Story
Shadow is a playful and sweet boy who loves to run but needs a bit of discipline and training. We are looking to find him a healthy, happy, and an energetic parent. A family that will treat him like a part of their own family and keep him indoors and not chained outside. He loves to eat and hasn’t had too much human or dog interaction but will learn with a good parent. Only reason we are trying to place him in a new home is because we just had a baby and our home is small so it’s really difficult to give him time and proper space also we feel as if we can’t give him what he deserves. We love Shadow and he is a joy to have but ultimately want what’s best for him.

A close-access to a backyard, park, or other area where Marley can sniff and run about is great for him.

Story
Meet Wraven, a loving, spirited sweetheart! Her favorite activities are playing fetch in a fenced yard and chewing on a peanut butter-filled Kong. If you can throw a tennis ball, you'll have a friend for life in Wraven! Wraven is an intelligent girl who loves to shake hands, and has also mastered Sit, Bed, and Drop It. She sleeps through the night without a peep, and often enjoys slow mornings in her crate. Wraven is always happy to spend time with her people, and she shows her affection with lots of kisses, cuddles, and requests for belly rubs!

Training and patience will help Wraven become the best walking companion. PHYSICAL Wraven has a silky black coat and warm brown eyes. HEALTH Wraven is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. HISTORY Wraven's previous owner brought her to a local shelter because of financial hardship.

Story
Hi, I’m Sonia, a charming and affectionate four-year-old girl born on Valentine’s Day! With a sleek black coat and a striking white blaze on my chest, I’m smart, eager to please, and highly motivated by food and praise, making training enjoyable for me. My favorite activities include exploring the woods, running off energy, and then napping. I also love treats and toys, and I’m generally easy to please. At home, I’m calm, quiet, and well-behaved, often napping or watching for squirrels from the sofa. While I may bark at strangers and can be anxious around some people, I warm up quickly and show my affectionate side. I’m known to be “dog-reactive,” meaning I’m not the best with other dogs, but I do have a couple of canine friends. Cats are not a good match for me, as I prefer to steer clear of them. I’m looking for a loving and stable home that can provide attention and training to build my confidence. I promise to share my love and enjoy soft ear rubs. Could you be my forever family?

Story
Hi there, my name is Babi! I am a friendly and affectionate older gal who loves attention! I would be best in a home with no cats, and I will need slow/monitored introductions to any new people or other pets in the home. Insights from my adventure buddies:`Babi was the absolute sweetest! She was potty trained and did well on walks. When seeing other dogs she did not react much, but this was from afar. She was a couch potato and loved to give cuddles. She loved to go on walks and did an amazing job in her new environment. She is super low maintenance and would be a great addition to someone`s home! She does have some slight separation anxiety, but nothing that wouldn`t go away with time and a little training!``Babi was such a sweet girl. Super chill and so well behaved. She seems potty trained, was excited to go on walks and be in the car and loved a pup cup. She loved sitting in the apartment, never barked, and was soooo cute and sweet! We loved her and hope she finds a great home ASAP.``Babi is really a perfect dog. We had such a fun day with her. Although she is a bit on the older side, she had no shortage of energy. We started the day with a run on the Bolin Creek trail which she did great on. She didn`t pull on the leash or stop too much and can match speed really well. She was a little bit reactive towards other dogs (barking and pulling towards them) but was fine other than that, and that was her only flaw. After our walk, we had tons of cuddle and play time inside and she did great. She seems housetrained and goes to the door when she needs to go outside. She loves to play and is also one of the best cuddlers ever. She is so sweet and will

