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.

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.

****AN ANONYMOUS DONOR HAS PAID $150 TOWARDS PERCY'S ADOPTION FEE!!**** 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.

I am a loving loyal companion. I love to be active and I really enjoy anything outdoors. Take me on adventures and I'd be so happy! I will love my humans with all my heart. I am a jumper and I can clear smaller fences. I would need a home with a 6 ft fence or higher. I could also do well in an apartment or townhome as long as I get walks & outdoor fun regularly. I may do best as an only dog. No cats please.

I have never met a dog or person I don't like! I love lounging in the sun or engaging in high energy play. I am incredibly smart and I picked up 'sit' in just one day. I'd love a family that wants to spend lots of time with me and will continue to train with me. If you're looking for a playful, cuddly and highly intelligent companion, I'm your guy!!

I embody my breed characteristics with my big personality. I will make you laugh with my deer like prance and spontaneous dancing and hopping when I'm happy. I will always let you know what's on my mind and I have a great sense of time. I know when it's time for breakfast and dinner but I enjoy a slow morning and I will stay quiet in my crate for an hour before breakfast. I need to be burrowed under a blanket or in your sweatshirt a lot of the day. I am a fearless little guy. I do not see my size. I am athletic and robust, so I run fast and rarely get hurt. I am loving, intelligent, charismatic, easy going, but anxious around large dogs and small children.

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.

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 love running behind my people all day long at home! I love going to dog parks and playing with other dogs. Fresh cut grass and digging gives me the zoomies! I enjoy greeting people, but my excitement frequently gets the best of me, and I can't help but jump up to say hello. I am working on my speaking skills but sometimes I have to let you or the dog walking by know what's on my mind. I am a quick learner, though, especially when treats are involved. Sit? Stay? Heel? Come? Easy peasy! Treats are my weakness, and I'd do just about anything for a tasty reward.

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 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.

Oh, I love you already! Let's play! My name is Hobbs. I love to play and run. I'm very fast! I'm great at zoomies! I have a lot of energy. I do enjoy naps and I sleep through the night just fine. I like to lean against you when we sit together. Belly rubs and pets are wonderful. I like praise even more than treats but I wouldn't mind having a lot of both.

My current humans call me their house hippo because I am so big, but with my size comes an even greater ability to give love and snuggles. Some of my favorite things are getting under the covers with my human (or making her tuck me in a cozy blanket,) chasing after balls at the dog park every morning, and playing with my doggo siblings. I'm a great girl!

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 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!

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!
