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. Ethel is a sweet, intelligent dog with a calm and cautious nature. While she may take some time to warm up to new environments, her gentle demeanor shines through once she feels comfortable. Ethel is highly treat-motivated, making her eager to learn and easy to train. She has excellent recall, is crate trained, and can be trusted when left uncrated. Her leash manners are impeccable, and she enjoys her walks. Ethel interacts well with other dogs, though slow introductions are encouraged. Fast movements or sudden approaches can startle her, so a patient, gentle approach works best. Once Ethel feels safe and trusts someone, she absolutely loves attention and thrives on affection. Overall, she’s a well-mannered, loving companion, ideal for nurturing home. She is ready to be your best friend, are you ready to be hers?   Ethel is from an Owner Surrender.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. My name is Oso! I am a sweet, gentle dog who loves spending time with my humans. I enjoy playing outside, napping on the couch, and getting peanut butter treats from my foster dad. I am a very laid back dog who just wants to hangout and enjoy life with my humans.  I am a bit shy and a little timid so meeting new people is a little scary. Once I get to know you and start to feel comfortable, I will give you kisses and even snuggle on the couch with you. I tend to warm up to women a little faster than I do men. Finding a family who will be patient and understanding while I learn and gain confidence is very important.  I really enjoy being outside! I get the cutest little zoomies and will try to get my humans to play with me. The cold doesn’t seem to bother me one bit. I am a little shy when it comes to going to the bathroom while leashed. Because of this (and my love of playing outside!) I would do best in a home that has a fenced in yard.  Hanging out with my human is my favorite thing. I prefer to be wherever they are (I am a great companion!). We are working on kennel training, and while I do well, it isn’t my favorite place to be. I would much rather me laying on the couch near my foster mom. I am not super talkative unless I am playing outside or alerting my humans that there is someone new at the door. I have done well with other laid back dogs but need to find a home with no cats. My foster family thinks I am going to make a wonderful companion for a loving family!    Oso is from a local shelter.

Story

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Leelu is a sweetheart with a heart that shines! She lets you know how happy she is with the cutest little smile. She is gentle yet energetic, loves snuggles and being your shadow. She can hold her own in the wrestlemania of playing with her brother and has some serious sass when it comes to taking no crap from her brother and big foster brother.  She is curious about, but gentle with the kitties in the home and is learning what off means.  She’s love to be a counter surfer but she’s learning that food comes on a regular basis and that that isn’t needed or ok to do. It’s more she’s just so excited about meals and snacks she just can’t wait for it.  She’s learning sit and off so far. She goes to her kennel at feeding time and knows to sit before going in/out of doors and post potty snacks.  She can be a little loud in kennel at first but calms down. She loves when calming music is played for her. I think she’d do well with a friend to keep her company and learn from.  Overall she is a pure delight and honestly, you fall in love with her just meeting her and feeling how happy she is. She truly is a special little spirit.    Leelu is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
