Story
Hi, I'm Bambi, and my heart is as big as my beautiful brown eyes and as soft as my unique coat. I crave human affection and love belly rubs the very most. I'm respectful toward other dogs and get along great with other medium/larger pups. I'm house-trained and love using my crate as my safe space. Thunderstorms and fireworks are a little scary to me. While I do enjoy playing and going on walks, I enjoy snuggling equally! I'm a patient girl seeking a family who has structure and plenty of time to love me!

Story
Meet Dingo, a young, sweet soul on a search for a forever home. Despite his shyness and wariness around strangers, Dingo`s curiosity shines through as he explores his surroundings with a gentle, cuddly nature. He may be timid and a bit stubborn, but his affectionate demeanor blossoms around other dogs, where he has fun and shows his playful side. With them he is easygoing, friendly, submissive and respectful. Dingo`s nervousness is just a small part of his charming personality, waiting to be loved and understood. We haven`t seen him interact with children yet. He weighs 30 pounds and will need help with leash walking to help him overcome his insecurities and house training, both new experiences for him. He has learned the sit and come commands. He likes toys and demonstrating professional-quality zoomies. He can turn on a dime! He also enjoys agility, fetch, running, tugging, chase, and wrestling but not car rides. He`s a bit of a digger and chewer and hoping to improve in those areas with a little guidance. He`s quiet, gentle, calm, and mellow. Adopting lovable Dingo means giving him the chance to show just how loving and loyal he can be in a nurturing environment.

Story
Meet Walter, a true sweetheart of a dog! This adult 52-pound dog is a bundle of joy with a personality that shines. Walter is energetic and always ready for a game of fetch, yet he knows when it`s time to settle down on a lap for cuddles. He enjoys agility (including jumping the occasional fence), tugging, toys, walks, chase and his new pastime - swimming. Smart and obedient, he`s mastered house, crate, and leash training, making him a perfect sidekick for peaceful walks or lively adventures. He knows the sit, stay, and no commands. Walter`s curious and funny nature will keep you entertained, and his affectionate, mellow temperament makes him a great companion. His appealing nature makes him a favorite among both humans and dogs. As a social butterfly, Walter thrives on companionship and is eager to be part of a loving family where he hopes never to be alone. He is well behaved and quiet in a home environment but finds shelter life stressful. Lovable Walter is ready to bring love and laughter to his forever home - preferably your home.

Meet Pulga, a young, vibrant soul still looking for a home. Pulga is a bundle of joy, always ready to engage with a playful and curious spirit. She weighs about 40 pounds and likes running, tugging, toys, chase, and wrestling. She`s smart and quick to learn, already mastering crate and leash training. She`ll need a little help with house training. She knows the come and no commands and is working on down. If she runs away while off leash she`ll come back if you call her. Despite her energy, she loves cuddling and can often be found snuggling on a lap, offering kisses generously. Pulga is a social butterfly, always eager to make friends with other dogs and is friendly and respectful in her interactions. Cats? She simply ignores them, making her an easy companion in diverse households. Due to her jumpy nature, she`ll probably be better with older children. Her friendly demeanor makes her a lovable companion for any family. Adopting Pulga means bringing home endless love and lively fun, enriching your life with her sweet, affectionate presence.(tw 2/10/2026)Click `Play` to meet Pulga.

Story
Meet Dixie, a delightfully easygoing canine companion residing in a shelter, eagerly awaiting a forever home. Dixie is the epitome of joy, combining energy and intelligence with a gentle, cuddly nature. She`s not only friendly and playful but also comes house trained and leash trained (but a little strong), ready to seamlessly fit into her new home. Despite her excitable demeanor, Dixie remains tolerant and affectionate, always ready for a hug or a playful game. She weighs 55 pounds and likes fetch, running, toys, walks, chase, wrestling, and sneakily bolting out an open door. If she runs away while off leash, she`ll come back if you call her. She knows the sit, no, and fetch commands. She was adopted and returned because of her behavior around other animals. Even though she is gentle, tolerant, friendly, and jumpy with children of all ages, she doesn`t behave well around dogs or cats. She`ll enjoy being your only pet so she doesn`t have to share her `stuff.` Adopting lovable Dixie means bringing home endless love and vibrant energy, perfect for anyone seeking a loyal and lovable friend.

Story
Meet Dozer, a vibrant and intelligent dog who thrives on interaction and play. His boundless energy and friendly nature make him the perfect companion for active individuals or families. Smart and trainable, Dozer knows his house manners but could benefit from some additional obedience training to channel his excitement and occasional jumpy behavior. With other dogs, Dozer is wonderfully submissive and respectful, showing a gentle side to his playful personality. He`s also cautious yet friendly when meeting cats, ensuring a peaceful interaction. However, Dozer`s energetic spirit means he can be a bit too rough for young children so he`ll need to live with kids at least 12 years old. He`s a bit needy for attention and loves to chew, so he`ll thrive with someone who appreciates his intensity and can provide plenty of toys and engagement. He would love a big back yard and lots of people to provide an outlet for his energy. He weighs 44 pounds and likes fetch, running, toys, walks (yes, he leads the way), and chase. He knows the sit, come, no, and off commands. He loves being petted and is fond of belly rubs. Adopt Dozer for a loyal and loving addition to your home.
