Meet Copper — a bouncy bundle of joy just waiting to shine! At 5 months old, Copper is still figuring out the world around her.

Once she warms up, Copper is all energy and happy wiggles! This playful pup loves to bounce around, explore, and show off her goofy, fun-loving side. She’s the perfect mix of sweet and spunky, and she’s sure to keep you smiling with her puppy antics. Copper would do best with a patient family who understands that she may need a moment to settle in—but once she does, she’s all yours.

Meet Kojack, a gentle giant Cane Corso with a heart as big as his frame! Weighing in at 90 pounds (and still filling out!), Kojack has come a long way. When he first arrived, he was missing most of his hair, but now his skin is healthy and his coat is growing back beautifully. This transformation reflects the care, love, and patience that define his personality. Kojack is sweet, well-mannered, and loves people. He’s comfortable around other dogs and enjoys his daily walks, strolling nicely on leash—though sometimes he forgets just how strong he is! Despite his size, he’s calm, affectionate, and eager to please. He is currently finishing treatment for Lyme disease, and with his health improving, he’s ready to find a forever home that can match his loving and loyal nature. Kojack would thrive in a home that understands large, strong dogs and can provide gentle guidance and plenty of companionship. If you’re ready for a loyal, affectionate, and resilient companion, Kojack is ready to meet you and steal your heart! *To ensure he is placed in a responsible home applicants will be hand picked - please schedule an appointment to come visit!*
