Story
Meet Forks, a 5-year-old Pitbull/Lab mix with a big heart, a goofy personality, and the cutest happy-dog energy. When he first arrived, Forks had a noticeable scar on the back of his neck — a quiet reminder that his past wasn’t always kind. But despite that, after a week decompressing, he was able to come out with staff and show a desire to connect with the people around him.Now that he’s comfortable with staff, Forks has fully revealed his silly, playful, lovable side. He’s the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying. Whether he’s wiggling with excitement or being a total ham for attention, he’s all joy.Forks tends to prefer female dogs, and with the right match, he could enjoy a canine companion. He would also do well with dog-savvy kids who understand how to be gentle and respectful with a big, affectionate dog.He’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he’s so ready to find the home he’s always deserved — one where he can be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the sweet, goofy boy he is.If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion with a heart as big as his smile, Forks can’t wait to meet you.

Story
Meet Luna, a gentle 9-year-old Husky/Staffy mix who is brand new to the shelter and still finding her footing in this unfamiliar place. With her soft eyes and quiet spirit, it’s clear that Luna is a sweetheart — she’s just a little shy right now as she works on coming out of her shell.As we get to know her, one thing is already certain: Luna deserves a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood. She’s a senior girl who would much rather be curled up with someone she trusts than spending her days in a kennel.If you have space in your heart for a tender, reserved dog who’s hoping for a second chance, come meet Luna. Your kindness could help her blossom — and keep her shelter stay a short one. This lovely senior is ready for the warmth of a real home.

Story
Ruby is 4 years-old. We adopted her two months ago with the intention to train her to be our son's service dog. She is trainable. In the time we have had her we have trained her to obey the commands, sit, stay, She uses one area in our back yard for her potty needs and she leaves the kitchen when someone is preparing food. She's not perfect, she will steal your food given a chance. She has a very mellow temperament. Likes people a lot. When she first meets someone she is excited, but will calm down quickly. She is kennel trained, she goes to sleep at night and does not make a sound all night while in her kennel. Her hair is curly when grown out. She recently had a grooming and we had it cut short just to make sure any knots were maintained. We recently learned that our son has allergies to her and that is the reason we are rehoming. Her previous owners relocated and couldn't take her back, so they trusted me with finding her a great forever home.

Story
Meet Forest, a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle heart that’s still learning how to trust the world. Life hasn’t always been easy for him, and people are still a little scary—but with patience, kindness, and the comfort of a calm home, Forest is already showing that he can blossom.Now settling into a foster home, Forest is experiencing what it’s like to be a loved pet for the first time. He watches everything quietly, taking cues from the dogs around him. Other dogs are his safe place—he clings to them for confidence, follows their lead, and truly relaxes when he’s in their company. A friendly, steady canine companion will help him continue to grow.At the shelter, Forest surprised everyone with his bravery. He enjoyed rides in a stroller, where he felt secure enough to peek out and observe the world. Little by little, he even started taking gentle walks on leash, showing just how much possibility lies beneath his timid exterior.Forest is searching for a loving adopter who understands that trust takes time. He needs someone willing to move at his pace, offer space when he needs it, and celebrate every small step forward. With patience and a quiet, supportive home—especially one with another dog—Forest will keep coming out of his shell.If your heart has room for a shy dog with enormous potential, Forest is ready to begin that journey with you.

Story
Meet Vampira, a 9-year-old Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix with a heart of gold and the best crooked-tooth smile you’ll ever see. Her grin alone could win anyone over, but it’s her sweet temperament and gentle spirit that truly make her shine.Vampira is a dog-friendly superstar — in fact, she’s often used as a neutral dog during dog testing at the shelter because of her calm, steady presence. Around other dogs, her fun, playful personality really comes out. She loves to romp, mingle, and enjoy good company, and she’d be thrilled to have a canine buddy in her new home (though she’d be just as happy soaking up love from her people).At 9 years old, Vampira is the perfect mix of mellow and ready-for-adventure: she’d enjoy a daily walk, some gentle playtime, and then a soft, cozy bed to curl up on. She’s looking for an adopter who wants a loyal companion by their side — someone who appreciates a loving dog with a quirky smile and a calm, joyful energy.If you’re searching for an affectionate, dog-savvy sweetheart to complete your home, Vampira is ready to steal your heart.
