DOG FRIENDLY: yes! CAT FRIENDLY: no KIDDO FRIENDLY: yes!Welcome Elliot! Hes currently in a foster home, heres what they have to say about him, `If Buddy the Elf was a dog, he would perfectly describe Elliot! He is high energy, goofy, always in the mood to play and jump around but snuggles well and calms down quickly when he`s worn himself out.  Elliot is very in tune with other dogs, loves his doggie companions but will find his toys when the other dogs need a break and is perfectly content.  He is crated during the day, sleeps with his head on the pillow at night and does NOT believe in personal space! ??  He is redirected easily for any unwanted behavior, knows sit and wait, is an expert watch dog for the army of squirrels in the neighborhood, and likes fruits and veggies!  He loves sitting on the couch with his people and he feels best when he`s snuggled right up to/on you!  He also loves exploring in the yard and gallops like a horse from corner to corner following his nose! He`s such a great boy! `

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › This guy lives for connection. Cuddling isn’t just something he enjoys—it’s his favorite job. If given the choice between food, toys, or adventure, he’ll choose your hands every time. He’s deeply people-oriented and a little love-sick in the best way, happiest when he’s being touched, leaned on, or quietly adored. He does well in a pack and is calm and respectful in public spaces. In the car, though, his heart goes into overdrive—seeing people turns him into a hopeful social butterfly, fully convinced everyone might be his next best friend. He understands structure and routine. He crates well at dinner time and knows exactly when it’s time to settle in, though outside of that he may need a little encouragement. He responds well to control feeding, listens reliably, and carries himself with an easy, thoughtful awareness of his surroundings. Equal parts gentle soul and steady companion, he’s the kind of dog who doesn’t just want to be near you—he wants to belong with you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 19, 2026, 10:22 am

DOG FRIENDLY: yes!CAT FRIENDLY: most likely KIDDO FRIENDLY: slow, proper introductionsSawyer is currently in a foster home! Please call the shelter or submit an application online to meet this sweet boy! Heres what his foster family has to say about him,`Hi there, everyone!I’m Sawyer, and if I had a superpower, I would fly! I train every day by doing the sploots, and even when I take naps, I stretch my arms out in front of me and dream about flying. When I’m not busy playing with my foster fur-sibling, I love to sunbathe or snuggle on a good couch. But hey! Life isn’t all play! I mean, I wish it were because that’s my weakness. However, I enjoy working on my commands, such as sit, down, come, wait, and behind. I’m also crate-trained, my crate is like my superhero hideout! It’s super cozy and just for me(sometimes my foster fur-siblings try to fit in the crate with me). I also enjoy walks, hiking, and splashing around in creeks!Even though I dream of being a superhero, I’m not brave like them all the time. Don’t tell my foster fur-siblings, but the first few days, I wasn’t sure what was happening. However, watching the other dogs helped me adjust well to my new environment. And, when we do new things, I will sometimes watch them to see how they react.So now, I’m beginning to interact with strangers, and recently, I got to meet A LOT of people at once. Even though I growled and barked at a few, it didn’t take me long to realize that they were some pretty cool humans, and now I consider them my friends. I mean, they ended up playing with my favorite squeaky toys and rope all weekend, and I got to stay up later to hang out with all the cool kids, how cool is that? I hope you give me a chance and come meet me, because I’ve learned throughout my dog years that it’s way better to go through life’s crazy ups and downs with someone you love than doing it alone.`
