✨ LOOKING FOR FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT ✨
Bow Tie (Bow) | Male | 1 Year | Labrador Retriever | 73 lbs | Neutered | Vaccinated | Microchipped | Heartworm Negative | Good with Dogs, Dog-Savvy Cats & Older Kids (8+)

Meet Bow Tie — better known as Bow — a handsome, happy-go-lucky Labrador with a heart as big as his smile! At 73 lbs, this one-year-old boy is full of love, energy, and personality. He was sadly dumped at a veterinary clinic, but you’d never know it — Bow’s joy for life and people shines bright every single day.

Bow is the ultimate adventure buddy. He loves being outside, running, hiking, and playing fetch in the yard. He gets along great with other dogs and does well with dog-savvy cats (though his enthusiasm might be a bit much for shy kitties!). Like most young Labs, he’s still learning his leash manners and benefits from consistency — he just can’t wait to get moving and explore the world.

At home, Bow is a big sweetheart who thrives on love and attention. He’d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with his playful spirit and enjoy his goofy, affectionate energy. After a good day of activity, he’s more than happy to curl up beside you and soak up all the snuggles.

Bow is ready for his next chapter — one filled with adventures, laughter, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion to share life’s best moments, Bow is your guy!

Tokyo | Male | 4 Years | Mixed Breed | 36 lbs | Neutered | Vaccinated | Microchipped | Good with Dogs, Kids & Dog-Savvy Cats

Meet Tokyo — a calm, affectionate boy who wants nothing more than to be close to his person. At 4 years old and 36 lbs, Tokyo is the perfect mix of laid-back companion and loyal shadow, always happiest when he’s by your side.

Tokyo is housetrained, gentle, and incredibly sweet. He loves to cuddle, has a silly habit of plopping down wherever he can, and will absolutely melt your heart when his adorable overbite shows after giving kisses. His favorite toys are stuffed animals and a Kong filled with peanut butter or coconut oil — guaranteed to keep him entertained and happy.

While Tokyo is calm at home, he does have a strong attachment to his people and can struggle with being left alone. He’s looking for someone who works from home or has time to help him with his separation anxiety. With love, patience, and consistency, this boy will continue to grow more confident.

On walks, Tokyo is a strong puller and easily distracted by animals and people, but he’s a smart boy who will thrive with continued training and guidance. He has a prey drive for small animals outside, but he’s not aggressive with cats indoors — he may be curious at first, but with a dog-savvy cat, he quickly learns to leave them alone.

Tokyo’s gentle, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful match for someone looking for a true companion. With his loyalty, sweet quirks, and cuddle-loving personality, he’ll bring endless love to the right home.

🌸 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Stella | Female | 6 Years | Great Dane | 116 lbs | Spayed | Vaccinated | Microchipped | Good with Dogs & Kids

🐾 Meet Stella — the sweetest squirrel watcher you’ll ever meet! 🐿️💖

Beautiful Stella is a calm, gentle, and loving girl who has completely stolen our hearts. She’s housetrained, leash trained, and has perfect manners in the home — no crate needed!

Stella adores her daily routine: peaceful morning and afternoon walks through the park, lounging after breakfast, and joining her foster mom on car rides (she curls up like a pro traveler in the passenger seat 🚗💨). Evenings are for dinner, Netflix, and one last little stroll before bed. She sleeps soundly through the night and loves to snooze in late if you do!

She’s great with dogs and kids, and while she’s only seen cats from a distance, she’s shown no reaction. Stella is calm, confident, and easygoing — the only thing that might catch her attention is a loud skateboard zooming by.

Her quirks are irresistibly sweet: she loves to hold your hand (or paw!) and can spend ages watching squirrels in the trees, ready to give chase if one dares to move — but she stops instantly when asked. Her favorite toys are her stuffed chicken and lamb, which she proudly carries around the house.

Stella is the perfect balance of playful and serene, affectionate and independent. She’s truly the kind of dog who brings peace, warmth, and love into every room she walks into.

Meet Mooie — a one-year-old Terrier/Heeler mix with the perfect mix of sweetness, smarts, and loyalty. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, this beautiful girl hasn’t stopped showing her gratitude and love since the day she was saved.

Mooie is bright, affectionate, and full of charm. She loves spending time with her dog friends, playing, and going for walks, but she’s just as happy relaxing by your side. Her calm, gentle personality makes her easy to love, and her eager-to-please spirit means she quickly becomes part of the family.

True to her Terrier and Heeler roots, Mooie is intelligent and loyal — the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with her people and loves being involved in everyday life. She’s wonderful with dogs, cats, and kids, making her the perfect match for a family looking for a loving and well-rounded companion.

Mooie is ready to bring joy, companionship, and endless tail wags to a home willing to open their heart to her. Whether fostering or fostering-to-adopt, she’ll reward you with loyalty, gratitude, and so much love.

Foxy Roxy | Female | 1 Year | Chihuahua/Papillon Mix | 7.5 lbs | Spayed | Vaccinated | Microchipped | Good with Dogs, Cats & Older Kids (8+) | Heartworm Negative

👑 Queen Roxy is ready to rule your heart!

Meet Foxy Roxy — a Chihuahua and Papillon mix with all the grace, poise, and charm of true royalty. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, this little lady is ready to leave her past behind and reign over a home filled with love, comfort, and plenty of snuggles.

At first, Roxy can be a bit reserved, preferring the safety of gentle arms when the world feels a little too big. But once she feels secure, her confident and loving spirit shines through. She loves curling up on soft bedding, nibbling her favorite treats, and basking in all the affection her loyal humans have to offer.

Roxy is great with other dogs, peaceful with cats, and does beautifully with older, respectful children. She’s not one for chaos, but in a calm, loving environment, she absolutely blossoms.

Chihuahuas and Papillons are known for their loyal and affectionate nature, and Roxy is no exception. With her perfect mix of sweetness and sass, she’s ready to be your devoted little queen — bringing warmth, love, and elegance to your home every single day.

Bella | Female | 1 Year | Chocolate Lab Mix | 37 lbs | Spayed | Vaccinated | Microchipped | Good with Dogs + Cats & Kids

Meet Bella the sweetest, silliest chocolate Lab mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines bright! At just a year old, this gorgeous girl is everything you’d expect from a Lab puppy playful, social, smart, and completely devoted to her people.

Bella loves life to the fullest. She’s happiest chasing balls, chewing on her toys, and running around the yard. Her goofy side always keeps everyone laughing — whether she’s snatching up socks, sneaking off with Barbies, or staring in confusion when she loses track of her ball mid-fetch. She’s a true character who never fails to make her people smile.

When it’s time to settle down, Bella is affectionate and gentle, often giving sweet hugs or curling up close for snuggles. She loves joining family activities, car rides, and hanging out wherever the action is. She’s great with kids and friendly with other dogs — the more playmates, the better!

She’s housetrained, crate-trained, and doing great on leash (though she’s still learning not to pull when she’s excited). Like any young Lab, Bella thrives on activity and attention, so an active home with a yard or another playful dog would be a dream come true for her.

Playful, loving, and full of personality — Bella is everything that makes Labs so special. She’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless cuddles to the lucky family who calls her their own.
