Story
Lola is a very shy, tender-hearted girl who bonds at her own pace. While she may be hesitant if approached or picked up, she actually loves being near her person — she’ll follow you everywhere and, when she feels safe, she’ll be the one to approach you. Lola wants affection; she just needs a patient, understanding human who knows that fear can take time to heal. Once comfortable, her personality really shines. She’s playful, gentle, and incredibly sweet. Lola is very dog-friendly and takes comfort in other pups, loves to run around the backyard (or zoom through the house), and enjoys chewing on her toys. She’s cuddly when allowed to come to you on her terms and will happily sit beside you or curl up close. She’s pee pad trained and working on full house training, is loyal to her people, and only barks when someone knocks or enters. One of her cutest quirks? She may steal your slippers — not to destroy them, but because she loves your scent. With time, patience, and kindness, Lola will grow into a deeply loving and devoted companion. The right person won’t just give her a home — they’ll give her the safety she needs to truly bloom March 11, 2026, 2:39 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Betty is a little bit older with a wonderful personality that is already established. She was found wandering and was taken in and suddenly, had a puppy! She has been spayed so no more puppies, just time to find a home that wants to love on her and let her personality shine. She is a sweet girl who is ready for her own people. She loves to fetch and will do a dance for a treat. She is housebroken and just wants to be with you. As with any new companion, it is wise to spend good quality time with them and let them explore their new surrounding while you set the boundaries. It is also good to make sure they have a 'special' area they can escape to when company comes. This will make both you and your companion have a much better relationship. Love of Animals will screen potential adoption parents to ensure the companion WILL NOT be a fighting dog.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 6:58 pm

Story
Meet Louis — your future cuddle expert with a heart full of love and just the right amount of sass. This Chihuahua mix may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you, he’s got plenty of personality packed into his tiny frame. Louis is the perfect mix of independent and affectionate. He’s happy to do his own thing (especially if that involves going in and out of the doggie door like it’s his full-time job), but when it’s time to relax, he’s all about snuggling up close, preferably under a cozy blanket. Louis is dog-friendly, well-mannered, and already has all the basics down. He’s house trained, crate trained, and knows how to use a pet door like a pro. He’s also neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to settle right into his forever home. He does have a thyroid condition that requires medication twice a day, but he takes it like a champ. In return, you’ll get a loyal little companion who will quietly keep you company, only chiming in with a small bark when he needs your attention. His favorite things? Treats, new toys, chew bones, and, most importantly, being close to his person. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key best friend who will keep you warm and loved, Louis is your guy. Ready to fall in love? Louis is ready to meet you. April 10, 2026, 4:27 pm

Story
Meet Kip! Like his brother Cody, Kip was born in our rescue after his mom was saved from heartbreaking conditions where more than 15 dogs struggled to survive. Thanks to the safety and love of his foster home, Kip has grown up knowing kindness—and now he’s ready to find a family of his own. Kip is a gentle soul with a tender heart. While his brother jumps right into new adventures, Kip takes a little more time to warm up. Loud or unfamiliar noises can make him nervous, and when that happens, his crate is his safe haven where he feels secure. With patience, reassurance, and consistency, Kip is learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. This sweet boy absolutely loves the comfort of his people once he feels safe. He enjoys playing with dog friends, is good with kids, and has the same curious, playful spark as his brother—just at his own pace. Kip will thrive in a calm, loving home with a family who understands that shy dogs need time and encouragement to blossom. Kip’s heart is pure gold, and when he leans in for cuddles or trots over to join the fun, you can’t help but fall in love. He may start off reserved, but with patience and love, Kip will reward his forever family with unwavering loyalty and affection. Could Kip be the perfect match for your family?

Story
Nacho is a young adult chi-weenie with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Sweet, affectionate, and full of energy, he thrives on love and attention—especially ear and neck scratchies, which are his absolute favorite. He will politely insist you pick him up when he’s ready for cuddles. He walks nicely on a leash and is generally pretty quiet, often giving barking dogs a look that says, “please don’t disturb my peace.” This smart little guy graduated our PAWs to Prison training program and is very treat motivated. He learned an impressive list of commands, including sit, stay, down, bow, wait, come, rollover, paw, leave it, and fetch. He’s eager to please, quick to learn, and always ready for a snack or a training session. When he’s not showing off his skills, Nacho loves soaking up the sunshine and relaxing in warm, cozy spots. Nacho’s dog-friendly and has a soft spot for small female dogs, even if they occasionally try to boss him around (he’s more lover than fighter). Nacho is crate trained and still working on house training, making him a great candidate for someone ready to help him polish his skills. He has a hilarious little quirk—he loves carrying around a toy he’s completely obsessed with. When it’s time to eat, he faces a very serious dilemma: does he keep the toy in his mouth, or set it down to enjoy his meal? Watching him carefully weigh this decision is endlessly entertaining and gives you a glimpse into his thoughtful little mind. Nacho is a truly wonderful pup—funny, gentle, and full of charm—and he’s ready to bring joy and laughter into his forever home. March 11, 2026, 2:39 pm
