Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Abel is affectionate, playful, smart, and obedient. He's also house-trained and a loyal companion who loves to cuddle, especially with his head on your lap, and is always ready for belly rubs. Abel enjoys a solid 10 hours of sleep, as long as you’re right there sleeping, too. He settles beautifully after a 5-10 minute romp with a ball or frisbee, a game of hide-and-seek, or a nice walk filled with plenty of sniffing and marking. And while he might pull a bit (okay, maybe a lot) on his walks, he’s well-mannered in the home. He even knows a few tricks and performs with or without treats! You can trust Abel to be calm and content when left out of his kennel for several hours—his longest solo time was seven hours, and he simply rested and kept watch for any "dangerous" Amazon trucks. Abel would love a home without kids or other animals, where he can relax without being disturbed during meals. He’s independent about his space and prefers not to be poked or prodded. When grandkids or visitors are over, he happily hangs out in the bedroom if needed. Truly, Abel is an easygoing guy who’s ready to bring so much love to the right home. He has a few quirks, but don’t we all?   Abel does take an oral medication twice a day to help prevent seizures.    Abel is from an owner surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Pizza is a beautiful, affectionate dog who loves attention and being close to his people. He’s incredibly sweet and loyal, often seeking your approval when outdoors—it’s truly heartwarming! He enjoys cuddling, belly rubs, and will even use his nose to nudge your hand onto him for some extra comfort. Pizza also loves to snuggle up in bed with our kids and is always looking to be near someone he trusts. While Pizza is very loving, he can be shy and reserved when first meeting new people, especially men. He needs some time and space to feel safe. A patient family who understands his need to retreat and adjust at his own pace would be a great match for him. Having a confident dog sibling will really help boost his confidence. Right now, he’s scared of cats, but that might change over time with a slow introduction. Pizza is a wonderful companion who will thrive in a calm, understanding home that gives him the time he needs to feel comfortable. Once he feels secure, his loving and cuddly personality will really shine. Click here to see a cute video of Pizza enjoying some time outside! Pizza is from a local reservation.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi!  My name is Peach and I am settling in nicely after being with my foster family for a few weeks.  I was scared of everyone to begin with, but have realized these people are going to be nice to me so now I have started to really come out of my shell and let my personality shine!  I am still very scared when I meet new people, especially men, so I need time to feel comfortable and safe with new faces. I will bark and growl at first but this is because I'm so scared and I want to make sure new people understand I need my space.   I don't like being left alone, so a house with someone home most of the time would be best for me. My nose was a bit raw from rubbing it on the door of my kennel but it is nearly healed since I don't go in a crate much any more. I have been known to find things on the counter and believe that finders are keepers so I would suggest for everyone's sake that temptation is kept to a minimum.    I also REALLY like playing with the dog that lives here - he is showing me how to trust people, to sit for treats, to walk nicely on a leash and be part of a family.  A house with a dog would help to keep me busy and tire me out as I still have some puppy energy even though I am 1.5 years old.  When he is not willing to play, I can amuse myself with a toy - tennis balls are the BEST!   And the best place to sleep is close to the humans - in the same room for sure but next to you in bed is really where I want to be.  I will snuggle up and snore quietly once I trust you.     I haven't had any accidents in the house since I got here. I like to spend some time outside in the yard with my family and get to go for 3-4 walks every day to practice my leash manners, and build up my confidence when I see new people.   Peach was found as a stray.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Halo, a 5-month-old with a heart full of love and a playful spirit! This sweet boy is crate trained, rides well in the car and enjoys playing with other dogs. Halo is a typical goofy puppy, who loves to cuddle, often falling asleep in the silliest positions. Although he can be a bit shy at first, he warms up and shows his playful side. Small children do make him nervous, so a home with no littles would be best. Halo would thrive in a quiet home, especially with another playful dog to keep him company. Born in rescue with his brother Cosmo, he may look like a Labrador Retriever, but his Cocker Spaniel roots shine through in his personality. Check out the image of his DNA test if you don't believe it! If you’re looking for a loving, goofy companion, Halo might just be the perfect fit for you!   Halo is from Texas.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi my name is Rusty Briggs. I am a certified very good boy. I am a pretty mellow guy and love the company of other dogs. I have done well with a wide variety of canine friends and can play a great game of chase and wrestle. I am also content to just coexist. I kennel nicely, but also do well in a room by myself. I love attention. I do have a very sensitive side and can find loud noises and sudden movements a bit scary. I tend to pout when I am anxious. I really want to please people and have the most adorable underbite when I am thinking about things. Come and meet me today! Rusty Briggs is from a local impound.
