Meet Coco, the hilarious and cute pooch who's just bursting with personality! This big lady is on a mission to lose a few pounds, but that doesn't stop her from being one of the most affectionate and friendly dogs you'll ever meet. Believe me when I say that she can be quite playful and smart when she wants to be, and will always greet you with a wagging tail. She is a true foodie who would do anything for a treat, so you might want to consider using treats as a training tool (after her weight loss journey, of course). As for her energy, she's the best of both worlds - she loves a good run around the yard, but also enjoys a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Oh, did I mention that she's a total sweetie pie? She really is a charming girl, and I just know that she would be the perfect addition to your family. So, if you're looking for a new BFF who will love you forever, Coco is the one for you!

Story
Champ is a wonderful adult dog with a charming personality. He came from a bad situation where he lived with five other dogs, so he is very comfortable with other canines. In fact, he is so friendly that he would be an excellent addition to a home with other dogs or cats. Champ is a smart and curious dog who loves to explore and play. He is always eager to make new friends, whether they are human or animal. He would be an ideal companion for those who are looking for a furry friend that will be loyal and loving. Given Champ's history, he would do best in a home without small children, as he has not had experience in that environment. If you are a family with older children or are looking for a new fur baby for yourself, Champ would love to meet you! If you think you could give this sweet boy a loving home, please come and meet him today.

Story
Meet Josie. Josie came to us with over 100 animals from a cruelty case over 3 years ago. After 1,045 days, we FINALLY gained ownership of them in December of 2024! Merry Christmas to us!! After so long of only having our staff every day, they’re extremely timid. They can be nervous & scared when meeting new people, so a few meetings are required. She has so much love to give, she’s just scared of new things. She has a lot of confidence-building that she needs to work on, and she needs someone who’s willing to work with her and has that patience. We know that there is a special someone out there who has the compassion and understanding of the life she’s lived before coming to us.

Story
Patty, our deserving girl, is searching for a loving forever home where she can finally be the queen. This sweet 5-year-old was surrendered after a difficult past, having been bred every heat cycle. Now, it's Patty's time to shine! For three long years, she's patiently waited for a family to call her own. While she might be a bit vocal with new faces, a simple treat is the key to unlocking her affectionate heart. Patty thrives as the only pet, relishing being the center of attention. She's perfectly housebroken, adores walks, and has a playful spirit, especially when tennis balls or sticks are involved. If you're looking for a goofy, loyal companion, Patty is ready to bring her unique charm to your life and finally experience the joy she truly deserves.
