Story
~DOB: 11/1/2020 Weight: 65lbs Energy level: moderate Overall drive: low Location: Great Falls, MT Ugo is the definition of a lovable, goofy “old soul” with a face that will melt you on sight. If he were human, he’d be that quiet, rugged outdoorsman with equal parts protector of kids and fishing buddy superhero. Despite missing a rear leg, Ugo doesn’t let anything slow him down. He keeps up just fine on adventures and is happiest soaking in the outdoors with his person. Whether it’s hiking a trail or casting a line by the water, Ugo is all in. He absolutely adores men and would thrive with a male handler who enjoys an active, outdoorsy lifestyle. Ugo is sweet, affectionate, and a bit of a goofball, though he can get mouthy when overstimulated; especially when competing for attention. With clear, consistent guidance, he responds well to simple corrections and is already working hard on improving his manners. Ugo has excellent house manners and is crate trained, non-destructive, and rides well in the car. He’s polite with new people, great with kids, and selective with dogs (best with non-dominant companions). No livestock, please. He’s not much for toys yet, but treats and companionship? That’s his love language. Ugo’s ideal home is one where he can be your loyal sidekick, especially if that includes fresh air, open water, and a best friend to share it all with.

Story
~DOB: 1/1/2023 Weight: 65 lb Energy level: moderate Overall drive: moderate Location: Snohomish, WA Candi is the kind of dog who quietly works her way into your heart and never leaves. She has a naturally gentle, intuitive spirit, and she’s always checking in to make sure you’re okay. Whether she’s leaning in for soft hugs, curling up beside you, or trotting happily at your side, Candi brings a calm, comforting presence that feels like home. She’s wonderfully social with both people and dogs, striking that perfect balance between friendly and easygoing. She can be a little thoughtful when meeting new people and will sometimes showing a hint of uncertainty but she processes the world with grace and has never shown anything beyond curiosity. With a bit of reassurance, she settles in beautifully. Candi is equal parts sweet and goofy. Her zoomies will make you laugh, and her love of food and affection makes her a joy to bond with and train. She already knows some basics and is working diligently to perfect even more skills. With her food motivation and desire to connect, she has so much potentials, pecially for someone looking for a deeply connected companion, or even a future therapy or service dog. In the home, she’s affectionate, a little clingy in the best way, and happiest just being near her person. She’ll need some guidance with counter surfing (she really loves snacks), but she’s otherwise well-mannered and eager to please. Candi would thrive in a home that values connection, consistency, and kindness. If you’re looking for a dog who truly feels you and one who will be your shadow, your comfort, and your quiet joy - Candi is waiting. Photo credit: T. Ericson

Story
Meet Piper – Your Loyal, Playful Companion! Piper is a 1.5-year-old, 65-pound sweetheart living in Portland, OR. With a calm, playful personality and a heart full of love, she’s happiest when she’s near her people—with a toy in her mouth and a smile on her face. She’s affectionate, confident, and friendly with both people and animals. Piper does great with cats, most dogs, and even livestock (though chickens may need supervision). She loves playing with dog friends, and while she’s still learning how to manage her excitement on leash, she’s making great progress. Piper is house-trained, not destructive, and enjoys car rides, swimming, and outdoor adventures. She’s food-motivated, knows basic commands, and is working on her leash manners. She gives the best welcome-home hugs—standing on her back legs to nuzzle your face like she missed you all day. Her ideal home? A calm environment with someone home most of the time, maybe with another dog and room to roam. She’d thrive with an outdoorsy person or couple who’ll take her hiking or swimming. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Piper is ready to be your new best friend.

Story
DOB: 12/23/2023 Weight: 62 lbs Energy level: High Overall drive: High Location: Salt Lake City, UT Meet Niyah: part detective, part shadow, part chaos goblin, and 100% devoted to her person. This stunning girl may take a minute to decide you’re worthy of her inner circle, but once you’re in? You’re in. Niyah is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in absolutely everything you do like cooking dinner, bathroom trips, opening the fridge, existing in general. Personal space? Never heard of it. Niyah is incredibly intelligent, highly trainable, and thrives when given a job to do. Tug toys, balls, treats, training sessions - she lives for it all. Her signature move is weaving between your legs when she wants attention, reassurance, or simply thinks you’ve stopped petting her for far too long. She’s goofy, affectionate, intense, and hilariously nosy about everything happening around her. She’s fully house and crate trained (“Go to Holland” sends her happily to her crate), knows an impressive list of commands, and has excellent off-leash check-ins with her person. Niyah would excel in scentwork, sport work, or any home that enjoys training and engaging with their dog beyond just walks. Her ideal home is active, structured, and committed to giving her both mental and physical stimulation. She’d love a human who works from home or takes her along for adventures. No cats or small animals for this girl. If you’ve been looking for a fiercely loyal sidekick with brains, personality, and enough enthusiasm to keep life interesting, Niyah is waiting.
