Story
** Available 8/19/26 for adoption ** Meet Maisie! 🐾 Hi, I'm Maisie! I was born in June, and I'm an independent little girl who knows what she likes. I'm happy doing my own thing, but I also love teaming up with my siblings for a good play session. I'm a go, go, go kind of pup until it's time to slow down. Then you'll find me curled up for snuggles, I'm an expert cuddler! I'm also learning to potty outside, and I'm doing a pretty great job. I'm playful, curious, and confident, with just the right mix of independence and affection. I can't wait to find the family that's meant for me. Maybe it's you! ❤️🐶

Story
🐾✨ Meet Missy (aka Miss Maizie) ✨🐾 ** Adoption Fee is SPONSORED ** Missy is a 2-year-old spayed female who we believe is a Lab/Border Collie mix—and 100% sweetheart. 💕 This girl is all about the soft life… couch cuddles, cozy blankets, and being as close to her people as possible. She’s the kind of dog who just melts into you and makes you wonder how you ever lived without her. Missy is still discovering how to “dog,” but she’s doing it beautifully. She’s incredibly well-mannered—crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s been nothing but gentle and loving with every person she’s met so far. She would prefer to be the only dog in the house and would likely do best in a home without cats—unless they’re very dog-savvy. Missy is truly something special… the kind of easy, loving companion that just fits right into your life. 💛 ✨ If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy and a wonderful family dog, Missy might be your perfect match.

Story
**Meet Teddy! 🐾❤️** **🎉 Adoption fee sponsored! 🎉** Teddy is a **2-year-old neutered male Bullmastiff mix** looking for a **foster, foster-to-adopt, or forever home!** Some dogs are memorable, and then there's Teddy. There's just something extra special about this sweet boy. After his morning adventure, he has the sweetest way of melting into his people for cuddles. Just like many of us need our morning coffee, Teddy needs his morning walk. His happy place is out on the trails, taking in the sights, smells, and peacefulness of nature. If you love hiking, exploring, or simply spending time outdoors, Teddy could be your perfect adventure partner. And once the adventure is over? He's more than happy to trade the trails for the couch and snuggle up beside you. Teddy is smart, athletic, and incredibly food motivated, making him a joy to train. He's eager to learn, picks up new skills quickly, and would love a family that enjoys continuing his training. Whether it's mastering new tricks, exploring new hiking trails, or trying a dog sport, Teddy is always ready for the next adventure. He's **house-trained and crate-trained**, although he'd much rather spend his time with his favorite people. Teddy gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a confident canine companion who matches his play style while continuing to help him polish his manners. Like many young dogs, Teddy has plenty of energy and thrives with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Because he's a large, enthusiastic boy, he'd do best in a home **without children**. He's also looking for a **cat-free home**. Teddy is the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you do. He's loyal, goofy, affectionate, and happiest when he's by your side. With a family committed to providing structure, consistency, and plenty of adventures, Teddy will continue growing into an incredible lifelong companion. Could Teddy be the missing piece your family has been waiting for? ❤️🐾

Story
Sequoia, affectionately known as Quoia, is a 7-year-old, 40 lb, spayed female Border Collie/Catahoula mix looking for a loving forever home. Quoia is a devoted, affectionate companion who thrives on being close to her person. Whether she's curled up beside you on the couch or joining you on a long hike, she's happiest simply being with the people she loves. She enjoys hiking, long walks, swimming, and exploring, making her a wonderful adventure buddy, but she's just as content spending hours snuggled up at home. She's very well trained, has excellent recall, and is eager to please. Quoia loves making her humans proud and responds well to positive attention and routine. Outside of the home, Quoia greets other dogs in a friendly and respectful manner, but prefers to rule the roost inside her home. Although she lives with another dog currently, she can be protective of food/toys and we feel she would be happiest as an only pet in an adult only home. She can be nervous around certain triggers, such as loud noises and even folding laundry, so she'll do best in a calm environment with patient, understanding adults who can help her feel safe and secure. Quoia's ideal home: One or two adults No children No other pets Country/relaxed setting Someone looking for a loyal, loving best friend Quoia has so much love to give. She's sweet, gentle, incredibly loyal, and deeply devoted to her people. She's looking for someone who will cherish her for the wonderful dog she is and give her the calm, loving home she deserves. If you're searching for a faithful companion to share adventures, quiet evenings, and unconditional love, Quoia could be the perfect match.

