Story
Snowman was found as a stray before coming to the rescue. We can’t be certain what his life was like before, but it seems like it’s been a while since he’s felt kindness from humans. He’s timid with introductions, but if you’re calm and patient with him, he’ll warm up and become relaxed and comfortable around you in no time! He loves cuddling and receiving belly rubs from the people he’s deemed trustworthy. Snowman was recently adopted, but became reactive with his new owner's friend, so they needed to rehome him. Snowman seems to prefer women to men and isn't very warm to strangers. However, “Snowy” is incredibly food motivated and he wanted us to let you know that treats are the way to his heart! Snowy isn’t a fan of loud, sudden noises so he would do best in a calm home without small children. He is a very sweet and gentle boy once he’s able to collect his bearings. Snowy does well with other dogs and loves to play with his stuffed animals. We aren’t sure what Snowy’s mixed with, but there’s some suspicion he’s part Corgi due to his large chest and short legs. Whatever his mix is, he’s 100% perfect in our eyes and we hope you see it too! Please inquire today if you're interested in Snowman!

Story
Paso's journey hasn't been easy, but he's a resilient dog with a heart full of untapped potential. Found as a stray and brought to a shelter, Paso faced several challenges, including seizures and reactivity towards shelter staff.Recognizing Paso's need for specialized care, the shelter reached out to us. While he was initially reactive with us too, after being with us for nearly a year now and with plenty of time to decompress and adapt, Paso has become a staff favorite! While he still has some anxiety about meeting new people, given time and patience, he warms up beautifully.Paso's seizure disorder is managed with medication, though he experiences occasional break-through seizures which is normal for his condition. An MRI confirmed he has idiopathic epilepsy, so he will need lifelong medication. His future adopter should be prepared to maintain a close relationship with their vet.Paso's journey has left him with some emotional scars, including a bite history. He needs a patient and understanding person to help him heal and build trust. Due to his history of reactivity, Paso cannot be placed in a home with children.Paso is social and does well with other dogs, especially puppies. He loves showing them how to play and cuddle.Paso is very food motivated and eagerly anticipates mealtime, singing and jumping in excitement. He's also a treat sleuth, so keep an eye on your stash!While Paso's journey has been difficult, he is worth every ounce of effort. With your love, patience, and dedication, Paso can bloom into the loving, faithful companion he's meant to be. If you are that special person willing to give Paso the second chance he deserves, please inquire today!

He’s curious about the world, able to navigate his surroundings with ease, and has an unwavering love for human companionship. Wendell thrives on cuddles and affection, making him a truly special companion.Wyla, with her charmingly long tongue, is a sweetheart who adores people. She has a gentle nature and loves to shower everyone with kisses. Her warmth and playful spirit bring joy to all who meet her.These two have an unbreakable bond and must be adopted together. They find comfort in each other's company, enjoying restful moments, grooming sessions, and plenty of cuddles. Their love for each other is a beautiful reminder of the strength of companionship. Wendell and Wyla love each other so much that there's not much room for another dog in the mix, so they would prefer to be the only two dogs in your life.We believe that two dogs are better than one, especially when they share such a deep connection.

Story
If we had a dollar for every dog labeled as unadoptable and aggressive at the shelter, only to reveal their true sweet, goofy selves later, we’d be rich! Sir Charles might seem hesitant and a little fearful at times, but take a look at his pictures—does he look aggressive to you? No way! We don’t know his full story, but he ended up stuck at the shelter for a month after he was returned by his owner and an adoption fell through at the last minute.Sure, Sir Charles can be a bit unpredictable—he has a strong "alpha" personality and doesn’t always get along with other dogs. He might do okay with mellow dogs or one that can match his high energy. And yes, he’s VERY energetic! He’s also toy possessive and not keen on sharing, so a home with children isn’t ideal for him.Sir Charles has been through a lot and has big feelings to process before he feels completely comfortable. He needs a dedicated owner to help him with training and socialization. With structure and a good routine, he’ll thrive. He’s just like us humans in that way!Estimated to be about four years old, Sir Charles has plenty of time to gain confidence and trust. With the right home and loving care, we’re sure he’ll become the loyal and fun companion you’re looking for. Ready to help Sir Charles shine? Inquire today!

Story
Hi there! My name's Hondo! I was once a wandering soul out there as a stray, and let me tell you, it was a scary world! I ended up at the dog pound, scared and in rough shape with some cuts and scrapes, but thankfully, I found my way to this rescue. Now, I’m all ready to find my forever family, and I can’t wait to meet you!I’m about 6 years old, and while I may have been a little nervous when I first arrived (new things can be a bit scary!), I’ve since found my groove, and my true personality is shining through! I’m sweet, love to cuddle, and I give the best kisses. I may need a bit of time to warm up to new people or environments, but once I do, I’m your loyal buddy!I’m active, too! My foster says I’m full of energy and can keep up with plenty of walks, so an active owner who can take me on daily walks and give me time to play is exactly what I need. I love my walks, and after we go out, I’m always ready to play some more—whether it’s tossing my lambchop toy around or running around the house. I get so much joy from being active! I also walk great on a leash!When it comes to other dogs, I’m a bit more selective. I can be a little overwhelming in large groups or with other dogs that have a different energy than mine, and I’ve stirred the pot a bit at the rescue. I’ve been doing well with other dogs in my foster home, but I think I’d do best as the only dog in my forever home or with a dog that can match my energy level. I’m just a guy who likes things on my own terms sometimes!Another thing to keep in mind is that I’m not the best fit for a home with young children. I can be a little reactive to new people, so a calm, adult home would be ideal for me. I just need a little more space and patience to really feel comfortable in new situations.But, let me tell you, when I’m comfortable, I’m a total sweetie pie. I’m loyal, loving, and full of spunk. I’m also a velcro-pug who loves being near you. I’ll want to curl up on the bed and snuggle as much as I can, and I’ll always be by your side. I’d be perfect for someone who’s retired but loves staying active, or maybe someone who works from home and can give me all the attention I crave. I’ve shown a bit of separation anxiety, so I’ll need a patient family who can help me feel secure when you're away. I’ll need someone who can stick with me while I settle in, especially since I get a little anxious when left alone for long periods.So, if you're looking for a snuggly, active, and super loving buddy who knows exactly what he wants, I'm your guy! Please inquire about me today!Love, Hondo!
