Story
Scallop is a Akbash mix, almost 4 years old. She has been great with my four kids ages 6 to 16 & my male lab mix, but cannot seem to get along with my female Frenchie. She has shown signs of dog aggression, so would need to go to someone with experience in this field. She is incredibly sweet with humans, but has been very hard to train, she loves to roam the perimeter and it is an escape artist. She needs tons of space, exercise and stimulation. I will not rehome Scallop without meeting the entire family and visiting the house where she is going g to live.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.We see so many dogs being given away for free on FB, Toby was one of them. Fortunately for him we were able to find a foster to take him. He was scheduled to be neutered just 2 days after getting to his foster home but once there it was found that he was too sick to have any kind of surgery. Toby was full of worms and parasites! Poor guy.  He's spent the last couple of weeks on meds getting healthy, will be getting his shots and once healthy enough will be neutered and ready for his forever home.  This stunning blue eyed boy is a love! Great with other dogs and adores all people. Just no chickens for this floof! ;) His foster mom has been working with him on his walks, up until now he hasn't had much experience with that. He's also afraid of loud noises. That includes loud kiddos, squeaker toys, and other loud barking dogs. He's adjusting well to his foster home though and could be he just needs a few weeks to settle in. We'll know more soon so check back!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2024, 4:10 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Albi was almost euthanized for just doing his job, being a protector. This boy needs a home where his dedication will be appreciated, he takes his job seriously!  Albi enjoys his time on the couch but is also a great patroller! He's very protective of his space and you will be incredibly safe with this boy on duty! He loves his walks and is learning not to pull so much. He could potentially live with cats but needs very slow intros and will chase those that run. He is good with other dogs with proper intros. He needs to live far from a road, he doesn't like cars and will chase, his foster mom is working with him on that. Albi has been in his foster home for over a year now and his foster mom knows him very well. He has bonded very closely with our girl Savannah and we are looking for an adopter who will take the 2 of them together.  Albi has been working on his food aggression for some time and has made improvements but it's still best to feed separately. This boy is a true guardian, he wants to protect his people and his property. He and Savannah are a great pair and will be a great addition for just the right home!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 8, 2025, 2:00 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sokka came to our rescue when he was taken to the shelter after being found left in an apartment alone for 10 days. In spite of that he was incredibly sweet, loved everyone he met and was happy to play with some doggy friends in his foster home. When his foster family had additional family with their own dogs moving into their home, it was time for Sokka to find a new foster home. His new foster mom quickly fell for him and there was talk of foster failing. Things changed for Sokka, who had been renamed Owen, when he protected his mom from a dog attack, he took his job seriously and kept her safe but by doing so it affected him, mentally, and he hasn't been the same boy since. Owen's foster mom now feels he'd do better in a different home so we are now looking for a very special place for him. The boy who used to love doggy friends now seems to be very scared and unsure. The boy who never met a person he didn't instantly love, is now very cautious and fearful. So we are looking for a quiet, low key home for Owen where he can learn to trust, feel safe again. Have a backyard to soak up the sun, or the snow. Also a very committed foster or adopter who will work consistently with our behaviorist to help Owen through the trauma he experienced. This is no small ask we know. But he deserves nothing less!

