Story
Shadow is a loyal, loving 3-year-old boy looking for the right forever home. He forms strong bonds with his people and is very devoted to the humans he trusts. He can be cautious when meeting new people and will need a little time and patience to adjust, but once he gets to know you, he's incredibly affectionate and protective of his family. He **does not get along well with other dogs**, so he needs to be the only dog in the home. He would do best in a **quiet home with no children and few people**, where he can feel secure and build trust at his own pace. Because of his protective nature, an experienced owner who understands dogs that need slower introductions and a calm, structured environment would be the best fit. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and we're committed to finding him a home where he'll be safe, understood, and loved. He has so much love and loyalty to give the right person.

Story
Meet the Big Hunk a sweet treat little treat from the Candy Bar Litter! This adorable pup and four siblings came into the world with a tough start — their brave mama was tragically hit by a car. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan found the babies and made sure they were safe. From there, they made the journey from New Mexico to Utah in search of loving forever homes. Big Hunk may have had a rough start in life but you’d never know it by that happy tail and gentle spirit. He’s full of puppy joy — belly rubs, zoomies, and snuggles are his specialties. Like all young pups, he’s learning the ropes of life, and his wonderful foster family is helping him discover just how amazing people can be. He’s wiggly, sweet, and adores attention — the kind of puppy who melts into your arms and makes every day brighter. While we’re still waiting for her Embark DNA results (thanks to our friends at Ollie Pet Food!), we already know one thing for sure: he is 100% delightful. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to fill your home with joy, laughter, and puppy kisses, this Big Hunk may be your perfect match. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:10 pm

Story
Meet Mama Zena — The Playful, Loving Shepherd Mix Zena is a gorgeous 1–2 year old shepherd mix, weighing about 45 lbs, with a heart as big as her energy. She is smart, eager to please, and already has some great basics down — she’s potty trained, leash trained, knows “sit” and “lay down,” and has excellent recall. This fun-loving girl is all about fetch, squeaky toys, and anything that bounces. After a good play session, she turns into a total snuggle bug who wants nothing more than to curl up with her humans. Zena is currently in foster care with one of her daughters and a senior dog, and she plays beautifully with both. She has shown a little bit of resource guarding, but with consistency, structure, and reassurance, she continues to improve every day. Zena would thrive in an active home that’s ready for adventure, training, and lots of love. She’s sweet, smart, and so ready for her forever family. If you're looking for a playful companion with a loyal heart, Mama Zena is your girl.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:10 pm

Story
Meet The Fish (aka Fish) Don't let the name fool you—The Fish is 100% puppy, 100% adorable, and 1,000% fun! Named after the famous Santa Fe coffee shop Henry & The Fish, this little guy made the journey from New Mexico with his brother Henry in search of the perfect forever family. Fish is the life of the party. This silly little man is built low to the ground with the cutest stubby profile, making every zoomie, bounce, and pounce even more entertaining. (His DNA results are pending, but whatever breeds are in there clearly got the recipe just right!) His favorite things in the world? A game of tug, chasing a tennis ball, and making everyone around him laugh. Fish is always ready for the next adventure, whether it's romping around the yard, playing with his dog friends, or inventing a new game all on his own. When playtime is over, Fish is more than happy to soak up affection from his favorite people. He's an affectionate, happy-go-lucky puppy with a joyful spirit that's impossible to resist. Fish is up-to-date on his age-appropriate vaccinations and is ready to find a family who will help him continue learning, exploring, and living his very best puppy life. If you're looking for a best friend with a big personality packed into an adorable little low-rider body, The Fish is ready to swim straight into your heart.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 18, 2026, 11:32 am

Story
11 PUPPIES. 11 FOREVER FAMILIES NEEDED. Our National Parks Litter is officially ready to trade farm life for FOREVER life — and we cannot believe these sweet babies are still waiting! These puppies are the whole package. They’re playful, affectionate, adventurous, and ridiculously lovable. They’ve been growing up on a farm, so they’re used to all the sights, sounds, and animals that come with it. Chickens wandering around? No big deal. They LOVE to run. They LOVE to play. They LOVE the water. And when the adventures are over, they’re ready for cuddles with their people. Mama Penny has already figured out the good life — including picking her favorite kid to sleep with — and now it’s her babies’ turn. All 11 puppies are current on age-appropriate vaccines and READY TO GO HOME! Somewhere out there are 11 families who are going to wonder how they ever lived without these pups. Maybe yours is one of them. Adopt a National Parks puppy. Take them on adventures. Give them a spot on your couch. Let them pick their favorite kid. And give them the happily-ever-after they’ve been waiting for. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 18, 2026, 11:32 am
