Meet adoptable Betty! This 7-month-old, 13-lb Terrier mix is an affectionate little snuggle bug. Betty was part of an accidental litter of puppies and was recently surrendered into our care. She hasn't spent much time around new people, but with patience and love from her foster, she’s already starting to come out of her shell.⁠
⁠
Betty can be slow to warm up, but once she feels safe, her spunky personality starts to emerge. This little girl is incredibly playful and loves a good game of fetch. When she's not romping around with toys, she can often be found gazing out the window or snuggled up next to her favorite people. ⁠
⁠
Betty is working hard on potty-training and her other basics, and making great strides! She will thrive with patient, loving adopters who will provide reassurance and help build her confidence as she grows up. If you're looking to enjoy the rewards and challenges of helping a sweet, shy puppy grow into a confident dog, Betty could be your perfect match!⁠

Meet adoptable Skippy! This 2-year-old, 30-lb French Bulldog mix is happy, energetic, and instantly lovable. We rescued Skippy from an overcrowded shelter after he was found abandoned on the streets nearby. He eagerly hopped into his finder’s car and she drove him to safety. Skippy knows several basic commands like "sit" and "paw," so we believe he once lived in a home. Sadly, it is not uncommon for to dump their dogs outside of shelters to avoid paying the surrender fee. ⁠
⁠
Now, Skippy is safely in our care and ready to find his forever home. He's is a social butterfly who loves everyone he meets! He’s affectionate, upbeat, and full of cheerful, wiggly energy. This fun-loving guy enjoys walks, greeting new friends, and showing off his charming personality. ⁠
⁠
Skippy will do best with adopters looking for an affectionate, people-oriented dog who’s always ready for fun. If you’re looking for a joyful little sidekick with endless enthusiasm, Skippy might be your boy!⁠

Meet adoptable Joyce! This 1-year-old, 13-lb Mixed Breed girl is gentle, tenderhearted, and as sweet as they come. Joyce was rescued from an overcrowded shelter, and despite all she’s been through, she’s eager to trust and ready for a new beginning with a loving family.⁠
⁠
This sensitive gal can be a little nervous in new environments but, with reassurance from her people, she settles in fast. Joyce enjoys quiet walks, snuggles, and being close to her friends. While she does well on leash, she can still be startled by loud noises and appreciates a peaceful space where she feels safe.⁠ However, gets along well with other dogs and even kids!⁠
⁠
Joyce is steadily building her confidence and would benefit from patient adopters who can offer consistency, kindness, and lots of love as she fully comes into her own. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who just needs a little extra reassurance, Joyce may be your perfect match.⁠

Meet adoptable Jada! This 5-year-old, 55-lb Shepherd/Husky mix is a sweet, playful, and affectionate girl who loves people and other dogs. Jada was rescued from an overcrowded shelter nearly two years ago and has been in our care ever since. She enjoys cuddle time with her humans, going for walks, and socializing with other dogs. She has done well in playgroup at our center, showing herself to be a gentle and dainty playmate—even with the smallest pups.⁠
⁠
Jada is an extremely smart gal and is always up for a hike or other enrichment activity. After attending a training program with LAK9s, her trainer fell in love with her, so she became Jada's foster mom. We believe Jada will mean the world to her future adopter, and she can’t wait to find her forever person! She can be a bit nervous in new situations, but with patience and encouragement, she warms up quickly and reveals her friendly, loving personality. ⁠
⁠
Jada will thrive with a confident handler who can guide her when she feels nervous and reinforce positive behaviors. She would do well in a home with another friendly dog to help build her confidence and provide companionship. If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and loyal pup to join your family, Jada is ready to steal your heart!⁠

Meet adoptable Rose! This 5-year-old, 47-lb, mixed-breed gal has the kindest soul and the most loving eyes. Rose’s owner surrendered her to the shelter out of love, not neglect. They had fallen into poor health and could no longer care for themselves, let alone their beloved companion. By the time Rose made her way into our care, her skin had deteriorated, leaving her covered in painful crust and lesions. ⁠
⁠
Now, Rose is safe with our rescue, and she's looking and feeling so much healthier! Despite everything she’s been through, she’s an absolute angel—gentle, trusting, and full of quiet sweetness. She loves to be by your side, soaking up pets and gazing lovingly into your soul. ⁠
⁠
Rose is a low-energy girl and we’re seeing more of her bubbly joy every day. She’s done well coexisting with other dogs and walks beautifully on leash. She would do well in a calm, loving home where she can get plenty of love and comfort. If you’re looking for a deeply soulful companion who will show you unconditional adoration, Rose is waiting to meet you.⁠

Meet adoptable Phillip! This 1-year-old, 51-lb, mixed-breed pup is an energetic sweetheart. Phillip came to us as a stray.
