Story
This dog was a stray that I rescued and have been fostering. He had no ID, & I know nothing about his background. He's male, maybe 2 or 3 years old, and weighed 12 pounds when he came to live with me. Once he learned to use the doggy door, I discovered he's housebroken! I'm willing to give him up only because he's too young for me! He needs more activity, & maybe another dog & a couple people in his household. It would be better for him (& I won't feel guilty when he cries when I leave the house)! It does take time for him to warm up to people. He's a dog who's fearful of loud/sudden noises & movement. But once he trusts you, he'll be following you everywhere!

Story
Evie is an amazing, energetic, alerting dog who loves to play frisbee & hunt for critters in the yard. She has saved us from every delivery driver, salesperson, and letter carrier. :) She does not communicate well with other dogs, but LOVES people. Her anxious personality does not work well with ours. She needs a calm owner & room to roam. We are empty nesters and are looking to travel but she does not.

Story
Boy is a 3-year-old mixed breed. He is a good dog and has no history of aggression toward people or other animals.I take care of his food and water, but I simply do not have the time to give him the attention he needs. Because he is used to a quiet routine, he will need a patient owner who will give him time to adjust to a new environment.PS:Can be neutered upon request.

Story
Sophie’s story begins with love… and loss. She was deeply cherished by her mama, but life was touched by hardship, and when her mama passed, Sophie was left needing a new beginning—a safe, steady place to land. Despite it all, her spirit stayed bright. Sweet, loyal, and spunky—Sophie is pure personality. She brings a playful, joyful energy wherever she goes, the kind of little companion who makes everyday life feel lighter and more alive. She loves to be near her people, soaking up connection, attention, and all the simple moments that make a house feel like home. Sophie will thrive in a home where she’s not just a pet, but a true companion—where someone is around often, where love is consistent, and where she can finally exhale into a sense of belonging. In return, she’ll give you everything—loyalty, laughter, and a heart that loves deeply. The kind of love that only a dog who’s been through something can give.

Story
Cowboy didn’t come from an easy beginning—found running loose through the desert heat, surviving on instinct, strength, and grit. But that same spirit is what makes him so special. He’s a strong, rough-and-tumble kind of dog—the kind who greets you with full-body enthusiasm and those signature “bear hugs” that might just knock you over if you’re not ready. And honestly? That’s part of his magic. Cowboy needs someone who can meet him there—someone grounded, confident, and active. A true partner. A cowboy, a rancher, an adventurer… or simply a man or woman who loves the wild, isn’t afraid of a little dirt, and wants a loyal dog by their side through it all. He absolutely loves open land and room to roam, but he also knows how to settle—Cowboy is crate trained and genuinely enjoys having his own space to unwind. He’s great on leash, always happy and a loyal best friend for life !
