Story
Hi, I’m Betty!I’m a 7-year-old brown and white Basset Hound mix with a sweet face and an even sweeter soul. I was transferred from another shelter to give me a better chance at finding my forever home and I’m really hoping that home might be yours.I’m a gentle senior gal who loves cozy naps, soft blankets, and spending time with my people. I have that classic hound charm: soulful eyes, a calm and loving nature, and a peaceful presence that makes you want to sit down and relax with me for a while. I may be past the puppy stage, but don’t worry, I still have plenty of love to give and would make a wonderful, loyal companion.I also come with some great bonuses! I’m housebroken, I walk beautifully on a leash, and I know how to enjoy the simple things in life. I tend to bond more quickly with women and can be a little shy around men at first, but with gentle, proper introductions, I warm up pretty fast.If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a deserving senior who just wants love and comfort, I’d really love to meet you!

I’m looking for someone who wants a loyal companion to share their days with, whether that means going for walks, spending quality time together, or just enjoying each other’s company. I have so much love to give and I can’t wait to show someone just how special I am.

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
Vans is a 1.5-year-old Husky who just strutted into the shelter and instantly stole the spotlight! With her striking light blue eyes and gorgeous looks, she’s impossible to miss—but her personality is what really makes her shine. True to typical husky fashion, Vans is fun, energetic, and full of life. She’s playful, curious, and always ready for her next adventure. On top of all that sass and spirit, she’s also super sweet and loves people. She’s the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, moving, and feeling loved every single day. Vans would thrive in a home that understands huskies—plenty of exercise, mental enrichment, and a sense of humor required! If you’re looking for a beautiful, fun-loving companion with endless charm (and those unforgettable blue eyes), Vans is ready to meet you!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
Margaret is a sweet new face at the shelter who came to us as a stray and is still figuring out that she’s safe. We estimate she’s around 3 years old, and one look into her beautiful, soulful eyes will tell you there’s something really special about her. Right now, Margaret is on the shy side, but she’s slowly starting to warm up and show glimpses of the loving dog she wants to be. With a gentle approach, patience, and kindness, she blossoms a little more each day. She’s the kind of girl who will form a deep bond with her person once she feels secure. Margaret is looking for a calm, understanding home that will let her move at her own pace and celebrate the small victories along the way. If you believe the best relationships are built on trust and time, Margaret just might be your perfect match!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
Hi there, I’m Anna!I’m a 3-year-old brown and white Alaskan Malamute with a bubbly spirit and the sweetest heart you’ll ever meet. My first few years weren’t exactly what you’d call a typical doggy life, but thankfully I was given a second chance when I came to the shelter. Now I’m dreaming of something I’ve never truly had before- a real home, with a real family to call my own.When I first arrived, I was pretty shy and unsure of the world around me. Everything felt big and new. But thanks to the love and patience of the staff and volunteers here, I’ve really blossomed. Once I feel comfortable, my joyful personality shines bright! I have a happy energy that tends to make people smile, and I love forming special bonds with “my people.”I’m looking for a family who’s excited to welcome an affectionate, loyal companion into their lives. If you’re hoping for a dog who will greet you with enthusiasm, stick by your side, and fill your home with warmth and happiness, I might just be your girl.The staff here think I would do best as the only pet in a teen-and-up household. I’ve enjoyed playgroup here at the shelter, but I can be protective of my food and some of my belongings, so having my very own space (and being your one and only!) would help me feel safe and secure.Because I didn’t have much structure early on, I’m still polishing up some basics like loose-leash walking and obedience skills. The good news? I’m smart, eager to learn, and would love the chance to train with you. It would be such a fun way for us to bond and grow together and help me become the very best companion I can be.More than anything, I’m ready to leave my past behind and start my next chapter- one filled with love, patience, and lots of cozy moments. Could that be with you? Come and meet me today!!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.
