Story
Meet Charlotte: a young, sweet Doberman mix with a love for life! Despite a tough start in life, she hasn't lost her zest.Charlotte arrived as a young stray with significant weakness and muscle loss in her hind legs due to a severe case of hip dysplasia. To relieve her pain and help her move more normally, she underwent surgery on both hips in November 2025 to remove the poorly fitted "ball" portions of her joints. Because her muscles were so weak before the procedure, she has required intensive physical therapy and underwater treadmill sessions to rebuild her strength. Charlotte has made incredible progress in foster care and can now walk and run well, though she still finds stairs a bit challenging. She is a happy, resilient dog who can just about keep up with the best of them now!Since Charlotte spent so much time healing in a foster home, they got to know her really well! Here's what her foster family has to say: "Charlotte is such a sweetie! She got along great with our two small dogs. She can get a bit excitable when meeting other dogs, but she just wants to play with them. She knows 'fetch', 'sit', 'down' and 'leave it.' We walked her a lot due to her surgery and she can now enjoy hikes and romping around with her doggie friends. Charlotte loves squeaky toys, meeting people and is crate and house trained. Overall, she's a lovely dog and will make a great addition to her new home." ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 50.2 Age: 1yrs 1mths 4wks

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Kali, a two-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find her forever person. At first glance, Kali might seem a bit timid and sensitive, as she takes some time to warm up to new people and unfamiliar dogs. However, once she knows she is safe, her true colors shine through and she becomes a happy friend to all. Underneath that initial fearfulness lies a deeply sweet, goofy, and silly dog just waiting to make you laugh. Kali is looking for a patient and loving home that will give her the space and time she needs to settle in at her own pace. Because she genuinely dislikes being restrained, she will do best with an understanding family who can handle her gently and respect her boundaries. If you have a little patience to spare, Kali will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty, goofy antics, and heartfelt affection.

Story
Junior is a handsome cream-colored shepsky with a gentle soul and just the right sprinkle of puppy charm. He may still be young, but he’s already showing what a well-mannered, thoughtful boy he’s going to be. Junior is crate trained and potty trained, and he does great with his routine — happily heading outside to do his business and then returning calmly to his crate. He’s still getting the hang of leash walking, but he’s improving and taking it all in stride. Outside, Junior likes to do his own thing, exploring at his own pace with curiosity and confidence. At home, he’s the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. Junior loves to play and soak up affection, but he also knows when it’s time to wind down. When things are calm, you’ll find him happily chewing on a bone or entertaining himself with his toys. He has a wonderful ability to respect boundaries and settle himself, which makes him a joy to have around. Junior would thrive in a home that’s ready to guide a young dog as he continues to grow, learn, and blossom. With his loving nature, good habits, and sweet personality, he’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion and best friend.
