Story
Meet Max ❤️ This loyal 5‑year‑old German Shepherd is the perfect blend of friendly and playful—a fun guy who enjoys spending time with people and loves showing off his happy trot when it’s time for a walk. Max is fully house‑trained and crate‑trained, and prefers a home that’s energetic and playful like he is. He hasn’t met cats or kids yet and has lived with another dog. He does best with social, playful dogs that can match his rowdy play style. Max’s journey includes a small medical piece, but it’s one that’s easily supported with consistent care. He has hypothyroidism, a common condition where the thyroid glands don't produce enough of the thyroid hormone. Treatment is straightforward—just a daily medication—and many dogs with this condition live long, happy, normal lives. Hypothyroidism tends to make dogs lower‑energy or prone to weight gain. Since starting his medication, Max's energy has greatly improved, and he's had a new lease on life! Apply to adopt Max today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions! 🐶

Story
Cleopatra was adopted in June 2025. She has been a beloved addition to our family, and a best friend to my two children. Unfortunately, life has changed a lot in our family dynamic and her adopted parents are no longer together. It is with an extremely heavy heart that we have to rehome Cleo due to this. I want to make sure she goes to a loving, active home that can give her the attention and life she deserves. She has play dates with our neighbors dogs, and even though they are smaller than Cleo, she is very submissive. Loves to cuddle our children and our neighbors 7lb dog. She has only ever chased our cats in the past year we have had her. She would benefit from professional training as she is a jumper. I am hoping someone will see her pictures and fall in love with her as we did when we adopted her. She is crate trained as well. Due to my job and becoming her sole caregiver, I am unable to keep her.

Story
Meet Brooks — a handsome German Shepherd/Pit Bull/Coonhound-mix puppy with the most gorgeous brindle coat and an even sweeter personality!  Born at the end of December, Brooks is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and loving companion. This happy boy loves toys, playtime, and making new friends wherever he goes. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely adores people of all ages. He wants to be with his humans at all times and is always excited to be part of the fun. Brooks is highly food motivated, but very gentle when taking treats. Like most puppies, Brooks can get a little carried away with excitement and may jump up to say hello, but he’s already learning his manners and doing great with redirection. He’s smart, eager to please, and ready to grow into an amazing best friend. He’s also potty trained.  Brooks walks wonderfully on a leash with no pulling and no reactivity to the things around him, although he does like to say hello to new people on his walks. He would be an amazing hiking companion or daily walking partner.  If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy with a beautiful brindle coat and a heart full of happiness, Brooks may be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Bavo — a gentle-giant puppy who would be the perfect family dog! Bavo is a super people-oriented pup who adores all people — including children. Put him in a room full of dogs and one person, and he will go straight for the person, even if he’s never met them before. He loves to snuggle up real close, give kisses and then roll over for belly rubs.  Bavo and his six siblings were born at the end of January and found their way to a loving foster home at one week old. They were handled and loved by humans since they were tiny pups and that shows in their extra-loving dispositions today.  Bavo truly has those lazy big-dog vibes already and he’s not even four months old yet. He was approaching 30 pounds at 14 weeks old on May 7, which puts him on track to be a very large dog. He may be very friendly, but he is also calm and gentle. He tires out easily and will find a cool spot to relax after a play session with his puppy friends. Take him on a walk and he will be ready for a nice long nap. He’s well on his way to being a couch potato!  We’ve labeled Bavo as a Shepherd/Husky mix, but we know his breed results will be much more complex when they come back. His mama, Sugar, is about the same size as her pups, so we know daddy had to have been huge.  Bavo is almost fully potty trained and working on crate training and walking on a leash. He’s very intelligent, treat motivated and eager to please his human.   Bavo and his sister Gretel are the last of a litter of seven. The other siblings are getting rave reviews in their new forever homes. They’ve done well in homes with others dogs and in homes with small children. We hope two more forever homes will come along soon for these very deserving and loving puppies.
