Meet Tesla, a gentle, mature lady who is ready to spend her golden years in comfort and love. Tesla came to us through animal control, so we don’t know much about her past—just that she once had a name and a home. What we do know is that she has one of the sweetest temperaments you’ll ever meet.

Tesla is estimated to be at least 8 years old, and possibly older—a true senior sweetheart. She came in with a small dog, so we know she has experience sharing her space with other dogs and should do well with calm, respectful companions. She does show signs of arthritis, so she would be happiest in a lower-energy, relaxed household where she won’t have to navigate a lot of stairs or keep up with young, bouncy pups.

This lovely girl isn’t looking for much—just a soft bed, a gentle routine, and someone to love her. If you have room in your heart and home for a dog who will repay kindness with quiet devotion, Tesla is waiting for you.

She’s ready to enjoy her golden years with the dignity, comfort, and companionship she deserves. 💛

Meet Sunnie – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Fresh Start ☀️🐾

Sunnie is an approximately 2-year-old Australian Shepherd who came to us after struggling to coexist safely with the family chickens. While farm life wasn’t quite the right fit for him, we’ve already seen so many glimpses of the wonderful dog he can be with the right home.

Here at the shelter, Sunnie is absolutely terrified. This environment is loud, unfamiliar, and overwhelming for him. But even through that fear, he shows us how sweet and gentle he truly is. He’s just now beginning to warm up to staff members—leaning in for soft petting, taking treats carefully, and showing us little pieces of his personality. He still has a long way to go, but his progress gives us so much hope.

Sunnie was previously an outdoor dog, and he’s definitely under-socialized. Everyday sights and sounds—doors closing, voices, kennels, even toys—are all brand-new to him. He’ll need a patient adopter who understands that he’s starting at “square one.” A quieter home, a stable routine, and someone willing to let him move at his own pace will make all the difference.

With time, patience, effort, and a whole lot of love, Sunnie has the potential to blossom into a loyal, trusting, and deeply devoted companion. He just needs someone who believes in him.

If you’re looking for a project dog with a heart of gold, Sunnie might be the boy who changes your life—and whose life you can change right back. 💛

🌻🐾 Good grief… look who’s ready for adoption! 🐾🌻

Introducing Momma Charleigh and her Peanuts gang!
This adorable little family is eady to find their forever homes!

💙 The boys: Woodstock, Pig Pen, Schroder, Franklin, Linus, and Rerun
💖 The girls: Peppermint Patty, Sally, and Marcie

These pups are about 7 weeks old now and have their first vaccines on board. Each one has their own personality starting to shine through — playful, snuggly, and full of that puppy mischief that makes life a little brighter.

As for what kind of pups they are… well, even Snoopy couldn’t solve that mystery! 🕵️‍♂️ Momma Charleigh herself is a bit of an enigma — short and long-bodied with some delightfully goofy ears, and weighing in around 30lbs. She was abandoned and found refuge under a kind Samaritan's porch, where she safely brought her babies into the world. 💛

Now, this sweet, gentle mom and her nine precious pups are ready to start the next chapter — finding loving homes of their very own.

So if you’ve been dreaming of adding a little “Peanuts” charm to your family, now’s the time to come visit! These happy, healthy little pups won’t be waiting long. 🐶💫

Claws and Paws could really use the communities help at the moment. We are running a tad low on DRY cat and dog food. We couldn't do what we do without all of your amazing support!!!

Cocoa is a 9-month-old Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who came to us as a stray after being found on a back road with her presumed sister. While we don’t know much about her past, Cocoa has quickly shown us what a sweet and affectionate girl she is. She loves people and soaks up attention, always eager for pets, belly rubs, or just being near you. True to her breed mix, Cocoa is full of energy and enthusiasm—she practically vibrates with excitement when it’s time to play or go for a walk. She will do best in an active home that can keep her busy with exercise, training, and adventures. At 28 lbs, she’s the perfect medium size for tagging along on hikes, car rides, or simply curling up at the end of the day. Cocoa has so much love to give and is ready to find a forever family who will appreciate her happy spirit and give her the guidance she needs to grow into an amazing lifelong companion.
