AFTER NINE YEARS, TITUS HAS LOST THE ONLY HOME HE’S EVER KNOWN.

Titus weighs 19 pounds, is fully vetted and potty trained. He deserves a soft bed, a loving family, and the security of knowing he’s home for good. Nine years old is no age to start over—but he still has so much love to give. ❤️

I like to take life at a slow, easy pace
I’m very friendly with everyone I meet
I’m potty trained!
I’m gentle, sweet & easygoing

Hi! My name is Curry! I am a handsome fawn 6 year old boy but I am not your average senior. I still enjoy and require plenty of exercise and will get restless without it! I am high energy and enjoy a 'job' to occupy me. I am friendly with other dogs, even those smaller than me. I needed a short introduction to the resident boxers and was curious but not aggressive. It was found out that I do not like cats, so a cat free home is needed. I love to play catch, play fetch, car rides, and play with toys all night! I am house trained, crate trained, can self soothe, know basic commands, and am doggy door trained! I also appreciate good hygiene and love to shower! I often go into the shower and beg my foster mom to turn the water on.

There are no kids in the home but my owner's nephews visit often and I love them! I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly.

Meet Bubbs — A Sweet Senior Looking for His Happy Ending
At 9 years old, Bubbs suddenly found himself at the shelter after being left there with two other siblings. At a time in his life when he should be surrounded by comfort and love, he is instead spending his days waiting behind shelter walls.
Bubbs is an incredibly sweet, gentle, and friendly boy. ❤️ He has been tested with several male and female dogs and has shown a wonderfully calm and gentle demeanor.
Bubbs isn’t asking for much. He would be perfectly happy spending his senior years enjoying gentle walks, lying in the sunshine, relaxing in a comfy bed, and simply being close to his people and furry siblings. ☀️
We would LOVE to get Bubbs out of the shelter and into a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME where he can finally relax and enjoy the life he deserves.

8/27/2026Milo V is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Milo V! I am a handsome 6 year old flashy fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my family having a baby and moving into an apartment with no yard. I am described as friendly, active, and playful! I do not currently live with another dog but am said to be good around female dogs and unknown how I am with male dogs. I live with two cats and I am great with them! I will chase them but once I can tell they aren't playing anymore I will walk away. I currently live with 3 kids (ages 9 month to 4 years) and I am good with them, however I do not know my size and will accidentally knock over a smaller child if playing, but I mean no harm! I will bark at unfamiliar people in my home, especially if in my crate, but once I see my humans interacting with them I am fine.

8/27/2026Duke XI is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Duke XI! I am a handsome 8 year old fawn boy that is an owner surrender due to my family moving and not wanting me in the new home. I am described as friendly, active, protective, playful, affectionate, nervous, and obedient! It is important I have a dog and kid free home because I can be very stingy with my food and do not like people or dogs taking it away from me. I am house trained, crate trained, and sleeps anywhere near humans. I am not a fan of being left alone if the humans are away and will be sad. I am afraid of fireworks and my humans take precautions when they go off to help me know I'm safe and ok.

Hi! My name is Mia III! I am a 6 year old fawn girl that had a short stay in the shelter as an owner surrender due to a "new baby" in my old family. A volunteer saved me and now I am in a foster home and doing great! I am an "all energy" type of girl! My foster home expected a senior but I came packed with energy and alot of love to give! I love to be close to people or pets, go for car rides, snuggle, take part in any human activity (cooking, watching tv, playing computer, crafting, etc), have learned home routines well, and am enjoying being everyone's shadow! I enjoy being outside to sunbathe and most importantly, run! I love toys and the louder the better! I love water! Whether it's my entire face in the bowl or the hose outside, I will soak myself until I can't anymore! I am house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.

❤️ MEET ROSIE — 14 MONTHS OF WAITING… NOW SHE NEEDS HER FOREVER HOME ❤️
Rosie’s life has not been easy.
Her family left her at a shelter, and for 14 long months, Rosie waited behind those kennel doors. Day after day, people walked past her. More than a year went by, and nobody gave her a chance.

But foster care is only the beginning of her new life. Rosie still needs a family of her very own.
Rosie is 7 years old, about 50 pounds, fully vetted, spayed and a Shepherd mix.
