Story
Meet Pluto: A Big Goofball with a Heart of GoldPluto is a 2-year-old Great Dane mix who brings a whole lot of personality in one big, lovable package. This handsome guy is sweet and friendly, but he prefers to take his time getting to know new people before jumping right in—once you’ve earned his trust, you’ve got a loyal buddy for life.Pluto is food aggressive. He’s got lots of energy and would thrive in an active home that can keep him engaged both physically and mentally. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or learning new tricks for snacks, Pluto is always ready to have some fun.Pluto is not dog-friendly and would do best as the only pet in the home. He has not yet been tested with cats. No kids.Although this handsome ray of sunshine has tested positive for Lyme disease, with antibiotics and a little TLC from our caring staff, Pluto is thriving and doing well. He will only need antibiotics for Lyme when he has a flare up, and it`s recommended to continue monthly flea & tick treatment for further prevention. He’s a smart, playful guy who just needs the right person to help guide him and give him the space to build trust at his own pace. With structure, patience, and plenty of treats, Pluto is going to make a fun and devoted companion.

Story
Angel came to us as a stray. A very timid and shut down girl, it was apparent that she had a troubled past. We placed Angel in an experienced foster home and this is where she learned to trust again. With time and patience, Angel is going to make a wonderful companion! She is best suited to an adult only home, children are too busy for this calm lady. Angel does great in a car, and she is working on housetraining. Below are notes from her foster parents: `Angel is pretty good on leash. She’s not a big puller but is a stop-start walker. And she’s not always mastered the walking at a human pace. She tends to “trot on” and then stop while you catch up and then go again. She gets better as the walk goes on but is not tough to walk. I’ve always walked her on a 6ft leash, and not kept her in a heel position.We’ve focused on letting Angel rest, gain confidence and going in and out of doors. When she came, she tended to pull & dash out of the side door when it was walk time. It was almost as if she was afraid of the actual doorway. I spent some time getting her to stand and look at me before we go out out of the door. Eight times out of 10 now she’s much better and will walk through the door at a normal pace. But she was the same with the car, the crate and the travel crate. As soon as the door was open, she would try and bolt out. An adopter would need to know that in a car she will try and rush out so they would need to have a grip on her leash.On Sunday, we tried her in the car on the backseat. I used a seatbelt clipped to her harness. She was brilliant. She either just sat looking forward out of the window or lay down. No panting, no distress and no pacing.`

Story
Gibbons came in as a shy boy. He was thin, and tested positive for lyme. He was placed in a loving foster home and treated and while there he had the chance to build confidence and learn how to be the best boy! Gibbons is ready for his forever family! Here are some notes from his foster mom:`He`s a sweet loving boy! He`s pretty much house trained now (5 hour intervals through the day and 8.5 hours overnight) and is learning his vocabulary of sit, stay, leave it, let`s go, no, etc. His leash manners are still a work in progress as he can get really stimulated with all the sights and sounds of the farm. He`s eating well and finishes all his food by bedtime. He will eat on his own but I noticed he eats much more when I`m standing with him and encouraging him to eat.`

Story
Meet Clover!Clover is a young hound mix that came in as a stray and is looking for a fresh start. New experiences and surroundings can be a little overwhelming for her, so she will need a little extra time to settle in. Once Clover settles in, she is an energetic, vocal, excitable girl with tons of energy to burn! She will need a patient adopter willing to work with her and provide her plenty of physical and mental stimulation.Clover is best suited to a home with no small animals or cats, and adults only. Clover does love other dogs, and a dog around her size that can match her energy or is tolerant and patient enough to teach her boundaries is best. Any resident dog will require a meet and greet with Clover prior to adoption to ensure they are a good fit.Clover does appear to have some seasonal allergies, which any adopter will need to be made aware of and may need to be willing to work with their veterinarian to help manage.If you are looking for an active, playful companion with lots of love to give, perhaps Clover is your girl!

Story
Meet Avril: A Sweet Girl Ready to Find Her PersonAvril is a 1-year-old Labrador mix with a gentle heart and so much love to give. While she can be very scared and shy when first meeting new people, once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate personality truly begins to shine.Avril is the kind of dog who we can see forming a very special bond with her future person. With patience, trust, and time, she has all the makings of a devoted companion and may even become the ultimate “velcro dog,” happiest when she is by your side.Avril does not appear to be a fan of other dogs, so she would likely do best as the only pet in the home where she can receive all the attention and support she needs. She loves playing ball and would enjoy a family who can provide her with fun activities, enrichment, and plenty of quality time together.This sweet girl is looking for someone who will give her the patience she needs to come out of her shell. In return, Avril will reward her person with loyalty, affection, and a bond that will last a lifetime.

Story
Meet Justice: A Big-Hearted Girl Full of Love and EnergyJustice is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix with a fun-loving personality and a heart full of affection. This sweet girl is full of energy and loves to play, but she is also a big softie who enjoys snuggles and spending quality time with her people.Justice is looking for an active home that can keep up with her enthusiasm and provide her with plenty of opportunities to exercise and burn off her energy. A yard where she can run, play, and explore would be ideal for this energetic girl.Justice may do well with another canine companion with the right temperament. A meet and greet would be required prior to adoption to ensure a good fit. She`s so far shown little interest in cats, but a cat test can be performed upon request. We feel she would do well with dog-savvy children, but she is a large, rambunctious dog, so there is a chance they could get knocked down mid-zoomies!With the right family, Justice will be a loyal, affectionate companion who loves being part of the action. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly dog with a big personality and even bigger heart, Justice may be the perfect match for you!
