Story
Zima is a loving, intelligent Belgian Malinois who enjoys fetch, daily walks, and cuddling with her people. She has excellent recall, is fully house-trained, and does not need to be kenneled. She's affectionate, eager to learn, and thrives with exercise, structure, and gentle, consistent training. Zima can be anxious around unfamiliar dogs and may bark at runners or cyclists, but she is not aggressive and responds well to reassurance. She does well with older children and will need slow introductions to other pets. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and her vet recommends anti-anxiety medication for grooming, vet visits, and long car rides. Serious inquiries only. Preference will be given to adopters with Belgian Malinois or other high-drive working breed experience. She deserves an active, patient, and loving forever home. She is temporarily in my care and has been striving well with myself and 11 year old son, but unfortunately we cannot keep her long term.

Story
🐾 Pick Me! I’m Ready for My Forever Adventure! 🐾 Hi! I’m the sweet, energetic guy with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! ❤️ I’m a people dog through and through. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will happily be by your side, I’m your guy! I love being outside, going on adventures, soaking up attention, and making the most of every minute with my people. I would LOVE a securely fenced yard where I can run, play, explore, and interact with my family. 🌳🐾 But there’s one important thing you should know—I don’t want to be sent outside by myself! I want my people out there with me. A fenced yard would be wonderful for playtime, games, and adventures together, but I’m happiest when I have my humans to share it with. ❤️ I’m also dog-friendly and wouldn’t mind having a playful canine friend, but truthfully, my favorite place is wherever my people are. 🥰 I’m looking for a special family who understands that I’m a big, enthusiastic boy with lots of energy. I need daily exercise, structure, consistency, and someone who will keep working with me through positive training. I promise I’m worth the effort! My dream home would have: 🐾 An active person or family ready for adventures 🌳 A securely fenced yard where we can play and interact together 🐶 A doggy playmate is welcome, but I’m happiest with my people 🎓 Someone committed to helping me learn, grow, and become the best boy I can be ❤️ Patient people who appreciate a big dog with a zest for life I may be a little enthusiastic sometimes—okay, maybe a LOT enthusiastic! 😂—but that’s just because I’m so excited to experience life and be loved. All I need is someone willing to give me guidance, patience, structure, exercise, and a whole lot of love. In return, I’ll give you my heart, my loyalty, my goofy personality, and a lifetime of adventures. I’m ready to be your best friend. I’m ready to be someone’s boy. I’m ready to go home. 🥹❤️

Story
**Oliver is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club and his adoption fee has been reduced** Meet Oliver! Oliver is a handsome guy with a heart full of love! He can be a bit shy when meeting new people but with patience, he can warm up quickly. I have a very difficult time with men though - I should live in a household with female-identifying people only. Oliver is looking for a family that will help him continue to build his confidence and give him all of the love, toys, and long walks he desires! Come into the Adoption Center to meet Oliver and get to know him! Weight: ~ 92 lbsMedical: Oliver is a healthy dog but it is always a good idea to take him to his new veterinarian to receive a full check-up and establish care.Adoption Fee: $200 + tax

Story
I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.

Story
Anna…. She immediately connects with most any person she meets. She enjoys doggy activities but her favorite activity is simply being with you. Deeply snuggling, relaxing. She loves walks, car rides, rubber ball retrieval or lying near you Anna doesn’t just live she thrives on her/your daily routine. If you have a busy day, that’s OK she will spend her day watching you work. She is smart, food motivated and eager to please. Her personality and intelligence make her a great student. She has most of the basic commands mastered and is already house and crate trained. She is ready for that next big step in her life. Remember Anna is a book with only a sentence or two in each paragraph. She is waiting for you to finish her life’s story with her. Someone will get a great companion who would love to spend her day on your schedule. Anna has all the right ingredients; wouldn’t you like to bake the cake? She is truly the loving girl.

Story
Hello there! My name is Rogie! I`m a laid-back girl who LOVES going for walks and likes being the center of attention. What can I say? I`m a princess! And as such, I am looking for a new kingdom where I can be the lady of the house! I can be a little nervous when I meet new dogs or am in new places, so I`m looking for a new best friend who can share their love and patience with me as I get used to my new surroundings. On walks, I`m very well-mannered and like to interact with my human walking buddy. So, if you are looking for a new pal to explore, play, and cuddle with, I`m your girl! Don`t believe me? Come on down to meet me for yourself! I just know we will be fast friends! I cannot wait to meet you! Medical History: I appear to be a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with your vet soon after adoption so we can meet each other!Weight: ~ 102 lbsAdoption Fee: $375 +tax
