Story
** ADOPTION FEE: $0 ** Lou is a young Border Collie mix who is smart, athletic, driven, and SO much fun. He’s looking for an active home that wants more than just a couch buddy — he wants a partner to adventure, train, and experience life with. - LOVES the water - Great potential for dog sports - Always ready for an adventure - Smart and loves having a job - Crate & house trained - Has been working hard on his manners and training - Dog friendly — he just likes to PLAY and can be a rough-and-tumble kind of guy! Lou does best with clear boundaries, consistency, and a routine. He’s a very smart boy, and structure helps keep him honest and sets him up for success. His future family will need to continue putting in the work his foster has started — and in return, they’re going to get one heck of a dog. 🚫 No young children 🚫 No cats — unless they’re looking for a full-time herding supervisor. This boy is ready for someone who understands working dogs and wants a dog they can truly DO things with. His adoption fee is sponsored. Now all he needs is someone to give him the home he’s been waiting for. ❤️

Story
🐾 MEET LULU! 🐾 Lulu is a 6-year-old, 30-lb spayed Beagle looking for a quiet home where she can do her own thing. ❤️ Lulu was initially bred as a trial/hunting dog and is an independent girl who enjoys her freedom. She is house-trained, free-range in the home, and used to having a dog door and fenced yard. She isn’t crate trained and would prefer a home where she doesn’t need to be crated. She is affectionate on her terms — especially in the morning! Otherwise, she’s perfectly happy hanging out by herself. She is food motivated but isn’t much of a fetch or ball dog. Lulu has lived with another dog, and although she’s initially shy, she warms up quickly to any friendly dog. She does miss having a playmate and it would be great if we could find one for her. She has not lived with cats or small animals, and because of her hunting background, we would be cautious about placing her with small animals. She hasn’t been around children and would likely do best in an adult-only home. Lulu will bark at strangers entering the home but does much better meeting people outside if the house. Lulu is looking for someone who appreciates an independent Beagle and will give her time, space, and a little patience. A secure fenced yard would be a big plus! 🐾❤️

Story
Meet Katherine! Katherine is a sweet hound mix puppy, born this past June, with the wrinkliest little forehead you've ever seen. She's a shy girl who takes some time to warm up to new people and places, but she has the sweetest nature, and once she knows you, she's a playful, affectionate companion who's just as happy wrestling with a toy as she is curling up next to you. She's usually pretty quiet, but when something isn't going her way (like a toy she can't reach or a couch she can't figure out how to get down from), she'll give it a piece of her mind. It's hard not to laugh. She's been doing fabulous with house training in her foster home and hasn't had a single accident. She's also building her confidence every day, and it's been so rewarding to watch her becoming braver each day. Katherine would do best in a calm, patient home. A mellow dog buddy would be great for her, but a home without young kids who run around would help her feel safe and settled. If you're looking for a sweet girl to share playtime and cozy fall cuddles with, Katherine is ready to be yours. She just needs someone willing to give her a little time to show you how wonderful she is.

Story
MEET GUNNAR! Gunnar is a happy, playful guy who’s ready to find his forever home! He is house trained AND crate trained, already knows how to sit, and is currently working on “stay.” Gunnar loves being outside, playing with other dogs, splashing around in the water, and—perhaps most importantly—TREATS! 🦴 He’s very food motivated, which makes continuing his training that much easier. His foster reports that he’s been a good boy in the house and hasn’t been chewing on things he shouldn’t. 🙌 Gunnar does have some resource guarding, so he is looking for an adult-only home without children where his family can understand his needs and help set him up for success. He’s happy, healthy, playful, dog-friendly, and just waiting for the right person to give him his forever.
