Story
Lone Ranger is a lovable German Shepherd who will forever be a giant puppy at heart! With his sweet personality and endless energy, he’s ready to bring joy and love to any home. While Lone Ranger has special needs due to hip dysplasia and swimmer’s syndrome, he doesn’t let that slow him down. He loves to try to play, though he may tire out faster after long walks as his legs become weak. His playful spirit is truly contagious, but it's important to note that he may need breaks to rest. Lone Ranger would do best in a home with older children, as his size and wobbly movements can be a bit much for younger ones. He’s very strong and a giant bundle of puppy energy! Although he can be a little mouthy, using his mouth to communicate, he is not aggressive and never tries to bite. He’s also okay with cats, but he might get a bit too enthusiastic and “in their face” while trying to play, so the cats will need to be tolerant of his playful nature. Lone Ranger gets along well with other dogs, but since he's still learning how to communicate with them, he can sometimes be a bit much. Having spent the first few months of his life locked in a crate, the crate is no longer his safe space, and he’ll need patience and encouragement to relearn that it’s okay. At the end of the day, Lone Ranger is a cuddly, loving dog who craves attention and affection. He would love nothing more than to snuggle up with his people after a fun play session. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic, and affectionate companion who will bring so much love into your life, Lone Ranger might just be the perfect fit. Come meet him today and let him show you what a special pup he truly is! All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm tested, receive prevention while in our care, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

Story
These two adorable puppies are looking for their perfect match! While we don’t know exactly what breeds they’re mixed with, we suspect they’ll grow into bigger dogs based on their current stature. What we do know for sure is that they’re sweet, loving, and ready to become part of a family who will give them the time and care they need to thrive. At just 6 months old, these pups are still a little shy and uncertain in new situations, but they’re quickly learning that the world is a place full of love and adventure. They may need a little extra time to build confidence, but with patience and positive reinforcement, they’ll blossom into loyal and affectionate companions. These puppies are also good with other dogs, so they’d make a great addition to a home with furry friends! They love to play and socialize with other dogs, and having a doggy buddy in the home could help them feel more comfortable and confident as they continue to grow. They have so much potential to become the wonderful, loving dogs you’ve been searching for! Come meet them today and see if one could be your new best friend. 🐾💖 All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Hopper is a ball of happiness and energy, always ready to leap into an adventure with his big, hopeful heart. He’s the kind of pup who’ll greet every day with enthusiasm and a wagging tail, but there’s one thing missing: a home to call his own. Despite his playful nature and boundless love, Hopper is still waiting for the perfect family to give him the love and stability he so desperately deserves. He has been waiting for a home to call his own for over for a year now... Hopper came to us from a crowded shelter in Ohio, a bit underweight and unsure of what the future held. But with every ounce of love and care he’s received, he’s thriving and back to a healthy weight, ready to take on the world. He’s quick to learn new things and is working hard on his basic commands and manners. This sweet boy has already shown us his love for walks, and he’s even had a chance to visit an elementary school where he charmed all the kids with his gentle, outgoing personality. While Hopper is a social butterfly who loves being the center of attention, he’s also a cuddle bug who’ll happily curl up next to you after a fun day of play. He’s looking for an active family who can match his energy and loves a good laugh from his silly antics. But beyond the playfulness, Hopper’s heart is full of love, and he longs for the warmth and security of a family to call his own. Sadly, Hopper doesn’t get along well with other animals, so he would do best as the only pet in the home. He needs someone who will be patient with him, helping him grow into the star he’s meant to be. In return, Hopper will shower you with affection, loyalty, and endless joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who will brighten your days, Hopper might be the perfect match. Come meet this lovable boy today and see how much love he’s ready to give. He’s waiting for his forever family – could it be you? 💖 All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.

Meet Florence, a lovely senior Husky who’s ready to step into the pampered life she’s always deserved.

American Staffordshire Terrier

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Anansi is an extremely active and playful pup. He would do best in an active household where he can get out and see the world. He is not fond of small dogs due to being attacked as a puppy. He is very social and struggles with over excitement in public setting but with more training I’m positive he’ll be great. He’s very affectionate and does great with schedules, maintaining a 9pm bedtime since his early pup months.
