Hello, future family! I’m Chanel, a cheerful one-year-old pup whose tail is always on the go! I cherish my humans and delight in playing with them, particularly when it involves a ball for some fetching excitement.You’ll often catch me by my kiddie pool, basking in the sun for that perfect tan, or prodding you to play tug of war.

I adore play dates with other dogs! I’m searching for a family with a large backyard and energy to match mine, as I flourish with lots of activities. Treats are my soft spot, and I’ve mastered the basics - commands like sit, stay, and come are easy for me. I do get a bit excited and pull on the leash during walks, but I’m improving.

Hi, I’m Gus! I’m a 1.5-year-old Lab Mix who loves playing with all kinds of dogs. My favorite activity when I’m with my canine pals is a spirited game of tug-of-war. For solo fun, I like to throw my wubba or rope into the air and sn**ch it up.
Adventure walks are my favorite! Whether we’re sniffing through trails or exploring the neighborhood, I get super excited and wiggle from head to toe. I’m also a great car rider—I hop right in and settle down nicely.
I have a short, shiny coat that sheds very little, especially compared to my foster siblings who shed a lot.. I love chewing on Benebones and snuggling on the couch. When it is time to settle down for the day, I’ll squeeze into the perfect spot next to you, no matter how small. At bedtime, I love to snuggle in the bed and I’m always happy to share your pillow.
I can be a bit shy around new people and need some time to warm up to strangers. But once I get to know you, I’m playful, quirky, cuddly, and full of playful energy. I can get a bit skittish if something spooks me, but with a little patience, I come around.
Understanding my occasional shyness and seeking a loving, playful companion, I might just be the perfect new member for your family!

Must Knows:
•Gus, 1.5 year old, male
•Dog friendly - required to have a buddy
•Cat friendly
•Kid friendly, 8+

Meet Griffin: The Sweet Soul with a Heart of Gold

Griffin is a gentle and grateful companion who finds joy in the simple things. With his soulful eyes that radiate love and old-soul wisdom, he’s a friend to everyone he meets—both dogs and humans alike. Griffin thrives in the company of other dogs, happily sharing his toys and making playtime a delight. Whether it’s watching birds and squirrels from the porch or snuggling up for some quality time, Griffin’s easygoing nature makes him the perfect homebody.

While city life may be a bit overwhelming for Griffin, his love for the quieter side of life shines through. He’s happiest in a calm environment where he can enjoy his favorite pastimes: lounging, snuggling, and carrying around his beloved octopus toy. Griffin’s love for food and treats is boundless, but it’s his love for human companionship that truly stands out. Always by your side, Griffin is ready to fill your life with warmth, affection, and endless loyalty.

I’m Fergie, a fantastic companion with a joyful spirit. I’m dog-friendly and love playdates, always greeting my canine friends with a quick hello before jumping into playtime. Whether I’m hanging out with a pack or spending time solo, I thrive. I have a real passion for retrieving and can catch tennis balls and frisbees mid-air like a pro. On hikes, I’m great on the leash, enjoying mountain trails or local paths, and I’m always polite when passing others. I know commands like walk, sit, down, and up-up for car rides—one of my favorite things to do. I also love my bones and tend to hoard tennis balls. I’m a pleasure to be around, always picking up on your mood and adjusting my energy to match. I’ll be a loyal and intuitive addition to your family, bringing joy and comfort wherever we go together.

It’s HOT. We want to pull these three from their outdoor living situation as soon as possible but we need fosters in order to help them. Each dog is seeking their own foster home. We will pay for their approved veterinary care once in a foster home.

Coco and Daisy (females) are 4 while Hershey (male) is 5. The girls are described as friendly and easy going while Hershey is a bit more timid.

Chanel, a cheerful one-year-old gal with a tail that’s always in motion! Though I may start off a bit reserved, I warm up quickly, especially if there is a ball involved for some fetching fun! You’ll often find me lounging by my kiddie pool, soaking up the sun for that perfect tan, or eagerly nudging you to join in a game of tug of war.

At the dog park, I can’t contain my excitement and may bark enthusiastically at my newfound pals. I’m on the lookout for a family with a spacious backyard and a matching energy level, as I thrive on plenty of activity.

House training? Check! I will let you know when nature calls and it’s time for a quick outdoor jaunt. As I drift off to sleep in my crate, I dream of endless ball chasing adventures. Could your home be the perfect fit for a spirited pup like me?
