Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there! My name is Ludo, and I’m just a baby puppy with a very big heart.  I’m sweet, curious about the world, and extra fluffy—which makes me absolutely perfect for snuggles (I take this job very seriously). I love all things stuffed—stuffed toys, plushies, squeaky friends… if it’s soft, I’m probably carrying it around proudly. I also really enjoy hanging out with big dogs and learning how to be a good pup by watching them. I’m doing great in my kennel and I’m working hard on potty training—I’m learning more every day and trying my best to be a good boy. With a little patience and lots of love, I know I’ll get the hang of everything in no time! Mostly, I’m just looking for a forever family who will love me, play with me, cuddle me, and help me grow up to be the best dog I can be. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy, snuggly puppy to join your family… I might be your guy! Love, Ludo  Ludo is from a local reservation.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Miss Scarlett! Miss Scarlett is an absolute sweetheart and the best kind of companion. She is very friendly with people and loves being close to her humans. At bedtime, she happily snuggles up without hogging the bed—and on your days off, she’ll even let you sleep in. She is mostly potty trained, with only a couple of accidents that were due to timing, not her fault. Scarlett enjoys learning and already knows how to sit… especially if there’s a treat involved! She’s also working on catching treats—she can do it, as long as the toss is just right. One of Scarlett’s favorite things is being outside. She loves keeping watch for squirrels and rabbits and can have an impressive stare-down with a squirrel in a tree. Because of this, she can be a bit hard to distract when she’s locked in on wildlife, but it’s all part of her curious and observant nature. Scarlett is a quiet, well-mannered girl who rarely barks. Like many dogs settling into a new home, she is still working on a couple of things, including counter surfing and recall. She’s made progress already and will continue to do best with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for a loving, funny, and loyal companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and cozy nights in, Miss Scarlett may be the perfect match for you! This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian. Click Here to learn more about heartworm disease.   Scarletta is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lilly is a darling little sweetheart with a growing confidence and playful spirit! She’s not quite sold on being outdoors yet, but she has conquered potty pad training — even if she’s still working on perfecting her aim on the pad (she’s trying, promise). As of this weekend, Lilly has blossomed into playtime and now loves toys and chasing balls. She already knows commands like “come” and “be patient,” and she responds best to praise and encouragement over treats — she lives for kind words and love. Lilly is also improving beautifully with kennel training, only crying once last night before settling down for the night. She’s finished her worm meds and is feeling much more comfortable and healthy now. Lilly is a sweet, sensitive pup who will shine in a patient, loving home ready to celebrate her progress. Lilly is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Peanut Butter (PB!), a sweetheart of a puppy ready to melt your heart! This playful pup is an all-around good fit for almost any family. PB loves life and is eager to share it with you! Peanut Butter is fantastic with kids and other pets! She's been around cats (who are dog-savvy!) and shows respectful curiosity. Chickens? Just interesting! She calmly observes without bothering them. Mornings are for play, but afternoons mean cozy naps, making her a balanced addition to your home. PB is a smart cookie! She's doing great with potty training, consistently going outside. She just needs a little help signaling when it's time to go. Leash training is also underway! Playtime is her jam! She loves games of "catch me if you can," chasing, and wrestling with big and small dogs alike. Her toy box is her happy place, enjoying all kinds of squeaky and non-squeaky toys (even if fetch isn't quite her thing yet!). While she'll use her kennel, she's definitely a cuddle-bug who prefers company. PB is a total love bug, seeking out pets and scratches. She might be a tad big for a lap "dog," but she'll happily settle in for some quality snuggle time. With her sweet heart and endearing personality, Peanut Butter is truly a cutie pie waiting for her forever family. Peanut Butter is from a local reservation.
