Pupdate: Vinnie has been adopted but all of his sisters are waiting for homes!

Meet the V Puppies! 💜Verona, Vienna, Viola, Vera, Vivian, and Vinnie are 6 month old Collie/ Labrador mixes. They are from a local accidental litter. They are each around 20 pounds so will likely max out at 45-50 pounds. They are all a little timid with new people but warm up with gentle pets and kind words. After a few yummy treats and a little convincing, they are playful, spunky puppies that would make fantastic family dogs. They will need training and socialization to be the best dogs they can be. Vinnie is the only boy and is the gentlest of the bunch. They don’t seem to mind other dogs in the kennel but will need to meet all of your dogs prior to adoption. We don’t know how they are with children so we recommend that your younger children come with to meet them. Verona and Viola have longer coats so they may require regular grooming. The V Puppies will be available for adoption tomorrow, January 21 at 12pm. Please visit our website to review adoption requirements and submit an application. See you soon! 🐾

She is underweight but we’re working to get her up to a healthy size. Baby is so deserving a forever home and we hope she finds one very soon! She doesn’t seem bothered by other dogs in the kennel but she will need to meet all dogs in your home prior to adoption.

Hi, I’m Roxy! I am a 9 month old German Shepherd. 🩷I was surrendered at no fault of my own and I’m ready for my furever home. I’m a very sweet girl but I’m nervous with new people. I warm up with gentle pets, kind words and yummy treats. With some love and socialization, I’ll try to be the best dog that I can be! I'm a smart girl and already know basic commands. I'm eager to learn even more! I don’t seem to mind other dogs but I would need to meet all dogs in your home prior to adoption. I was in a home with other children but since I don’t have any experience with little kids, please bring your little kids in to meet me. I will be available for adoption at 2pm today, January 15th!

PUPDATE: Bre is adopted but the other 3 pups are still available!

Meet Xena, Jojo, Bre, & Sebastian! 🐾
They are 14 week old puppies. Their dad is a Great Dane and their mom is a German Shepherd/ Black Lab. They are from an accidental litter and they can't wait to find their furever homes! Xena, Jojo and Bre are the pretty girls and Sebastian is the handsome boy. They are all very sweet, calm and loving pups. They will need training and socialization to be the best dogs they can be. They are already 30-35 pounds so they will likely be close to over 100 pounds. They will need lots of room to play and grow. They don't seem to mind other dogs in the kennel but they will need to meet all dogs in your home prior to adoption. All four of the puppies will be available for adoption tomorrow, January 9th at 12pm. Please visit our website to review adoption requirements and submit an application. They can't wait to meet you! 💜

Meet Daksha! 🐾💜
This handsome boy is 7 year old Pitbull mix. He was adopted from us in 2022 but was sadly returned because the kids in the home were not helping to take care of him. He is so sweet and so eager to find his forever family. Daksha is a happy, calm, loving, and friendly boy. He loves everyone and has quickly become a favorite amongst volunteers and staff. He walks well on a leash and is well mannered. He does not show any signs of aggression or reactivity towards other dogs but he needs to meet all dogs in your home prior adoption. Daksha was with young children and was great with them. He will make a great addition to any home. He will be available for adoption today at 3pm and he can't wait to meet you! Please visit our website to review adoption requirements and submit an application to meet Daksha! See you soon! ❤

PUPDATE: ADOPTED!
Meet Miss Oakley! 🎀
This pretty girl is a 1.5 year old Mountain Cur/ German Shorthaired Pointer/ Catahoula Leopard Dog/ Pitbull mix (according to her DNA results). She was surrendered after being bounced around to 3 different homes. Oakley seeks companionship and is eager to learn how to be the best dog she can be. It is apparent that she spent most of her life in a crate and did not get the love, socialization or training that she needs and deserves. During assessments and training, she looks to us for guidance and approval because she's so eager to please. Oakley is sweet, affectionate and loving with everyone she meets. She may need to be the only dog in the home but we will discuss that in meetings with potential adopters. All children in the home must be present to meet as we are unsure how she is with children. We hope that someone has room in their home and their heart for Oakley, who is just looking for a chance to love and be loved. She will be available for adoption on Wednesday, January 8th at 2pm. Please visit our website to review adoption requirements and submit an application. She can't wait to meet you! 🐾

BEST PUPDATE: Thanks to you all sharing this post, Pebow's owner saw it and he is SO excited to come get him today! Pebow will be going home! 🥰

Pebow needs a foster home for his golden years, could that be you? ❤ Mr. Pebow is a 10-12 year old Bulldog mix. He was brought in as a stray but sadly no one came for him. He's hard of hearing and losing his sight but he is still lively and loves cuddles. He has some lumps and bumps; some of which will be removed by our vet at our cost. Pebow loves his cozy bed, belly rubs, short walks and lots of treats. He is looking for someone to love him in his remaining years. He doesn't seem to mind other dogs but would do best with another older or calmer dog. We are unsure how he would be with young children. We require that your dogs and all children under 10 years old come into meet him. While hospice fostering, we provide all medical care and any other supplies needed. You just provide a cozy and safe home. If you are interested in fostering Pebow, please submit a foster application: https://www.noahsarkanimals.org/foster. If you already have an application on file, please email us at [email protected].
