Story
Hi, I’m Bentley, a low-energy, big-hearted boy who’s been through a lot and is ready to find the person I can finally pour all my loyalty into. I may be shy at first, but once I trust you, I love curling up beside you, resting my head on you, and soaking up all the gentle affection you’ll give me. I settled into my foster home quickly, enjoyed having my own cozy space, and always did great in my crate. I’m not a fan of cats or sharing my home with other dogs—I get too focused on them—so I’m looking for a calm home where I can be your one and only. New people don’t worry me much, and my fosters said I was nothing but sweet, soft-eyed, and excited to see them every morning. I’m still learning to feel confident, to eat consistently, and to understand that I’m safe, but with patience and love, I’ll show you just how loyal and gentle I truly am. I’ve had a rough start, but I’m ready for my forever person—maybe that’s you.

Story
Gracie is a sweet 7-year-old girl looking for a fresh start. She was surrendered through no fault of her own, and her previous family described her as affectionate and loving. We’ve already seen that gentle, sweet side shine through here, and we’re still getting to know all the little things that make Gracie who she is. One thing we do know. She has some of the cutest ears around! Gracie is ready for a family who will cherish her just as much as she’ll adore them, a home where she can settle in, feel safe, and let her loving personality bloom.

Good with dogs,
Story
Hey, I’m Bruce, your friendly neighborhood escape artist. I’ve landed at the shelter a few times because I’ve got energy for days and I like to check out the world if nobody’s keeping an eye on me. What can I say? I just love life. I’m super outgoing, love snacks, and I make plenty of happy noises when I’m getting attention or playing with dog friends. I listen when people or other dogs tell me to tone it down, though. I’m affectionate, playful, talkative, and I walk pretty well on a leash. If you’ve got an active lifestyle and a place that can match my zest for adventure, I’m ready to be your guy.

Story
Tim the Tool Man Taylor! “More power!”, that’s Tim’s motto! This young, energetic pup is always revved up and ready for action. He’s got the enthusiasm of a man building a deck with three too many power tools and the charm to match. Tim is looking for a family that can keep up with his energy and help him channel all that “tool time” spirit into training and fun. He can be a little unsure when meeting new people, so his future family should take things slow and give him time to adjust. Once he feels comfortable, his fun-loving personality really starts to shine. With patience, guidance, and maybe fewer power tools, Tim will be the ultimate DIY project turned best friend.
