Story
Askem is a sensitive and soulful little guy who’s had his world turned upside down recently. At around 25 pounds, he’s on the smaller side — possibly a mix of Heeler and Chihuahua — and combines the sharp intelligence and need for purpose of a working dog with the emotional sensitivity and wariness that can come with tiny-dog genetics. The result? A dog who feels deeply, bonds strongly, and needs a bit of extra support navigating change. Askem was originally adopted from us as a puppy and spent the majority of his life with his first owner, who adored him. They gave him a loving, stable home for nearly two years and had nothing but wonderful things to say about him — affectionate, loyal, and a true companion. Unfortunately, a sudden change in their living situation meant they could no longer care for him. They tried to rehome Askem to a relative, but the match just wasn’t right, and after a short time in that second home, Askem found himself back with us — confused, overwhelmed, and unsure of what was happening. Understandably, he hasn’t adjusted well to the change. He’s a naturally nervous dog, and losing the only home he ever knew has shaken his sense of security. In the short-term home he passed through, Askem was reported to struggle with house training and was defensive with guests. These behaviors aren’t uncommon for dogs dealing with stress and uncertainty — especially those like Askem who are already prone to anxiety. It seems likely that he tried to cope the only way he knew how: by overcompensating with controlling behavior (classic Heeler) and reacting quickly when he felt vulnerable (classic Chihuahua). What Askem needs now is someone who can see past those stress responses and understand what they really mean — a dog who is insecure, not difficult. He would thrive with a confident, patient person who can offer him structure, predictability, and firm-but-kind boundaries. He’s the kind of dog who finds comfort in routine, and who will slowly let his guard down when he knows what to expect and who to trust. Beneath the nerves, Askem is incredibly affectionate. Sit down with him and speak softly, and you’ll see the longing in his eyes — he wants to be close, to crawl into your lap, to melt under your touch. He loves scritches and rubdowns and clearly desires connection. We're giving him the time and space he needs right now to rebuild his confidence, and he's already starting to show those sweet, loyal glimpses of the dog he once was. Askem isn’t a dog for everyone — he needs a calm home, likely without young children, and with someone who’s familiar with shy or reactive dogs. But for the right person, he’ll be a deeply rewarding companion. If you believe that trust is something worth earning, and you're ready to help a dog rediscover what it means to feel safe, Askem just might be waiting for you.

Story
Cocoa is a 9-month-old Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who came to us as a stray after being found on a back road with her presumed sister, Marshmallow. While we don’t know much about her past, Cocoa has quickly shown us what a sweet and affectionate girl she is. She loves people and soaks up attention, always eager for pets, belly rubs, or just being near you. True to her breed mix, Cocoa is full of energy and enthusiasm—she practically vibrates with excitement when it’s time to play or go for a walk. She will do best in an active home that can keep her busy with exercise, training, and adventures. At 28 lbs, she’s the perfect medium size for tagging along on hikes, car rides, or simply curling up at the end of the day. Cocoa has so much love to give and is ready to find a forever family who will appreciate her happy spirit and give her the guidance she needs to grow into an amazing lifelong companion.

Story
🐾 Meet Bingo! 🐾 Bingo is a 5-year-old, 60lb Red Heeler who’s as loyal and loving as they come. His world recently turned upside down after his previous owner had to surrender him due to a change in circumstances, and while he’s doing his best to stay cheerful, it’s clear that shelter life has been hard on him. He’s a dog who truly thrives on companionship, attention, and love. Bingo is fully house-trained and knows a few basic commands. He walks well on a leash, though he can get a little eager to explore and still pulls a bit when he’s excited. He’s a very smart boy and would do great with someone who enjoys continuing his training or giving him a “job” to do — typical of his herding breed! This affectionate guy loves being near his people and will happily soak up all the pets and belly rubs you have to offer. He’s playful and has a goofy side too — one of his favorite pastimes is “hunting” flies, and he definitely seems like the type to enjoy a good toy or game of fetch. Bingo has gotten along well with dogs, cats, and kids. He does tend to bark at other dogs when he’s excited, and he might chase kids if they run, but he means no harm — it’s just his herding instincts shining through. He’s the perfect mix of fun-loving and affectionate, with a heart full of devotion just waiting to be shared with someone special. All Bingo needs now is a family who will give him the stability and love he deserves. ❤️ If you’re looking for a loyal companion with plenty of personality, come meet Bingo! We promise — this boy will steal your heart. 🐶💙

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Roger is 5 years old. I have had him for 4 years. He is the best boy who loves to play with toys, tug and fetch. When he gets tired of fetch he will run towards the thrown toy and pretend he lost it and just walk away. He loves to cuddle in bed and on the couch. He is amazing on a leash. He loves to be pet by anyone of any age. He loves cat and has been around them the whole time I have had him. He however needs a home with no other dogs at all. He has severe aggression towards other dogs. He does not have much of a problem with dogs smaller than him however no other dogs should be in the home as they stress him out. He just needs someone to love him as much as I do but that has all the time for him and no other dogs. When j got him he was fine with other dogs then one day snapped and hasn’t been able to move past this. Multiple trainers say that it is deep rooted. My home no longer gives him the best life he could have.
