Story
✨ Meet Hermione! ✨ Just like her magical namesake, Hermione is the perfect mix of sweetness, curiosity, and quiet confidence. This gorgeous chocolate-colored girl is clever, observant, and always paying attention to what’s going on around her — especially if it involves treats, toys, or someone offering belly rubs. Hermione is still learning all about love, comfort, and what it means to be part of a family. Once she feels safe, she warms up with the sweetest snuggles and gentle affection. She’s thoughtful (and maybe just a tiny bit dramatic when it comes to waiting her turn), but she’s also incredibly kind, loyal, and eager to bond with her people. Whether she’s exploring new places, trotting around with her siblings, or sitting politely waiting for attention like the brilliant girl she is — Hermione is pure magic. ✨ If you’re looking for a loving companion who will steal your heart and become your little sidekick, Hermione just might be the one. 🪄 Apply online — or stop by Tuesday–Saturday, 10–5, to meet this sweet girl in person!

Story
🐾 Meet Gracie 🐾 Age: 6 years | Weight: 104 lbs | Breed: Rottweiler Gracie is a big girl with an even bigger heart. This sweet, soulful Rottie has perfected the art of lounging — she loves nothing more than curling up on a cozy couch or dog bed after a short walk or a ride in the car (which she LOVES). 🚗🧸 She’s housetrained, leash-trained, knows her basic commands, and is happy to quietly hang out in the office all day like a true professional. Gracie is well-mannered, affectionate, and thrives with structure and calm energy. ✅ Good with medium to large dogs (with proper intro) ✅ Housetrained & leash trained ✅ Office dog approved ✅ Total stuffed animal enthusiast Gracie does have arthritis, so she's looking for a home where she can enjoy her golden years at a relaxed pace. She’s not a fit for homes with cats (she’s afraid of adult cats) or kittens (she sees them as snacks 😬), but she will make the most loyal and loving companion in a cat-free, calm household. She occasionally barks to say hello or let you know someone’s around — just enough to be charming, not overwhelming. Could this gentle giant be the perfect fit for your life?

Story
Meet Sabrina – A Gentle Spirit Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾 Sabrina is the kind of dog who makes you believe in soulmates. With her warm eyes and gentle heart, she has a way of making everyone she meets feel special. She loves to play—a good toy toss or a game of chase will always bring out her happy wiggles—but she’s just as content to curl up beside you for some quiet time and snuggles. What makes Sabrina truly shine is her balance of energy and affection. She’s spirited enough to enjoy walks, adventures, or backyard playtime, yet calm enough to savor lazy afternoons by your side. Sabrina is also incredibly food-motivated, which makes her a quick and eager learner—always ready to show off her progress for a tasty reward. Sabrina comes fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained, giving her a wonderful head start in her forever home. She’s attended professional training to polish her manners and skills, and she’s making fantastic strides. With her combination of smarts, structure, and sweetness, she’s ready to slot right into a loving routine. Beyond her playful spirit and training, Sabrina’s greatest gift is the way she bonds with her people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she’s included in daily life—whether that’s morning coffee on the porch, an afternoon walk, or a cozy movie night. She’s also a big fan of “doggie days out,” especially when a pup cup is involved! Sabrina has been patiently waiting for the right family to notice her. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will fill your days with love, laughter, and loyalty, Sabrina is ready to meet you. 💛 Sabrina’s Ideal Home: 💫 Best as the only dog (no cats, please) 🎓 Professionally trained and eager to please 🐶 Fully vetted, kennel trained, and leash trained ☀️ Loves outings, pup cups, and quality time with her people ❤️ Does best with structure, affection, and companionship
