Meet Kenzie (aka Lyngcha) – A Brave Little Soul Looking for Her Best Friend ❤️

Some dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves. Kenzie who her fosters have been calling Lyngcha had to learn it was safe to have one.

When Kenzie first arrived in foster care, she was completely shut down. She spent weeks hiding in her crate and was too frightened to interact with people or even go outside during the day. Watching her slowly learn to trust has been one of the most rewarding journeys we’ve ever witnessed.

Today, Lyngcha is a happy, playful, affectionate young girl who greets each day with a wagging tail and an adorable smile.

New Arrival -Stay Tuned

Wendy is the cuddliest little love bug!
She’s super sweet, smart, playful, and happiest when she can curl up in someone’s lap. She loves playing with other playful dogs, but when playtime is over, she’s more than ready for cuddle time.

Energy Level? Medium - High

House trained? Working on it. Wendy is still having some accidents in the house, particularly after playing. Seems potty pad trained

Describe how they are on leash? Very good.

Describe how they are with other dogs? Wendy loves to play with other playful dogs.

Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? She was fine meeting Dusty the cat.

Niffty
is a sweet and playful pup. She was hit by a car and survived! What a resilient girl. She has healed nicely and is ready for her forever home!

Energy Level?
Medium

House trained?
Yes

Describe how they are on leash?
She has come a long way. She was initially apprehensive, but now she is enjoying her walks. She is unsure of some surfaces, walkways, and hallways. With a little time and gentle coaxing, she has done much better.

Describe how they are with other dogs?
She is great! Niffty is friendly and comfortable with dogs big and small. She likes to be around dogs and cuddles with the resident dogs in her foster home.

Banks 1 years old Neutered Male

Poppy Seed is a sweet, smart, athletic girl who's a little shy with strangers at first, but given space, time, and a few treats, she'll warm up to you soon enough.

She's a wonderful communicator and will offer a soft growl when she needs space, which is just her polite way of asking for a minute. Once she's warmed up to you at her own pace, she's all in. Affectionate, playful, and convinced she deserves a seat at the dinner table. She already knows "sit," is learning "down," gives the gentlest "paw," walks great on leash, and loves her crate as a cozy, safe space.

Maisy
is an incredibly sweet, affectionate dog who is a joy to have around. She loves being part of whatever you're doing and quickly wins people over with her fun, social personality.

Energy Level?
Medium. Maisy has bursts of playful "mountain goat" energy and enjoys exploring, but she's equally happy relaxing with a sunny spot for a nap.

House-trained?
Mostly. Maisy does well about going outside to potty but has had some accidents on the rugs
, so her foster has found it easiest to keep those picked up while she continues to build good habits.

Meet 3+ year old Kiwi! FOSTER TO ADOPT

Kiwi is a sweet, affectionate bully mix with a playful streak and a heart full of love for her people. Tennis balls are the pinnacle of canine joy as far as she's concerned, and she'll happily fetch one for you (though "drop it" is still under negotiation). When she's not playing, she's nuzzling up close for quality cuddle time.
