Story
Meet Ellie, a young, friendly, and playful dog who loves to explore but is also a bit shy. She weighs 49 pounds and is leash trained and house trained, making her a great companion for both active outings and cozy home life. She`s clever and knows the sit, stay, and come commands. Despite her playful nature, Ellie enjoys her lazy moments but can be jumpy and cautious in new situations. Ellie is a bit timid and fearful around children which is why she was returned so children need to be at least nine years old. Even though she is respectful, friendly and playful with dogs and behaves well at the dog park, she is very possessive of her food around them. Because of this, and the fact that she likes to chase them, she cannot live with a cat. She`s looking for a loving home where she can feel safe and blossom. Adopt Ellie and discover the joy of a loyal friend who brings the best of both worlds.

She weighs about 57 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 but can play a little roughly. Cats? She simply ignores them, making her an easy companion in diverse households. Due to her jumpy nature with occasional nipping when she gets overstimulated, she`ll need to live with children at least 12 years old. 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 6/18/2026)Click `Play` to meet Pulga.This animal has been available at the shelter for more than 30 days and is now considered a VIP.The adoption fee is 50% off! -jc (10/31/25)

Story
Meet Oreo, a young, energetic dog full of curiosity and playfulness. His friendly demeanor makes him a joy to be around and he is protective of his home and loved ones. Oreo loves to be in the lap of his favorite humans, thriving on attention and interaction. He was given up because his family didn`t have enough time for him. His excitability and intensity make every day an adventure. He weighs 48 pounds and likes agility and chewing on toys. He also enjoys walks and need to fine tune his skills with this. He loves to explore, which sometimes leads him to open doors and run a bit too far from home. His playful nature means he`s a bit jumpy. With some training, Oreo`s enthusiastic habits can be channeled into positive behaviors. He is eager to be the best he can be. He also appreciates and seeks companionship because he does not like to be by himself. He`s friendly and playful but rather rough with other dogs and children, so he might do best in a home with adults or older kids who can handle his spirited play. If you`re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and cherish every moment with you, Oreo is your perfect match!

Story
Meet Odin, a young, vibrant dog full of life and love. His playful and friendly nature makes him the perfect companion for fun-filled days at the park or cozy evenings at home. He weighs 54 pounds and likes agility, running, tugging toys, water, and wrestling. Odin is incredibly brave and curious, always ready to explore new environments as he eagerly and noisily leads you while on his leash. Although he can be a bit jumpy and nippy due to his excitable personality, he`s crate trained and eager to please. He still needs help with house training. He knows the sit, stay, come, and down commands but has a hard time calming down long enough to demonstrate his obedience knowledge. He`s a happy boy who is always on the go. He does have a rough side when playing with children and tends to bark at other dogs but he`s quite playful with cats. It would be a good idea to bring your dog to meet him because he can overwhelm some dogs. He is needy and needs a nice big yard to burn his pent-up energy. He was given up because his family downsized and don`t have a yard anymore. His protective instincts make him a loyal friend, and he thrives on attention and affection. Adopt Odin and discover the joy of unconditional love and endless adventures. (tw 9/21/2026)

Story
Meet Diamond, a lively puppy who`s always ready for a new adventure. Her energetic and goofy personality makes every day a delightful surprise. She`s curious about everything, which makes her an excellent companion for explorations. Despite her small size (26 pounds), she`s quite the chatterbox and a bit of a guard dog, always alert and watching over her human friends. She is quick to bark at perceived danger. She`s also quick to bark at absolutely nothing. Diamond might be a bit whiny when bored, but give her a lap to snuggle on, and she`s all smiles. We haven`t seen her interact with children or dogs but her hyperactivity might come across as too much for laid back kids or dogs. You will need to bring your dog to meet her. Adopt Diamond today and discover the joy of her outgoing and funny companionship!

Meet Mochi, a young, vibrant soul eager for a family to call her own. Mochi is the epitome of joy, boasting a playful and friendly nature. She`s not only smart and curious but also incredibly sweet and cuddly. She knows the sit, stay, come, no, and down commands.

Excelling in house and leash training, Mochi is a dream for those seeking a well-mannered companion. She adores children and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, though her youthful energy means she can be a bit jumpy and loves to chew. She was given up because her owner travels too much for her job. Mochi’s lovable personality makes her the perfect addition to any home, promising endless fun and unconditional love. (tw 8/19/2029)
