3. Ziggy
Adult (3 years 10 months) · Female · Rottweiler / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 30 mi from Homer










Ziggy is a beautiful, happy-go-lucky girl with a heart full of love and a personality that makes everyone smile! She absolutely adores everyone she meets and has done wonderfully with adults of all ages, as well as teenagers. This sweet girl already has some impressive manners and routines under her belt! She knows how to sit, walks on a leash, loves a good game of fetch (and knows how to drop!), and is crate trained. Ziggy is always up for a little fun! She loves car rides and seems like the kind of girl who would happily tag along on just about any adventure. While she's still new to her foster home, hiking trips are already on the agenda, and we have a feeling she's going to love every minute! At home, Ziggy has the perfect balance of playful and relaxed.

4. Gerald
Adult (1 year) · Male · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 30 mi from Homer








Meet Gerald, a giant, cuddly baby who is 100% convinced he’s a lapdog! Sweet as can be and endlessly goofy, this oversized puppy gets along wonderfully with kids of all ages, adults, and other dogs. When he’s not throwing his favorite squeaky toys around the room, Gerald’s primary mission is snuggling—whether that means laying across your feet, leaning in for endless pets, or using you as his personal mattress. Because he thrives on human connection and just wants to be part of the action, Gerald would do best with a family where someone works from home or is open to doggy daycare. His ideal adopters won't mind a little extra fur, routine drool, and a gentle giant who is still learning spatial awareness and realizing he's slightly too big to actually fit in your lap.
Read more about Gerald
Because Gerald is a guardian breed, he will need a home with a fence or dedicated leash walking. If you’re ready for an affectionate, hilarious lovebug to brighten your home, Gerald is your guy! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

5. Apollo
Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (long coat) · 30 mi from Homer









Meet Apollo, a sweet little Yorkie who is still learning that the world and the people in it are safe! Because Apollo didn’t have much human socialization before coming into rescue, he is very timid at first and needs a calm, patient person, preferably at home alot, willing to give him time and space to settle in. It takes him about three weeks to truly open up, but once he trusts you, he becomes your devoted little shadow—following you everywhere, keeping you company, and cozying up right at your feet. Interestingly, Apollo isn't shy around other dogs at all! He lights up around canine companions of any size, especially bigger dogs and loves to join in on playtime, and gains so much confidence from having a doggy buddy to guide him.
Read more about Apollo
His ideal home includes a securely fenced yard for outside sniffing and exploring, plus a friendly, playful resident dog to help show him the ropes. If you have a peaceful heart, a little patience, and a cozy spot near your feet, Apollo is ready to grow into your most loyal friend! Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

8. Sir Charles
Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 48 mi from Homer



All hail Sir Charles III! Being Australian royalty, his new decree is that he requires a certain type of attention. This attention is basically knowing what he wants, before he wants it. That means that humans are at his beck and call especially around dinner time. He requires a private dining experience because he guards what is precious to him (this includes toys, food or food bags, and anything else he deems royally important). He doesn’t think twice about who his playmates are, whether they be royal subjects or peasants, he plays with them all, big and small. While Sir Charles weighs in on the scales at a mere 12 pounds, his attitude weighs in like that of a great white shark Though unlike a great white, he doesn’t want to devour everyone in his path, for he is still a young pup and learning how to be a proper royal. Sir Charles is available to be adopted to an approved home.

Adult · Female · Chihuahua (short coat) · 48 mi from Homer



Coco Bean is about 2 years old and weighs 7 lbs. She is a very sweet girl once she gets to know her people. She is super shy at first but has never tried to bite! She is more of a flight-risk due to fear. She will need a quiet home with someone who will give her time to settle and gain trust. She is so sweet and playful once she feels safe and secure!

10. Pirate
5 Months 28 Days · Male · Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed · 49 mi from Homer





Ahoy Mateys! I’m Pirate, and I’m searching for my FOREVER crew!
I’m an adorably scruffy mixed fellow who loves to play with other dogs! I’m around 6 months old now and roughly 35 lbs of pure love, fun, and puppy kisses!
Don’t worry, my eye patch isn’t real!
I am crate trained and working hard on my potty training, doing great with it while on my foster family’s routine. I thrive on a routine! I’m still just a young pup learning the ropes, but I’m trying my very best to be the goodest boy!
Now, here’s the part of my story that makes my little pirate heart sad…
Read more about Pirate
I was returned for being “awful,” as they put it. I call it pirate mutiny because what a conspira-sea!!
But my foster mom says she has absolutely no idea why anyone would say I’m awful, because I’m sweet, loving, attentive, smart, and playful. Thank goodness for my rescuers who see me for the sweet, joyful boy I am!
I may not have been the right treasure for someone else, but I just KNOW there’s a family out there who will see that I’m worth more than all the gold in a pirate’s treasure chest!
I am a medium-high energy young man, and I would love my very own home with another pup sibling or more to sail the open seas through this thing called life together! I want a family who will play with me, teach me, love me, and understand that I’m still a puppy figuring out this big world.
I don’t need a perfect ship or a chest full of gold. I just need someone who will love me, be patient with me, and promise that this time, my forever really means FOREVER.
Could YOU be my captain? Could I be the missing treasure your family has been searching for?
If you want to make me a part of your forever, I promise to bring a whole lot of love, laughter, adventure, and puppy kisses aboard your ship!
Please share my story, mateys! My forever family might just be one share away!
Fair winds from the high seas,
Love, Pirate

