Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sven the Great Dane is becoming the dog he was meant to be. He’s still a youngster, we think around 12 months. He’s a very happy, healthy boy. Sven enjoys his long walks. He has so much fun chasing a ball and the secret is to have multiple balls in hand - that’s because Sven knows how to bring the ball back, drop it and wait for the next ball to be thrown. He may also be overly interested in small furry creatures. We think Sven is just a great all round boy. He has so many wonderful qualities, the best of which is he’s a leaner and a snuggler.   November 16, 2024, 5:27 pm

Oso is an 8-year-old Husky with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. Originally adopted from us in 2018, he’s found his way back due to housing challenges and is now looking for a calm, loving home to enjoy his golden years. He’s a gentle and quirky guy who might do well with the right dog friend but prefers a cat-free and small-animal-free zone. Oso’s dream is a low-key life with someone who appreciates his charming personality. Could that someone be you?January 11, 2025, 1:36 pm

Story
Meet Chewy, a 4.5-year-old terrier mix with a heart as big as his personality! This little guy is as sweet as they come, but he’s also got his own unique quirks—just like the best dogs do. Chewy is looking for a special, adult-only home where patience and understanding are part of the daily routine. He’s a social pup who enjoys the company of other dogs and could probably befriend a cat, but honestly? He wouldn’t mind ruling his own little kingdom as the one and only. If you’re ready to give Chewy the love, guidance, and attention he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless devotion (and maybe a little royal attitude). Could you be the one to make his dreams come true?February 26, 2025, 2:06 pm
