Available Dogs

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.

Please note, if you are unable to see the pictures of our dogs, your browser may not be up to date.


Come with your dog to have a blast, meet some amazing nonprofits, get your Santa Paws and Grinch photo fix, and score some sweet handmade gifts at our Howl-a-Day Bazaar!

Grace

I'll be your best friend! I'll follow you everywhere.
I will be the most loyal companion you may ever encounter. I really love my humans. I enjoy riding in the car and will love adventures. I do feel a little anxious, at times, so would need help feeling confident in some situations. I am very sweet once I feel comfortable and am given time to warm up. I have met other dogs and do very well with them. I'd love a family that will spend time training with me so I can learn so many new things together!

Hobbs

Life is so exciting!

Hi! I'm Hobbs. I love to play. I get pretty excited. The cue -Calm- helps me. I've learned that one pretty well. I like to be close to my people and like to nap next to your chair, sometimes on your feet. I don't really care to be on furniture or sleep in your bed. I'll come up for some cuddles and love but my soft dog bed is better for sleeping. I'd love a house with a yard and I'd do best with older children.

Brody

Small dog, big character!

I am very friendly and love anyone who will cuddle with me. I am a very simple dog. I enjoy 15-30 minute walks but if you are down for an adventure, I'd love that. I love to be cuddled up with someone or under a blanket at home. I am crate trained and actually love to hang out in my crate. I love people watching while you run errands with me, making me the perfect purse dog. I will be your best friend taking naps in your sweatshirt. I love doing my happy dance. I will provide so much laughter and joy! I would do best in a home with no small children, 13 years and up would be best. I'd also do best in a home with no big dogs, just dogs my size.

Rocky

Cute cuddler looking for a calm home!

Looking for a cuddle buddy? Look no further! I am a sweet, snuggly companion who never wants to leave your side.  I love lounging in the sun, playing with my toys, but I am the happiest when I'm around my people.  I can get anxious when the doorbell rings and strangers come to my house. New people can be intimidating.  I'm working on my confidence and trying to make new friends. I am great on walks, especially when I wear my harness! Strangers in public don't bother me at all. I love going on walks and enjoy seeing what the world has to offer. I am a super loveable dude, who just needs someone who has the time to be with me and help me with my anxious behaviors.

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.

Like the fruit, not the candy

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.

Onyx

****ADOPTION PENDING!****

I’m a goofy, cuddly little ball of energy! And I wanna explore the world!

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 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.

Bandit

I'm looking for a partner in crime!

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.

My name is Sarah Jane but it should be GiGi, short for the goodest girl

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.

Rigatoni AKA Toni

Pasta-tively adorable!

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.

Mr. Winston

Big headed loyalty on four legs!

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.

Zara

I’m energetic and goofy, cuddly and kissy, and there is nothing I like more than being chased!

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!