14. Ellie II
5 Months 15 Days · Female · Cane Corso Mastiff / Great Dane / Mixed · 49 mi from Homer



Hi, I’m Ellie!
My life hasn’t always been filled with love, warm beds, and kind hands.
You see, my four siblings and I spent the beginning of our lives living on the streets, just trying to survive. We didn’t know what it felt like to be safe or loved. Eventually, animal control picked us up, and we found ourselves in a shelter. Thankfully, someone saw that we deserved a second chance, and my siblings and I were rescued!
Now I’m learning what it means to be a loved little girl, but I still have a long way to go.
Read more about Ellie II
I’m a sweet, happy girl with a gentle heart, but the world is still a pretty scary place to me. I want to trust people, I really do, but sometimes my past makes that hard. I just need a little extra time to understand that kind hands are here to love me, not hurt me.
I absolutely LOVE having other dogs around! They help me feel safe, give me confidence, and remind me that everything is going to be okay. Having a furry friend in my forever home would mean so much to me!
My crate is my safe place. It’s where I feel protected when the world gets overwhelming. I’m also still learning that I get to go outside to potty now. For so long, I didn’t have that choice, so sometimes I still potty in my crate. I’m trying my best, I promise! I just need someone who understands that learning a whole new way of life takes time.
I’m not looking for someone who expects me to be perfect. I’m looking for someone who will love me while I learn.
Someone patient. Someone gentle. Someone who will celebrate my little victories, give me grace on my hard days, and show me that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.
I’ve already survived the hardest chapter of my life. Now I’m just hoping someone will give me the chance to write a beautiful new one.
Will you be the person who teaches me what forever feels like?
Love,
Ellie

15. Chestnut
Adult (1 year) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) · 49 mi from Homer


Hey, Everyone! I'm Chestnut!
Hi, everyone! I am new to the rescue so I’m still getting settled into my foster home, so my foster is learning all the little things that make me special! But there are a few things we already know for sure: I’m full-grown, fully vetted, and ready to find my forever home! ❤️
I came to the rescue with my sister Reece, and having her by my side has helped me feel so much safer and more comfortable in this big, new world. I’m a sweet boy who wants nothing more than to be loved, and I’m slowly but surely coming out of my shell!
Read more about Chestnut
I absolutely LOVE treats, and I’m even starting to discover how fun toys can be! I’m still learning the ropes of house training. Since I spent time in a shelter where I didn’t get to go outside every day, I had to use my kennel when nature called. With patience, consistency, and a little encouragement, I’m learning what it means to be a house pup!
I may still be figuring things out, but I have so much love to give and can’t wait to find a family who will give me the chance to shine. Could you be the one to give me my happily ever after?

16. Reece
Adult (1 year) · Female · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 49 mi from Homer


Meet Reece!
Hi, everyone! My name is Reece, and I’m the new girl here at the rescue! ❤️
When I first arrived at the shelter, I was a very scared girl, and I’m still a little nervous in my foster home. But I’m quickly learning that I’m safe and that there are people who want nothing more than to love me.
Deep down, I really want to be loved. I just need a little extra time to feel comfortable and learn to trust. I’m looking for a patient, understanding family who will give me the time and space I need to blossom into the confident, happy girl I know I can be.

The good news is that I have my brother, Chestnut, by my side! Having him with me helps me feel so much safer and more comfortable as I adjust to this big new world.
I may be a little shy at first, but with a little patience, a lot of love, and a family willing to help me find my confidence, I know I’m going to make someone very happy. Could that someone be you?

18. Boone
Young (7 months) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 49 mi from Homer






Boone is the sweetest, most loving boy who is still waiting for someone to choose him. Despite being housebroken, crate trained, great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and having an amazing personality, Boone hasn’t received a single bit of adoption interest. He tries so hard to be the perfect boy, and we just can’t understand why he keeps getting overlooked.
Read more about Boone
Boone had a rough start in life with two broken back knees, but his spirit never broke! At his recent vet visit, the veterinarian was incredibly impressed with how well his knees have healed! His little legs may look a bit wonky, but he can run, hike, swim, and play just like any other dog!
Boone loves car rides, adventures, cuddles, and giving gentle kisses. He’s an easygoing, happy boy with so much love to give.
Boone has already overcome so much. Now all he needs is someone to look past his imperfect little legs and see his perfectly beautiful heart.
He doesn’t need a perfect home or a perfect life. He just wants a family to love him forever.

19. Sombra
1 Year · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 49 mi from Homer





Hi! I’m Sombra!
I’m a very playful girl who LOVES getting outside to run and have fun! I’ll chase a ball around the yard—and sometimes I even bring it back! I absolutely LOVE the water and would happily spend the day at the lake with you!
I’m also very treat-motivated, so snacks and I are already best friends!
My story didn’t start out very happy. I was found wandering after being shot with a BB/pellet gun, and sadly, no one ever came looking for me. But thankfully, I’m safe now, my wounds have healed, and I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life!
Read more about Sombra
I’m dog-friendly with slow introductions, and I’m hoping my forever family will see what a fun, loving girl I am—not just the color of my coat.
Could you be my forever adventure buddy?

Hi! I'm a wiggly bundle of love looking for my forever home. I may be a little puppy, but I have a big heart!

I love to talk to you—especially when I don't get my way! I have lots of personality and always like to let you know what I'm thinking. I'm also a big snuggler and my favorite place to sleep is right next to you. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly, and playful best friend, I just might be the perfect puppy for you!

Adopting a dog in Homer
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
