Story
This stunning 5-year-old Orange Belton English Setter is ready to find a family that understands him. He’s a big boy at about 70 lbs and while we know he is an English Setter, we can only speculate about his bloodlines because of his larger size. Augie is a smart, independent, treat-motivated boy who picks up on training quickly. But he’ll need an adopter with expertise and patience to help him build confidence, especially in new situations. Here’s what makes Augie special:  Low prey drive – no lizard or squirrel-chasing chaos here!  Companions  – he is ok with the company of female dogs his size but honestly people are his favorite, and he doesn’t need another dog in his forever home.  Yard enthusiast – a good-sized, securely fenced yard (6’ fencing) is important for his playtime.  Timid but willing – he may start off a little nervous, but with time, he’ll blossom into a devoted companion. Augie is searching for a kind and experienced adopter who will guide him with love, consistency, and patience. Because of his size and enthusiasm for his people, he’s looking for a home without children or older folks who might be accidentally knocked about by his affectionate nature. Could that be you? Apply today and give this sweet boy the home he’s been waiting for!  April 13, 2025, 7:35 pm

Story
Meet Denali! Denali is a 6&#226&#128&#145year&#226&#128&#145old neutered male English Setter with a gentle heart and a naturally happy spirit. He’s almost always wagging his tail, even when he’s unsure of new situations. Once he feels safe, his affectionate side shines through. Denali has formed a strong bond with his foster mom but has been slow to learn that other people can be safe and kind too. With new visitors, Denali prefers to keep his distance and may bark from afar, but he does not show fear aggression. His instinct is simply to retreat when he feels overwhelmed. Denali is still building confidence with everyday experiences like wearing a halter, exploring new rooms, and going in and out of the house. His foster mom is helping him practice calmly and consistently, and he’s beginning to understand that these things aren’t so scary. Walks are a future goal for him, and he’s taking the first steps toward that milestone. Denali loves gentle affection from his foster mom and happily wags his tail whenever she looks his way. He enjoys playing with the resident golden retriever, who is similar in size, and he shares toys well with the other dogs in the home. He’s tall and slender for an English Setter, with a graceful build. It took him some time to feel comfortable entering the bedroom, but now he sleeps peacefully on the floor at night. Every once in a while, he surprises his foster mom by hopping onto the bed when he thinks she won’t notice—he’s still deciding how he feels about that privilege. Denali has a strong interest in squirrels and will stand on his hind legs to watch them in the trees, barking enthusiastically at his unreachable “friends.” In the yard, he usually comes when called. He loves soft toys and also enjoys chewing on sturdier bones. Denali shows no food aggression and is comfortable sharing space and toys with other dogs. Denali is a very sweet, sensitive, and happy dog who will thrive with someone patient, gentle, and committed to helping him build confidence at his own pace. He will do best in a calm home with people who can slowly introduce him to new experiences—new rooms, new people, new animals, and new equipment like halters or collars. With time, trust, and consistency, Denali will blossom into a deeply loyal companion. December 25, 2025, 12:17 pm

Story
This sweet girl was pulled from a high kill shelter with her sister right before the cold weather hit. The facility reached out to us and we couldn't say no. A cold kennel is no place for a 7 lb puppy. The girls are so sweet and affectionate, they love toys and love to snuggle. Aspen loves her belly rubbed but is also a very active little girl and will keep you on your toes, but she promises to be a couch potato as needed too. Aspen can be a bit shy with new people, but would make a great, loyal companion. If interested in meeting Aspen please email us.

Story
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Freddie and Chucky were found by a good samaritan in a box by some community mailboxes, right before Halloween. They were only 5-6 weeks old and could barely eat real food. After getting rid of all their fleas and a good meal of gruel, they began the road to a new life. It took some time to get rid of all the parasites they had inside of them, but we did not give up. Now, healthy and happy and ready to meet the world, Freddie and Chucky wait for you. They are super playful, affectionate active little boys. They love playing with other dogs and toys. Though they cannot leave until they are neutered, we are accepting applications on them. Please email us if interested.
