Story
“You Think I Don't Know Ball?” Meet Emma! At 6 years old, Emma the Pit Bull mix has mastered the art of ball. Fetch? She invented it. Catch? She’s a pro. Tug? Only if you can keep up! With her adorable ears perked and eyes locked in, Emma takes her playtime very seriously - and she wouldn’t have it any other way. But don’t let her athletic skills fool you - Emma’s also a total sweetheart who loves spending time with her favorite people. She’s loyal, affectionate, and will happily snuggle up after she’s proven, once again, that yes… she does know ball. Emma is looking for an experienced adopter who understands her zest for life and can continue her training journey. She’ll need to be the only pet in her home so she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. She’s also part of our Paws Forward Program, which means her adopter will receive 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s to help Emma keep shining both on and off the field. If you’re ready for a loyal teammate, a goofy best friend, and a champion ball player, Emma is ready to play ball… forever. Can't adopt? Please share!

Story
Has everyone forgotten about Jack? Jack is now 6 years old, and he has spent an incredible 1,220 days waiting for the right person to walk through our doors. What started as a temporary stay has turned into years of waiting. And while we’ve grown to love Jack deeply, we know that the shelter is not where his story is supposed to end. Jack is a stunning, smart, and incredibly loyal boy who is looking for a very special adopter, someone with experience, patience, and a deep understanding of dogs. Jack needs to be the only pet in the home, and he is looking for a home without children. But if you’re his person? You’ll get a devoted companion, a playful goofball, and a walking buddy for life. Jack absolutely loves his walks and proudly shows off his stuffies during playtime. He’s also been working hard in our Paws Forward Program, and his adoption includes three free training sessions after adoption with KindK9s to help support a successful transition into his new home. We do ask that anyone interested in Jack come in a few times to spend time getting to know him. Building that relationship is important to Jack, and we want his next home to truly be his forever home. Jack is also part of our Foster-to-Adopt program, giving his future person the opportunity to see how he settles into a home environment before making that final commitment. 1,220 days. That is far too long for any dog to wait for his person. Jack has spent more than three years hoping someone will finally see what we see in him. He doesn’t need everyone to choose him. Please help us find him the person he’s been waiting for. Can't adopt him? Please share!

Story
Short, stout, and packed with personality, Fonda is basically a walking, wiggling honey bun just waiting to sweeten someone’s life. This adorable 7-year-old pit bull mix may be a little shy at first, but give her a moment (and maybe a soft voice and a comfy spot), and you’ll see her gentle, lovable nature start to shine. Fonda is the kind of girl who doesn’t rush into things. She likes to take her time getting to know you, building trust one quiet moment at a time. She’ll be your loyal little shadow, your couch companion, your steady, sweet presence after a long day. Because she prefers the spotlight all to herself, Fonda would do best as your one and only furry friend, no sharing required for this queen bee. 🐝 She’s ready to soak up all the love, attention, and cozy moments you have to offer. Fonda is a part of our Paws Forward Program, so she gets a little extra assistance and goes home with 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s! If you’re the kind of person who understands that the best things in life take a little time, Fonda might just be your perfect match. Come meet this sweet little nugget and see if she’s the missing piece to your home. 💕 Can't adopt? Please share!

Story
Meet Iris! ❤️ Iris is an approximately 2-year-old, 45-pound Pit Bull mix who came to us from another shelter after being found as a stray. She is truly the sweetest, most loving girl! Iris is funny, outgoing, affectionate, and loves being around her people. She may have a few areas where she needs to build confidence, but she is such a happy, loving dog who has so much personality to share. Iris is Lyme positive. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness, and many dogs who test positive have no symptoms and go on to live completely normal lives. Our team can provide her adopter with more information about her care and what to watch for. Iris is also part of our Paws Forward Program, which includes three free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s after adoption. She is ready to find her person and would love a family who will continue helping her grow while giving her all the love she deserves. Come meet this sweet, silly girl and give Iris the chance to become your new best friend! 🐾❤️ Can't adopt? Please share!

Story
Say hello to sweet Goldie! Goldie is a 6 year old pittie mix who loves to cuddle up in a warm blanket. She loves being with her person, and is a laid back, sweet companion who can be described as a couch potato. Goldie would like to be your only dog, as she has not done well with others in the past (she prefers to be the center of attention). She is shy at first, but a real lovebug once she warms up to you. Goldie is a part of our Paws Forward Program, so she gets 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s after adoption to help her start life out in her new home. Can't adopt? Please share and help Goldie find her dream home.

Story
Yes, we have another Nova! 🥹 And this little Nova is pretty hard not to fall in love with. At just 25 pounds, this 2-year-old Pitty blend is a petite little girl with a whole lot of sweetness to give. Nova could use some extra love and a few good meals to help her put on some weight, but she’s already showing us what a loving girl she is. She adores people and has happily lived with other dogs, too! We’d love to see Nova find a cozy home where she can feel safe, get spoiled, and finally get all the love she deserves. ❤️ If you have room in your heart for a tiny Pitty girl with a big personality, Nova is waiting! Can't adopt? Please share!
