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
Charlie just turned 3 years old — a birthday she spent, once again, behind the walls of the shelter she’s called home for almost a year and a half. 🥀She’s a beautiful Rottweiler/Retriever mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul… but you’ll have to earn the chance to see that side of her. Charlie struggles with meeting new people — the world hasn’t always been kind to her — but if someone could just give her a few chances, visit her a couple of times, sit quietly nearby and let her heart unfold on its own… they’d find the most loyal, gentle, loving dog waiting underneath the fear. 💔Once she trusts you, she’s pure sunshine — a snuggly, kiss-giving, tail-wagging angel who will follow you anywhere. She walks beautifully on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and loves to stretch her legs running around the yard before curling up in a soft bed or a pile of blankets. She doesn’t care much for toys — she just wants love, safety, and someone to finally stay. 🐾Charlie has done well with some dogs here, but she takes her time getting comfortable — both with people and other pets. She’d do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with no young kids or cats.She’s a staff and volunteer favorite because we’ve seen the real her — the dog that greets you with kisses, melts into your lap, and looks at you like you’re her entire world. 🌙We keep telling her that her person is out there. That someone will see past the nerves and realize what a once-in-a-lifetime dog she truly is. But with every day that passes, she waits a little longer.Maybe you’re the one she’s been waiting for. 🖤More information?

Story
👑 All Hail King Kane 👑“You may address me as Your Majesty… or just Kane. That works too.”After five long years of being in and out of the shelter royal palace, Kane is finally ready to reclaim his throne—this time, in a forever kingdom of his very own.Big? Yes.Beefy? Absolutely.Mouthy? Only when his royal opinions are ignored.Kane isn’t your average dog. He’s a one-dog monarchy. A majestic land hippo with a bark that echoes through the halls and a presence that demands respect, snacks, and zero sweatshirts. (Seriously. Do not clothe the king.)This monarch has a very specific list of royal preferences:👑 No children in the kingdom—small humans don’t understand protocol.👑 No other animals—His Majesty does not share the throne.👑 Bring offerings of enormous blankets for royal lounging. Bonus points if they’re fluffy.👑 Be okay with Kane occasionally mouthing your arm like a medieval turkey leg. It’s how he shows affection… probably.Kane has had a rough reign—years of bouncing between castles (shelters), waiting for someone who gets him. He’s not here to be the village jester. He’s not a knight in shining armor. He’s a king—equal parts muscle, loyalty, and glorious attitude.But for the right subject? He’ll be your fiercely devoted ruler of the living room. Your silent protector. Your blanket-loving, sweatshirt-hating best friend.Long live Kane.Give him a chance to rule your heart—and your couch. 🐾🛋️💂‍♂️More information?
