Story
Kaiser is a fun-loving pup with a big personality! He’s playful, energetic, and always ready for an adventure. He’s also quite the conversationalist and loves to express himself—whether it`s excitement or just telling you about his day!New people? Kaiser likes to take his time getting to know them. He may be a little unsure at first, but with patience (and some yummy treats!), he`ll warm up and show his affectionate side.Kaiser would do best as the only dog in the home—he enjoys having all the love and attention to himself! That said, he might be able to share his space with a dog-savvy cat who understands his boundaries. He could do well with kids 15+, who are respectful and are use to jumpy, sometimes nervous pups and can give him the space he needs to feel safe.Before making things official, Kaiser would love to meet the whole family to ensure it’s a perfect fit. Think you could be the one for him? Come say hello!

Story
Meet Elvis!Elvis is a wiggly, silly bundle of energy who absolutely thrives on attention and love! He desperately needs a home that has abundant time for him and his needs. He’s a true foodie at heart and can be quite the little scavenger. If there’s food around, be prepared for Elvis to try and sneak a bite—he’s known to dive right into any trash can he can find. His excitement around food is off the charts, so it’s essential for his family to help manage his excitement in a calm and positive way.Elvis would do best in a home where he’s the only dog, as he hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs and could be a bit picky with them. He’s perfectly fine walking by other dogs on leash, though! He did live with 3 cats before and adored them, but it`s important to note that not all cats will be a good fit for him. His future home should have cats that have experience living with dogs.Elvis does have ongoing chronic ear infections, so he will need a dedicated home that has a relationship with a vet for ongoing care and treatment. He’ll thrive in a home with kids 8+ who are active, understanding of his love for food, and can use positive methods to manage his excitement.If you’re looking for a fun, food-loving companion who’s ready to bring tons of joy and silliness to your life, Elvis might be the perfect fit! Elvis will need to meet the whole family to make sure he is the right fit for your home.

Story
Let me tell you about Kali girl! She is nervous around new people, places and things, but given slow introductions and some patience she comes out of her shell! She is a silly, playful gal who loves to play in the snow, entertains herself with toys, and spend as much time outside as possible sniffing around.She is house and crate trained, has done ALL her business outside like a proper lady. She needs a home with another confident dog to show her the ropes and make her feel more secure. A home with no children might be best, as she gets nervous with sudden movements and can react if people don’t read her signals of stress.Kali does well with routine and predictability and would thrive in a quite, calm home without lots of people coming and going. She is very sweet, super smart; already knowing commands like sit, down, and come. Kali is a total goofball once she’s settled in.Kali thrives in an environment where she is given lots of space and time. A crate of her own that she always has access to lets her do this. When given this she will quickly show you her true sweet and charming personality. We would love for you and your entire family, including other dogs, to meet Kali!

Meet Gus: The Handsome Hunk!Looking for a big, loveable companion? Look no further than Gus! This beefy boy is bursting with personality and ready to shower his family with affection. Gus is overwhelmed by kid energy and needs a home where he is the star of the show. Gus is a happy-go-lucky dog who greets everyone with enthusiastic butt wiggles and a goofy grin. His favorite pastimes include playing fetch and going for long walks. Make sure you bring an extra tennis ball or two! He`d appreciate a home that`s willing to help him on his weight loss journey, and he`ll happily repay you with endless love.Gus is looking to be the only pet in the home. He`d enjoy occasional playdates with canine friends for on-leash adventures in a safe and secure environment. Gus does not want to live with cats and they do not want to live with him. If you`re searching for an adventurous companion to play and hike the year away, please consider Gus! He`s eager to meet you and the entire family and become your new best friend.

Story
Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!
