Story
Meet Briley, a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her energy! This beautiful girl is the total package—smart, affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. Briley is incredibly intelligent (no surprise there!) and thrives when she has something to do, whether it’s going for long walks, learning new tricks, or just being your shadow around the house. She’s the kind of dog who forms strong bonds with her people and loves being involved in whatever you’re doing. Briley would do best in an active home that can keep both her mind and body busy—she’s not one to sit on the sidelines for long! After a day of fun, though, she’s more than happy to settle in for some quality cuddle time.

Story
Meet Thing 1 — a pint-sized bundle of pure happiness! Weighing in at around 30 pounds, this adorable little guy is the perfect mix of compact and cuddly, with a goofy personality that’s impossible not to love. Thing 1 is a total love bug who lives for affection and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. He walks nicely on a leash, making him a great buddy for daily strolls. While he can be a bit shy when meeting new people, it doesn’t take long at all for him to warm up—and once he does, get ready! He’ll be jumping right into your lap, wiggling with excitement and showing off his signature “wiggle monster” moves. Thing 1 is full of joy, love, and just the right amount of silliness to keep you smiling every single day. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy companion who will happily be your shadow (and your lap dog!), Thing 1 is ready to meet you!

Story
Thurman is a 1-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound with energy for days and absolutely zero interest in hunting — unless you count hunting for attention. What he does love, however, is dancing! This goofy boy is always bouncing around, wiggling with excitement, and showing off his happy feet whenever people are nearby. Thurman is full of personality and would thrive with an active family ready to keep up with his adventurous spirit. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or zooming around the house with excitement, Thurman is always ready for fun. Like many young hounds, he’ll benefit from continued training and plenty of outlets for his energy, but underneath all the silliness is an incredibly sweet dog who just wants to be included in everything you do. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you laughing and maybe even teach you a few dance moves, Thurman is your guy.

He came from an Amish farm and is now looking for a forever family where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished.

This sweet boy would thrive in a loving home that understands he may need a little time to adjust. In return, Jack will reward your patience with endless loyalty, gentle companionship, and plenty of cozy cuddles. If you're looking for a calm, loving best friend who will happily snuggle by your side, Jack could be the perfect addition to your family.
