Story
Luna is roughly an 8 month old red heeler kelpie who needs plenty of love, affection, and care. She’s energetic, and loves to cuddle just as much as she loves to play. She’s also a bit nippy, but heelers will heel right? Her story started when she was rescued from a shelter in 2025 by her previous owners, but unfortunately they had to say goodbye since they were not able to relocate her to their new home. My family recently took her in as they were looking for a new puppy, and we were so thrilled and happy to have her. She is the most sweetest dog we’ve ever come across. However, her primary caregiver had a serious, unexpected injury and Luna is unable to receive the proper care she needs. I have taken her in momentarily until she finds a loving, forever home. We’re so sad to let her go and wish that she doesn’t have to go through this again. She’s moved between too many places and too many people for only being 8 months old.

Story
Meet Derby Sherman McDougal!This one-year-old Kelpie mix is a certified goofball with the happiest smile around. He’s always ready to play, but don’t worry—he’s not over the top with energy. Derby is just as content hanging out by your side as he is going for a walk, and he’s a dream on the leash (seriously, a perfect 10/10—always slack). Derby would make the ultimate “go everywhere” buddy. He’s friendly with other dogs, not aggressive, and loves being part of the action. With his impressive ability to jump straight up in the air, he could also be a star in agility—but don’t worry, he’s not an escape artist, just a pup who likes to show off his tricks. This smart boy already knows “sit,” is fully potty trained, and will be neutered on Thursday 10/2. He’s also microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to roll. Once on the euthanasia list at a shelter, Derby is now so excited for his second chance—and even more excited to find his forever family. Could it be you? ##2527256##

Story
This beautiful puppy was found on the side of a busy road with their siblings. We are not sure of the breed, but it looks very much like a Cattledog mix, which will be medium-sized when fully grown. Their story is one of both heartbreak and survival. The puppies had clearly been abandoned, left with no food, no shelter, and no one to keep them safe. Tragically, one of their siblings didnt survivestruck by a passing car before help could arrive. The surviving puppies were frightened and unable to fend for themselves. Fortunately, a kind person picked them up. When they arrived here, they relied on each other for comfort and were so scared. But in a very short amount of time, with the love and care of our staff, these resilient pups began to recover. Slowly, their tails started to wag and their playful spirits emerged. Today, each of them has a chance at the happy, safe life their sibling never got to experience. Their journey is a reminder of the harsh reality many animals in our community face, but also of the incredible resilience and hope that can grow when compassion steps in. He weighed 37 pounds on intake. $350.00 adoption includes the surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping.

Story
Meet Sienna! She is a beautiful, playful pup that has an estimated birthday of 3/1/25. She was found as a stray, but no owner came forward for her. That doesn't bring her down, though! She is so happy-go-lucky and is a joy to spend time with. She acts very puppyish still, so her new owner should look forward to laying the foundation for her training. Her breed is very intelligent, so she will be a breeze. She is good with dogs, but she hasn't been tested with cats, so a careful introduction or a safe separation is important for any cat home. She's young enough to be trained in that area as well. If interested, please submit an application on www.petsnpals.org. $350 adoption fee includes her vaccines, microchip, and spay.

Meet Remy! This handsome man is smart, smart, smart! He's crate and house trained, knows all basic commands, walks on a leash well and knows some tricks!! He's easy to live with and gets along with other dogs. Here's the catch! Remy doesn't prefer pushy strangers who want to oogle and google over him. No hugging this man candy or giving him a squeeze on the cheek, telling him how cute he is. I can't say I blame him...... some people He needs a savvy home who will put him away for family gatherings, birthday parties, or a bbq with neighbors! Besides, he doesn't mind being crated with a bully stick while you guys chat it up. Out on walks, when someone asks to pet him it's ok to decline! Besides, just let them know he has covid and people will part like the Red Sea! He loves walks, hikes, traveling or just hanging out. No kids or cats, he doesn't want to compete with anyone for your affection!!!

Story
Dixie is a great companion dog, she will stay by your side and accompany you on any adventure! She’s fully vaxxed, microchipped, and spayed. She’s playful, loving, and craves attention, however, she will get jealous if you have other pets. She’s the perfect dog for someone seeking a best friend and companion, or a family that can provide her with the love and attention that she craves. I will be moving soon, and cannot take her, so with a heavy heart, I’m seeking to rehome her. She’s 1 year and 3 months old and still has plenty of puppy energy. I have all of her documentation and can provide further information to anyone interested.
