Story
Kali is 6 years old and was adopted in March of 2019 from a private breeder. She prefers to be indoors unless she is outside playing fetch or going on a car ride. Through an "Embark" test we know Kali is 93.7% German Shepherd and 6.3% "unresolved". She is protective and weary of strangers. Because of this she can come across as somewhat aggressive towards anyone she doesn't know. She is very smart and sweet, however, she needs an owner or owners who have time to groom, play, cuddle, and truly appreciate her.

Story
Meet Rune!Rune`s journey has been quite challenging, as her name suggests a bit of magic that she truly deserves. She started off in an overcrowded shelter, confined to a crate day and night without any breaks. After being adopted in late 2023, she unfortunately found herself lost and was discovered by one of our partner shelters running along the side of the road. Sadly, her owners haven`t responded to our calls, so she has returned to us once again.Since coming back, Rune has shown just how resilient she is. It`s heartwarming to see her spirit shine through; she always has a smile on her face. While she is full of energy, she knows how to settle down after some playtime or training and enjoys relaxing in our office with us. Rune absolutely loves to play with toys and has mastered many commands, including sit, lay down, leave it, roll over, stay/wait, easy, shake with both paws, and spin.Rune is already an incredible dog, but the depth of her potential is truly remarkable. We invite you to come meet her and experience her wonderful spirit for yourself. Walk-ins are always welcome!

Story
RCHS does not conduct DNA tests on dogs who enter our facility therefore we are unable to guarantee breed or breed mix. Information provided by shelter staff, volunteers, and veterinarians is used to give a best estimate as to a dog’s breed make up. We do our best to inform adopters about the potential breeds for each dog.We are a dog only facility so we do not know how most of our dogs will be with cats. Even if a dog is surrendered to us and said to be good with cats there is no way to be sure the dog will be good with your cats. We do have a 7 day foster-to-adopt program so that you can see how the dog interacts with your cats before adoption.

Story
We are looking to re-home our Shepherd Yadi. We hate to do this but he needs more room to run and needs to be worked with. The main reason for re homing is our young child. He has been great around him and loves to play with him but our son does tend to play rough sometimes (3 YOA) and we worry about that. He doesn’t trust strangers. Once he warmed up to us he has been very loyal but was very hesitant at first. He has been around a few other people but you will have to spend some time with him. He loves to chase the squirrels and birds in our back yard although he can never catch them lol. We will be picky about who he goes with since we don’t want him going with just anyone. He has plenty of drive and energy to work since he is a little over 3. He is extremely high energy!! He’s up to date on shots and is neutered. We have all of his papers from the breeder and medical documents. He has been playful around our dog. We took him in as a favor for someone we knew but were overwhelmed.
