Story
Meet Holly, a gentle young retriever with a soft soul and the kind of sweetness that sneaks up on you. She’s completely house trained and will politely let you know when she needs something by pacing, whining, or coming to find her person. Holly doesn’t use a crate and is wonderfully well-behaved when left alone. She’s submissive, thoughtful, and still figuring out the world—making her an ideal companion for someone who wants a dog they can grow alongside and help build confidence at her own pace.Holly is a lovely medium-sized girl with the most charming details. If you use a little imagination, you might spot a heart on her forehead and butterfly-like markings on her side—perfectly fitting for a dog who’s learning to trust and spread her wings. Once she feels safe, her intelligence and quiet devotion really shine. She knows cues like sit, stay, and touch, walks nicely on leash with a collar or harness, and would benefit from continued leash training to boost her confidence.She can be startled by sudden or unfamiliar things—loud noises, fast movement, or even whimsical pinwheels—but what’s special about Holly is her determination to move forward. With repeated gentle exposure, she becomes braver each day (and may even ask to revisit the things that once scared her). She enjoys being outside, even in the cold, and prefers affection on her terms for now—standing hugs over cuddles, and resting contentedly on her own cozy bed.At home, Holly is quietly endearing. She loves toys and carefully stacks them on her bed, plays independently, and will absolutely steal a sock if given the chance (a charming reminder that she’s still young!). While she’s a picky eater, she’s very motivated by high-value treats and eager to learn. Holly would likely do best in a calm home, possibly with older children, where patience and kindness are the norm. She’s a truly special dog—one who’s ready to keep choosing courage and connection with the right family by her side. Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Letti is a sweet, loyal girl who loves being near her people — whether she’s napping nearby or happily chewing on her favorite toy. She’s a cuddle bug at heart and is always ready to snuggle up on the couch or ask for some one-on-one attention (sometimes a little enthusiastically!).Letti enjoys spending time outdoors, especially chasing leaves and exploring the yard. She can be a bit shy on walks, so a patient adopter with treats and a secure harness will help her build confidence.She’s a smart girl who responds well to redirection and enjoys training sessions — they’re a great way to engage her curious mind and strengthen your bond. Letti does best with slow introductions to new people and dogs and will thrive with someone who understands her need to feel safe and secure.While confinement isn’t her favorite, Letti does well when given a comfy space and the freedom to relax. She’s learning that being alone is okay and shows her gentle, loyal nature by waiting patiently for her person to come home.Letti is a loving companion who will blossom with a dog-savvy adopter ready to give her the structure, understanding, and affection she deserves. Once she trusts you, she’ll be your devoted shadow — always close by, ready to love and be loved.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Hi there, Charlamagne here!Let me introduce myself, I am happy, go lucky guy who loves life. At a few months shy of 9 years old, they say I am a senior, but I am young at heart and ready to enjoy life.Give me a toy, especially one that squeaks and life is good. I am not really interested in playing fetch, but I do like my toys. I also love spending time in the yard and if I get to chase one of those little critters, I think you call them squirrels that is super fun. Walks are nice too and I am practicing my manners when on a leash. When we are not playing a snuggle or a good belly rub is very nice.In the house I am a great guest, if I do say so myself. I will leave your stuff alone; I know to ask to go outside to do my business and if you think it is necessary I will sleep in my crate......though I would much rather sleep on the couch if that is allowed. A canine friend would be ok though I am not really looking for a playmate so would be happy to have all of your attention.As you can see from my pictures, I always have a smile on my face. I would love to meet you and spread some happiness at your house. Hope you come to see me soon.Interested in adopting this dog?
