Meet Boots! ❤️

This sweet young guy has spent his life so far at the end of a chain. But thankfully, that all changed when he was rescued!

Boots is quickly learning what life inside a home is all about, and he's doing GREAT! He's such a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets and is soaking up all the love and attention he's been missing.

We've already taken care of his vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchip. Now all he needs is a family to call his own!

Boots has already gotten his second chance. Now we're hoping for one more miracle — a forever home for this very deserving boy. ❤️

Adoption fee: $150

Who wants to adopt Lua who thinks taking naps are her job?Lua is a 3yo (estimated) Anatolian Shepherd @ 73 lbs who is spayed, UTD on vaccines, fully vetted, and completely housetrained. She has been an absolute joy to have in our family. She is very friendly, quiet (rarely barks), calm, and easy going. She does well in the crate and prefers it when left alone and sometimes when she just wants to chill in it. She loves naps and bedtime and sleeps like it’s her job! She likes chew toys and treats and giving love licks to anyone willing to accept. Lua LOVES toys and plays fetch with herself or anyone wanting to join in.

Meet Malibu, our sweet, shy girl who deserves a fresh start!Malibu is a 2½-year-old Great Pyrenees with a gentle soul and a timid personality. Right now, the world seems a little overwhelming to her, and she’s still trying to figure out who she can trust. But underneath that shy exterior is a sweet girl who just needs someone willing to give her the time, patience, and love she deserves.Unfortunately, she also came to us with an injury on one of her hind legs. She’s not putting much weight on it, and from the looks of things, we’re wondering if she may have spent time tied up. We can’t say for certain what happened.

Meet Berg!Berg is just 1 year old, which means he’s got plenty of puppy energy packed into that body. He’s friendly, outgoing, and always ready for whatever is happening next. Walk? Yes. Playtime? Absolutely. Snacks? You now have his undivided attention.And when we say Berg is food motivated, we mean VERY food motivated. If there’s a treat involved, Berg is suddenly the most dedicated student you’ve ever met. He already knows how to sit and shake, and with his love of snacks, we think he’ll be a lot of fun to continue training.Berg seems to do well with other dogs and would love a home that can keep up with his energy and give him plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and learn.

Meet Jax, our handsome 3-year-old boy with a big personality, plenty of energy, and a serious love for belly rubs!Jax is an active guy who is always ready for playtime, walks, and adventures. He loves being around people and soaking up attention, and once the excitement settles down, he’s more than happy to roll over for some belly rubs and cuddles.One major bonus? Jax is completely house trained! He keeps his kennel clean and has had no accidents. He does get excited on walks and can be a strong puller, so he’ll need someone willing to continue working with him on his leash manners. With consistency and training, we think he has so much potential.When it comes to other dogs, Jax would do best with a female dog.

Meet Rocky a 6-year-old Lab/Pit mix who is living proof that age is just a number when you are THIS EXCITED TO BE ALIVE. ❤️And before anyone says anything about his photos… we know. We tried. Rocky simply does not have time to stand still and pose when there are people to love, things to sniff, and approximately 47 reasons to wag his entire body. This guy wakes up every day absolutely THRILLED that the earth is still spinning and he gets to be here for it.Rocky is a super happy, high-energy guy who LOVES to play, especially fetch, and loves attention just as much. He knows sit and lay, is housebroken, and can be left home for a normal workday without destroying the place.

MEET ELLEElle is a sweet, hesitant Great Pyrenees mix who is learning what it means to feel safe in the domestic world. She was originally rescued as a stray alongside her litter of puppies, and while her past may be a mystery, it’s clear that life as a beloved household pet is still very new to her.Elle is nervous and unsure, and she needs a patient, gentle adopter who is willing to let her navigate new experiences at her own pace. She isn’t a dog who will immediately walk into a new home and know exactly what is expected of her. She’ll need kindness, consistency, gentle handling, and someone willing to help build her confidence as she learns that people, routines, and everyday household life can be safe.Her ideal home:• Patient, gentle and willing to give her time to adjust• No other dogs• No children recommended• Cats are unknown• A quieter, predictable home would likely suit her best* Fenced yardElle would greatly benefit from formal in-home training lessons with her new family.

Meet Petey Petey is estimated to be around 4 years old, and while we don’t know everything about his past, we know enough to know that this sweet boy deserved so much better.Petey was found neglected and extremely underweight. Somewhere along the way, the people who were supposed to care for him failed him. But somehow, Petey never let that take away his sweetness.His tail tells you everything you need to know about him. ❤️ It’s a happy, happy tail that seems to have a mind of its own, wagging away whenever someone gives him a little attention. After everything he’s been through, Petey is still excited to see people.

Meet Buster! Buster came to us from another shelter that was over-crowded, we do not know much about his life before he came to us. Buster is about 3 years old. Our best guess for breed is a lab mix. He does have a beautiful curly red and gold coat. He is about 75 pounds.

Buster is a friendly boy and very eager to please! He loves to go for walks and runs and would love to have a big yard to run around in!
