Reo is a handsome and lovable boy who is crate trained and potty trained. He is loves the water and enjoys playing tug of war! He can get vocal during playtime, but don't worry-it's all just his way of having fun! He has great leash skills and enjoys going for walks. Reo is all about the snuggles. He loves rolling around on the ground or bed for belly rubs and has the cutest snorts when he's happy. One of his favorite things to do is perform a somersault onto your lap for some extra snuggles and belly rubs. Reo does need to be in a no cat household.

Epona's story is one of resilience and hope. This 5-year-old, 60-lb beauty has found herself at the shelter for a second time in just a year, through no fault of her own. Despite the abandonment she's faced, Epona's spirit remains unbroken. This good girl is a delight on walks, frequently checking in for treats and knows commands like "sit." She thrives in social settings, getting along wonderfully with her canine friends during play group. Epona is also a dream in the car, and loves nothing more than snuggling up on the couch with her person. With her affectionate nature and eagerness to please, Epona is ready to bring endless love and companionship to her new forever home. -- For anyone looking for a lost pet or considering adoption or fostering, we encourage you to make regular visits to the shelter.

Story
Meet DENNY He's an easy dog and would fit well in almost any home. He loves people and is friendly with everyone. He does well with other dogs, too. His foster says he's the calmest dog she has ever seen when meeting other dogs. A woman approached them with her 15-pound dog, and Denny just stood there, wagging his tail. Her friend has a dog that usually snarks at everyone-except Denny. He even met a herd of goats on one of their hikes and again, just stood there wagging his tail. It doesn't get much calmer than that! He's very sensible about meeting new friends. Denny is a medium-energy dog. He likes his crate, is potty-trained, and is non-destructive. He'll play ball, though it takes him a minute to drop it when he brings it back. Denny is a lovely dog. He's worth meeting and giving a chance to be your new BFF! -- For anyone looking for a lost pet or considering adoption or fostering, we encourage you to make regular visits to the shelter.
