Story
Meet Harper. She is a 15 month old black Lab mix. Harper is loving, energetic, good with kids, good with dogs and cats, and house broken. Fixed and vaccinated. She is an excellent guard dog and completed beginner, intermediate, and advanced dog training. Harper is on track to become a service dog, ESA and/or therapy dog if you are interested in continuing training. Harper needs a nurturing home where she gets attention, and has room to run and play. Her only doggie issues are a little bit of alpha food aggression with other pups and chasing small game (squirrels and birds). I have been fostering her since September 2023, prior to that she was with a neighboring family that needed to rehome due to their busy schedule. If my kiddos and I did not suffer with allergies we would love to keep her because she is an amazing pup-pup. Let me know if you are interested.

Story
Meet Brownie! 🤎🤎 Are you looking for beauty, brains, and brawn all in one playful, affectionate pup? Brownie is your boy! Brownie is a younger adult male, estimated between 2-4 years old. He weighs in at 70 lbs of seemingly endless energy, and he loves to go on walks. He is very sweet with our volunteers! He loves to snuggle, and while he enjoys a good play session in the yard, he has never been inclined to play rough. Brownie can be dog-reactive on leash, and must be the only pet in the household. He is also recommended for a home with no young children (due to his size and energy levels). He would work best with an experienced dog handler who uses positive training techniques. https://ellijaypaws.org/dogsforadopt/brownie

Story
FURever home needed! Duncan (aka Uncle Dunk!) is a 3-year-old proud mutt! Our volunteers have nothing but good things to say about this guy. Duncan plays very well with other dogs. He was a perfect gentleman at the brewery last week. And he is famous for his love of his big red bone (free with adoption❤️). Duncan is neutered and fully vaccinated. He has a happy personality. Duncan is ready to settle down in a home of his own. He will make an excellent companion. Please help this boy go from homeless to home🥰🙏.

Story
He has been since July 21, 2021 TyTy is excellent on walks, neutered & up to date on his shots & while he truly is a sweetheart and friendly to all people, he would do best in a home where he’s the only pet. Shelter life has not been good for him and he desperately needs a home. We don’t want to see him check out & give up. We want to see him thrive in a kinder environment where he can give & receive love on a daily basis. He’s just too proud to be homeless!

Story
Could Durango be any more handsome?! Durango is a 2 year old, steel blue grey Pitbull Terrier. He was found as a stray so we do not have any information about his background. Durango has made a lot of progress learning to walk on a leash plus manners with our volunteers. Durango seems to be OK with other dogs, however, we would want to test him with any potential adopter dog during the meet and greet. Please share and help us get Durango out of the shelter. He has been waiting many, many months for his forever family to find him. He needs your help! 🙏💙 This happy boy deserves to be loved! Adopt Durango! https://ellijaypaws.org/dogsforadopt
