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
She is a 2½-year-old black Lab who is incredibly sweet, loving, and full of energy. She loves being around people and has a lot of love to give. I am looking to rehome her because I’m moving into an apartment and unfortunately don’t have the time or space to give her the exercise, attention, and training she deserves. She is very energetic, playful, curious, and extremely food-motivated. She does have some separation anxiety and will need an owner who is willing to continue working with her on training. She loves to chew, especially socks, and she has been known to climb onto counters if there is food within reach. She is still young and has a lot to learn, but she is a very sweet and loving dog. I think she would do best with an active person or family who has the time to exercise her, give her plenty of attention, and provide some structure and consistent training. More than anything, I want to find her a loving home with someone who has the time for her.

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

Meet Rue (aka Chicken) ❤️ Border Terrier Mix | 3 Years Old | Fully Vetted Some dogs walk right into your heart. Others quietly tiptoe in... and somehow leave an even bigger footprint. Meet Rue, affectionately known as Chicken, a darling little Border Terrier mix with the sweetest soul you'll ever meet. Rue is a gentle, sensitive girl who is looking for a family that understands that trust isn't rushed—it's earned. Rue is naturally shy and appreciates having plenty of space to settle in at her own pace. She isn't fearful in a reactive way; she simply takes her time deciding that the world is a safe place. Once she does, you'll discover what makes her so special. She loves being near her person, whether it's quietly lying beside you while you read or following you from room to room. She's affectionate in her own quiet way and prefers to choose when she's ready for cuddles. Giving Rue the freedom to come to you is the quickest way to earn her heart. Rue gets along wonderfully with other dogs, who often help boost her confidence, and she walks beautifully on a leash. She would love a patient home that enjoys peaceful walks, cozy evenings, and celebrating the little victories that come with watching a shy dog blossom. At just 3 years old, Rue is fully vetted and ready to begin the next chapter of her life with someone who will love her exactly as she is. Rue's Perfect Home: Patient and understanding family Willing to let her warm up at her own pace Great with other dogs Walks beautifully on a leash Gentle, quiet environment where she can build confidence Fully vetted and ready for her forever family The greatest gift you can give Rue is time. In return, she'll give you something truly priceless—the quiet, unwavering love of a dog who chose to trust you with her whole heart.
