Story
Ladybug is a 4yo shepherd mix who joined our family as a puppy when we adopted her from a hoarding situation. She is a fun, obedient, and affectionate dog. She enjoys exercise but does not need an excessive amount. She weighs about 60lbs. Although we love her, she has a tendency to bark and nip at our three young children anytime there is food in the area or when the kids encroach on her space (in her bed, etc). We have tried everything including medication, but issues persist. We feel for the safety of our kids and Ladybug's happiness, she would be much better off in a home with older kids who can understand her boundaries or no kids at all. She does ok with our older dog who is a similar size.

Story
Hi, I’m Ibu! I’m a very loving, affectionate girl who adores being with my people. I love to play, give kisses, and curl up for cuddles whenever I get the chance. I have a big personality and a big heart to match. Because I get very attached to my humans, I would benefit from crate training, structure, and some basic training to help me feel more comfortable when left alone. I’m energetic and sometimes jumpy when excited, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids would be best. I’m not suited for a home with toddlers. My history with other dogs is still being learned here at the shelter. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted companion who will thrive with guidance and love, I’d love to meet you.

Hi, I’m Lewis! I’m a sweet senior shepherd with a classic shepherd personality—loyal, protective, and generally easygoing. I still have plenty of life left and enjoy gentle play, especially with other dogs. I’d love a home where I can enjoy walks, companionship, and plenty of cozy downtime. If you’re looking for a devoted, mellow buddy with a big heart, I’d love to meet you.

Story
Hi, I’m Mystery! I’m a playful pup at heart, even though I’m not so little anymore. I love playing with other dogs here at the shelter, though I can get a bit rowdy when the fun starts! Because of that, I’d do best in a home with older kids, if any. I’m still learning my manners, so I’ll need some training and patience as I grow into my best self. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, goofy friend who will keep you smiling, I might be the one for you!

Story
Hi there! I’m Vanilla — a sweet, spirited pup with a whole lot of energy and even more love to give. I’m still learning the ropes of the big world, so I can be a little unsure around new people and might bark to let you know I’m feeling nervous. I’m also a bit head-shy, so I appreciate slow, gentle introductions. What I really need is a patient, experienced adopter who can help guide me through training and give me the structure I crave. Once I trust you, I’m loyal, goofy, and full of zoomies! If you’re looking for a fun project and a forever best friend, I just might be your perfect match. Let’s grow together!

Story
Hi, I’m Nala. I’m a sweet girl who’s feeling a little scared right now, but with patience and kindness I start to feel safe. I’m looking for a calm, loving home where I can take things at my own pace and learn that the world isn’t so scary. I have a gentle heart and would do best with someone who understands shy dogs and is willing to give me time to bloom. I’m available foster-to-adopt while I receive treatment for heartworm, and the rescue will guide you through that process. If you’re looking to make a difference and help a deserving girl find her confidence, I’d love to meet you. I am eligible for foster!

Story
Luna has been in our family since she was a baby. She is now 8 years old and unfortunately, we can no longer keep her since I am moving abroad. I would really love to find her a new home with a new family. She is calm and sweet. She is obedient and still very playful. I would not want to take her to a shelter.
