Thank you for your interest in our available dogs. We like to get to know the dogs in our care prior to posting them for adoption so if you do not see the dog you are looking for, feel free to put an interest form in telling us what you are looking for in a forever friend. We love to "match-make" and we may have a dog that is not yet posted that is perfect for you. Once we have an interest form from you, one of our staff will contact you (in 7 - 10 days) to discuss your needs in detail as well as the dog(s) you are interested in.

JOIN ABRT FOR OUR 11th ANNUAL DOGGIE DASH 5k, SAT JUNE 22nd
I am the most loyal doggo you will ever meet. If you don't want a shadow following you around in the shape of me, I'm not the dog for you. My favorite thing to do is play fetch outside. My humans say that I would literally collapse from exhaustion before I'd quit playing ball. I love to go for walks, get pets, and cuddle whenever possible. I do bark sometimes, but how else would I look out for you? I really am a lover, and just want to be the best boy I can be. A home with older children would be best.

I am a very low maintenance kind of dog. I'm very quiet and quite calm. I love being with my humans, especially during thunder and fireworks because it scares me. Otherwise, I'm the king of relaxation! I do well with children, other dogs and even cats!

I am a sweet, shy girl and will need alot of confidence building. I'm very smart, treat motivated and love to learn. I'd do well in a home with another social dog so I can learn from him or her. I'd prefer a home with no small children.

I am a very loving girl! I can be a bit unsure of new people at first but once I get to know them, I love them. I like to be petted and give kisses. I'm a velcro pittie girl to my family. I have lots of energy and want to play, play, play! I also love adventures. Sometimes I am reactive on leash but I do very well off leash with other dogs. I love children!

Gender: Female
Age: 4 years

I need slow introductions to new people and I bark initially upon meeting, but after getting to know someone, I am so friendly and sweet. I like my crate and I enjoy chewing on bones and sticks. I also like taking socks to my crate when nobody is looking. I'm a big puppy and scared of new situations and do best with a dog friend to help me feel safe. I love dogs but I can, occassionally, be selective. I want to play with cats but they don't understand my play bows. I am a sweet girl who just needs time, patience and training to be all that I can be!

I am smart, eager to please, with the best smile and the softest low shed coat. I am happy to chill or play; really whatever you want to do I will follow your lead because my goal is to just be around my people. My favorite things to do are to go for walks, ride in the car, fine dining, and play fetch or tug. I am a gold medalist in the cuddle department. I am a tank, so carrying around all this muscle makes me medium to low energy so I prefer multiple short walks a day.

Hello! My name is Peanut and I would love to be your new best pal! I am vision impaired, but I don't let it slow me down! My foster mom thinks I see motion but not stationary or dark objects. I'm super smart and know my way around the house, yard, and in and out of my kennel. I love to run and play, and I am fearless. I also love going on adventures and making human and dog friends.

I am a sweet, gentle, soft, fluffy pup and I'm ready for an adventure! I get a little nervous meeting new people, but once I trust you, I expect butt scratches right away- and if you stop scratching me, I'll remind you to please continue. I like my personal space, but I equally love hugs and kisses at the right time too. I love my kennel, I use it for naps and sometimes to sleep at night, or just to feel safe. I have a very silly personality and sometimes when I shake my head my tongue flops out since I'm missing a tooth- it's a cool trick of mine. I love sleeping and playing with my two other dog siblings all day. I also have super cool eyes, but they just need some eyedrops everyday so that I can see better, but I'll just lay here while you put them in for me! I love being outside, especially with a few inches of snow on my back in a little dirt bed I made myself. Hiking, camping, rock climbing- lets go! I'm always looking for a reason to get on my harness and get out of the house to explore and I love a car ride! Dog parks are some of my favorite places to be and I love swimming in creeks too.

I'm an energetic guy who knows how to have fun! I love to play and goof around, but I'm also a fan of cuddling on the couch. I'm definitely a lap dog! My foster mom says I'm a great communicator and know how to express myself. Don't worry, I'm not much of a barker. I'm soft spoken and usually huff and puff instead.

I didn't have the best start to live, but I'm ready to learn how to be a dog! I do not understand how to walk on a leash and I freeze when you try and pick me up. I am very nervous as I learn and do not like to be touched. But still, I am a good dog, I just need patience.

I'm a happy, bouncy girl who loves meeting new people. Sometimes I get so excited that I jump and get mouthy, but I'm working on keeping my paws on the ground and sitting politely for pets. I am potty trained and never make a mess in my kennel. I love treats and take them extremely gently. I am just starting to learn some basic obedience cues but I am very smart and learning quickly.

Sarah Jane is an extremely docile doggo with her hoomans and she is ridiculously sweet and loving. She will play when initiated but otherwise, she is pretty low key. Recently it was discovered that Sarah loves to dribble a soccer ball around the yard. She also loves to go hiking and she has done a little paddle boarding with her current hooman.

I'm a sweet boy! I do prefer slower introductions, at first, when meeting new people. Once I warm up though, I love to cuddle! I also would love if you threw me a toy. It's one of my favorite things! I can spend hours entertaining myself with throwing my own toys up in the air. That's a little bit of my goofy side. I'd do best in a home with older children because I have lots of energy and I can be a bit jumpy. I am fine with other dogs, but may do best with dogs that match my high energy.

I always know what I want and I will tell you ALL about it! I love to learn new things and play fetch! I am looking for a family that loves to hike and train! I have had some agility dog training and know my basic commands very well! I do not like new people in my home (I am working on it but i just get protective of my family's space) but do really well at social events and the dog park. I may not seek out other people's attention, but I will always seek yours out! I love following my people around and being the center of attention. I do well being left at home while your at work or running errands as long as you make sure I get all your attention once you get back!

Hello! I'm a sweet and shy boy who wants a calm household. I would not do well living in an apartment/condo/townhome, but I will keep your yard free from critters. I play nicely with other dogs, and don't let my age fool you...I still have plenty of pep in my step! I can't wait to love you!
