Story
Gerty is the goodest girl! I am devastated that we have to get rid of her. I am a newly divorced single mama of three kids and two of them have severe disabilities so my plate is too full to give Gerty what she needs. We've recently entered low income housing and cannot keep her. She needs a good family to live out the rest of her days. She is a beautiful and well behaved dog who needs a place to run! You'd be crazy not to pick her! Just be aware that she is an alpha so she will need an introduction in order to suite compatibility with other pets.

Story
Hi! My name is Tiernan and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 03/03/2026.I weigh 67 lbs and am considered a medium breed dog.I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`, `stay`, `come`, `down` and `shake`.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home!I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. I require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn. I am not crate trained yet and teaching me those skills will help tremendously on a road to success! If you and your family are ready to fall in love my awesome self, please check me out!!

Story
Hi! My name is Laika and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good samaritan on July 12, 2025. I have been in a wonderful foster home for the past few months. In my foster home I get along well in my foster mom and her resident dogs that come in all different sizes! When meeting a dog I would do best with a VERY SLOW introduction. It will probably take me a bit to warm up to another dog, but with consistency we probably can be best friends!I am very smart, affectionate, and motivated to learn! Because of my history as a stray, I am fearful of other dogs and sometimes strangers, and would be most successful if I have space to build my confidence with minimal stressors - I am not yet ready for the dog park (and my never be) or a home with lots of visitors. In my ideal home I will have a place where I can run around and burn off some energy and then be able to be a couch potato with my favorite person the rest of the day.I may be shy at first, but once I trust you, I will be incredibly loving and want to be by your side.If you would like a chance to meet me, please fill out a foster interest form :)

Story
a. She is a 9-year-old, spayed, healthy white dog, about 35 pounds, with a deeply loving and loyal heart. I found her 9 years ago in a trash bin between Georgia and Azerbaijan, and since then I have tried to carry her into a better life across countries and different chapters of my own life. She later came to Turkey, and a few months ago, she came to the U.S. She has her passport, vaccination records, and documents. She is incredibly people-oriented and forms very deep bonds. She is the kind of dog who loves her person with her whole heart. She is clean, expressive, talkative, and full of personality. She enjoys walks, car rides, beach outings, and simply being close to the person she trusts. Her ideal person is someone calm, patient, and emotionally attuned, with the time and heart to build a real bond with her. She would do best as the only dog, in a calm home without small children or frequent guest traffic. With the right person, Kartoshka will be the most loyal and loving friend.
