Story
Meet Snow! At 120 pounds, Snow may be big in size, but he’s even bigger in heart. This Great Pyrenees is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. With his calm, loving nature, Snow is happiest when he’s by your side, offering quiet companionship and a whole lot of love. Snow is a big teddy bear—though he doesn’t quite know his size! He may be huge, but he’s all softness and affection, leaning into the people he loves as if he were a lapdog. He also has a playful streak. Snow loves his pig ears and enjoys spending time with other dogs. While he sometimes comes across as a little pushy in play, it’s all in good fun, and he gets along well with canine friends. Long walks are another favorite of his; whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or just hanging out in the yard, Snow thrives on being with his people. Despite his size, he’s a true softie at heart. Snow is looking for a family who will appreciate both his gentle spirit and his goofy side. If you’re searching for a loyal, loving companion who will be your best friend through thick and thin, Snow might just be the one.

Story
Fauna is a 9-month-old smooth Collie mix with a heart as big as her smile! Weighing in at 46 lbs, she’s the perfect blend of cuddly companion and playful sidekick. Sweet, friendly, and full of energy, Fauna makes fast friends with every dog she meets and absolutely adores children. She’s still learning her boundaries, but her love is 100% genuine. She’s crate trained, very treat motivated, and picks up new commands quickly—making her an absolute joy to train. She’s already mastered sit, down, spin, stay, come, leave it, and shake! This bright, affectionate pup would thrive in almost any active home where she can keep learning, playing, and being the lovable goofball she is. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun-loving companion, Fauna is the perfect one for you!

Story
Meet Benson! Benson is a 3-year-old, 60-lb Rottweiler/Retriever mix with the sweetest heart and the softest fur. He’s the definition of loyal — happiest just being near his people with his muzzle resting gently in your hand or leaning in for pets. 🥹 This handsome guy loves fetch, walks, and a good Benebone to chew on. When playtime’s over, he’s all about cuddles and couch time. He’s house trained, walks nicely on leash, and even does great for baths! Benson is the perfect mix of playful and easygoing — a fluffy cuddle bug who just wants to love and be loved. If you’re looking for a companion who’ll love you to the moon and back, Benson’s your guy. 🌙🐾

Story
Say hello to Mike, the 3-year-old, 60 lb Labrador Retriever mix who never goes anywhere without his favorite toy. If you spot a dog proudly trotting around with a stuffie in his mouth… it’s probably Mike. He’s the full package — affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s close to his people. Whether you’re headed out for a drive or settling in on the couch, Mike is right there with you. He rides beautifully in the car, takes baths like a gentleman, and is fully house trained. Mike prefers slow introductions with other dogs and would do best in a home without small animals, but with humans? He’s all in. If you’ve been waiting for a snuggly, toy-toting best friend, Mike might be the one.

Story
Here's what my friends at the shelter had to say about me! “This dude is so cute! He’s a big-headed pittie who’s going to be absolutely stunning once his skin heals. It’s clear he’s been through a lot — he has scars on his face — but he was still so sweet and full of love. His tail never stopped wagging the entire time he was out! He greeted everyone we passed with a wiggly body and the happiest attitude, and he sat perfectly for treats, taking them so gently. He did great meeting another dog, though slow intros will be important since he may have been in a fight before. He’d likely do best with a submissive friend. I loved him so much and hope he makes it out to heal, love, and keep that tail wagging forever.”
