Story
Meet Bear! He is a sweet and playful young dog who can take a second to warm up, but once he does you become his newest best friend! He loves running around with other dogs and shows very appropriate playing mannerisms during play groups. He walks well on the leash but is a very heavy sniffer so he loves his sniffaries! He was brought into our care due to a an increase of stress in his new home leading to him developing resource guarding behaviors in the home. Due to this behavior, he is an adult home only dog and we recommend he be a single dog home to help better manage his resource guarding as he will require a lot of one on one focus. He would do best in a home that is familiar with resource guarding and a willingness to put plenty of care and training into making him his best version of himself. He has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

Story
Meet Goose! While vocal and shy at first, with a bit of patience to coax her out of her shell, her sweetness shines through. She is still working on her dog social skills and will need training before she is able to co-habitate with another dog in the home. She`s much more confident outside of her kennel, where she feels more comfortable and enjoys meeting new people. Adopting Goose would mean giving her the chance to flourish in a loving home, where her sweetness can be fully appreciated. She`s waiting to share her love with a patient and understanding owner. Will that be you? She has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

Story
Meet Katara, a gentle soul who is still learning how to navigate the world around her. Shyness is how she handles new things but beneath it lies a sweet nature waiting to be discovered. Katara`s world has been limited, her social interactions few. She carries a sense of nervousness, a reflection of her under-socialized past. Katara yearns for a quiet home, one filled with patience and understanding. A home where she can slowly shed her fears and bloom into the loving companion she`s destined to be. She would benefit from a home where everyone is old enough to participate in her training. Adopting Katara is not just about giving a home to a shelter dog, it`s about opening your heart to a journey of love, patience, and growth. It`s about teaching Katara that the world can be a safe place, and in return, receiving unconditional love from a friend who will cherish you forever. He has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

Yay for Fiona! Fiona would love a home to call her own. She has been to obedience training, knows all her basic commands and walks well on a leash.She would do best in a home with older kids and no other dogs or cats. She loves car rides and would love an active lifestyle!If Fiona sounds like a fit for you, please let us know.
