Story
With eyes as golden as her name, Honey is a gentle soul who’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can truly feel safe and loved. Originally found as a stray, Honey has known the uncertainty of life on her own—but through it all, she’s remained respectful, thoughtful, and quietly affectionate.Honey spent a few months in a home where she got along well with a younger male dog, but struggled to bond with a dominant female dog. She’s shown she can be a wonderful companion with the right match and would likely do best as the only dog or with a calm, respectful canine friend. Honey has also shown some resource guarding around food, but she’s incredibly polite and will sit and wait patiently when asked—she just prefers her meals in peace and her space respected.Because of her sensitivity and desire for a low-stress environment, Honey is looking for a home without young children. She thrives in quiet moments, loves being outdoors, and walks beautifully on a leash. She already knows several commands, is muzzle trained, and is eager to please the people she trusts.Honey may not be the dog who leaps into your lap right away—but give her time, and you’ll discover a deeply loyal friend with a heart as golden as her eyes. She’s sweet, soulful, and so ready to find her forever.If you believe in second chances and the quiet magic of earning a dog’s trust, Honey will reward you with a love that’s deep, steady, and absolutely priceless.More information?

Say hi to Figgy Pudding… aka “Figgy Piggy” and “Figlet”! Figgy is a professional toy hoarder. She patrols the yard like a slightly overweight mall cop making sure every toy is exactly where she left it: in her mouth. Or under her belly. Or buried in the couch cushions.She’s friendly with kids and big dogs only—small dogs and cats? Absolutely not. Figgy didn’t get this size by sharing snacks with pipsqueaks.Looking for a canine roommate with the personality of a diva, the body of a bean bag, and the soul of a squeaky-toy-slaying warrior?Figgy Pudding is here to roll into your life and steal your heart (and probably your dinner).More information?

Story
👑 All Hail King Kane 👑“You may address me as Your Majesty… or just Kane. That works too.”After five long years of being in and out of the shelter royal palace, Kane is finally ready to reclaim his throne—this time, in a forever kingdom of his very own.Big? Yes.Beefy? Absolutely.Mouthy? Only when his royal opinions are ignored.Kane isn’t your average dog. He’s a one-dog monarchy. A majestic land hippo with a bark that echoes through the halls and a presence that demands respect, snacks, and zero sweatshirts. (Seriously. Do not clothe the king.)This monarch has a very specific list of royal preferences:👑 No children in the kingdom—small humans don’t understand protocol.👑 No other animals—His Majesty does not share the throne.👑 Bring offerings of enormous blankets for royal lounging. Bonus points if they’re fluffy.👑 Be okay with Kane occasionally mouthing your arm like a medieval turkey leg. It’s how he shows affection… probably.Kane has had a rough reign—years of bouncing between castles (shelters), waiting for someone who gets him. He’s not here to be the village jester. He’s not a knight in shining armor. He’s a king—equal parts muscle, loyalty, and glorious attitude.But for the right subject? He’ll be your fiercely devoted ruler of the living room. Your silent protector. Your blanket-loving, sweatshirt-hating best friend.Long live Kane.Give him a chance to rule your heart—and your couch. 🐾🛋️💂‍♂️More information?

Welcome to your new beginning, Tilda! Tilda was brought in as a stray at the end of February and ultimately became a humane case due to the poor condition in which she was found. Tilda is estimated around three years old and she weighs 50 lbs. She’s very sweet and hasn’t deserved the hard life she’s endured up to this point. If you’d like to meet Tilda and offer her the spoiled lifestyle she is worthy of, please let us know!Any kids or dogs at home will need to come in to meet her.

Story
This is Loki. Loki‘s owner passed away and he was left in the care of a relative. The relative allegedly gave Loki away without even knowing the person’s name and Loki was later picked up running loose. We can’t help but assume he was dumped as this situation is sadly becoming more and more common in Marion County. Despite it all, Loki’s a happy, wiggly boy! He was understandably afraid and had his guard up when he first arrived but the more we get to know him, the harder we fall in love. Loki might have some separation anxiety, and can climb a six foot chain link fence if he’s left unattended, so he’d love to find an adopter who will spend some quality time with him outside or take him on walks!We don’t have much information on Loki considering his origin story, but we’d be happy to do meet and greets with kids and dogs, and can cat test if needed.

Story
Emerging from the depths of her enchanted kiddie pool, Vada the Troll Queen is here to claim your backyard, your hose, and your heart. This mischievous little gremlin is equal parts sass, splash, and snuggle (on her terms, of course). She’s a one-of-a-kind, hose-chasing, Kong-chomping legend—and she’s looking for a loyal human to serve as her humble subject.Vada’s ideal kingdom includes: • A hose with good water pressure (the royal fountain, obviously) • A steady supply of Kongs (the sacred treasure of her people) • Zero other dogs (she’s a solo troll, thank you very much) • Cats who know their place (bow or be batted at) • Minimal manfolk (she finds them suspicious)She may be wary of strange humans (especially tall, loud ones), but once you’re accepted into her inner swamp circle, Vada is fiercely loyal and surprisingly sweet. She’ll keep your yard safe from rogue sprinklers, overconfident squirrels, and any unauthorized lawn gnomes.Vada is not here to win “Miss Congeniality.” She’s here to rule, splash, and chew rubbery things until they squeak no more. If you’re looking for a gentle, dainty flower—keep walking. But if you’re ready to bow before the chaos goblin queen and laugh every day at her swampy shenanigans, your highness awaits.Long live Vada. Bring snacks.More information?
