SPIKE
(Posted 11/20/25)
2.5 years old • 75 lb • Pit Bull Mix
Spike is a big-hearted boy with an equally big personality — and he’s looking for someone experienced who can help him continue the progress he’s already making. He’s currently one of our behavior-focus dogs, and while he absolutely adores the people he knows well, meeting new people can feel overwhelming for him. Because of this, he needs a thoughtful, confident adopter who understands canine body language and is willing to continue his training plan.
Spike has been professionally evaluated at Zoom Room and works weekly with Alexa from Pumpkin Paws Dog Training. Both trainers see tremendous potential in him. He’s very food-motivated, has been excelling with his muzzle-training, and is steadily learning to trust and warm up to more people. With structure, patience, and consistency, Spike truly shines.
Spike will do best in a child-free home as the only pet, where his person can give him calm guidance and help him feel safe. He thrives with routine and responds beautifully to clear expectations.
For those he trusts, Spike is the sweetest, goofiest, most affectionate companion — the kind of dog who makes you laugh every single day. Despite his challenges, he’s a staff favorite at the rescue, and whoever adopts him will gain an incredibly loyal, loving friend. -
FINA
(Posted 2/22/2026)
Female - 4.5 Years - Pitty Mix
Meet Fina ✨
If you’re looking for a dog who truly matches your energy, Fina is your girl.
Want to wrestle, roughhouse, and have a backyard play session? She’s all in.
Want to curl up on the couch for belly rubs and a cozy night? She’s already there waiting. 🐾💕
At 5 years old, Fina has the perfect balance of playful spirit and mature companionship. She adjusts beautifully to the vibe of her people and just wants to be part of whatever you’re doing.
Even better? Fina gets along with cats, kids, and other dogs — making her an easy addition to many different types of homes.
She came to us through no fault of her own after her previous owner moved somewhere that did not allow her breed. Now she’s just waiting for a family who will love her for the amazing girl she is.
Fina is loyal, loving, and ready to be someone’s whole heart. Come meet her — she might just be your perfect match. ❤️🐶 -
CASHMERE
(Posted 2/08/2026)
Female - 1.5 Years old - Mixed Breed (Medium)
Meet Cashmere 🤍
Cashmere is a 1.5-year-old, all-white Pitty mix with a soft heart and a gentle soul. She came to us after her person had to move to a place that doesn’t allow dogs—a change that was no fault of her own.
She can be shy when meeting new people, but with patience, kindness, and a few tasty treats, she blossoms into a calm, sweet, and affectionate companion. Once she feels safe, Cashmere shows just how loving and laid-back she truly is.
Cashmere is not a fan of the snow and cold weather we’ve been having and would much prefer a warm, cozy spot to curl up in. She is scheduled to be spayed on February 12th and will be dog- and cat-tested after her recovery.
Because of her gentle nature, we believe she would do well with children. She is currently strong on the leash but is making excellent progress with her training and improving every day.
Cashmere is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time and reassurance she needs—and in return, she’ll give quiet loyalty and endless love.

MR. MAVERICK and PENNY - Adoption Pending!
(Posted 1/22/2026)
Mr. Maverick(left): Male - 9 Years - Chihuahua
Ms.Penny(right): Female - 10 Years - Chihuahua
Bonded Pair
Meet Mr. Maverick & Ms. Penny 🐾
Mr. Maverick and Ms. Penny are a bonded pair of senior Chihuahuas looking for a cozy forever home together. They came to us after their owner became ill and could no longer care for them, and they’ve been nothing but gentle little loves ever since.
These two are sweet, laid-back cuddle bugs who get along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids. Their favorite activities include napping, snacking, and soaking up all the affection they can get. They would thrive in a low-activity, chill household where they can enjoy their golden years in comfort.
Penny does have a benign growth on her back leg that does not affect her happy, easygoing lifestyle.
Mr. Maverick and Ms. Penny are currently in foster care and are available to visit by appointment only. Because they are deeply bonded, they must be adopted together.
If you’re looking for double the love in a tiny, senior-sized package, these two might be your perfect match 🐶💗
