Story
Sage is a beautiful 10-year-old sable Rough Collie who still has plenty of pep in her step! She loves her walks, enjoys car rides (and even knows how to climb a ladder to get in!), and is great with stairs. This sweet girl is friendly with everyone — dogs, people, kids, and even babies — but she’s not a fan of cats. She adores tummy rubs, chatting with her people, and being part of the action. Sage came to us after her beloved owner passed away, and she’s now ready to find her next forever home filled with love and care. She’s recovering from some minor skin issues, so her adopter will need to help her stay comfortable with regular grooming, clean bedding, good nutrition, and lots of love. Sage is proof that age is just a number — she’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and loyalty to her next family. Is it you????

Story
HI - I'M GABE! I'm a handsome 5-year-old blue-and-white Pit Bull Terrier in need of a home! I'm truly adorable, with my short legs and heart-shaped nose. I love people and love going on road trips, walks, and hikes. I also love the car and would make a great co-pilot. I could play ball all day long so be prepared! I'm not the greatest fan of most dogs, so would do best as the king of my castle with people who can dote on me. And I do fine with some cats but not others, so will probably do best in a home without any cats, too. I weigh about 60 lbs., and am currently in need of a foster or forever home. Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M VAIL! I'm a sweet & loving snow white 4-1/2-year old Pit Bull Terrier girl in need of a foster or forever home. I love people and am quite the snuggler. I also love my crate, and sleep in it at night (though would probably gladly share your bed.) I'm not destructive in the house and am overall a joy to have around. I'm also quite playful. At about 56 lbs., I'm a strong girl, and could use some minor leash training. I've tested well with some dogs but can be reactive to others on a leash, so would do best with a strong dog-savvy owner. I'd love a warm bed, a person or people to love me and a chance to go for a walk or on road trips. Can you foster adopt me? Please email for an application.

Story
HI -I'M NOMI! I'm a 5-year-old beautiful Dutch Shepherd-Pit mix in need of a foster or forever home. My name means "beautiful" and "delightful" and it is so fitting, because I have a gorgeous brindle coat and a sweet face. I was rescued from a California shelter, and now have been waiting patiently for someone to notice me! I am gentle with people, and am friendly with most dogs, though I can get jealous at times. I would probably thrive as an only dog where I could get all of the attention, or hang out with a submissive male. I weigh 68 pounds. I would love a new home this year! Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M JOHNNY, a 10-year-old pit/lab mix waiting for a foster or forever home. I'm super cute with my red & white coloring and my speckled ears! My ideal adopter is a single person who wants a companion, a pal for hanging out, walks, hikes, watching TV, car rides, napping. I love to play fetch, and I listen to basic commands. I tend to bond to one person who will be my soulmate, so couples may not be the best for me because I don't want to share the person I bond with and love. I love scratches and affection! I get bored if left alone too long, so best not to leave me out in the backyard for hours. I'm still quite agile and have been known to jump over a fence in my younger days. I'm not all that trustworthy around other dogs, especially male dogs, so it's best if I'm the only dog in the home. I'm still in good health and I'm basically looking for my forever companion to go for walks or hikes or simply watch TV and snuggle. I weigh about 70 lbs. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email me for an application
