Doopey’s journey started as a lost puppy searching for a home. When he found one, he spent two happy years growing into the big, handsome 83-pound Lab mix he is today. But life can be unpredictable, and through no fault of his own, Doopey’s family had to say goodbye.

Coming back to the shelter was confusing and overwhelming for him. He didn’t understand why he was back here. We gave him the chance to trust, and understand us, and we saw the real Doopey; a playful, affectionate, lovable Lab who just wants to be part of a family again. He’s great with other dogs, adores playing fetch, and soaks up every bit of attention he can get. As an added plus, he’s already house-trained and kennel-trained!

Doopey isn’t meant for a shelter, he’s meant for a home, with a person or family who will love him forever. Could that be you? Come meet him and see why this big-hearted boy deserves a second chance. 💙

🌟 Senior Spotlight 🌟

Meet Dottie, a 10-year-old Lab with a heart of gold and a tail that never stops wagging! 💛🐾 She adores people and greets everyone like they’re her new best friend. She’s well-mannered, house-trained, and walks like a dream on a leash!

As she has aged, Dottie has decided she does not like the company of other dogs as much as she used to, and would prefer to spend her golden years as a solo dog in her home, but, hey, more love, snuggles, and treats just for her!

Dottie has so much love left to give and is just waiting for the right person to come along and give her the cozy, happy retirement she deserves. Could that be you? Come meet her and see for yourself why senior dogs are simply the best. ❤️

Meet Boomer, an 8-year-old Bluetick Coonhound who embodies all the best traits of his breed! Blueticks are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and love of adventure-and let's not forget their distinctive "hound song." True to his heritage, Boomer has plenty to say and isn't shy about sharing his thoughts! So, if you're lonely and need someone to talk to, Boomer is your guy!

This smart boy has mastered his basic commands, including sit, lie down, shake, stay, and come here. Boomer enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives in a friendly environment. He's a playful spirit who loves toys and swimming. Boomer would also thrive in a home without kids, or with older kids who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs and give them space when needed.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, water-adoring companion with a hound's charm and smarts, Boomer is ready to join your pack!

❤️From Kennels to Cuddles ❤️

Sweet little Bea wasn't at the shelter long before her furever family found her and swept her up! Needless to say, she seems pretty happy and very loved!

This is exactly what we hope all animals adopted from us get to experience and have!

We love seeing these updates, and would love to see more from our adopters!!

Our adorable little Annabelle has found her forever home!

This sweet pup spent her early days in a loving foster home, growing big and strong until she was ready to find a family of her own. And now, the wait is over—Annabelle is heading home!

Not only does she have a wonderful new family, but she also has a tiny but mighty best friend—a Chihuahua sibling to show her the ropes! We can already picture the zoomies, snuggles, and endless fun these two will have together.

A huge thank you to Annabelle’s foster family for giving her the best start in life, and to her adopters for opening their hearts to this sweet girl. Wishing Annabelle a lifetime of love, treats, and happy adventures!

3/27/25 Edit to Update: ISAEBLLA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!

Tomorrow, Isabella will have spent 365 days in a shelter kennel. One full year.

One year of sleeping on a cot instead of a couch.
One year of watching families walk past her, hoping—just once—someone would stop.
One year of seeing other dogs leave while she stays behind.

We don’t want tomorrow to come with Isabella still at the shelter. We don’t want to mark this heartbreaking milestone. No dog should have to wait this long for love. We have today, one last chance to change her story.

Why adopt Isabella? Because she will love you like no other. She will make you feel like the most important person in the world, because to her, you will be. She will meet you with bright eyes and a wagging tail every single day, because you’ll be the person she’s been waiting for all along.

Please, let today be the day her story changes. 💔🐾

🐾 Bart is Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾

For the 2nd part of Foster Friday, meet Bart, a 6-year-old German Shepherd mix who has been patiently waiting for someone to see just how special he is. ❤️ Brought in as a lost dog, he spent three long months in the shelter, often overlooked simply because he did what so many dogs do—barking at visitors, hoping someone would finally notice him and take him home.

To give him a well-deserved break, Bart moved to a foster home, and it didn’t take long for him to show what an amazing dog he truly is! 🏡✨

🐶 Dog social? Absolutely—he LOVES other dogs!
🚸 Great with kids? Yep, he’s been wonderful! He even runs to the TV when he hears a baby crying!
🎓 Smart & eager to learn? He enjoys tricks and picking up new skills!
💕 Cuddle bug? Oh, 100%—he’ll gently try to climb into your lap!
🐞 Bug watcher? You bet—he finds them fascinating on walks!
🏃‍♂️ Active when you’re active, chill when you’re chill—he’s the perfect balance!

His foster mom describes him as “the perfect dog, low maintenance and fun to have around.” Bart is ready to be someone’s best friend, adventure buddy, and snuggle partner. Could that be you?

Since he’s in foster care, meeting Bart is by appointment—just reach out to set up a time to meet him and potentially adopt! 🐶💙

Update: ADOPTED!!🎉🎉

This Foster Friday, we want to introduce you to Annabelle! She is a 16wk Australian Cattle Dog puppy ready to be adopted into her furever home!

In her foster home, she has been an absolute delight, romping around with her dog friends, snuggling up after a good play session, and proving she’s one smart pup by doing great with both housetraining and kennel training.

She has also spent time around kids and has done wonderfully! Annabelle is looking for a home where she can continue to learn, play, and be her affectionate, happy self.

Since she’s in foster care, meeting Annabelle is by appointment—just reach out to set up a time to meet her and potentially adopt! 🐶💙

Dearest Human Companions,

The shelter is brimming with felines; distinguished, charming, and absurdly adoptable felines. Yet, they remain here, waiting. Waiting for a human of fine taste and impeccable judgment to recognize their greatness.

I, Frank, have taken it upon myself to spread the word. These cats are not mere ordinary creatures. No, they are exquisite beings; soft, elegant, and equipped with purring mechanisms designed to soothe the soul. Some enjoy chasing the red dot of mystery. Others prefer the art of lap-warming. A select few engage in the noble tradition of biscuiteering.

And yet… they wait. “Soon,” I tell them. “Soon, you shall be chosen.” But alas, time drags on. Their fluffy hopes rest in the hands of you, dear humans.

Come forth. Meet these whiskered wonders. Allow yourself to be enchanted. Take one home, and bask in the glory of your excellent life choices.

Sincerely,
Frank, Supreme Overseer of Naps and Advocate for Feline Adoptions

Whether it’s playing with other dogs, meeting new people, learning new tricks, or getting endless pets, Baymax is always up for fun.

Loki is a big, lovable American Bulldog mix with an even bigger personality! This playful goofball is absolutely obsessed with toys! He’ll empty the entire toy basket and play with every single toy. 🎾🧸

Loki is also a total cuddlebug! After he’s done playing, he’s happiest curling up next to his favorite people for some snuggles and love. Just look at that face! 💕

As a young pup about 1.5yrs old, he’s still learning his manners, but with a little guidance, he’ll be an absolute star. He has an absolute love for treats, and takes them super gently, making training easier. Loki has perfected the art of looking heartbreakingly sad just to score extra treats and attention. (Spoiler: it works. Every. Single. Time.) 🥹

If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, and slightly dramatic best friend, Loki is your guy! Come meet him and see if you can resist those big, soulful eyes (trust us, you can’t).
