Buffy and Tina are buddies who need to find a home together. Buffy is a maltese and Tina is a chihuahua. Their owner was a homeless woman so these two little dogs were very dependant on each other. They were frequently left alone for long periods of time. Buffy is a little skittish around strange people at first but warms up quickly to anyone with a lap for her to snuggle on. Tina is a little more nervous and is frightened of men. Both love their walks and sniffing out all the new smells. Both are crate, leash and potty trained and love treats and snoozing on the couch. Both are UTD on shots, spayed and on flea preventatives. Neither has ever been around small children. The perfect home would be a quiet husehold with a patient loving lady and a fenced yard to play in.

Maggie loves getting out into our outdoor pens for a good run! There’s nothing like watching her enjoy the fresh air and stretch those legs. She’s also working on her leash-walking skills and learning more every day! With patience, encouragement, and a little practice, she’s on her way to becoming a wonderful walking companion.

Whether he’s zooming around the yard or showing off his adorable derpy personality, he’s sure to keep a smile on your face! His happy-go-lucky spirit and sweet heart make him one special guy. Sometimes the big world can feel a little scary, and new things may take him some time to get used to.

Meet Linus, a 2-year-old male pug mix. He was found as a stray, so not much is known about him! He can be an escape artist so it is imperative that he have a secure place to potty and be on a sturdy harness for walks! He does well with mild mannered dogs and would need a home without younger children. He can be a little bit excitable when he is playing.

He is potty trained and crate trained, but will need reminders in his forever home. He is very much a puppy and loves to play, so he will need a family that can give him lots of attention and play time! Once he's worn out for the day, he loves snuggles!

Meet Sunshine! Sunshine is a three year old sweet little Chihuahua mix who is ready to find her forever home! Sunshine came to the Ripley County Humane Society from the Dog Warden. When she arrived, she was dealing with Canine Papillomavirus. Thankfully, it has since gone down, but adopters should be aware that it can flare up again in the future. This little girl has a personality that lives up to her name! Sunshine loves to wag her tail, and she absolutely loves getting attention. She'll happily jump up for pets and soak up all the affection she can get. We aren't sure yet how Sunshine feels about other dogs, cats, or children, so those introductions will need to be handled carefully and patiently.

Sophie is a sweet older pug. We believe she is about 8 years old. She loves to lay on the couch and cuddle! She is calm and gets along with other dogs, cats and children.

Meet Zara & Zariah! These two sweet souls are looking for a special family who will give them the time, patience, and love they need to feel safe.

Meet Luna! A Little Soul Looking for a Safe Place to Shine. Sometimes, the sweetest souls are the ones who need a little extra patience and understanding. Meet Luna, a beautiful Blue Heeler who is still learning that the world doesn't have to be such a scary place. Luna is a very timid, fearful girl who needs time to feel safe around new people. She won't be the kind of pup who instantly runs up to greet you, but with patience, kindness, and a little love, we hope she'll learn that there are good people out there who won't let her down. Luna is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can decompress at her own pace without being rushed or pressured.

Niles is the most handsome 1yr brindle boy you've ever seen. His underbite will capture your heart and his teeth are so pearly white he should be doing toothpaste ads. Niles is getting neutered this week and will go both pee and poo outside. We are still working on his marking tendencies so he wears a belly band for right now while getting the hang of it.

Daphne is the sweetest petite apricot colored 2yr little lady ever. She has the biggest brown eyes for her little 15 pound body, and she uses them to get her way...a lot. Don't let her size fool you, inside that tiny package is the heart of a guard dog. She wants to let you know when she feels anyone is in danger. She has never had boundaries in her short life so we have been working on them to make not only her forever family happy but especially her so she knows not everything has to feel like a threat. When we are on a walk and if she starts to bark at someone or something we say, " thank you for telling me Daphne" and the next time we say " leave it" so she learns she doesn't need to be concerned with it but that her help was appreciated. The barking has gotten so much better, she only does it once or twice and then moves on with our walk. She doesn't like the top of her head kissed and that's just fine because she is a pug through and through and loves to sit right on your lap and feel like the princess she is.

Meet Lucy! Lucy and her brother, Oliver, are bonded and must be adopted together. They are the sweetest, happiest golden-era brother and sister duo. They are both very sprightly for being 13! Their temperaments are lovely; Lucy is definitely more independent. She likes to be close to her humans but isn’t super snuggly. Neither of them seem to like / be used to being held so wouldn’t describe them as “lap dogs” necessarily, but they do enjoy sleeping right next to you on the couch / wherever and follow you from room to room. They have been well-socialized and I’m told they “went everywhere" with their owners. They love bananas.

Meet Oliver! He and his sister Lucy are bonded and must be adopted together. They are the sweetest, happiest golden-era brother and sister duo. They are both very sprightly for being 13! Their temperaments are lovely; Oliver has the biggest smile and bounces when he gets excited — so cute! Because of his vision and hearing loss, he does occasionally howl softly (as much as a pug can howl) if he wakes and doesn’t know where Lucy or his people are. Neither of them seem to like / be used to being held (just seems like maybe they weren’t held / cuddled a lot in that way) so wouldn’t describe them as “lap dogs” necessarily, but they do enjoy sleeping right next to you on the couch / wherever and follow you from room to room. They have been well-socialized and I’m told they “went everywhere" with their owners. They love bananas. Like any pug I’ve ever met, they both act like they’ve never been fed a day in their lives. Oliver does best when he’s hand fed with palm open, as he will chomp down hard when taking a treat — it doesn’t seem to be in an aggressive way and zero sign that he would bite/snap at anyone — think it’s likely more related to his vision and living most of his life as one of four pugs in the family.

Looking for a good ol' dog with a heart of gold? Meet Freddie! This handsome gentleman may be 10 years old, but he still has plenty of love to give and life to enjoy! Freddie is super friendly, lovable, and as laidback as they come. He's not in a hurry to do anything - he'd rather take life at his own pace, enjoy the fresh air, and spend his days being a happy dog. He especially loves being outside and putting his nose to work, treeing those little critters whenever he gets the chance! Freddie is house-trained, neutered, and up to date on his vaccines, making him ready to settle into a loving home.

Meet Holly Anne! Your Future Home Protector and Playtime Partner! Looking for a girl with a big personality, a playful spirit, and a little bit of sass? Meet Holly Anne! This beautiful hound girl has plenty of puppy energy packed into her personality, and she’s ready to find a family of her very own! Holly Anne can be quite the talker when she’s in her kennel or her own space, but once she’s outside, her playful, goofy side really shines! She loves to run around, have fun, and enjoy her time outdoors. She’s also a fan of going for walks, so she’d make a great companion for someone who enjoys getting outside with their four-legged friend! We think Holly Anne could make a wonderful home watchdog, too! She’s got the kind of personality that could make her protective of her home while still being a silly, lovable girl with her people.
