Story
Meet Sosa This handsome 8-year-old gentleman is truly a gentle giant. Sosa has a super sweet and calm demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. Because of his easygoing nature, we think he would likely do well with kids who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. We're also unsure about cats, and if there are feline friends in the home, very slow and patient introductions will be essential. Sosa is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines — he's ready to head home with his forever family! If you're looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Sosa just might be your perfect match. Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Athena – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Athena is a beautiful 3-year-old girl who is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccines. She's ready to find the patient, loving home she's been waiting for. Athena can be a little skittish when meeting new people and may need some extra time to feel safe and comfortable. She tends to warm up to women more quickly than men, but once you've earned her trust, you'll discover just how incredibly sweet and affectionate she truly is. This energetic girl is looking for an active family that can keep up with her zest for life. Whether it's long walks, hiking adventures, or plenty of playtime, Athena will happily be by your side. She would also benefit from continued training to help build her confidence and strengthen her bond with her new family. Athena is searching for a home with no cats and older children who can respect her need for patience as she settles in. She has been tested with a couple dogs here at the shelter and done well, she is still labeled dog selective and a dog test will be required. If you're willing to give Athena the time she needs, you'll gain a loyal, loving companion who will make every day brighter. Come meet Athena and see if she's the missing piece of your family!Interested in adopting?

We may not know much about his past, but we're getting to know this sweet boy—and we're pretty sure his future is going to be SO much brighter! Curry is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and 4DX negative! This handsome guy is: Super sweet & loving Energetic and very puppy-like. Playful and ready for fun Loves getting ALL the pets and belly rubs he can get Walks well on leash Would benefit from some training to help him learn his manners and become the best boy he can be! Curry can be a little nervous at first, but he opens up quickly once he realizes he's safe. Before long, he's looking for affection and soaking up every bit of attention he can get. We think Curry may do well with kids based on his sweet temperament, but we'd love for the whole family to come meet him to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels like a good match. As for other animals, we're still getting to know Curry. He has shown to be dog friendly with the testing done here at the shelter and a dog test will be required with any resident pups.

Story
Meet Daphne Daphne is a beautiful, energetic girl around 4 years old who's ready to find her perfect match! She thrives with bigger dogs and will require a dog test to ensure a good fit with any potential canine siblings. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, and has had a full 4DX test—negative across the board—so she's all set to start her next chapter healthy and strong. Daphne is looking for a home without cats. She's a high-energy pup who will do best with an active family that can keep up with her love for the outdoors—whether that's long walks, playtime in the yard, or adventures together. She absolutely adores toys and will happily keep herself (and you!) entertained. Because she can be a bit nervous with new things, Daphne would benefit from continued training to help build her confidence and learn boundaries. She would do best in a home with children 10+ who can respect her space while she settles in. Once she feels safe and comfortable, Daphne is incredibly affectionate and loving—she just needs a little time and patience to truly shine. If you're looking for a fun, active, and loyal companion, Daphne might just be your girl! Reach out to learn more or to meet Daphne!Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Leroy! Leroy is a 1-year-old, approximately 60-pound Pit Mix who is basically a giant puppy in a strong, 60-pound body! He is EXTREMELY playful, loves having fun, and has plenty of energy to keep his future family on their toes. Leroy is going to need an experienced dog owner who understands that young dogs need guidance, structure, training, and plenty of patience. He is still learning his manners and boundaries and doesn't always realize that he is a BIG boy! His previous owner says he is good with kids, but his extra playful and pushy puppy personality can sometimes be a little much. Because of his size and energy, we will require the whole family to come meet him. An active family would be ideal for Leroy—someone ready to give him exercise, mental stimulation, training, and all the outlets a young, energetic dog needs. We think this goofy guy has a LOT of potential with the right person willing to put in the work! Leroy hasn't been around many other dogs, so we're still getting to know how he feels about canine friends. A dog test will be required with any dogs currently in the home. We have no idea of him with cats and we think extreme caution and super slow and patient introductions is best to make sure everyone is comfy. The good stuff? Leroy is crate trained, calm and well-behaved in the car, and is perfectly okay with being bathed and brushed. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. Leroy isn't looking for someone who expects a perfectly polished dog right away. He's looking for someone who sees the goofy, playful young dog underneath the rough edges and is ready to teach him how to be the best version of himself. If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a fun, active companion and you're ready for a little training, a LOT of play, and plenty of personality, Leroy may be your guy! Interested in adopting?
