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.

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 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.
