My name is NOBODY. 15 months at the kennel and you won't even look at me. I love people and other dogs and I'm always up to play with you. Why don't you want me. Am I that ugly.. We named her Stevie. She is a sweet, lovable, energetic girl who lives to play! Stevie is a 4 year old, 55 lb obedience trained boxer mix and BTW, we think she's beautiful!
Woody is a male, black lab mix. He is up to date on shots and his heartworm/flea protection. Woody is all about his belly rubs! His is very sweet guy. He loves to paly and get along great with his siblings.
Hey! I'm Lil Snoop. I'm a quiet kind of guy who loves a tender touch. People haven't always been that nice to me so it may take me a minute to get to know a person, but once I do, I'll be your friend for life. I'm hoping to be someone's BFF. I love to go for walks, play and treats are my fav thing ever. There's this guy at the kennel, they call him the trainer, and he gives me treats all the time. He asks me to sit or stay and when I do it, he gets so excited and gives me lots of yummy morsels! Ask for my training videos and you'll see what I mean. Did I forget to mention I also love car rides! I just love sitting there and watching everything move on by. All these great smells blow in the window and come and go so quick, it's awesome!!! Maybe you'd like to take me for a ride in your car? I'm a good guy. I'm neutered, have my vaccinations, I'm heartworm negative and microchipped. Why don't you ask about me. I'd love that
Hi I'm Martini! True to my name I'm fun!!! I'm also smart and oh so loveable! Who wants to snuggle!!! I'm a spunky gal who just LOVES people. I love to get belly rubs and I've been told that I have the cutest wiggle butt ever. I'm on a mission looking for my person. I would be the best buddy ever. We can go on long walks, play in the yard and of course get lots of snuggles in. I'm a strong girl but I'm in obedience training now so I'm learning all my commands. Sit, stay, lay. I getting it all down pat. So I'll be my best for you. I'm spayed, have my vaccinations, am heartworm negative and microchipped. So you see, I'm ready to roll. I just need that special person to come and get me. Please hurry! I can't wait to meet you!
BIG LAP LOVING DOG DREAMS OF HIS FOREVER HOME- Roscoe is so sweet. He's an explorer in the play yard and keeps to whatever he was curious about. Once back inside, he takes treats and is ready to be spoiled. He wants to be a lap dog and climbs into your lap just so he can get close enough to give you kisses! He's just a lover looking for snuggles and hugs. Roscoe needs his furever family that can you make his wish come true.
TEDDY is an amazing Mastiff mix who is a giant cuddle bug that loves stuffed animals and all dogs, cats, small children, horses & donkeys. He loves to romp and play and because of his size - not his personality - would do better with a larger dog to play with. He is crate trained and house trained. Teddy has proven to be amazing with his foster mom's special needs nephew, so that can be a huge plus for the right adopter. He's really a very good boy and all he's asking for is the forever home he deserves to share all his love & kisses with.
Margo has exotic colored eyes and markings. Look how gorgeous! I caught her by surprise with my squeaky toy and camera flash in this photo. She acts more mature than brother Milo. She walks well on a leash. When introduced to our female tester she did good but we can tell she is more of a dominant female. She didn't hesitate to get in our dog's space and thoroughly sniff her all over. Once she was finished checking her out she did fine getting treats and hanging out.
Milo is very sweet, submissive and will sometimes piddle out of nervousness when meeting new people. He is very puppy-like and would be happy with a fenced yard to run off a little energy. He walks pretty well on a leash. He is very enthusiastic to meet new people and dogs. He had too much energy for our yard cats to stick around to meet.
Boots is an affectionate, playful large American bulldog. He is very friendly and super smart! He is up to date on his vaccines and is neutered. Boots is good with other dogs, but no cats please.
Jan is a super sweet young lady. She's approx. 5-6 years old and would love to be a part her own family. She's current on shots and will be fully vetted for her age at adoption. We require a fenced yard.
Ronald is a happy go lucky boy that was found as a stray so not quite sure of his exact age. He is up to date on shots and neutered. Ronald is heartworm positive but is currently being treated and the medication to continue his treatment will be provided to the adopter free of charge. He loves getting affection and kisses. He's a good car rider and is content to have his head out the window. He loves his squeaky ball and is content playing with it by himself. He gets along with the senior dog in his foster home. He knows how to use a doggy door and appears to be ok with children. Reaction to cats is unknown.
Ronald recently completed training at Sit Means Sit. Check out his video and pics! His training package included 1 year of group lessons which will transfer to any adopter.

Ronald is patiently waiting for a home and family of his own. Adoption fee applies. FENCED YARD REQUIRED!
Meet Trent - an adorable little beagle mix. Trent is approx. 5 years, and up to date on vetting and neutered. He is one of 7 litter mates that were owner surrendered to one of our rescue volunteers. All were very dehydrated and emaciated but now he's a healthy young boy. He's sad that he's the only one of the litter that hasn't been adopted, and he just can't understand why. He's a good boy and just wants a family to share his love with. Trent would love to become your family’s best friend forever.
