Story
So named for his excited kangaroo hops, Buddy-Roo is a sweet young pup looking for a loving home just in time for Valentine's Day! This boy is calm and quiet in his kennel at the shelter but absolutely comes to life when he's in a yard - he just loves to be included! Like an uncoordinated toddler who hasn't figure out how to work his limbs, Buddy-Roo bounds around the play yard thoroughly entertaining himself with his antics. He's very curious about everything the world has to offer and is eager to learn how to be the best version of himself! He's quite the goofy guy who hasn't figured out how to play fetch yet but enjoys chasing his tail and tripping over his own legs. If your life is lacking laughter, Buddy-Roo is the answer! Come and meet this silly 'roo today!

Story
Ranger belonged to our son who became very ill and we are re-homing for him. We are thoroughly enjoying Ranger; however, we are anxious for him to develop a relationship with his new family. He needs a family with other pets and a yard to play - he loves playing outside. He is very loving and affectionate and loves his naps. He is not a dominant dog.

Story
Say hello to Ranger! Ranger is a bouncy husky looking for an active home where he can continue in his training quest to be an NBA dunk superstar - this boy has got some serious "ups" and can easily get some good air time! A 6ft fence has nothing on this athletic canine - Ranger views it as merely an obstacle to be conquered. He loves to play with dog friends, splash around in the water, and destroy stuffies - but he's also a huge love bug who relaxes calmly in his kennel when it's time for some R&R. Ranger actually has been at our shelter before and was adopted out by an owner who then left him behind after moving away. He was taken in by a friend but now, sadly, is looking for his "third-time's-the-charm" home as that owner's health has declined such that he can no longer care for him. Ranger loves affection, is working on his leash skills, and is ready to bounce his way into your heart! He would love a home with a dog sibling to play with and a human sibling or two would be the icing on his cake! If Ranger sounds like the adventure buddy you've been seeking, call the shelter to arrange to meet him. A handsome floof like him won't last long!

Superman in his own right, this boisterous and bouncy boy is looking for his new home after his previous owner moved away and left him behind.

Whether your life is missing a "spark" or you simply need a 4-legged friend to hold you accountable to those regular runs on the beach, Krypto may just be the one for you! Call us to meet him today!

Story
Hi, I'm Billy Boy, your perimeter patrolman extraordinaire! Toys aren't really my thing - I'm always on duty searching the yard and exploring new smells. I'm looking for a loving family who will take me on adventure walks and let me cuddle on the couch! Despite my spots, I identify more as a kangaroo than a leopard - when I get excited I bounce around the yard like Australia's finest! I'm not particularly happy being in the shelter and I'm ready to go home. Won't you give me a chance to be your "exotic" family member? Come visit with me and let me bounce my way into your heart!

Story
Hola Osita! This 6-yr old lady was adopted from us, along with her brother Oso, as a young pup. Sadly, they've both found their back to the shelter as their current owner no longer has time for them. Like typical small breeds, Osita and Oso aren't fans of the water, but they LOVE snuggling up against their humans in bed or on the couch (preferably in your lap). They're not fans of cats but do well with children and use their biggest and most ferocious sounding barks to defend their yard from any delivery drivers, passersby, or any other canines out for a walk - never fear! Osita and Oso have only ever known life together and need to be adopted as a pair, but that just means you get double the love! Call to meet Osita and her brother Oso and fill your home with two tiny amigos today!
