Story

How this pet arrived: Max was brought in by a community member on January 29, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Max! This high-energy guy lives life at maximum speed. He can be jumpy and mouthy, so Max is looking for patient, committed adopters who are ready to lean into positive reinforcement training-the whole household should be on Team Max and attend a meet-and-greet. He's best suited for a home with kids 10 years and up. When it comes to food, Max believes in maximum personal space and prefers to dine solo. He should be left alone while eating, and if there's another dog in the home, adopters should be ready to manage resources like pros. On the plus side, his finder reports that Max is potty trained and sleeps in a crate-proof that this "Max-imum" boy already has some solid skills and tons of potential!

Story

How this pet arrived: Lola Bunny was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on January 1, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Lola Bunny! Lola Bunny bounced into our lives as a stray, so her backstory is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that she's a shy little hopper who takes her time warming up. New things can be scary, but with plenty of space, soft baby talk, and maybe a treat or two, Lola starts to peek out of her shell and show her sweet side. She's looking for a quiet burrow to call home-ideally with adults or older kids (10+) who understand that good things come to those who wait. Keeping her world small and cozy while she settles in will help her feel safe and confident. If you're patient, kind, and ready to celebrate tiny victories (and big trust moments), Lola Bunny is ready to hop into your life. PS- if there a dog in the home, please bring them in to make sure everyone hops along happily!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

How this pet arrived: Cherry Blossom was brought in by a Field Service Officer on January 2, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Cherry Blossom! Cherry Blossom is a delicate little flower just beginning to bloom. Like her namesake, she does best in calm, peaceful surroundings where she can open up in her own time. She loves her crate-it's her cozy "garden," a safe space where she can relax and feel secure. Cherry Blossom is happiest in a quiet home with minimal foot traffic and kids over 12 who understand how to be gentle. She's not ready for leash walks yet, so a yard is perfect for her potty needs while her confidence grows. She'll go home in her crate (please be sure your car can fit it!), and with patience, kindness, and a steady routine, this sweet blossom is sure to bloom into something truly special.

How this pet arrived: Layla was brought in by a community member on January 5, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Layla!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

How this pet arrived: Nebula was brought in by a community member on July 14, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Nebula is a dog who truly lives up to her celestial name, offering the perfect balance of a sweet, affectionate nature and a wonderful sense of independence. She is the ultimate partner for a quiet night in or a busy day at home, happy to act as your enthusiastic "helper" or contentedly entertain herself with her toys. Indoors, Nebula is a total dream; she is reliably potty trained, respectful of boundaries, and has impeccable manners. She never begs for food and takes treats from your fingers with incredible gentleness. Life with Nebula is easy and predictable thanks to her solid training and steady demeanor. She is excellent on a leash, responds well to commands like sit and stay, and views her crate as a peaceful sanctuary where she sleeps soundly all night. Remarkably unfazed by the world around her, she remains calm even during loud noises like fireworks. When she is looking for affection, she will politely rest her head near you or roll over to expose her belly for the scratches she loves so much. To ensure Nebula and her new family are set up for success, she is looking for a specific home environment. She is friendly and respectful with people but requires a home with older, respectful children. Nebula would thrive best in a quiet neighborhood with low dog traffic and would benefit from continued positive training to keep her confidence high. Because she prefers a structured environment, she is not a candidate for off-leash venues like dog parks or dog beaches. If you are looking for a well-mannered, independent, and affectionate soul to complete your home, Nebula is ready to launch into her next adventure with you. If you're coming to meet her, don't forget to bring a leash and collar Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 66.4 Age: 4yrs 0mths 4wks
