Story
Meet Bairn, an energetic and enthusiastic dog in search of an active, confident owner. Bairn has a zest for life and loves to stay busy, whether it’s going for runs, long walks, swimming, or cuddling with his favorite people. He thrives on learning new things and is a quick learner—definitely a smart cookie! Bairn is reactive to new people, other dogs, and some vehicles, so he will need to be walked with a muzzle as a precaution. However, his reactivity can be managed with consistent training, energy-draining activities, keeping a safe distance from triggers, and positive reinforcement for good behavior. When his mind is engaged and his energy is properly channeled, Bairn is much more balanced and in control. This wonderful boy will need a dedicated owner who is committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure he needs. While Bairn may not be immediately friendly with new people, he just needs time and slow, controlled introductions to build trust. Once he bonds with you, he’ll show you his goofy, lovable side. Bairn is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can thrive in a calm and structured environment. He would do best in a home without small children or other dogs. With patience and understanding, Bairn will prove to be the best companion you could ask for!

Story
Bella is an intelligent and affectionate dog with a heart full of love! She’s a quick learner and knows just about every trick in the book. Bella is incredibly active, and could happily spend her days playing fetch and swimming. Though she’s a sweet girl, Bella’s past of abuse and neglect has made it difficult for her to trust people and other dogs. She will need a patient and experienced owner who can provide her with the guidance she needs, especially when meeting new people. Slow introductions will be key, and Bella should not interact with other dogs. Thankfully, she’s learned many ways to manage her nerves around strangers, and with the right training, she’ll continue to grow in confidence. Bella would thrive in an adult-only home with a fully fenced backyard, where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have the time and experience to help her build trust, Bella will reward you with a deep bond and endless love.

Story
Meet Mello and Loca – an inseparable duo with a powerful bond and an even bigger love for life. Believed to be mother and son, Mello (5 years old) and Loca (7 years old) came to us under heartbreaking circumstances. After their owner passed away, they were left alone in their home without food or water. Thankfully, a kind-hearted neighbor stepped in to help, and eventually, they made their way to us. This bonded pair must be adopted together—they’ve been through so much and find comfort in one another's presence. Both have recently been spayed and neutered, and Loca has already had a much-needed dental procedure, with Mello scheduled for his soon. Friendly, affectionate, and full of personality, Mello and Loca are always ready for a new adventure. However, shelter life has been especially hard on Mello. He's been started on anxiety medication to help him cope, and shortly after arriving, he was also diagnosed with allergies. To stay comfortable and itch-free, Mello requires a special diet and regular medicated baths. Mello and Loka are working on their leash manners. They are extremely strong pullers but we are seeing improvement with their training everyday. They are looking for a family with the time to continue their training. What these two need now is a loving home where they can continue their journey together—exploring the world, cuddling up at night, and being cherished for the incredible dogs they are. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving pair to share your heart and home, Mello and Loca are ready to meet you.

Story
Bentley is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 15 years young, he was surrendered due to medical needs, but despite his challenges, he remains a joyful and resilient companion. Bentley has a heart murmur, but after a visit to a cardiologist, he was diagnosed with degenerative valvular disease, which requires no treatment — a relief for Bentley and his future family! In addition to his heart, Bentley’s eyes are in need of some care. He is blind in both eyes and struggles with dry eye and cherry eye, but he’s not letting that slow him down. He recently saw an ophthalmologist, and with the right medication, he’s living life to the fullest. Bentley is incredibly patient when it comes to his daily eye treatments, and his future family will need to be comfortable administering them. Bentley is on the lookout for a warm, loving home where he can enjoy slow, peaceful walks and snuggle up in a cozy bed. If you're ready to offer Bentley the care and love he deserves, he’s ready to bring endless affection into your life.
