Story
We got Zena from an animal shelter when she was about four months old. She is now 11 as of 11/20/24. She needs a place that is peaceful with either no kids or older kids. She still likes to play and explore but is used to just chilling around the house. If she's allowed to snuggle with her owners she love lying on the couch or bed next to you. She very attentive and can be protective of her home environment. Great with people out of the house or at boarding facilities.

Story
Bailey is practically perfect in every way. She loves people and is up for playing all sorts of games. We believe she would do well with children but is a little nervous around other dogs. A meet and greet with any other dog in the home is highly recommended prior to adoption. Bailey is waiting for her new forever family, could that be you? Bailey is available for a meet and greet Monday through Friday 10am-5pm and Saturdays from 10am-1pm.The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.April 25, 2025, 4:35 pm

Story
Gunner He is a loving, energetic, food motivated, smart 6 month old puppy. He is currently less than 40lbs. Currently working on crate training and fully potty training. He gets along with other dogs, but hasn’t had much or any interaction with cats. He plays well but sometimes rough with other dogs. He already has a crate, toys, water/food bowl. He is fully up to date on vaccinations and he is neutered. My wife and I are pregnant and he needs a new home ASAP. We both currently work and no longer have space or capacity to fully take care of him. He will make a great companion to anyone willing to spend time and love on him.

Story
Meet Machu, a resilient 4-year-old pup with an incredible story. Rescued from an abandoned barn three years ago, Machu was underweight and covered in paint but has made remarkable progress. Due to our demanding work schedules, we can no longer give him the attention he deserves. Machu is microchipped, up to date on rabies, and will have all vaccines updated before adoption. He’s a high-energy, intelligent dog who thrives in a pack environment and loves to run and explore. Machu would flourish in a home with other dogs and enjoys herding or tackling obstacle courses. Though not a morning dog, he’s eager to play after work. Despite his size, he’s a snuggly lap dog with no sense of personal space! Due to his size, he’s not ideal for homes with young children. Machu is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows advanced commands. He has some fear aggression toward female strangers, so he’d do best in a male or mixed-gender household without kids. Apply to adopt Machu today!
