Meet Mabel!
Mabel is a 5-month-old sweetheart with the perfect mix of puppy energy and cuddle bug charm. If you're looking for a best friend who believes personal space is optional, Mabel is your girl! She loves to snuggle, be close to her people, and soak up all the love she can get.
Like any puppy, Mabel is full of playful energy and absolutely loves her toys. She's food motivated, which makes training fun, and she's already crate trained. She's also making great progress with potty training and just needs a family committed to helping her continue learning.
Mabel would thrive in a home with another playful dog who can match her energy and help build her confidence.

Meet Winston

A 1.5 year old sweet agent of chaos who needs some work but is worth the effort! We believe him to be half coonhound and half lab.

Winston is…
High Energy
Crate & Potty Trained
Kid Friendly
Dog friendly (AFTER a slow intro)

His biggest areas of opportunity are impulse control, learning to embrace moments of calm even when exciting things are happening, and greeting other dogs, especially while on leash.

While he lives with a cat now he does want to chase him. He doesn’t seem to want to hurt him but is still working on “leave it” so he’d do best in home with no cats at this time.

Meet Mack

Mack is a 2-year-old Bluetick Coonhound looking for his forever home. Despite not having the most stable start to life and being bounced around between a couple of homes, Mack hasn’t let it dim his spirit. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy just waiting for the right person to give him the love and stability he deserves.

Mack is great with other dogs and is currently living with 3 other coonhounds in his foster home. He does need a home without children, and he would do best with someone who understands hounds and is willing to give him patience, consistency, and time to settle in.

Henna is a 1.5-year-old, 50 lb sweetheart who loves nothing more than being close to her people. She is extremely affectionate and happiest when she’s cuddled up next to you — she truly wants to be the center of your world. If you’re looking for a dog who will actually laugh at your jokes (or at least wag her tail while you tell them), meet Henna!Henna’s Highlights:• Spayed, microchipped & fully vetted• Crate trained• Potty trained• Loves fetch & tug-of-war• Enjoys lounging in the pool, the beach, & playing in the water• Good with kids (just needs reminders not to jump up!)Henna can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, her loving and playful personality shines.

Meet Sandy a 6 year old 33 pound Shepard mix. Sandy was in a kill shelter in Texas with a injured leg, Project Hope pulled her and when we took her to the vet the x-ray showed she had been shot. Her leg had to be amputated. Sandy is all healed up and being a tripod doesn't slow her down. She loves to run around the yard and when time for a nap she will cuddle up on the couch.
Sandy is a little shy and takes a little time to get to know you, but after that she loves to be with you! She gets along with other dogs and would love a playmate. She gets along with cats, but might try to play with them.

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 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 Oscar, a sweet 10-month-old Cocker Spaniel who was found as a stray and rescued from an local Animal Shelter. He’s up to date on all vaccinations, preventatives, and has completed all blood work. Oscar is playful, loving, and great with other animals. He would do well in a home with or without children, and he’s already housebroken, which is a big plus. He still needs training because he tends to dart out the front door, so a secure fenced backyard is important for him. Oscar has minor allergies and benefits from 2-3 allergy pills twice a day. He’s a happy, energetic pup eager for love, guidance, and the chance to enjoy a safe, happy life.If you think Oscar might be the right fit for your family, we’d love for you to apply and help him find his forever home.

Meet Dottie!
Dottie may have had a rough start to life, but you’d never know it by meeting her! This sweet girl came to us from DACC with her five puppies, and despite what her past may have looked like, she’s full of love, personality, and fun. ❤️
Her torn-up ear may tell a little story about her past, but Dottie isn’t dwelling on it. She’s too busy enjoying life and making friends! She’s social, fun-loving, and gets along with kids, dogs, and cats. Basically, Dottie is ready to be everyone’s best friend!
Dottie is also working hard toward clearing her heartworm treatment, and she can’t wait for the day when she can put that chapter behind her and focus on her happily-ever-after.
Now all this girl needs is a family to call her own — one that will show her just how wonderful life can be when you’re truly loved.

Courtesy Post for LuckyMeet Lucky, an male blue brindle boy estimated to be between 2 to 5 years old. Lucky has a sturdy, muscular build, a distinct brindle coat, striking amber eyes, and an expressive, handsome face.
​Neighbors reported seeing a car driving around 10 mph out of the condo suburbs strike a dog matching his description, but thankfully, he doesn't seem to have sustained any serious injuries. He is currently eating, drinking, and moving around comfortably in our backyard setup. Lucky has a naturally calm demeanor, loves cuddles and kisses, and is a genuinely sweet companion. He knows how to sit, responds positively to car rides, and enjoys walks, though he does pull on the leash since he hasn't had much leash training.
​He is friendly, non-aggressive, and submissive.

Meet Roman! ❤️
Roman | 3 years old | 115 lbs | Cane Corso
Meet Roman, a big handsome boy with an even bigger heart! ❤️ Born in December 2022, Roman is a 115-pound Cane Corso who absolutely LOVES his people.
Roman is definitely an attached-at-the-hip kind of dog. If his people are around, he wants to be right there with them. He loves being included and is happiest when he can hang out with his favorite humans.
He knows his sit and shake, and he is an absolute rockstar in the car.
Roman can be a little shy when meeting new people and needs some time to warm up. Give him about 30 minutes, though, and you may find this giant boy trying to climb right into your lap! ❤️ Once he knows you, he is incredibly affectionate and loves being close.
He is still working on a few things, too.

Pippa has settled into a routine like a champ and is discovering that being part of a family is pretty wonderful. While she's still building confidence, she's an independent, playful little lady who loves doing things at her own pace.
She gets along beautifully with other dogs and has been wonderful with children. Pippa is crate trained and absolutely loves her crate—it's her safe, happy place where she can relax and recharge.
She's making great progress with potty training and learning good manners every day.
