Huck & Dolly
As always, we love shelter friendships! Adoptable pups Huck & Dolly are out enjoying this gorgeous day together🥰
Adoptable boy Jonathan is so happy to play fetch! (And then so happy to play destroy the tennis ball) 😏
Our newest arrivals had never been on a leash before coming to us. After a day off settling in, our volunteers got them out for their first leash walks together!
We're not expecting skill yet - step one is to get them to associate the leash with something fun! So far, that has been a success🤪
Dolly went to sniff out a family to call her own - might she find you?
What we've come to learn about our girl Elia: she's not necessarily "dog aggressive" as some may label, but instead has what we like to call "Shelter Reactivity". The environment keeps her mind at an over-stimulated level, meaning she might be more barky & reactive while in her kennel or at a fence line. This is common in our higher-energy, high-drive, intelligent/working type breeds, and is all the more reason to get them into a more structured and suitable setting!
Elia lives for fetch, so during this "dog test" if you will, she was really more focused on the human and the job (getting the ball), than she was on anything else. However, if the humans left the play yard and took the toys, her reactivity at the fence line would come back because she didn't have anything else to focus on.
Experienced dog owners might see what we see: POTENTIAL! Dogs like Elia are incredibly easy to train, fun to train, and make fantastic adventure buddies as they have the stamina and the mental desire to explore!

Adoptable doggos Annie & Wolfie enjoyed their romping & wrestling session together! We love seeing friendships develop while they wait for a forever home of their own!
Annie & Rosie enjoyed a walk together with one of our volunteers! <3 now all they need is a home to call their own!
Are you a couple who both enjoy walking, hiking and/or jogging? Would you both enjoy time in your back yard watching your dogs play? Would you love the idea of each of you having a dog with you on these outdoor adventures? Look no further! Dale & Benedict are the BEST of friends, and while they're ok being adopted separately, we think they'd love to be adopted together!
They have a great dynamic: Dale is the leader, Benedict is the pesky younger brother 😜 but they love to play and enjoy their walks side by side. They'll both benefit from continued training, but if they each have a handler ready to help them along, they'll both catch on quickly- both are super smart!
From now through May 15th, we're doing a BOGO adoption fee! Two beautiful souls for one low adoption fee💙

Are you looking for a running buddy to keep you company? Dale is your guy!

Piper is a 5 year old Siberian Husky who should be in her prime. Huskies are energetic, driven, adventurous, and full of endurance. Unfortunately, Piper can barely go out to potty without having to lie down. This will be a long process, but Piper deserves to feel her best and not struggle to be a dog. Our hope is that whomever adopts her can continue this journey with her one day at a time!🤗
