Story
Say hello to Harley! Yes, like the motorcycle!Harley is a young man with lots of energy and love to give. He hasn’t been with us very long, so we’re learning what we can about him. But so far we can tell he hasn’t had much training, and he hates to be alone. He loves his long walks with the volunteers or playing in the yard. Harley was found on White Oaks Rd and jumped into someone's car for safety and warmth. Nobody came looking for him and we hate to think that he was forgotten about. Harley is open to meeting other dogs and kids! Please come meet this boy during our open hours Mon-Fri 12 to 6 and Saturday 12 to 4.

Story
Daisy is a beautiful, big girl with an even bigger heart and outstanding manners. She was adopted in 2024, and through no fault of her own, has found her way back to us after a heartbreaking situation. Daisy wasn’t actually “running away”—she was being left to roam the neighborhood for days at a time without proper supervision or care. Now she’s back, and all she truly wants is a safe, stable home where she’ll be looked after the way she deserves.Despite everything she’s been through, Daisy has remained incredibly well-behaved and loving. She carries herself with a gentle, easygoing nature and seems to truly enjoy being around people who show her kindness and consistency. She’s the kind of dog who will settle right into your life and quickly become a loyal, dependable companion.Daisy is ready for a fresh start with a family who will keep her safe, love her fully, and never let her feel lost again. She deserves a home where she’s cherished—not just allowed to wander, but truly cared for and kept close.More information?

Story
At 3:30 in the morning, in the bitter cold, Elsa was abandoned. Dumped in our parking lot when it was 20 degrees outside, she stood trembling beside her sister Anna—the only constant she had left. Two senior dogs, left in the dark, in the freezing cold, with no understanding of why their family never came back.Elsa is a gentle, tender soul. She moves a little slower now, but her heart is still wide open. Throughout everything she’s been through, Elsa has remained soft and loving, quietly seeking comfort and reassurance. She stays close to Anna, drawing strength from their bond—because when you’ve lost everything, holding onto each other is how you survive.She loves attention, soaking up every gentle touch like it might be the last. There’s no bitterness in Elsa, only sadness and hope tangled together. Hope that someone will see her. Hope that someone will care. Hope that her final chapter won’t be written in a kennel.Elsa and Anna are bonded sisters and must be adopted together. They’ve already endured a heartbreak no senior dog should ever experience, and separating them would be another loss they don’t deserve.More information?