Meet Loup-Garou! Loup-Garou is a 7-month-old neutered male Border Collie mix weighing approximately 40 pounds. If you're looking for a hiking buddy and adventure partner, Loup is ready to be your new best friend! Whether it's hopping in the car for a mountain hike, exploring wooded trails, or running through open fields, he's happiest when he's out discovering the world with his people. Loup continues to make great progress with his leash manners and does especially well on wooded trails using a 50-foot long line. His oversized ears are impossible to miss—and they'll have him running your way the moment you reach for the treat bag! This smart young pup comes pre-programmed with "sit" and "down" and is already building an impressive foundation for future training. He's currently working on his "leave it" cue with treats on the floor and patiently waits for permission before eating his meals. When it's time to entertain himself, Loup has plenty of hobbies. He loves chasing a soccer ball, tossing his toys into the air, chewing sticks, and has developed quite the reputation as a determined bug hunter. Watching him patiently stalk an ant or June bug is guaranteed to make you smile. Loup is also excellent at relaxing when it's time to wind down. He happily settles into his crate or playpen for naps and quiet time and sleeps through the night without any issues. With a consistent bathroom routine, Loup is doing very well with house training. Accidents are uncommon and typically only happen if he isn't given a chance to go outside after meals or exciting events like visitors or energetic play sessions. As a social butterfly, Loup absolutely loves playing with other energetic dogs who enjoy chasing, wrestling, and rough-and-tumble games. He's still learning to recognize when another dog isn't interested in playing, so continued guidance is important. A home with another playful dog could be an excellent match, and regular opportunities for dog playdates or daycare would help keep him happy and fulfilled. Like many Border Collie mixes, Loup has strong herding instincts and would do best in a home without young children. Because he's still a young, enthusiastic puppy, Loup will thrive with an active family committed to helping him learn how to settle and relax after playtime. Once he's had his exercise and understands it's time to unwind, he's more than happy to curl up at your feet and soak up all the affection. Loup is an affectionate, intelligent, and endlessly entertaining companion who is ready to find an active home where he can continue learning, exploring, and loving life. For the right person or family, he'll be an incredible adventure partner and loyal best friend.

Story
Meet Lily! 💛 Lily is a 2.5-year-old spayed female shepherd/husky mix who absolutely LOVES her canine friends! In fact, she loves them so much that we are requiring a canine companion in her adoptive home. 🐾 Lily can be a little timid when out in public, but she gains confidence with a buddy by her side. She is currently working on improving her leash skills, and she is both house trained and crate trained (as long as she has a furry friend nearby). She has been staying in a room at our facility and has done wonderfully with her minimal freedom. She hasn’t been destructive or vocal, and despite being part husky, she didn’t inherit their famous talking skills! Lily is quiet and rarely makes a peep. 😊 One of Lily’s favorite things? Car rides! 🚗💨 If the car is moving, that window needs to be cracked so she can feel the wind on her nose. Lily isn’t a “snuggle-bug” who wants to curl up on the couch, but she does enjoy affection. She loves being stroked, accepts hugs, enjoys ear scratches, and absolutely melts for belly rubs. When she dances over and drops a toy at your feet, she’s asking you to play! Because of her timid nature, we feel Lily would thrive in an adult home with: 🐾 A calm environment with minimal traffic 🐾 A secure fenced yard 🐾 A confident canine friend to show her the world is a wonderful place
