Hello there, I'm Chance! I'm a friendly chap, full of sweetness and energy. My smarts and curiosity keep me engaged with my surroundings. I love participating in enrichments; they're like puzzles for my active mind! However, I do prefer the company of adults. I find their calm demeanor comforting. Before I can join your family, a dog meet and greet is required. It's just a way to ensure we'll get along splendidly. I would also enjoy being fed separately or crated away from my siblings. I would be fond of a well structured and well managed household. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to bring joy, companionship, and a touch of adventure to your life. I'm ready to give you all the love I have. Let's make wonderful memories together!

Hello there, I'm Peregrine! I've got a zest for life that's contagious. I'm all about fun, frolics, and a good belly rub. My favorite pastimes include chasing my own tail and making people laugh with my goofy antics. However, I've got a confession to make: I'm a bit of a diva. I love being the center of attention and would prefer to be the only pet in the house. I promise you, though, I've got enough love and laughter to fill a home. Adopt me and let's create a world full of fun, just us two!

Due to the recent fire at our shelter, all of our animals are in foster homes. All animals are still available for adoption, please submit an application online so you can meet your new best friend!Livvy's foster mom says:Livvy is such a good girl! She loves to play, loves to cuddle, is very smart and learns new things quickly. She loves to play tug and fetch. Livvy is really good at being handled, I can manipulate her all around, trim/file her nails, bathe her and she's really good for it all. Good at staying out of rooms that she's not allowed in. She did well with my pet rat, I let her know that it wasn't a toy and she was interested but no mouthing or chasing it around. little bit of pawing but mostly just watched it. Livvy is friendly to other people - when on walks. she is okay at ignoring dogs if the other dog isn't barking or pulling at her, otherwise it takes a just little redirection from me to get her back to focusing on the walk. she is pretty good at refocusing. Overall, she is a great dog.

Due to the recent fire at our shelter, all of our animals are in foster homes. All animals are still available for adoption, please submit an application online so you can meet your new best friend!Meet our darling girl Margo! She's a 3 year old little pittie hoping Santa notices her on the nice list. Margo was left abandoned in a motel room with her 1 remaining puppy. Emaciated and alone, she made sure to give everything she had to care for her puppy. Our ACO took the family out of the motel room and now Margo is waiting to find a family who will love her and never abandon or abuse her. Margo loves people and getting attention. She is playful and strong, but she stops to gently take treats. This sweet girl will steal your heart! We can't wait to see her go home and get all the love and food she deserves!

Hippo is loving all the attention in his foster home, because he absolutely loves people! Hippo enjoys spending his days curled up on his peoples lap soaking up all the love he can get! Hippo has great house manners, is house broken and just a joy! This handsome pittie is sweet, snuggly, playful and silly- what more could you want?!Here is an update from Hippo's foster mom.I want to give you an update on Hippo.He has been working on sitting. He is still a bit stubborn at times but understands he won't get the treat without sitting when asked.He loves children! Was very good with my special needs granddaughter. He tried to sit in her lap, he liked her that much. Then took to our other granddaughter at first meeting.He was great with meeting new people in the home.He is learning the routine for going outside for the bathroom. We have learned some of his cues for the need.He needs to sleep with someone, ( we had a pitbull mix that did the same) he likes to be next to someone.He is excellent when left alone for up to 5 hours, no anxiety, he usually sleeps on our couch or bed. Does not tear up things or pee in the house. Loves to play and sit in the sun coming through the windows. He still has issues with other dogs. We are trying to work on that. We believe he is trainable. All in all he's a beautiful animal and soaking up the love we give.Please share with everyone !
