Story
Meet Clyde! 🐶⚡ Clyde is a lovable, high-energy sweetheart who’s just looking for someone to soak up all his love—and he’s got plenty to give! He adores people of all ages, including kids, and is always ready to be the center of attention. Whether it’s belly rubs or full-body snuggles, Clyde is here for it. He’s been struggling a bit in the shelter environment and would thrive in a home that gives him the structure (and cuddles!) he craves. He’ll need some leash work—this boy loves to pull—but with consistent training, he’ll make a fantastic adventure buddy. Clyde did fine during his cat test and could possibly live with a tolerant female dog who won’t mind his lack of canine manners. Like all of our adoptable pets, Clyde is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. If you’re ready for a fun, affectionate, and slightly wild best friend, Clyde’s your guy! 🐾💙

Story
Meet Shadow! Shadow is a resilient soul who’s come a long way from a past of abuse and neglect. Understandably, he’s still learning how to trust, and he’ll need a patient, experienced adopter who’s willing to go at his pace. Shadow is especially wary of men and would do best in a calm, adult-only home where he can feel safe and supported. Once he warms up, Shadow proves to be a loyal and protective companion. He’s great on a leash, handles baths just fine, and gets along well with both cats and other dogs. Shadow is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. With time, love, and stability, he has the potential to blossom into an incredibly devoted best friend. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to nurture and grow with, Shadow may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Zero! Zero came from a home with 17 other dogs, where he didn’t get much socialization. Since arriving here, he’s been making wonderful progress—his personality is starting to shine as he learns to trust people and enjoy new experiences. At just 9 months old and around 25 pounds, Zero shouldn’t get much bigger. He’s the brother with more brindle in his coat, making him extra handsome. Zero is still getting used to a leash and can take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, you’ll see his sweet nature. He seems interested in other dogs, and with cats, he’d likely be more curious and cautious than anything—he’d do best with one that respects his space. Kids who understand to give him time and patience will also do well with him. Zero does have a hygroma on his front elbow, likely from laying on hard surfaces in his past. It’s been drained twice since he came to us and has returned, so he just started an anti-inflammatory on 9/23 to help manage it. If adopted before we’re able to finish his care, Zero will still need the rest of his DHPP vaccine series.

Story
Meet Sally! Sally is a sweet, gentle puppy who’s just starting to learn what it means to be part of a loving home. She came from a house with 17 other dogs and had very little socialization, so she can be a little timid at first. With patience, calm introductions, and a few treats (her favorite!), Sally’s shy personality blossoms into something truly special. She does okay on a leash and even tolerates bath time pretty well. If there are children in her new home, they’ll need to be calm at first to help her feel safe and comfortable. Sally will still need the rest of her DHPP vaccine series if it isn’t completed before adoption, but otherwise she’s ready to continue her journey toward becoming a confident, happy companion.

Story
Meet Veda  Veda is a very sweet girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She came from a neglect situation, so new environments and new animals can feel a little overwhelming at first—but once she feels comfortable, her gentle personality really shines. Veda would do best with a calmer dog companion and slow, thoughtful introductions. During dog testing she seemed scared rather than reactive, and she was also a bit unsure around cats, so a home without cats or with very patient management would be ideal. People, however, are her favorite—especially when treats are involved! She does well on a leash, enjoys quiet walks, and isn’t particularly interested in toys, preferring snacks and affection instead. Veda is looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her blossom at her own pace. ✨ Veda is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to love and spoil with treats, Veda may be your perfect match.
