Story
I've had Willow for 2 and half years and I love her so much. She's the sweetest dog when it comes to people. She loves kids and was originally in a family where she could run around with them. Shes a cuddle bug and likes to lay in bed. I'm upset with myself for being in a situation where I have to rehome her but we had an incident with another dog and I'm going to have to put her down if I can't rehome her. If I can't find someone willing to adopt I am going to be desperate for somebody to foster her so I can focus on this other dog. She absolutely cannot be around other dogs and she does resource gaurd, but has zero aggression when it comes to people.

Story
Meet Boo Dawg!Boo Dawg is a one-year-old cattle dog mix with the sweetest, most endearing look you’ll ever see. He’s usually pretty quiet in his kennel, happily lounging on his bed with his little tongue peeking out — a result of his uniquely shaped mouth that doesn’t quite close all the way. It makes for constant, adorable photo ops and adds to his undeniable charm.Boo Dawg is dog friendly and enjoys canine companionship, but big crowds and lots of people can feel overwhelming for him. He’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace and help build his confidence. With time and gentle guidance, he shows his soft, loyal personality and is sure to blossom in a calm, loving home.He is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, and ready to find someone who will love him just the way he is — tongue out and all.

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 has done well with both female and male dogs with a slow and proper intro. 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 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.
