Originally adopted as a puppy in April 2022, Legend was returned in February 2025 due to a housing change, and he’s now looking for his forever home.

Story
Pegasus is an around two-year-old dog with a sweet, curious personality and striking blue eyes. He gets along well with other dogs and kids, and may also do fine with cats. He would enjoy an active home that matches his playful energy and includes him in daily life. He adapts easily to new environments and is generally happy and easygoing. Pegasus likes backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and even tagging along to places like coffee shops or breweries. After a day of activity, he settles in nicely for cuddles and relaxation. He is smart, social, and affectionate—a good balance of fun-loving and companionable. Pegasus would do well with a family that stays active and wants a dog to join in on outings, whether that means playing fetch, exploring, or winding down together at the end of the day. For someone looking for a friendly, engaging dog who brings a lot of life and warmth, Pegasus has plenty to offer. He is ready for a home where he can be part of the adventures and the quiet moments alike. ##2076977##

Story
She was being neglected and abused by a friends father. She wouldnt even come up to me. Soon after we took her in we realized she was just scared and was very energetic and happy puppy . She is 1 year or under, shes not much of a barker. In a new home all I hope is people who are dedicated and responsible, and people who are able to love and play with her the way she deserves. She is playful, protective, obedient, sweet, elegant at times.

Story
Noah is a 2 1/2 year-old pitbull German shorthair pointer mix. He loves being outside sunbathing chasing lizards and loving his people. Noah can be destructive in the home and is very reactive with other dogs and recently just attacked another dog. He has lived his whole life with another boy dog in the home and he does well with him, but any stranger dogs he does not do well with he needs a lot of land, lots of love, and for somebody to be with him majority of the time. Noah loves engaging with people and is a big cuddle bug. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of land to give Noah what he needs and he’s becoming too reactive for us to keep him. Noah can be reactive with food and resource guards. Noah will get excited about the same food that you give him every day twice a day and he will jump up and down for it Noah is very food motivated and we just about anything you give him when I’m chopping up lettuce he’ll even eat that. He enjoys ice cubes as well.

Story
We’re helping rehome my dad’s dog after he was recently moved into a nursing home and can no longer care for her. Unfortunately, we live in a rental, and my brother travels frequently for work, so we’re unable to give her the stable home she deserves. We believe she’s around 6–8 years old (~55-50 lbs, mix breed), though we’re not exactly sure since my dad adopted her. She is up to date on her vaccinations, incredibly obedient, leash-trained, and listens exceptionally well. She’s been wonderful with our 4-year-old daughter and enjoys playing with other dogs once she’s comfortable with them. She loves being with her people and is happiest when she has consistency and companionship. She was very bonded to my dad, so this transition has been especially hard on her. After being moved around quite a bit over the last few months, we’d love to find her a person or family who can give her a stable, loving home.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Betsy 🐾💗 I’m a 7-year-old Chihuahua, and I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I came from a home with lots of other dogs, so the world can feel a little big and scary sometimes. I might be shy when we first meet… but if you give me a little time, I promise I’ll show you my true self 🥺 Once I trust you, I turn into the sweetest, cuddliest little companion. I love being close to my person—snuggling up next to you, following you around, and just enjoying the comfort of being loved. I don’t ask for much… just a safe place and someone kind to call my own 💕 I’m still working on a few things like my potty routine and feeling confident when I’m alone, but I’m already making progress! With patience, consistency, and gentle reassurance, I know I’ll keep getting better every day. My perfect home would be calm and loving, with a small family or a quiet household where I can feel secure. I’d do great with another small, gentle dog friend and older kids who understand how to be patient and kind with me. I may be a little shy at first, but I have so much love to give. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal cuddle buddy, I could be your perfect little shadow 🐾💗 Adoption FEE: $450, which includes her spay or his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