Hey out there! I'm Ed! Just a happy fellow who really doesn't get flustered too easily. I'm looking for a family or person who I can love unconditionally and make laugh every day. I'm a comedian of sorts and never seem to run out of material. I also have some obedience training under my belt. Not to shabby right! Anyone who adopts me will talk to the guy that teaches me all this cool stuff. He ll tell you how he did it so you can continue with my training. I'm neutered, have all my vaccinations, am heart worm negative and microchipped. Basically ready to roll. All I need is a ride to your house. When you comin?
Hi, my name is CHARLIE! I am about a year old, up to date on my shots and a very active, happy, loving puppy. I love cuddles and sleeping in the bed (if I can). But, I am also crate trained and house broken. I get along with all dogs and love to play. I sit on command and now wait until you tell me it's okay to eat. I enjoy playing with kids, but have not spent time with babies. I am a total love bug and I love being a passenger in the car!
Casey is an approx. 6-7 year old Akita mix that needs security and kindness. She has been in foster for 3 years, and would love to find someone that understands her breed and needs. She has moderate anxiety specific to storms & fireworks - not uncommon for her breed - so she will need someone patient and willing to help her. It takes her some time to adjust and learn to trust new situations and people. She's good with other low-energy dogs, is well behaved and follows a routine very well. She's current on vetting, crate trained, housebroken and good on a leash. Please, if you have the time to devote to Casey and her special needs, consider giving her the loving home she so desperately needs.
Carol is very strong for her size. She's house & crate trained. She is a hyper little girl that is very loving. She loves going on adventures and meeting new people. Carol would love to have her very own family and forever home!
BONDED PAIR - These are two sisters, Lucy is the dark one and Sissy is the blonde they are always, and I mean ALWAYS together. These cuties must be adopted as a pair. We were told they are Chi and Dachshund. They are around 8 months old. The sweet pair are utd on shots, spayed and on heartworm/ tick prevention. They are still working on house training. These two love being outdoors!
TASHA: is a Female, estimate to be 3-4yrs old and about 55lbs. Tasha is a beautiful dog! She appears to have been someone's house dog but after a week no one has come for her. She walks well on a leash but can get excited and pull a little when she first gets out of her kennel. She loves interacting with people and meeting new dogs. She arrived with a younger male dog and is being housed with him. The shelter gives them separate feed bowls and have not had any issues with either. She did well when tested with small and large dogs. She has too much energy for our tester cats to appreciate and stick around to meet.
Hi everyone!! My name is Daisy!! The rescue is thinking I am about 3-4yrs old. I am a LOVER and just want my very own family to show just how much I love them. I am such a love bug that I can live with other dogs, cats, kids....just more to love! I can be super chill and relaxed. But I am still young enough that I do enjoy playing with my foster siblings.
I enjoy playing outside, getting attention from my people and having a great time.
I do have an eye that bothers me from time to time, but the vet assures me that I will be just fine!
This golden boy is Rick. He is the same color as a perfectly cooked chicken nugget, which is also his favorite treat. He 4.5 years old and his love language is touch, specifically scratching. Belly to booty and snout to tail, every spot is 'the spot' when you scratch it. And you must scratch it. He shows no aggressive behavior, gets along well with all other dogs and is uninterested in cats. Housebroken, crate trained, can catch a treat mid-air with amazing accuracy, but is leash-shy. He has a mild flea allergy, so flea preventatives are really important. The bad stuff: he is the blanket czar and will steal and stockpile infinite comfort items. Anything soft and/or fluffy will become part of his nest. Warm towels from the dryer will make his heart pitter-patter. You may join him, in his nest of supreme coziness... but you must never take anything away from it. You'll be severely guilted by the saddest eyes you've ever seen.
DRACO is very sweet, affectionate, and a Giant Baby. He loves to play and snuggle. He has not been exposed to children, so the foster is not sure how he would do.
He’s a very happy dog so he wags his tail really hard and you have to watch him with that sometimes because he could wag so hard that he actually hurts his tail and he’ll bust the tip of it open. He is just the biggest sweetheart and deserves his own home.
Hi, I am Cookie and I am ready for my forever home. I am about 5yrs old and told I am a Retriever mix. I am totally up to date on all of my vetting, (even got neutered...YIKES!) I was super lucky and saved from being euthanized. I am a really nice pup that enjoys the outdoors. I however, do NOT enjoy cats. I mean, i do, but just for the chase, so my foster says no cats in my new home for sure.
I am heartworm positive, however I have been on a slow kill treatment and my rescue says that they will keep providing my medicine until I get an all clear!
Right now I am not in the best of situations because my fosters do have cats, so they have me in a run or kenneled more than I want to be. I am desperate to find a home where I fit in and have my own people.
Please consider making me apart of your lovely home!
