Story
This is Ghost he is a very sweet boy but he does require an owner that can spend a lot of time with him which I cannot do as I am about to start nursing school that requires classes as well as 12 hour clinicals. He deserves better than to have to be alone for 12+ hours in a day. He is very friendly, suffers from separation anxiety that’s why this was a very hard decision but I think giving him the opportunity to be with someone able to give him more attention will be best for him !Willing to negotiate/wave adoption fee.

Story
Meet Kevin — your future best friend and adventure buddy! Kevin is a Jack Russell Terrier mix with a fun-loving personality, a gentle heart, and plenty of energy to keep you smiling every day. He absolutely loves playing with his foster sisters and would thrive in a home with a fenced-in backyard where he can safely run, explore, and burn off some of that happy puppy energy. Kevin is both dog and cat-friendly and has done great with everyone he’s met so far. While his experience with children is still unknown, he has shown himself to be very gentle, affectionate, and eager to please. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be loved and included. This sweet boy is very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding, and he already has great manners in the crate. Kevin is crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and settles in without a fuss. After a day of play, he’s happiest curled up next to you soaking up pets, cuddles, and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate companion with a wonderful temperament, Kevin may just be your perfect match!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Ellie is a 40-pound Jack Russell mix with a bright spirit and an even bigger heart. This smaller medium-sized girl is full of curiosity, joy, and an infectious enthusiasm for life. Whether she’s exploring the outdoors or curling up for snuggles, Ellie’s happiest when she’s close to her people. She’s fully potty trained and walks well on a leash, though her excitement can sometimes get the best of her on longer walks. With a few treats in hand, she quickly refocuses—Ellie is highly food motivated and eager to please, making her very trainable. She’s a smart pup who would thrive with a bit more time and consistency in training. Ellie is wonderful with children, especially young ones. She’s incredibly patient, gentle, and affectionate—even with a curious 3-year-old getting right up in her space. Her loving, tolerant nature makes her a fantastic family companion. When it comes to other dogs, Ellie may just need a little time to reacclimate. She was social as a puppy but hasn’t had much recent exposure to dog parks or daycare environments. With proper introductions and guidance, she has the potential to do well. Ellie is an active dog who loves to run and stretch her legs. A home with a large yard, open space, or even a farm-like setting would be ideal for her energetic nature. After a good run, she’s more than ready to settle in for some well-earned cuddle time. Ellie is a joyful, loving, and intelligent companion ready to bring warmth and energy into the right home.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 12, 2026, 11:44 pm

Story
Skipper and Lucy are a bonded pair! We would like to see them adopted together. Skipper is a Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund Mix at around 25lbs, and Lucy is a black/tan Miniature Pinscher/Chihuahua Mix at around 10lbs. Both are around 14 years old. They were surrendered because their owner could no longer continue care. Both Skipper and Lucy are sweet, low-maintenance dogs that enjoy being loved on. They like to nap and cuddle! They are content with a comfy bed, a quiet home, and a person to give them pets and love. Despite being seniors, Skipper and Lucy enjoy going on short walks. Lucy will even get spurts of energy and try to run around! They both are house-trained, though they are older, so they would benefit from more frequent bathroom breaks.We would love to see these two go to a home together, as they are quite bonded. We also do not suggest apartment living, as they can be loud.
