Great dog in need of a loving home that can give him the attention he really deserves. Unfortunately, with our work schedules we aren’t spending enough time with him. Rocky is an outdoor dog and loves playing with his toys. He’s generally very loving and calm. He gets very excited around other dogs and is very playful but doesn't get aggressive.

Story

Cash is a 6 year old GSD that we have had since he was about 6 weeks old. He is loving, friendly, playful, protective and great with kids. Due to landlord restrictions, we can no longer keep him with us at our current residence and are not in a position to move. We are looking to re-home Cash to an experienced dog owner who can give him all the love, attention and time that he deserves and go to a great home/family. Cash is house trained, loves going on walks (but could use some help on the leash as he gets really excited), and gets along well with other dogs. He’s also crate trained and follows basic commands.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

01/06/26 16:48Placed on Needs Rescue due to shelter being critically over capacity.This is a Track Star hound, in its truest form. If you`re looking for a running partner or adventure buddy, Cinnamon roll could be your gal! This high-energy, social sweetheart is all about movement, friends, and fun. In the shelter environment, she can show her frustration—especially when she sees other dogs passing by—but that stress melts away once she gets out to play. And after the pandemic, can`t we all relate?She’s eager to interact with other dogs and does best when given appropriate outlets for her enthusiasm.On leash, she can be a strong puller, though she walks more comfortably in a harness. Once off leash in the yard, she truly shines. She’s done well playing with multiple large, energetic dogs, happily tolerating a rough-and-tumble play style and showing a clear love for fast-paced games of chase. She would thrive in a home with other playful dogs or an adopter committed to keeping her active.This affectionate girl enjoys being petted all over and seeks out human attention once her energy needs are met. Because kennel life can be stressful for her, she’ll do best in a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods. A gradual, positive introduction to crate training for short sessions will help set her up for success.Ideal home: an active adopter who loves hiking, running, swimming, doggie playgroups, scent work—or all of the above! With the right balance of exercise, structure, and companionship, this pup will make an enthusiastic and loyal adventure partner. Come meet Cinnamon Roll today!

Story

01/25/26 15:12A note from Buskin`s foster family:Buskin is a sweet, affectionate boy who truly enjoys being around people and staying close to his humans. He loves carrying his toys around and is always ready for a game of playtime. When playtime is over, he’s more than happy to roll over for belly rubs or settle in for late-night cuddles.He enjoys going on walks, playing with his toys, and responds very well to treats and attention. Buskin is impressively smart and over the past few weeks fostering, he`s learned a wide range of commands including sit, down, stay, spin, paw, roll over, jump, and heel, in which he loves learning and showing off his skills! He’s fully potty trained, and will let you know when he needs to go outside.Buskin can get excited on leash when meeting new people, but he wants to greet everyone and be part of the fun! With ongoing training, he’s already learning to greet people more calmly and politely. Buskin has such a big, goofy personality and so much love to give. He is looking for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and truly part of the family.

Story

Jelly or Cheeny as she is sometimes called is a very special dog. We adopted her when she was 8 weeks old and has always been a great dog. She is smart and food motivated so it is easy to train her. She loves going on walks and is trained to only potty outside. The only reason we cannot keep her is because we do not have a place to live and most places we can afford absolutely do not want dogs on their remodeled homes. We want her to go to a home that will love her as much as we do.

Story

Hi there! I’m Zoe I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, my sweet and gentle personality really shines. I’ve been learning that the world can be a kind place, and every day I grow a little more confident. I love being part of a family . I do wonderfully in a home with kids, even with all the running, playing, and laughter. I’m calm, observant, and happiest when I know I belong. I’m also great with other dogs ! I enjoy playtime and do well in group settings. I’ve even helped a few nervous pups feel more comfortable just by being myself. Watching me come out of my shell has been pretty special. I settle into routines well, communicate my needs, and appreciate a home that lets me take things at my own pace. With patience, love, and understanding, I truly blossom . What I’m hoping for: A loving forever home A patient, kind human A calm environment where trust can grow If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft heart and a gentle soul, I might just be your girl . I’m ready to start my next chapter—could it be with you? Love,Zoe ##2529909##
