Story
Meet Ace! This mature gentleman is the total package—friendly, well-mannered, and as chill as they come. Ace has done great with both male and female dogs he's met and already knows how to sit like a pro. He walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys a good stroll without all the puppy chaos. That’s the beauty of an adult dog—he’s past the wild phase but still has so much love and life to give. Ace is the kind of pup who will fit right into your home and heart.April 10, 2025, 1:46 am

Story
Meet Mae — this sweet girl came into the shelter on 3/13/2025 with a pelvic fracture. While we were told crate rest was the recommended course of action, we have not received any official medical records to confirm. Over the weekend, Mae completed her pain meds and rest period — and she’s already up and walking! We’re so proud of her progress, but we urgently want to get her into a rescue, foster, or adoptive home where she can continue to heal with the care she truly deserves. We haven’t had a chance to fully evaluate her around other animals just yet, but we do know one thing — Mae is a total sweetheart!April 10, 2025, 1:46 am

Story
Meet Momma — originally listed as just 1.5 years old, but once we met her, we realized she’s actually closer to 8. A sweet senior girl stuck in a rural shelter… can you imagine? Momma deserves so much more than a cold concrete kennel. She’s incredibly gentle, well-behaved, and walks beautifully on a leash. She knows how to sit and did wonderfully with other dogs during her temperament test. We are desperately searching for a soft, loving place for her to land. Could it be with you?April 10, 2025, 1:46 am
