safe and let her guard down. Once she trusts you, she's a calm, sweet companion who just wants to lounge by your side and enjoy a quiet, predictable routine. If you're looking for a low-key best friend who needs a little patience upfront, Pumpkin Spice is ready to settle in and be your girl.
