Story
Meet Anna, a sweet 2-year-old Dachshund/Retriever mix who traveled all the way from out of state to find her forever home. This gentle girl is looking for a quiet place where she can decompress and settle into her new life. Anna would thrive in a patient household where she can take her time to adjust and feel safe. Once she’s comfortable, she’ll be a loyal, loving companion who is sure to fill your home with joy. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate dog to join your family and you have the time and patience to help her blossom, Anna just might be the perfect fit. Come meet her today! Here is what Anna’s foster had to say about her! What a sweetie! Anna came to us in pretty rough shape. She didn’t know how to interact with people and was too scared to leave her crate. We’ve had her in our home for a while now and she has certainly come out of her shell! She may take a while to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you she is a sweet and goofy dog that loves to receive tummy rubs! Anna is mostly house trained, and has learned to come and sit (almost always!) on command. She loves going out for walks, but can often be startled easily by people. We are still working on getting her confidence up, so someone with a lot of patience would be best… but she is a fast learner! We think she would do well in a quiet home with another dog or as a solo dog with an experienced dog parent. She is also a highly trained sock thief, so watch your hamper!

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
Introducing Mavis, a fine 7-year-old Retriever with the steady sweetness of a true American sweetheart. With her soft brown eyes and calm disposition, she’s the kind of gal who wins hearts without making a fuss—content to curl up on the couch, lean in for gentle affection, and keep the household running on good old-fashioned warmth. Mavis is a model citizen, fully house-trained and polite as a picture. She waits by the door when duty calls, stays trustworthy and quiet when left alone, and strolls along on her leash as if she were taking part in a Sunday afternoon parade. When the weather turns snowy, she lights right up—trotting around with that classic, carefree joy that never goes out of style. She’s got a playful streak too. Mavis proudly carries her stuffed toys wherever she goes, like a kid toting her favorite prize from the dime store. She gets along swell with dogs big and small, and she’s just as lovely with children—gentle, patient, and always ready to join the fun without ever overstepping her manners. Come nighttime, she settles onto her dog bed with the quiet contentment of someone who knows she’s safe and loved. Her foster says her greatest triumph has been the simple act of giving her trust—and what a victory that is. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with classic charm and the kind of heart they don’t make much anymore, Mavis is your girl. 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?
