Story
Hi I'm Goonther! I'm as goofy as my name suggests so I guess my friends did a good job picking it for me! I might need a couple of visits with a new family before I'm ready to go home but I've been getting a lot of attention and building my confidence every day. I've learned how to walk on a leash, play "touch", and have spending time in the play yard which is super fun. I can't wait to blossom in a home with a new family all my own!

Story
Hi I'm Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin for short. I need a home with plenty of physical outlets, preferably a fenced in yard and several walks, hikes, and jogs. I would do great with someone who has experience with dog-reactive dogs, as I struggle to cope in their presence. I love to play tug of war and run daily.

Story
Hi I'm Jesse! I'm a little bit shy but I've been working on my confidence a lot with my friends here at the shelter and I love showing them my silly and sweet personality! I love treats and playing training games too! I'll need a fenced in yard since I'm not quite comfortable with a leash yet and I'd make a really good "ranch dog" if I do say so myself! I hope you'll come down and meet me soon so I can start living my best life playing in your yard and napping in the sun.

Story
Hi I'm Jessica! I’m a beautiful gal with a big, silly personality. I love to get treats from my friends which I pay for with kisses. At first I was pretty nervous in the shelter, but the kennel staff and volunteers were so patient with me! I recently went into foster for a couple of weeks, and had an amazing time. Being in a home was so comfortable and natural for me. I loved running around the yard, sleeping on the couch, and playing with my foster brother. I’m really just a princess at heart! Though I'm not completely comfortable with a leash yet, I’ve been working hard to understand the harness. I’m a smart gal, and I know I can learn with the guidance of a patient family. If you have a soft spot for the sensitive pups, please come down to the shelter and ask to meet me so we can get to work being best buddies.
