Story
Allow us to introduce you to Norris. This charming fella came to us some time ago as a stray. Initially timid, Norris has come a long way since then, now reveling in playful activities. With a toy, a yard, or even a baby pool, Norris is the happiest boy when he is enjoying swimming and playtime. His play style might involve a bit of vocalization, but it's all in the spirit of fun. As far as Norris is concerned…there is never enough toys! After his energetic bursts, Norris finds joy in stretching out and lounging. He adores nestling his nose under your arm for head rubs and sitting snugly between your legs. At around 2 years old, he's a leash-walking pro, making him a great companion for an active lifestyle. He will need an active household. While he's tolerant with other dogs, we believe he'd thrive best as the sole pet in the household. We do think he would thrive with someone who has a bit of experience with owning dogs. He would thrive with someone who knows how to lead him to be the best boy. Due to his exuberant nature, we recommend a home without young children and a securely fenced yard for this lively boy. This sweetheart just needs his very own forevermore. Is that with you? If you are interested in Norris, send us a message to set up a potential meet and greet!

Story
READ FULL ADOPTION POST Hey world, we’d like you to get reacquainted with our Twig. He was briefly adopted out, and it didn’t work out. But that’s okay. This adorable guy had a rocky start, but he's been blossoming in the care of an amazing foster and her pup. Twig's past is a mystery, while we know he was abandoned and emaciated…what he went through prior had to be bad. He is scared of being hurt by those he doesn’t know, and he cowers with fear when a voice is raised. He's got a heart as big as his loyalty, and he's fiercely protective of his chosen humans, kind of like a pint-sized chihuahua with a heart of gold. Now, Twig's looking for a special human with a PhD in "Rescue Dog Rehab," preferably a widow or a lone ranger – no kiddos or party animals please. We're talking about a tranquil, zen-like household here, folks. But here's the magic of Twig: when he loves, he loves with all his heart. You'll never find a more loyal and devoted dog. We say that a lot, but we truly mean it with Twig. His love is nothing short of inspiring. We’ve had him working with a trainer, and he's come a long way. Once he trusts you, you'll see just how sweet and loving he can be. His adoption process will include a few meet and greets with him and the trainer for a smooth transition and to provide you with the tools to understand and support him. Here's the cool part - he's great with other dogs, so if you've got a four-legged friend, they'll be instant BFFs. He is crate trained and housebroken. He can get bored and can occasionally chew, so toys are a must! Twig's hobbies include cuddling, soaking up the sun, earning treats like a pro, and going on car rides. He's a laid-back dude, always happy to be by your side. So, if you're a compassionate, patient, and experienced dog owner, ready to open your heart to Twig's quirks and all, reach out to us and help share his story!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Allow us to introduce you to Honey, a sweetie, sweeter than honey. Her journey to our shelter began on the side of a freeway, where she was found very scared with sunburned ears/tail, total scorched paws, and a body covered in scars and scratches that tugged at our heartstrings. Initially shut down, Honey gradually learned to trust again with the help of our compassionate individuals who sat with her and shared her kennel, offering the comfort she needed when she first came in. Over time, Honey has healed up physically and emotionally. While we may never fully understand her past, we do recommend that she be the ONLY sole pet in her new home. Honey is still working on her leash manners but is making progress daily. With humans, she is an absolute sweetheart, finding her greatest joy in cuddling on your lap, wrapped in blankets, enjoying treats, and playfully chasing squeaky toys. Honey would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and an experienced owner who understands the needs of dogs that have overcome a challenging past. She would benefit from someone with patience and the guidance she deserves. At a little over a year old, she's the perfect companion for an active individual or family ready to give her the love and attention she craves. Is that with you? If you are interested in Honey, send us a message!

Story
Our hearts ache as we post this about our beloved Marnie. She's was on a journey for over a year, searching for that one special place to call her forever home. Marnie is once again embarking on the quest for her forever home, as her last stop turned out to be less than ideal, and our foster homes are full with other animals in need. What Marnie truly longs for is the companionship of another playful medium to large canine buddy. She truly comes alive when she's surrounded by her fellow four-legged pals who match her enthusiasm and energy. Marnie's zest for life is infectious, and having a playmate to share adventures with is nothing short of a dream for her. Of course, Marnie isn't without her quirks. She could use a little assistance with her leash manners, but with the right touch of patience, understanding, and training, this hurdle can be overcome. A fenced-in yard would be an incredible hope for her new home, granting her the freedom to frolic and run whenever she wants! Marnie is a bundle of warmth, cuddles, and affection. Her heart brims with love waiting to be shared. Marnie deserves a chance to find a family that will cherish and adore her. PLEASE SHARE TO HELP Marnie find her forever home. If you're captivated by Marnie's spirit and wish to offer her the love and care she deserves, please send us a message.

Story
Hey there, fabulous humans! It's your gal, Bernadette, but you can call me Bern or even Freckles – I've got more nicknames than treats in a jar, and I love 'em all, especially when they come with compliments about my stunning looks. So, here's the scoop: I strutted into this shelter a few moons ago after being found at a local park. The guess is I was dumped there, but hey, no hard feelings – I'm ready for a fresh start! Now, let me tell you, when I first landed here, I was a bundle of nerves. Can you blame me? New place, new faces, but thanks to some awesome volunteers, I improve everyday. They discovered my love for a sprawling yard, I definitely need a fenced in yard, because this gal needs space to run, zoom around, and soak up the glorious sunshine. Snow, you say? Bring it on! I've got a feeling I'll be a snowflake-catching extraordinaire. Sure, I'm on the high-energy side, and yeah, I might flex those muscles a bit, but give me a few minutes, and I remember my leash manners. I'm thinking an active, young-at-heart household (no super young children) is my jam – you know, where the adventures never stop. Now, I do have a tiny confession: I'm a bit picky with my canine companions, so I'm dreaming of a forever home where I'm the solo pet, soaking up all the love. I'm 2-3 years young, and I've got a lot to learn, but I'm a quick study. I need someone who speaks dog and can help me polish my manners. Once the zoomies are out of my system, I transform into a cuddle connoisseur. Picture this: me snuggled up next to you, enjoying the cozy vibes, maybe with a peanut butter licky mat in paw – perfection! I'm ready to ditch the shelter life and move into my own fabulous forever home. Are you the awesome human who'll make my dreams come true? Let's make it happen! If you are interested in Bernadette, send us a message!

Story
Hey folks, Walter here, the canine charmer ready to steal your hearts faster than a squirrel steals acorns! I came in as a shy stray, but one day, a kind volunteer bestowed upon me an extra-fluffy blanket – that's when I knew I hit the jackpot! Now, at the ripe age of seven, I'm a distinguished gentleman, and let me assure you, I can out-prance any those whippersnappers. I've got the wisdom to appreciate life's finer things: the velvety touch of blankets, the joy of human cuddles (always superior), and the secret to getting the best doggy treats—just deploy the big sad eyes, works like a charm! Outdoorsy, toy enthusiast, and a connoisseur of behind scratches, that's me. I might be a tad dramatic, with my wait for my turn to go outside to play sounds described as a hybrid of a seal and a beagle, but hey, it's all in good fun, right? The volunteers love it, so let's roll with that narrative. I seem cool with other dogs so far and would vibe well with an active family or a laid-back active retiree. Leash strength and a hint of jumping are my quirks, but I'm an undeniable good boy. Dream scenario? A fenced yard to call my own. So, are you my people? If so, message my people, let's make this happen! If you are interested in Walt, send us a message!