Story
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a pet cloud the size of a small horse? Meet Sarge. Sarge is the picture of calm confidence. A big, fluffy boy who doesn’t need much to be happy. True to his Great Pyrenees nature, he carries himself with a quiet dignity, content to simply be near those he loves. His presence is peaceful, his demeanor unshakable, and his loyalty unmatched. Sarge spent his visit simply existing and being beautiful, which, honestly, is more than enough. With his soft coat, steady eyes, and lazy-boy energy, he gave off the kind of peace that makes you want to slow down and sit beside him awhile. He didn’t seek the spotlight, but his gentle nature drew everyone in. We truly believe that Sarge is predominantly Great Pyrenees and about 2 years old. He gives off every inclination in demeanor and appearance that would lead to us making that assumption. But due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our best guesses and cannot be guaranteed. Observe the majesty of Sarge in the video below! https://youtu.be/104LjejdWWA He doesn’t rush to meet the world; instead, he watches it kindly, like a gentle guardian keeping quiet watch over his little corner. When he met our other doggies, he didn’t rush in a frenzy to get to know them. He just sniffed to gather the information he needed to know and let them be themselves as he stood watch. He would be a great addition to a pack of medium energy pups or equally as great being your one and only! With children, Sarge keeps that calm and steady attitude. He met our friend’s Kobe (4) and Cash (7) and allowed them to touch all over his face as the children were amazed at the glory of his big head. We believe that Sarge would be a great addition to a family with children due to his gentle nature. Even cats didn’t cause Sarge to break that steadfast character of his. Our housecat Biggie roamed the room as Sarge honestly just watched him with looks of approval. Sarge understands that all living things are to be respected and would be okay living in a home with dog savvy feline companions. As a true Pyrenees, Sarge needs space to stretch out, roam, and do his quiet patrolling. Apartment life wouldn’t suit him, he thrives in a home with a yard or land where he can move at his own pace. He’s not looking to run laps, but he does appreciate the freedom to explore and lounge under the open sky. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend who brings calm to your chaos and comfort to your home, Sarge may be your perfect match. Is Sarge the missing piece of your family?

Story
Let me introduce you to the type of dog that feels like he has always been yours. Familiar, warm, a gentle soul we call Camo. He’s a guy with calm presence and a set of warm eyes that say, "tell me all about it, I’m here to listen.” Camo greets familiar people just the same as “strangers,” warm, wiggly, and genuinely welcoming. The best part is that despite his size, nothing about his approach is overwhelming, he understands his size and doesn’t use it to push his way into your attention. Take a look at this boy then come back to read more -https://youtu.be/NirsvWgi-4k The very first day we met Camo he amazed us, there wasn’t a single thing he didn’t do well by our standards.. He was incredibly sweet with people but also showed great dog-to-dog skills. He’s playful, confident, and good at "reading the room" with other dogs- knowing when to chase and when to chill. Plus, he has great leash skills, sure he gets excited for a moment about going on a walk with you but within a few minutes he settles in to an easy pace. Camo’s very first dog interaction was polite and friendly. He stood almost two times taller than her an almost like he wanted her to know he was sweet, he adorably licked her head right away. As he was introduced to more dogs his playful side really came out but only with the dogs that invited it and matched his energy, he wasn’t as playful with more reserved dogs. That is a wonderful skill in a dog! With an extremely playful female, he was eager to play. Because of this, we think Camo would do best with a goofy and fun-loving female playmate. He is even a perfect doggie-day-care boy,— he has the right social skills and temperament for a group setting. Camo reminds me of a lovable little brother — always ready for an adventure with you and just happy to be invited. He would be a wonderful family dog just as easily as the dream wing-man to a single someone. He’s gentle enough not to overwhelm people and seems like he would absolutely love kids. Based on everything we’ve seen, he has that playful, affectionate energy that would make him a fantastic family dog. An ideal home would be a house with a yard over an apartment. While he is a pretty chill guy overall, he does have bursts of energy and playfulness that a backyard would help channel. He has potential for suburban or more rural life, but he’s probably not cut out for the hustle and bustle of a busy city environment. And as much as he is friendly and fun-loving, when he met our house cat he thought he was making a new friend but because of his size, he ended up just scaring him. His love of chase will not be matched by a feline friend so a kitty-free home will be best for him. Physically, Camo's demeanor and look lead us to believe he is an Anatolian Shepherd mix, approximately 1 year old. He currently weighs 51 lbs — a number that surprised us given his long legs (turns out a lot of it is fluff!). Breed and age are estimates, he is a rescue after all but he is essentially at his full-grown size — that perfect midsize dog if you as me! Camo is ready to bring his friendly, fun-loving adventurous spirit into your world. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who can keep up with your adventures but also settle in for some quiet snuggles, Camo might just be your perfect match. Looks, charm, playfulness, and a sweet, steady heart — that’s Camo, and he’s ready to be your guy! Questions?
