Sadie is a sweet girl who was born in July. She is said to be a German Shepherd/Aussie mix. Sadie has lived as a farm puppy and gets along well with cattle, sheep, horses, and farm kitties. Sadie will need help with potty and crate training, as she has never lived inside. She is a very smart puppy and very eager to learn! She enjoys playing fetch and going for walks. Sadie will do well in an active home with lots of energy outlets.

Story
Yoda was recently transferred to DHS with his brother Buck. While they enjoy each other’s company, they are not bonded and can be adopted separately.Yoda is a 4-year-old shepherd/husky mix (breed is a best guess) with energy to spare! He would excel as a hiking, running, or camping companion. True to husky form, Yoda is a talker and loves to express himself. He’ll need plenty of active outlets and adventures to keep him both mentally and physically happy.While it’s unknown if Yoda is house- or crate-trained, he keeps his shelter kennel clean. He continues to enjoy playtime with Buck, but his behavior with other dogs is still unknown. With his happy-go-lucky personality and proper introductions, we expect he could do well with the right canine companions.Yoda would benefit from some help with basic manners and leash training, but with his affectionate and playful nature, he’s ready for a loving, active home that can match his energy and enthusiasm. 🐾💙"I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petacademy.org.

. Leo is a recent surrender who came to DHS due to his owner’s family health. Born in August 2025, he’s at the perfect age to bond with his new family. This affectionate puppy is house- and crate-trained, loves playing fetch, and is sure to fit into just about any household—especially with plenty of exercise and attention.While Leo is guessed to be a Heeler/Collie mix, his exact breed is unknown. He hasn’t spent much time with other dogs since leaving his littermates, but we don’t anticipate any issues. He also hasn’t been around cats.Leo has only been here a short time, yet he’s already warmed the hearts of staff and volunteers alike! He did wonderfully on a recent outing—napping on the couch, taking a fun walk, and earning lots of treats for his stellar behavior.
