Her name is Blue. Her outlook? Let’s play!

This 1-year-old, 37-pound girl is happy, friendly, and still very much a puppy at heart. Blue brings enthusiasm to her outings and is looking for someone who will enjoy her playful spirit while helping her learn.

She has been showing interest in nearby dogs, even offering play bows to invite them into the fun! If you have a dog who might appreciate a playful companion, ask about a meet-and-greet.

Blue will benefit from continued leash training, along with regular exercise, playtime, and patient guidance. She’s a youngster with growing up to do—and plenty of opportunities to make learning together fun.

Tank would like to introduce himself. He even knows how to shake hands.

This handsome boy has been showing us his calm, polite side. He knows sit and shake, loves treats, and accepts them gently. Spending a little time together—and sharing a few biscuits—is a lovely way to get acquainted!

Tank has also responded favorably to nearby dogs during leash walks and was traveling with another dog when found. If you have a canine companion, ask shelter staff about an introduction.

Margaret knows a little German, Spanish, and English. We’re hoping her next favorite words are “Let’s go home.”

At approximately 6–10 years old and 59 pounds, Margaret has years of experience being part of a household. Her previous owner shared that she lived indoors with adults and children ages 2–8, got along with the cats she lived with, and usually slept in bed with her people.

Her former family also described a love of toys and some very specific snack favorites: frozen peanut butter treats, ice cubes, and blueberries! Those familiar pleasures could be a lovely way to help her settle into a new routine.