Story
My name is Yin and I came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about me. I am a sweet boy with humans and came in with another dog that I seemed to get along well with. However, I have had issues with livestock/horses in the past that will need to be managed and monitored and slow introductions with other animals are recommended. My foster home reports that my leash skills have really been improving. And they also report that I have become much less reactive to bikes/cars/runners with time and training. I`m very smart and eager to learn. Give me a chance!The shelter folks know me as Yin, but the couple that took me in during the storm call me Shadow, because I am their little shadow and follow them all around the house. I have been such a good dog that they decided to keep me at the house after the storm. Let me tell you a little about myself:I am a perfect angel in the house, I seem completely house trained, don’t chew on anything except what I have been given to chew and I stay off the furniture all on my own. I don’t even beg for human food! And I don’t jump…..much. I know `sit` really well. I am working on `down` now.I have a very soft, shiny coat and have not shed at all while in this home. I am very clean! I have beautiful golden eyes.I am very calm and take naps when nothing is going on in the house. I love ear messages and lots of pets and kisses. I am very affectionate and love to be loved. Neck hugs are the best!I was in a very loving home in the past but they did not show me how to play so I have no idea what to do if you throw a ball or try to play tug even though I am a Labrador retriever. I need someone to show me how to be a dog in this regard.Speaking of dogs….I react to dogs when we are out taking walks. That is my biggest challenge. Maybe I have not gotten to socialize with other dogs very much. I may need some training in this regard, but I am sure I can learn to be a good dog regarding this too. Sometimes I pull on the leash during walks but I am getting so much better at this after just a few days with my

Story
Say “what’s up” to Willie Jack! This adorable pup is a bundle of joy who’s as sweet as he is silly! Willie Jack is always ready for some fun, whether it’s chasing toys, running around the yard, or curling up for a cozy nap once all the fun is done. Willie Jack is a lovable pup who knows his basic commands, is house and crate-trained, and is the perfect buddy to take on car rides for exciting adventures. He’s been living in a foster home with other dogs and is a big fan of his doggy buddies. He’d do well in a home with other dogs but could also be a solo co-pilot for all of your adventures. Though he’s still perfecting his leash skills, his eagerness to please makes him a quick learner, and he is VERY food-motivated (which makes training a breeze). Willie Jack is on the lookout for a family who’s ready to keep up with his playful spirit, let him be a part of all the fun and outings, spend lots of time with him, and help him continue his training so he can be the best boy. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun-loving furry friend who’ll make every day an adventure, Willie Jack is waiting to be your new best buddy!  ##1832974##

Story
Gatsby is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever & Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as golden as his fur. Rescued just in time from a shelter where he was at risk of euthanasia, Gatsby's past is a mystery—but one thing is clear: he was once someone's beloved companion. His intelligence and well-mannered behavior suggest he received training from an early age. Gatsby is calm, gentle, and incredibly polite. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and wait and patiently sits for treats without a fuss. He’s not much of a barker and remains composed even in new environments or around strangers. He adores human affection and will melt into your touch, always ready to soak up love and cuddles. While Gatsby is sweet with people, he's more of a solo explorer when it comes to other dogs. He prefers his own company over rowdy playtime and would thrive as the only dog in a home. If another pup challenges him, he may react, so a peaceful, single-dog household would be best for him. This handsome gentleman walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is ready to settle into home life. He may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, but with patience and love, he will blossom into the loyal, graceful companion he was meant to be. If you understand the loving, devoted nature of Retrievers and are ready to give Gatsby the forever home he deserves, he’ll repay you with endless affection and unwavering loyalty. Gatsby is waiting for a family to love him forever—could it be you?

Story
Piper is a 6-year-old, healthy, loyal, playful, extremely well-trained golden retriever. Piper's favorite things are: 1. Spending time outside - going on new hikes, hanging out at the lake, chasing a ball in the yard, sitting on the porch while being pet. 2. Playing 3. Receiving lots of attention at home. I'm looking for a new home for Piper because my lifestyle has changed, and she will be happier with someone who has a consistently active lifestyle and more time to give her attention. Where Piper will not do well: 1. Being around other dogs. Piper is very nervous around dogs that show too much interest in her. She will do best in a home where she is the only pet, although she has lived with other animals just fine, depending on their temperament. 2. In a home where she does not receive enough attention and walks.
