Story
Meet Ryker! We'e known Ryker since he arrived at the local shelter in Spring 2024. We brought him along with us when we separated from the partnered shelter the following Fall because we couldn't imagine leaving such a special boy behind. Ryker came into the shelter just hardly out of puppyhood, and he had a really hard time growing up in the small, loud kennels with never enough help for regular enrichment. He had so much pent-up energy and just didn’t know what to do with it all, which unfortunately led to him being "at-risk" for euthanasia when the shelter ran out of space for incoming dogs. Luckily, Ryker's current foster came along and literally saved his life. He finally had the chance to decompress and has learned so much while in foster care! Ryker's foster describes him as “a chill guy who just wants to chill on the couch with you.” But Ryker's the best of both worlds, as he LOVES some rough'n'rowdy play when the time comes! Ryker has also been working with a trainer to unlearn some of his bad puppy manners that developed from a lack of early socialization. With consistency, he has shown a real eagerness to learn and please his human friends. All he needs now is a forever parent to help him keep that wonderful momentum going! The best part? Ryker is crate trained, leash trained, dog friendly with dogs that can match or appreciate his energy, and LOVES to be the center of attention. If Ryker sounds like the right match for you, we would LOVE to introduce you to this very special boy!

Story
Some of yall may remember Cookie Dough from way back in January when we pulled her from the shelter after she was listed as “at-risk”. She's still with us and has been thriving in foster care ever since! Now, she’s ready to find her forever home. 💛 Her foster says: “Cookie is a drop of sweetness with a dash of spice... there's never a dull moment! She’s got a bold, curious personality and loves to explore the world nose-first. But Cookie’s not all go-go-go, she LOVES her chill time too. A good chew toy, belly rubs, and a cozy lap are her idea of heaven. She’s affectionate, snuggly, and loves her people fiercely. Sure, she’s got her quirks... who doesn't? Cookie Dough knows what she likes (and doesn’t!). She’s been a joy to have in foster care. I know that when she bonds with someone, she’ll be their ride-or-die for life.” 🥰 Quick Facts about Cookie Dough - 🍪 Crate & potty trained 🍪 Dog-friendly on her terms — prefers male dogs her size who know when to play vs. chill 🍪 Not good with small dogs or cats 🍪 Walks great on leash, sits on command (especially for treats!) 🍪 Total Girl’s Girl 💅 — not a fan of men; needs a women-only home at this time 🍪 Best in a home without young kids 🍪 Spayed, vaccinated, heartworm positive (being treated), and microchipped

Story
* ROXANNE'S ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED! * Oh Roxanne... It has been a long road of recovery for this girl we saved just one hour before she was set to be euthanized. Before that moment, Roxanne lived in a backyard with little interaction with people or other dogs. Roxanne is more than ready for her next stop, either in a new foster home so she can expand her horizons or a FOREVER HOME! Roxanne adores people and lights up around anyone who shows her kindness. She’s looking for a home where she can be the center of someone’s world. 🥹 Girly needs to be the only pet in the home, so she can soak up all the love from people that she missed out on for so long. 🫂 Because she’s still learning the ropes of indoor life and basic manners, Roxanne needs a patient, understanding adopter to help her continue blossoming. She may need a little guidance, but her heart is all in — and she’ll give you more love than you ever thought possible. 🥰 Roxanne has come so far. Now, all she needs is her forever home! Can you help us find the perfect fit for her?

Story
Nala is a young female lab/pit mix who is approximately 2 years old that I adopted at a max capacity shelter after she was abandoned there following her life neglected in a closet. Her personality is sweet and silly, enjoying both cuddling and being around people (often to get a pet or please them) as well as running around in fields, rolling in the long grass, and chewing on a lamb toys ear. She is responds well to training and is crate trained. Ideally, her forever home would be one where people are home frequently and already have dogs. I could imagine her being responsive and enjoying hunting though. Nala is all around a really good dog that just needs some more land, time, and care than I can provide!

Story
Luca is the sweetest dog! He loves to play, cuddle on the couch, and run around. He’s very awkward and goofy, and will keep you laughing. We found Luca when he was 7 weeks old and have had him since! He is almost 4. He is dog selective, but we have another dog in our home and they get along great! He spends most of his day laying on the couch and playing with his toys. Do not be fooled though! This man has his wild moments and often times gets the zoomies! He loves to wrestle and play! I personally think he would be best suited for someone that has had a pitty before. He is very scared of children so someone that does not have children or see children often would be best. He is currently going through professional training in the hopes of being the best behaved dog he can be! He is so smart and is ROCKING it so far! Our training program also comes with lifetime free group classes if he ever needs to tune up his skills! Overall, he has truly been the best dog!
