Story

Meet Molly! She has been waiting for a forever home since November 2022! Molly is a sweet, spunky girl with a heart as big as her smile. At 7 years old, she’s the perfect mix of mature and active — ready to lounge on the couch or hit the trails for a long weekend walk. She’s gone on hikes, runs, and multi-hour strolls, and she keeps up like a champ!Molly is incredibly well-behaved in the house. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and respectful — no chewed shoes or mystery puddles here. She's also a great sleeper, curling up in her dog bed all night in her humans’ room without a peep.Molly is very food motivated (she’s never missed a meal!) and enjoys toys, bath time, and being part of the family routine. She’s strong on leash but doesn't pull. She can pass by other calm dogs just fine, but she may react if another dog is reactive, so she’ll need an experienced owner who can read her cues and continue her training.If you're looking for a loyal companion who's full of love, ready for adventures, and happiest curled up beside you, Molly might just be your girl.May 13, 2025, 6:37 pm

Story

Meet Duke – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for a Fresh Start Duke is a 5-year-old, 64-pound American Staffordshire mix who’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Since being found in a park in October 2023, Duke has come a long way—he’s affectionate, smart, and full of personality. He loves cuddles, sunbathing, chasing birds, and chewing on toys or cardboard boxes. He’s also a foodie, with favorites like watermelon, apple, bell pepper, and the occasional french fry.He knows many commands (sit, down, heel, stay, speak, and more) and graduated from a board & train program where he learned great leash manners and impulse control.Duke does have some medical and behavioral needs. He has allergies (both food and environmental), a repaired leg (TPLO surgery in 2024), and a congenital soft palate defect. He’s reactive to motorcycles and has shown occasional redirected aggression, so he walks with a muzzle for safety. He needs an experienced, adult-only home that can provide structure and ongoing training.Despite his challenges, Duke is incredibly loving, goofy, and loyal. He bonds deeply with his people and will thrive in the right home—one that understands him and is ready to give him a second chance.If you’re experienced with reactive dogs and looking for a sweet, quirky companion, Duke may be the one for you.April 17, 2025, 10:18 pm
