King

King is a brave and resilient boy who was found abandoned, where he had been on his own for at least three weeks. While we don’t have much information about his past, one thing is clear – King is a strong, smart, and playful dog who is eager to learn and thrive in a loving home. He is estimated to be about two years of age.King is a friendly and affectionate dog ready to bond with the right person. He’s curious and shows interest in the other dogs around him, but can be dog selective. No cats are recommended. Older children would be best. King is still in the process of learning and needs some training and socializing, but with patience and consistency he has the potential to flourish into a well-behaved companion. If you’re looking for a strong, playful adventure buddy with loads of potential and a heart full of love, King might just be the one for you!

Scarlett

IN FOSTER! Scarlett is a sweet three-year-old Rottweiler mix, tipping the scales at approximately 72 pounds. This affectionate girl is brimming with love, but she does require some training and a strong owner to guide her. Scarlett’s boundless energy can make her quite “bull moosey” at times, particularly when she’s raring to go. Once she has expended her energy in a good zoom, she transforms into the ultimate couch potato ready for a long snuggle session with her special person. Scarlett is best suited for a home with older children as her playful yet clumsy nature could cause a bit of chaos with younger kids. She would also thrive best in an environment where she is the only pet, allowing her to soak up all the attention and affection from her owner. Scarlett would prefer plenty of space to run and explore, making a home with a large yard ideal. She loves to go on adventures and does wonderful on a leash. Scarlett’s perfect match would be an owner who can provide her with the physical activity and mental stimulation she craves, ensuring she remains happy and healthy.

Meatloaf

Meatloaf will do anything for love! Born with the heart of a warrior and the soul of a softie, Meatloaf is a four-year-old Mastiff Mix who’s lived the ballad of the underdog. Surrendered from a life where he at times had to fend for himself, he’s now looking for a forever stage to call home. This adorable ham is a showstopper. A lovable lug who’ll steal your heart faster than a guitar solo at midnight. He’s fairly quiet, but when he misses his people, oh…the whine is pure heartbreak. He’s got a high prey drive, so no cats, please (unless you want a dramatic chase scene that even the real Meatloaf would’ve written a power ballad about). He seems curious of other canine companions, but can be a bit sensitive so a slow and proper introduction is required. While he’s eager to please and picks things up fast, he’s still tuning his performance. A bit of training and patience will help him hit those high notes of good behavior. Until then, no small children are recommended because this overgrown teddy bear doesn’t quite know his own size on stage. Click the ADOPT button if you’re interested in meeting Meatloaf!

Apollo

This handsome two-year-old was recently returned into our care at no fault of his own. We know he would love to find his true, forever home. Apollo is the definition of a gentle giant (100lbs to be exact!).
Although he may have some hesitations with new canine friends, he seems to do well after slow introductions but is noted to be selective. Cats in the home are not recommended.
He is very smart, loving and loves a good adventure. Because of this, an active adopter would be best. Click the ADOPT button if you’re interested in meeting Apollo!
Adopt

Jaxon

One-year-old Jaxon is a very sweet and friendly dog who is very excited, has lots of energy and enjoys his naps. He loves to go on runs and long walks and to smell everything. He is eager and quick to learn and absolute loves food and treats. His favorite form of activity is running around the backyard and chasing his toys. Inside the house his favorite place is on anything comfy. Jaxon has a very carefree, curious, playful and friendly personality. He is very energetic and requires a lot of exercise but he does enjoy relaxing after playing and is happy to play with toys by himself. A well suited family would be an active home that has no children or small animals as Jaxon does love to use his mouth to explore. Click the ADOPT button if you’re interested in meeting Jaxon!
Adopt

Boots

Meet Boots, a one and a half year old bursting with energy, smarts, and happiness. He’s a high spirited and excitable guy who loves to be on the move and is always ready for the next adventure. Boots is incredibly smart and eager to learn. He’s currently working on basic obedience and picking up the game of fetch. He would thrive in a home with lots of space to run, play, and burn off energy. Boots needs an active person or family who can keep up with his enthusiastic personality and continue his training journey with consistency, patience, and most importantly: lots of love. Because of his excitement and energy, we’re recommending a home without small children. Boots can be a bit too much for little ones and does best in an environment where everyone understands his big personality. He’s selective with other dogs, so slow introductions are a must, and he has no known history with cats, so a cat free home may be the safest bet for now. If you’re looking for a smart, joyful, and energetic companion who will bring a lot of life and love into your world, Boots might just be your perfect match.

