Story
Hi… I’m Peppa! When I first came to the shelter as a stray, I was very scared. The world felt big and confusing, and I wasn’t sure who I could trust. No one knows what my life was like before I arrived, but sometimes new things, and people still make me nervous.The kind people here have been so patient with me. They’ve given me time, gentle voices, and lots of encouragement. Because of them, I’ve started to bloom. I’m still learning that I’m safe but every day gets a little easier.It can take me a little while to warm up to new people. I just need a little patience and understanding. Once I trust you though, I really trust you. I love to be close. I’ll curl up in your lap, ask for hugs and kisses, and follow you from room to room just to be near you. Sweet talk makes me feel very special. Peanut butter and treats help too — those are some of my favorite things!I’m learning so many new things right now. Walks can still feel a little scary sometimes, but I’m trying. I’m also working hard on being brave for medical care. It’s a lot, but I’m doing my best.I would really love a family who will continue helping me grow. If we worked on basic obedience training together, I think it would help me build confidence and bond with you even more. I want to feel proud and secure and I want to know I belong. I need to be the only animal in my home, as other dogs can make me feel unsure. I would also do best in a home with mature teens or adults who can help me feel calm and safe.The staff here say I’m a wonderful little lady. They say I’m sweet and snuggly and that I’ve come such a long way. I may be shy at first, sometimes I even hesitate like I’m not sure I’m “allowed” to get on the couch, but once I know it’s okay, I just want to be close to you.What I’m really looking for is someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will move at my pace and show me that the world isn’t so scary after all.If you have a quiet home and a gentle heart, I think we could be something really special together!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Story
Looking for a love story that grows deeper with time? Meet Margaret, a gentle, soulful girl who’s just waiting for her person to help her shine. Margaret came to us as a stray, and while she’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place, she’s making beautiful progress every day. At around 3 years old, she’s past the puppy chaos and ready to focus on what really matters: building a meaningful bond with her person.There’s something truly special about Margaret. One look into her expressive eyes and you’ll understand—she’s a quiet, observant dog with a lot of love to give. While she may be shy at first, she blossoms with patience, kindness, and gentle encouragement. As she grows more comfortable, her sweet personality begins to shine, and she forms deep, loyal connections with those she trusts.Margaret can be a little more reserved when meeting new people, particularly men, but with time and a few treats, she warms up and shows her affectionate side. Watching her gain confidence and come out of her shell is incredibly rewarding. One of Margaret’s favorite things is spending time with other dogs. She has done very well in playgroups at the shelter and truly enjoys canine companionship. If there is another dog in the home, a meet and greet will help ensure a good fit.Margaret is looking for a calm, patient home with experienced dog owners who understand that trust takes time to build. She would do best in a household with older children, ages 10 and up, or adults who can respect her need to move at her own pace. She thrives in an environment where small victories are celebrated and where she can continue to grow into her best self.Margaret may not be the kind of dog who rushes up to greet you right away, but she is the kind who will quietly and deeply bond with her person. If you believe the best relationships are built on trust, patience, and understanding, Margaret might just be your perfect match. Come meet Margaret and see if your story could be her happy ending!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings.

Story
Icee is a 1 year and 2 month old blue merle cattle dog with a striking coat and a bright, alert expression that shows just how tuned-in she is to the world around her. Like many cattle dogs, Icee is an intelligent and active girl who will thrive in a home that can keep both her mind and body engaged. She’s at a great age—past the tiny puppy stage but still young enough to learn, grow, and bond deeply with her future family. Icee would do best with someone who appreciates the working dog mindset and is ready to provide structure, consistency, and plenty of activity. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or learning new skills, she’s the kind of dog who will enjoy having a job to do and a person to connect with.I am currently in foster!
