Story

Yoshi was detained by a local sherrifs office on July 31, 2025. When he arrive he was extremely underweight and shy around people. He soon realized he was safe and we got to see him as very gentle and trusting. From the start Yoshi showed signs of being house broken, doing his best to stay clean and only going potty in his kennel as a last resort. Yoshi is around 3 years old, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on preventative care. He is dog-friendly and walks great on a leash. Once he gets that first burst of energy out from being cooped up he will walk calmly beside the other dogs. He has been friendly and respectful with the dogs around him. When told to go back to the kennels "in" he goes right back to his kennel. He hasn't shown interest in toys or playing in the yard. Yoshi just wants space to run, fresh air, and time outside of the kennel. With the right environment- one that offers room to run, patience, and stability we truly believe Yoshi would be an amazing new addition.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Richard Richard is a 10-week-old Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix puppy with a big brain and an even bigger personality. He came to us from a local impound and has been busy ever since showing us just how smart and fun he is. Richard is an active, high-energy guy who absolutely loves to play with other dogs. He thrives when he has something to do and is currently doing great with short, positive training sessions. He’s already catching on quickly to basic cues and clearly enjoys learning and working with his people. Like any young puppy, Richard is working on potty training and crate training. The crate isn’t his favorite place yet, but he’s young and improving every day. He’s also learning the typical puppy routine: outside after naps, after meals, and lots of praise when he gets it right. He’s even starting to sleep longer stretches at night. Richard is a very intelligent breed mix, and with that intelligence comes energy and drive. He would do best with an adopter who understands working-type breeds or is excited about continuing his training and keeping his mind engaged. He’s the kind of dog who will truly shine with structure, consistency, and fun outlets like advanced obedience, scent games, agility, or other interactive activities. If you’re looking for a playful, smart, busy puppy who will grow into an active and devoted companion, Richard might just be your guy. Richard is from a local impound.