Jack Sparrow

One and a half year old Jack Sparrow is a soft hearted and playful large ball of energy. He loves to be around people (small or large humans) outside and explore new places. He has a voracious appetite for activity complemented with afternoon naps. He is open to meeting new people, and is playful with other dogs when off leash. He typically likes to start his evening with snuggles before winding up on his bed for sleep. He is not a barker. He can be left alone inside for a few hours at a time without worry about him getting into mischief. He has his chill time before he is ready for the next walk. He can jump, so be careful to keep treats away and in high places. Jack Sparrow has a loveable smile, and cannot wait to join a family. Interested in meeting Jack Sparrow? Click the ADOPT button!

Buddy

Meet Buddy, our sweet eight-year-old Boxer mix who’s looking for a second chance at love. This gentle old soul has the kind of loyal heart that only time can grow, and he’s been deeply loved in his past home. Sadly, Buddy was recently returned to our shelter through no fault of his own, and it’s clear he’s heartbroken to be back. Buddy is a calm, affectionate companion who doesn’t seem to mind meeting new people. He’d do best in a quiet retirement home where he can soak up all the attention and settle in for peaceful days. He would prefer no other animals in the home and he hasn’t really spent much time around children. If you’re looking for a devoted friend to share life’s slower moments, Buddy is your guy.

Gregory

Gregory is an eight-month-old husky with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. This sweet boy is playful, affectionate, and loves nothing more than being with his people. He’s full of puppy energy and personality and he’ll happily soak up all the attention you can give him. Gregory has done well with the dogs in his previous home, but will require a slow and proper introduction to ensure he can coexist peacefully. He thinks cats are for chasing, so a cat free home is recommended. This lovable husky is still young and will need a family ready to give him the time, training, and love he craves.

Keith

Keith is a sweet and silly five-year-old large hound mix who’s looking for a second chance at a forever home. Recently returned to our shelter through no fault of his own, Keith still has so much love to give.
This big boy is full of personality. He’s active, playful, and adores the water. He’s got a goofy, fun loving side that will keep you laughing, but he also has a gentle soul that just wants to be loved. Keith is still working on a few things, like his leash manners and basic training, but he’s a smart pup who will thrive with a patient, consistent routine. He’d do best in a home with older children or adults only, simply because his size and energy might be overwhelming for little ones. He did well with the cat in his previous home, though he’ll need slow, supervised introductions to any new feline friends. Keith is also selective with other dogs, so careful introductions are important if he’s to have a canine sibling. If you’re looking for an adventurous companion with a lot of love (and a little bit of mischief), click on the ADOPT button. He’s ready to make a splash in your life.
Adopt

Q

Six-year-old Q is looking for a Foster to Adopt home as he is in dire need of weight loss and a possible dental (covered by our shelter!) Although he has only been here for a short time, he has immediately won over the hearts of our team and volunteers as he is quite the gentle giant. He is incredibly goofy, yet laid back. Q has not been around cats, nor has he been frequently socialized with other dogs. He has been noted to be friendly to children, however.

Adopt

Coda

Meet Coda, a one-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with a heart full of love and a playful, cuddly personality. This sweet boy is looking for a calm and patient home where he can feel safe and continue to grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Coda is affectionate and active, always ready for a walk or a game, but equally happy to curl up beside you for some quiet time. He can be protective by nature and has shown some resource guarding tendencies, so he’ll need an adopter who understands his boundaries and is committed to ongoing training and socialization. Because of this, a home without other pets or young children is best. Coda will thrive as the only animal in the home, and older, dog-savvy kids would be a better fit. With structure, love, and a calm environment, Coda will be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. Click the ADOPT button to meet Coda!
