Story
I’ve known Rocky since he was a puppy. My sister originally got him, but when she was no longer able to care for him, I took him in. He is now 2 years old and weighs about 14 pounds. He is potty trained, very friendly, and loves being around people. He’s incredibly smart, learns quickly, and knows some tricks. He has a playful, high-energy personality and loves games, walks, and activities that keep him busy. One of his favorite things is being around other dogs. He loves to play and socialize with them, and I think he would do best in a home that already has another friendly dog to be his companion. I’m looking for a loving, stable home where he’ll be treated like part of the family. Ideally, his new owner will have the time and energy to give him regular exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. This is a very difficult decision for me. I’m rehoming him because I’m moving, and unfortunately my new living situation does not allow dogs. If I had another option, I would keep him.

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
This is Winston! We love Winston so so much, but he has not adjusted well to us having kids and where we just had a second, we are looking for a new home for him to hopefully relieve some of his stress. Winston is a super cool dog who loves being active and being in the mountains. He loves to rock climb, play in water, and makes an amazing running partner. We’ve done a lot of professional training with him, and he is literally the smartest dog we know. He is a border collie/kelpie mix. Despite being 8 years old, he is still a high energy dog because of his double herding breed.He will be amazing in a home with no kids or older kids, and with a family who loves to be active and go on adventures. We also believe he would be great on a ranch with livestock. Ultimately he needs a home that is a lot less stimulating than ours is at the moment. The constant excitement that comes with young kids has made it hard for him to relax. We are willing to travel for a good home!

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
