Story
Jax is a 4 year old Australian shepherd/german shepherd/ Siberian husky mix. We have had him since he was 12 weeks old. He is the sweetest most loving dog and is wonderful with kids. He is always wanting to interact with kids and run around and play with them. They are truly a best friend to him. Jax is a very high energy dog that does require a decent amount of exercise and attention. He is very food driven and can be your personal vacuum cleaner for any crumbs left behind. He is a loyal companion and will make a great cuddle buddy. Jax would do best with a family that has young kids and is the only dog. Do note, Jax is scheduled to be neutered on January 7th.

Story
Shriek is a 2 year old MINI Australian Shepherd with a lot of energy and a love for toys. She is affectionate, playful, very outspoken, and needs a home where she has a place to run around and play while also getting all the attention she demands. Her favorite hobbies include following you around, showing you her favorite toy (but you can’t touch it), and maiming that favorite toy. Because of her energetic and vocal nature, we’re looking for a home that is aware of her personality and has considered it before choosing to adopt her.

Story
Are you looking for a new adventure buddy? Motivator to get up and get going on these beautiful days ahead!? Look no further, Icon is your guy!!!! Meet the adorable, sweet, gorgeous Icon! Icon was unfortunately born deaf and partially blind, but no worries Icon has acclimated well to his disabilities and doesn't let anything get him down! Icon is a very sweet, very social boy who loves everyone he meets! Because he doesn't always know where the people are, he has a hard time containing his excitement and does get a little jumpy, we are working on this, but he would likely do best in a home without young kids. Icon is currently living in a foster home with other dogs and cats. He loves to play and does well with the dogs in his foster home, however herding boys gotta herd and sometimes it gets the best of him! He would do best in a home without other dogs or any easy going, playful dog that doesn't mind being herded around the house! Icon does lovely on pack walks or hikes and really seems to enjoy himself! Icon would do best in a home with no cats, even the most dog savvy cats don't appreciate his super herding skills! Icon is fully house and crate trained, and working on hand signals so he can become the best doggy citizen he can be! Icon is 2 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives!

Story
Meet this handsome guy named Cooper! He came to the shelter as a stray on December 22, 2025, and was sadly not reclaimed by his owner—so now he’s waiting for his special “gotcha day.” Cooper is estimated to be between 1–3 years old and is current on his vaccinations. When he first arrived, he was very shut down and scared, but with time, patience, and kindness, he’s beginning to settle in and show signs of happiness and trust. In a home, Cooper will do best with someone who understands that he’ll need time and space to adjust at his own pace. A calm, easygoing environment filled with patience and love would be ideal for this sweet boy. He’s a great size and continues to show us more of his personality each day as he gains confidence. If you have a gentle heart and a peaceful home, Cooper may be the perfect match for you. Stop by and meet him—you might be exactly who he’s been waiting for.

The Sweetest Soul You’ll Ever Meet If you’re looking for a companion who embodies the word "precious," look no further than Juno. This lovely Collie mix has spent the last few months healing from some skin sensitivities, and she has handled the baths and treatments with nothing but wagging tails and kisses. Juno is now fully recovered and looking for a soft place to land. She would be a wonderful addition to any home—whether you’re a family with kids or a solo adventurer looking for a loyal shadow. She’s a "once-in-a-lifetime" kind of dog who just needs a chance to shine.
