Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis dog is available to meet by appointment only. Stacy came into the shelter confused and scared but with her curious nature and affinity for other dogs, she has started to relax and take it all in. She is clearly a smart girl and has already learned a lot by observing the other dogs. While still shy, she happily takes treats from volunteers' hands and allows a gentle pet or two. She is also learning to walk on leash by simply following other dogs and doing what they do. In a quiet home with an experienced adopter and a confident canine sibling, we think Stacy will blossom into an affectionate pup who fully embraces the good life of comfy dog beds, yummy treats, and a family of her own.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis dog is available to meet by appointment only. Though barely out of puppyhood, creamy chi-mix Garth has had a rough start to life and is looking for an angel adopter who will give him all the love and care he deserves. Brought in as a stray, he is overwhelmed by the shelter environment and shy with volunteers, likely due at least in part to issues with his back legs, which appears to be congenital. Garth is mobile and gets around in his own way, enjoys playing with stuffed toys and the company of other gentle dogs, and is starting to learn the value of tasty treats. Garth would do best in a quiet home without stairs, preferably with a confident yet gentle pup who can show him how to dog. Is there room in your heart and home to help this young boy live a full and happy life? Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Butterbean! If you've found yourself here, you must be looking for a pocket-sized princess with an absolutely fabulous underbite. Oh, and she twirls. As in, perfect little excited circles that bring joy and belly laughs. Here's what her foster has learned about this 3-year old in a short time… The positives Seems potty trained. Sleeps through the night. Likes to go on walks. EXPERT lap dog. Have an open lap? Now you don't. Friendly towards dogs of SIMILAR size. She's a wee 6 pounds, so if you've got bigger pup she's probably not your gal. Kid friendly with slow and respectful children, 8+ Very food motivated. Haven't seen any destructive tendencies so far. Som considerations Butterbean is a velcro dog. She wants you to be her person, and she doesn't like being alone. Best suited for a retiree or work from home family. She's a slow burner, and needs to feel safe before bestowing her stinky kisses. She needs a patient and gentle adopter(s) willing to work on confidence building. While generally quiet, she does have a loud voice for a small dog and it comes out randomly. Unknown how she feels about cats, but she does bark and pull at other prey. Will likely do best in a low traffic, quiet neighborhood. Think it's a match? Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.January 31, 2025, 5:26 pm

Story
Very social, loves to play with other dogs. Big sniffer, big runner, loves to chase other dogs but not particularly balls or fetch. Can be a little shy but not for long. Extremely sweet and happy temperament. Loves the beach and sand (but not the water), squeaky toys, puzzle feeders, chewing toys, and sun bathing. Snuggler and burrower, favorite spot to nap is by your feet under the covers. Positive history with other dogs of ranging ages/energy levels. Has never been boarded or gone to daycare. No real experience with cats, would probably be scared of them if anything. Has had some separation anxiety, does much better when left home alone with another dog(s). Crate training to enforce naps/overnight. Can be mildly destructive if left home alone outside of the crate (accidentally knocks things off table, chews any paper or plastic). Ideal home: Multiple family members with someone present a good chunk of the day, at least one other younger dog. Previous training experience.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Xipe, the sweet and endearing pup who’s looking for a loving family to help him build confidence and trust. 1-year-old Xipe might be a bit shy and may initially freeze or cower when approached too quickly. But don’t let that fool you—underneath his reserved exterior is a playful and loving pup who thrives with patience and gentle encouragement. Xipe’s sweet nature shines through once he feels comfortable. He’s incredibly affectionate and finds joy in human company. His strong motivation for treats makes him eager to learn, and he’s already mastered commands like "sit," "leave it," "house," and "couch." He’s also crate trained, which helps him feel secure and at ease in his environment. Living harmoniously in foster with four cats and three other dogs, Xipe is friendly and gets along well with his furry companions. His playful spirit and treat motivation make him an enthusiastic learner and a fun addition to any home. Xipe will do best with another confident, friendly dog in the home to show him the ropes. Potential adopters should be ready to continue Xipe’s socialization journey with consistent positive reinforcement training. With your patience and love, Xipe will flourish into the confident, joyful companion he’s meant to be. If you’re ready to offer a safe and nurturing environment for this wonderful pup, Xipe is eager to find his forever family and show you just how loving and fun he can be!
