Story
Sharon’s story isn’t the easiest—but it’s far from over.At just 1 year old and 20 pounds, this Retriever mix has already shown how resilient she is. After being hit by a car, Sharon is now on the road to recovery and will need an FHO surgery to help her back leg heal properly. Despite everything she’s been through, she continues to show quiet strength every day.During her time in a foster home, Sharon started off a little fearful, but with patience and consistency, she began to settle in and grow more confident with each passing day. One thing that really helped her come out of her shell? Another dog. Sharon absolutely loves canine companionship and seems to gain confidence from having a dog friend by her side.She’s still recovering and taking things slow, but she’s already showing us that she wants to trust, to feel safe, and to belong.Sharon would do best in a patient, understanding home—ideally with another confident dog to help guide her—where she can continue healing both physically and emotionally.She’s been through a lot, but with the right support, Sharon has such a bright future ahead of her.

Story
Rufus (formerly Jaelen) is back and ready to find his forever adventure buddy! This 6-year-old Retriever mix spent a year and a half in a loving home, where he proved himself to be a smart, fun, and loyal companion. What Rufus loves:• Car rides with the windows down• Long walks, hikes, and even runs• Chew toys galore• Showing off his tricks — sit, down, come, and paw! He’s house-trained, independent, and always up for an outdoor adventure. He’s got a little mischievous streak (trash can raider alert), but that’s part of his charm.Rufus did well with the family dog in his previous home, though he can be selective with unfamiliar dogs. A meet-and-greet is recommended for any future dog siblings. He will chase outdoor cats, birds, and wildlife — so a secure backyard and attentive handler are a plus. He can get vocal when he’s excited or wants attention, especially in the kennel, but he settles well in a home environment.Rufus is the perfect match for an active adopter who wants a loyal sidekick to explore the world with. Come meet Rufus and see if he’s the companion you’ve been searching for!

Story
Meet Willa — a big, beautiful 1-year-old Retriever mix with a heart full of love!Willa is a people-loving girl who truly shines when she’s by your side. She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest soaking up attention from her humans. While she has so much love to give, Willa is still building confidence in the world around her. New environments can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to leash walking, so she’ll need a patient adopter who can help her feel safe and supported.Willa would likely do best in a calm home where she can take things at her own pace. With time, encouragement, and consistency, she has all the potential to blossom into a confident, devoted companion.

Story
Hi! My name is Cali 🐾 I’m a 1.5-year-old Border Collie and Golden Retriever mix. I’m a happy, playful girl with lots of love to give. I have plenty of energy and love to run, play, and explore, but I can also relax and be calm when it's time to wind down. I love playing with toys especially anything I can chase, fetch, or carry around. I enjoy spending time with my family, whether we're playing outside, going for walks, or just hanging out together. I’m also great at entertaining myself and can play independently when needed. I love kids and enjoy being around them. I’m gentle, friendly, and love the extra attention and playtime they bring. I’m also very smart, curious, and eager to learn (that Border Collie side of me!). I’m affectionate and love belly rubs and cuddles. I’m fully potty-trained and doing really well with my manners. Overall, I’m a sweet, energetic, and loving dog who would make a wonderful companion for an active and caring family. 🐶💛
