Story
Here is what Anna’s foster has to say: “ A gentle soul who takes time to warm up, but bonds deeply with her people. She loves being outside, thrives with other dogs, and balances independence with cozy couch snuggles (and the occasional sock heist). Meet our sweet, gentle girl with a heart that unfolds over time. She’s shy when meeting new people or encountering new experiences, but with patience, consistency, and understanding, she truly blossoms. An experienced dog owner who understands shy or sensitive dogs would be her ideal match, someone who knows that trust is earned and is incredibly rewarding. Once she feels safe, she becomes a loyal and affectionate companion who truly bonds with her person. She enjoys her independence and absolutely loves being outdoors, exploring the world at her own pace. At home, she strikes a lovely balance: content to do her own thing, but always happy to curl up nearby on the couch for a quiet snuggle. She does wonderfully with other dogs and often gains confidence from their presence, making her a great fit for a home with a friendly canine companion. Don’t let her gentle nature fool you. She has a playful, mischievous side, especially when it comes to sneaking socks out of the hamper. 🧦 It’s her little quirk, and honestly, part of her charm. She’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue building confidence and enjoying the simple joys of life. If you’re an experienced dog person searching for a gentle soul, an outdoor explorer, a dog-friendly companion, and a cozy couch buddy with a sense of humor, she may be the one you’ve been waiting for.”

Story
Allow us to introduce you to Bruce!This handsome boy is looking for a home to call his own. Life with a loving family is a new experience for Bruce so he is looking for someone with lots of patience to help him along the way.While he might be a little nervous around new people at first, especially if you are on the taller side, once he warms up, he is ready for ear scratches and cuddles. He prefers to be as close to `his person` as possible and would love someone who is home more than not.Bruce is going to need a family who can take things slow and introduce him to the world. He has learned how to climb stairs while at his foster home though going out the front door is still very scary......thankfully he likes the back door and the back yard. He is not ready for walks yet - so many scary things out there, a delivery truck, wind, a leaf blowing on the sidewalk. A fenced in yard will be best.Thought to be about 2 yrs old, he is doing great with house training and sleeps soundly in his crate, though may take a few minutes to settle — especially if he thinks he is missing something happening in the house. Bruce is very food motivated (might even decide to check out the counter to see if he can find any snacks) though his love for treats helps to coax him along for new experiences.For the family with patience and time to work with Bruce he is going to be a wonderful addition to the family. Think that might be you?

Golden Retriever

Female, 9 mos

Size

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? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend. We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs.

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?
