Meet Vince – Your Adventure Buddy!

Hi there, I’m Vince! I’m a young, happy-go-lucky pup looking for my furever home. I’m sweet, social, and full of energy, always ready for fun and adventure!

Since I’m still learning my canine manners, I’ll need a family who can help guide me to be the best pup I can be. I’m an active dog who loves to play, so if you’re looking for a running buddy or an adventure partner, I’m your guy!

I may be open to living with other animals with a proper introduction, and since I can still be puppy-like with my jumping and mouthing, I ask that any kids in the home be 8 or older.

If you’re searching for a fun, loving, and handsome companion, come meet me—I’d love to be your new best friend! 🐾💙

Meet Sam – Your Spunky Sidekick!

Hiya! I’m Sam, a clever and spirited little beagle mix searching for my furever home. I came to the shelter as a stray, and now I’m ready to find a family who will love me for all my quirks!

I’m looking for a home with dog-savvy adults who understand that I can be a bit sensitive about handling—so I ask that any children in the home be 15 or older. I’m also selective with my dog friends, but with a proper introduction, I might enjoy having a canine companion. As for cats? I haven’t met one yet, but I’m open to trying with a slow and patient introduction.

I may be small, but I have a big personality and plenty of smarts and s***k to keep you entertained. If you think we’d be a great match, come down to the shelter and let’s meet! 🐾💙

Meet Chrissy – Sweet, Sassy, and Ready for Her Forever Home! 🏠

Hello, I’m Chrissy! I arrived at the shelter as a stray, and while I was a bit nervous at first, I’ve really blossomed now that I feel safe and loved (treats definitely help!).

I’m a lively and loving pup who sometimes gets a little too excited when I’m the center of attention—so I could use some guidance on refining my doggie manners. Because of my spirited nature, I’d do best in a home with children aged 3 and older who can enjoy my energy but also understand my boundaries.

As for other pets, I’m open to the possibility of living with another dog or a cat, but a proper introduction will be key to ensuring we all get along.

With my sweet and sassy personality, I promise to bring a lot of joy, companionship, and laughs to your life. If you’re ready for a cutie pie like me to join your family, let’s meet soon—I can’t wait!

Meet Blue – Your New Best Friend! 🐾

Hi there, I’m Blue! I was surrendered to the shelter after being shuffled from two different homes due to changes in family dynamics, but I know my true furever home is out there waiting for me! I’m a social butterfly who absolutely loves being around people and soaking up all the TLC and attention I can get. 🫶👩‍❤️‍👨

I’ve been around kids, dogs, and even cats, so I have the potential to fit into many different homes! Despite my small stature, I have a big personality—and a big voice to match! I like to express myself with sound, but it’s just my way of saying I’m excited about life. 🐱🐶

I have lots of energy and love to play, making me the perfect pup to brighten your day with my silly antics and affectionate nature. I promise, if you give me a chance, I’ll fill your home with love, laughter, and companionship like no other.

Think we’re a perfect match? Come meet me today! 🐾💙

Meet Lewis – A Resilient and Loving Companion!

When I first arrived at the shelter, I was skinny and worn down, but thanks to some much-needed care, I’m now ready to find my forever home! I’m a super sweet pup who absolutely adores people and just wants to be loved.

I’ve lived with other dogs before and enjoyed their company, so I may do well with a canine companion. I don’t have any known experience with cats, but with a proper introduction, I might be open to the idea. While in foster care, my friends at the shelter learned that I’m both crate-trained and housebroken—pretty impressive, right?

Though I have a heart full of love, I do ask that any children in my home be 13 and older, as I don’t always like sharing my things and can be sensitive to handling. But after everything I’ve been through, can you really blame me?

If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who’s overcome the odds and is ready for a fresh start, come meet me today! I just might be the perfect fit for your home. 🐾❤️

💔 Meet Kroger 💔

It’s $5 Friday, and today we’re introducing you to Kroger—a senior boy who arrived at our shelter as a stray, terrified of everything. It took nearly an entire day of patience and coaxing just to get him out of his kennel. When he finally stepped out, his tail remained tucked, and his body trembled with fear. 😞

Kroger’s past hasn’t been kind to him, and sadly, his struggles don’t end with his fear. As a senior, he’s facing the hardships that come with age:
🔹 Numerous growths covering his body
🔹 Hair loss in various spots
🔹 Painful, neglected teeth
🔹 Dirty, infected ears
🔹 Arthritis making every step a little harder

Despite everything, Kroger is now on his way to comfort. With time, love, and the right care, we know he can heal—physically and emotionally. ❤️

Dogs like Kroger only get these second chances because of generous community support. This $5 Friday, we’re asking you to donate to help him and other animals like him get the medical care, rehabilitation, and love they need.

🐾 Donate today via the link in this post or on Venmo .
🏡 We also urgently need experienced fosters to help scared, shut-down dogs like Kroger learn to trust again.

Let’s show Kroger that his hardest days are behind him. 💕🐾

Meet Elise – A Sweetheart Ready for Her Forever Home!

Hello, I’m Elise! I came to the shelter as a stray, and now I’m ready to find my furever family. I’m a loving pup with a heart of gold who absolutely adores affection and TLC from people.

I’m pretty laidback and enjoy a good mix of leisurely strolls and cozy couch time. While I’m open to living with children and even cats (with proper introductions), I prefer to be the only dog in the home—I like to soak up all the love and attention myself!

Meet Jitter! 🐾

Looking for a medium-sized pup with a BIG personality? Jitter is your guy! This lively and expressive pup is searching for his furever home where he can thrive as the active, playful companion he was born to be.

Jitter has a lot to say, so he might not be the best fit for apartment living—but if you love a chatty canine who communicates his feelings, he's your perfect match. With boundless energy and a sharp mind, Jitter would thrive in a home that can keep him both physically and mentally enriched.

When it comes to other pets, Jitter can be a bit forward with dogs, but he might do well with the right canine companion and proper introductions. He’s not sure how he feels about cats yet, but he’s open to trying with careful guidance.

If you’re ready for an active, fun-loving, and vocal sidekick, Jitter is waiting to meet you! Come on down and see if he’s your paw-fect match! 🐕

Meet Gabe – A Gentle Soul Ready for Love

Hi, I’m Gabe! I’m a sweet and sensitive pup looking for a loving home where I can finally feel safe. When I first arrived at the shelter, I was scared and recovering from some injuries, but thanks to my friends here, I’ve healed up and am ready to start my next chapter. 🐾

New situations can still make me nervous, so I’d do best in a patient and understanding home. Because of my timid nature, any children in the household should be 15+ and dog-savvy. I may also be open to living with another dog, as long as we have a proper introduction.

If you have the kindness and patience to help me continue building my confidence, I’d love to meet you. Stop by the shelter and ask about me—I might just be the perfect fit for your home!
