Story
Meet Cain – Your Next Best Friend Cain is a sweet and soulful 10-year-old pup with a heart full of love and a lifetime of loyalty to give. He’s spent his days alongside his brother dog, a feline sister, and his beloved human family. This handsome boy lights up at the sight of snow, stretches out in the sunshine like a pro, and never says no to a treat (or three). Whether he's chasing after a ball with his canine buddies or cuddling up with his favorite humans, Cain is happiest when surrounded by love. Originally rescued from Colorado at just 6 months old, Cain has split his life between the mountains and the Midwest. He enjoys peaceful walks through town, romping in a fenced yard, and relaxing in cozy corners of the house. Cain would thrive in a calm, caring home with a secure yard and plenty of companionship. He’s great with respectful kids, other dogs, and even cats—he’s truly the full package. Ready to add a loyal, loving companion to your life? Cain is waiting to meet you.

Hi! My name is Lassie I am a 4 year old, spayed Cattle Dog. I am microchipped, heartworm tested and current on my vaccines. 3 words that describe me: Gentle, a little timid and affectionate Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: My friends at the shelter say I may be a little shy at first but with some pets I will warm up quickly.

I love the outdoors and I love being brushed too! Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10) 5/10 Housetraining Status: I could use some work with my house training but with a good routine, patience and time for me to adjust, I will catch on quickly. I should do well in a home: My friends at the shelter say I should do well in a home with dogs with slow introductions and time to adjust and kids of all ages given proper adult supervision. My friends at the shelter are unsure how I would do in a home with cat friends! My favorite activities are: I like to go on adventures if it involves being outdoors and getting to sunbathe. I also love getting gentle pets and following my favorite people around Things I need work on are: I could use some work on housetraining and basic commands. I could also use some work on gaining confidence as sometimes I may get anxious! Any special needs: I came to the shelter with an injured leg and a limp. My friends at the shelter are following up with a vet to figure out what may be wrong and what they can do to fix it, because of this I may be a foster to adopt candidate. For more information on the foster to adopt process you can contact the shelter.
