Story
Meet Ginger – A Gentle Soul Searching for Her Forever Home Ginger is a sweet and loyal girl who has given her whole heart to her humans, only to find herself waiting for a family once again. At 10 years old, she deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by love, peace, and stability. Ginger's foster family love her. She is loyal to her folks. She will bark at someone at the door and makes it very clear she is there to make sure no one does anything to her people. In reality Ginger would rather hang out with her people. She bonds hard and loves unconditionally. She does need a family or person that is shepherd savvy.   Ginger is great with dog friendly dogs and in fact she can keep up with much younger dogs. Do not think because Ginger is a senior she is not capable. Ginger is able to jump into the back of a truck with no issues and can go on long walks with absolutely no issues.  Ginger is house-trained as well crate-trained, and she enjoys her walks, though she may pull a bit when excited. More than anything, she just wants a soft bed, gentle hands, and a family who will never let her go again. She would love to spend a rainy day laying on the bed cuddling or going on a road trip.  Senior dogs like Ginger have so much to give—they are wise, grateful, and deeply devoted. Ginger has waited far too long for her happily ever after. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this special girl ask to meet her.  ##1908335##

Story
Pretzel is a total love bug. He gets along great with other dogs as long as they are also dog friendly. This sweet boy came to us in terrible skin condition. We have worked hard on getting his skin condition under control by having a good diet and lots off love. The reward  is a very handsome boy and happy boy. Pretzel would probably do best in a home without cats. He is house trained, crate trained, however he does well in the house and he does not get into things or destroy anything.  Pretzel walks well on leash, he does pull a little bit but he is very correctable. Pretzel is a really sweet boy, with lots of love to give. He knows his name and will come running when you call him. He does require routine and a commitment to a good diet.  ##2219678##

Meet Jesse!Jesse is a male German Shepherd with the perfect blend of energy, loyalty, and heart. This handsome boy is house trained, crate trained, and ready to find a family who can give him the love and structure he thrives on.

During his time with us, Jesse has been working on building confidence and getting comfortable around new dogs and new people. With patient handling and positive exposure, he’s making great progress. He hasn’t had much experience with cats or other animals, so slow, thoughtful introductions are recommended. Jesse is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and becomes a devoted shadow once he feels safe.

Dax does great with routine and clearly takes comfort in knowing what to expect—he’s the kind of dog who thrives on consistency. He’s dog-friendly when passing other dogs and remains calm and polite. Dax already knows how to sit and is a steady, thoughtful companion who would do well in a structured, loving home. ##2603396##

Story
Meet Belle! Belle is a 4–5 month old Belgian Malinois mix with the sweetest soul and a heart full of love. This cuddly girl is happiest when she’s snuggled up with her people—but don’t let that fool you, she’s also ready to be your next adventure buddy! Belle absolutely adores other dogs and would love a canine companion to play and prance around with. She does best in a cat-free home, though. She’s been wonderful with her foster family’s 11-month-old son and has shown herself to be loving and affectionate. At night, Belle is perfectly content sleeping in her kennel (which she loves!), though her foster family admits it’s hard to resist cuddling her instead. She’s doing great learning how to walk nicely on leash, but she’d much rather jump into piles of leaves and try to keep up with the big dogs—it’s all part of her puppy charm! Belle enjoys bones and toys, rides like a dream in the car (she’ll curl up and nap), and is an all-around happy pup. She’s still deciding how she feels about rain and bath time… and for now, she’s decided she’s not a fan. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and loyal companion who will cuddle with you after a day of adventures, Belle might just be your perfect match  ##2560536##

Story
Fable Fable is a very excitable, playful German Shepherd mix with a petite frame and a big personality. She loves to run, play chase, and bounce around with joyful energy—she honestly moves like a little fox at play. Fable is enthusiastic and affectionate, with a tendency to jump up when she’s excited, so she’ll benefit from continued training and guidance. She’s dog-friendly when passing other dogs and brings a fun, spirited energy wherever she goes. We recently found out that she's a huge fan of frisbee play. Fable would be a great match for an active home ready to channel her zest for life. ##2603397##

Story
Trooper’s story is one of incredible resilience. As a young puppy, he was found with a broken jaw and underwent two surgeries to repair it. Due to his injuries, he’s missing the front part of his lower jaw — but don’t tell him that! Trooper doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He eats, drinks, plays fetch, and enjoys life just like any other dog. His joyful spirit and determination shine through in everything he does, reminding everyone he meets what it means to be strong, happy, and unstoppable. This handsome boy is as smart as he is sweet — he already knows his basic commands, including sit, down, middle, place, and crate. He walks beautifully on leash and is a joy to walk. He loves to learn and is eager to please, especially if you’ve got a ball in hand! He has great ball drive and fetch is easily his favorite sport.  Trooper loves to play with other dogs but benefits from slow introductions. Once he warms up, he’s a total goofball. We believe he could be cat workable with proper introductions and structure. He’s fully housebroken and thrives with a routine, clear guidance, and lots of love. Trooper takes his job as home guardian seriously — he can be a little protective when new people first come to the door. Once he sees that everything is safe and calm, it only takes him a few minutes to relax and make friends. With proper introductions and clear direction, Trooper quickly switches from cautious to cuddly! If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to be your adventure buddy, training partner, and best friend, Trooper is your guy. ##2356715##
