Story
Rowdy originally came to us as a stray in February 2025--a very friendly guy! He was adopted two weeks later, but came back to us in July 2025--no fault of his own! The couple who adopted him were having troubles and split up--and Rowdy was protective of the female. However, she could not take him out of state when she moved away and chose to surrender him back to us. He is good with other dogs, house and kennel trained--and waiting for the perfect person(s) to give him a loving home again.

Story
Meet Zip—a 1-year-old neutered male cattle dog mix with a tender heart and a timid spirit. This sweet boy is naturally shy and still learning that the world can be a safe and comforting place. New people, new sounds, and new environments can feel overwhelming for him, so he needs someone who will move at his pace and offer patience, reassurance, and calm guidance.Once Zip feels safe, you’ll start to see the soft, loyal personality underneath his nerves. With a gentle approach and steady routine, he has so much potential to blossom into a loving, devoted companion.If you’re someone who understands shy dogs and finds joy in helping them come out of their shell, Zip is waiting for you. With time and kindness, he’ll show you just how special he truly is.

Story
Ike is a handsome cattle dog mix, who is looking for a forever home. This boy is naturally shy, taking a little time to warm up to new situations and people.However, once you`ve earned his trust, Ike reveals his wonderfully sweet side! He particularly enjoys playing with humans, offering a reserved but affectionate engagement that is truly rewarding. Whether it’s a soft game or a quiet cuddle, he cherishes that one-on-one time.When it comes to his canine peers, Ike prefers to keep his distance and would do best as an only dog or in a home with calm, respectful dogs who won`t push him to socialize.
