Meet Duke!Personality: Distinguished good boyLikes: Leisurely walks, surprise zoomiesSome people overlook seniors—and that’s such a mistake, especially when they’re as well behaved as Duke. This sweet gentleman walks great on leash, takes treats so nicely, and clearly knows how to be a polite companion.Duke loves his walks and, when the mood strikes, will still chase a tennis ball just to remind you he’s got some pep left in him. He’s the perfect mix of calm, charm, and playful spirit.Fun Fact: Duke only chases the ball when it truly feels worth the effort—and honestly, same.If you’re looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion with a big heart and just enough bounce left to keep things fun, Duke is ready to be by your side.

Story
Meet Yukon - a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with golden retrieverenergy trapped in an Aussie body (aka: loyal, polite, and permanentlyattached to your hip).Yukon came to the shelter with his sister Artemis, and while toys and ballsjust don`t do it for him, you absolutely do. His favorite activity?Following you from room to room like a fluffy, well-mannered shadow.Personal space is optional.This smart cookie already knows sit, down, stay, come, and even takes treatsgently like the distinguished gentleman he is. His previous family sharedthat Yukon is housetrained, crate trained, and friendly with adults, kids,and other friendly dogs. Cats, however, should admire him from afar-nofeline roommates for this guy.Yukon and Artemis were surrendered through no fault of their own when theirowner could no longer care for them. They were described as wonderful dogswho truly deserve another loving home-and we couldn`t agree more.If you`re looking for a loyal companion who doesn`t need toys, just yourpresence and a little love, Yukon is ready to be your shadow.

Story
Jack Jack is a medium sized super high energy doggo that loves to run and play! He is people selective and loves to protect his family. Because he tends to get very attached, he would need a home where someone is there for me 24/7. He prefers females as he is more comfortable with them, so he would need to go slow when meeting males. He is great with other dogs and would love to have a playmate. He also loves to play in water, so a small dog pool is preferred!! He is definitely still a puppy at heart and gets incredibly fast zoomies! He would do best in a home where he can be very active and play as long as he wants! He would also do best in a home with older children and adults since he is very high energy. If you are looking for a hiking buddy, a running buddy or just a very active playmate he would be the perfect fit for you!He can be found at the main ranch location. For more information you can email dogswmr@gmail.com
