Story
Meet Cooper: A Big-Hearted Bulldog Mix with Energy to SpareCooper is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix who’s equal parts muscle, mischief, and marshmallow. Athletic and high-drive, he thrives with routine, structure, and clear expectations. While he loves his cozy time with his favorite blankie, once he’s up, it’s go time—long walks, durable toys, and mental challenges keep this strong, smart boy at his best. He already knows basic commands like sit and down, and he’s generally good on leash, though a confident handler is key to keeping his excitement in check.Cooper has a very high prey drive, so he needs a home with no cats or small animals. With a proper introduction, he may do well with either a male or female canine companion that is closer to his size. A slow and proper introduction is reccomended, and a Meet & Greet onsite is required if you do have another dog. Due to his strength and tendency to get overstimulated, he’s also best suited for an adult-only home with bulldog-savvy adopters. In the right hands, Cooper will be a loyal, loving companion who’s as happy tackling a training challenge as he is curling up in his blanket. If you’ve got the experience, patience, and a stash of heavy-duty toys, Cooper might just be the bulldog mix you’ve been waiting for.

Meet Ruckus: A High-Energy Hound Ready for ActionRuckus is an 11-month-old Coonhound mix with an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm for life. He loves food, treats, and durable toys, and he would happily play all day if given the chance. Ruckus thrives on activity and engagement and will do best in a home that can keep both his body and mind busy.Ruckus is very selective of other dogs. He is not suited for a home with cats. Due to his size and his tendency to jump when greeting people, Ruckus would be best in a home with children aged 8 and up.Ruckus still needs to learn some manners, but he is a smart, eager dog with tons of potential. With training, structure, and plenty of exercise, he will make an amazing companion for an active household.

Story
Meet Pine Nut: A Big Ball of Energy Looking for Room to RunPine Nut is an 11-month-old male Lab mix with VERY high energy and a huge love for life. He’s always on the go and will need a home where he can burn off his energy through play, exercise, and enrichment. Pine Nut is incredibly affectionate and may jump up to greet you with love, so he’ll benefit from continued training to help channel his enthusiasm.Because he can be unaware of just how big he is, Pine Nut would be best suited for a home with kids aged 10 and up who can handle his size and excitement. He absolutely loves canine companions, and it is strongly preferred that he go to a home with another dog who can help him play, learn, and thrive. Due to his strong prey drive, a home with cats and other small animals is not recommended.Although this beautiful ray of sunshine came to us positive for Lyme disease, with antibiotics and a little TLC from our caring staff, Pine Nut is thriving and doing well. He will only need antibiotics for Lyme when he has a flare up, and it`s reccomended to continue monthly flea & tick treatment for further prevention. He is also on a special diet for the health of his liver and he will likely need to be kept on this diet moving forward: Royal Canin LD.Pine Nut is not suited for apartment living and will do best in a home with plenty of space where he can run, explore, and truly be a (Pine) Nut. With the right environment, training, and companionship, Pine Nut will make a wonderfully fun and loyal family member.

Story
Meet Layla: A Loyal Girl with a Silly SideLayla is a 4-year-old American Bulldog mix who is a well-rounded, loving companion with great manners and a playful personality. She is both crate trained and house trained, and she already knows several commands including sit, place, paw, and lay down.Layla is good with men, women, and children, though she may take a little time to warm up to new people. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet and loyal nature really shines. She walks well on leash and enjoys spending time with her people.Layla is dog selective. If she were to go to a home with another dog, it would need to be a calm companion, no cats, ideally her size or smaller, with proper introductions. Otherwise, she would also do very well as the only pet in the home.One of her favorite things in the world is her best friend — her squeaky chicken toy — and she’s always happy to spend time playing or carrying it around.Layla is looking for a loving home that will appreciate her training, her personality, and her adorable attachment to her favorite toy.

Story
Meet Daniel: A Gentle Giant Learning His SizeDaniel is a 1-year-old Great Dane mix with an incredibly sweet and loving personality. He is full of affection and sometimes gets a little overwhelmed with just how much love he wants to share.Daniel doesn’t quite realize how big he is, so due to his size and enthusiasm, he would do best in a home with children aged 10 and up to avoid any accidental knock-overs. Daniel would probably be happy to share his home with a more passive dog that would tolerate his high energy and playful nature.He will need some continued work on his manners, but he is eager to please and has great potential. Daniel walks much better on a harness than a standard leash, and this will help set him up for success on his daily walks.Daniel is looking for a home that can guide him as he continues to grow into his big body while giving him all the love he’s ready to give in return.

Story
Meet Wendigo (Wen): A Husky with Heart, Hunger, and HumorWendigo — or Wen for short — is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky mix with a big personality and an even bigger comeback story. He came to us as a stray in very emaciated condition, and because of that, food is extremely important to him. He is highly food motivated and can be protective of his meals at times, though we have not seen aggression. With structure and continued guidance, he has been doing well.In fact, his love of food has worked in his favor. Our animal care attendants taught him how to sit using treats, and he does it with such dramatic enthusiasm we’re convinced he might register on the Richter scale. When there’s a snack involved, Wen is all in.Wen has plenty of energy and loves being outside, true to his Husky roots. Interestingly, he does get cold right now — likely due to his previous low weight — so he may benefit from a stylish puppy parka during chilly weather (at least until he fills out a bit more).He will need leash training and continued work on general manners, but he is eager to learn, especially if treats are part of the deal. Wen is incredibly trusting of people and has very high cuddle-bug potential once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy.He would do well in a home with dog savvy kids!Wen is looking for a committed home ready to continue building his confidence, teaching him the ropes, and helping him thrive. With patience, structure, and plenty of snacks, he’s going to make a loyal, entertaining, and affectionate companion.
