AMELIA WREN
(Posted 6/18/2026)
Female - 1.5 Years Old - Mixed Breed
Meet Amelia Wren🩷
At just 1½ years old, Amelia Wren is a sweet, happy-go-lucky girl who is ready to find a family to call her own.
Amelia came to us after her owner became ill and was no longer able to care for her. Despite the changes in her life, Amelia has remained a bright little ball of sunshine. She absolutely loves people and attention and is always ready to hand out kisses to anyone willing to accept them.
This affectionate girl previously lived with other dogs and did very well with her canine companions. She enjoys being around people and would love a home where she can be included in the fun. Based on her friendly and social personality, we believe Amelia would likely do well with children.
Amelia has shown quite a bit of interest in cats while in our care, so any potential feline siblings should be introduced carefully. At this time, a cat-free home may be the best fit unless adopters are experienced with slow, structured introductions.
Amelia's past may have changed, but her sweet spirit hasn't. She's ready to start her next chapter with a family who will love her as much as she'll love them. ❤️🐶 -
MAPLE
(Posted 8/30/2026)
Female - 1.5 Years Old - Coon Hound
🍁 Meet Maple!
Maple is the kind of dog who needs a little time to show you just how special she is. At just one year old, this sweet hound girl is still learning that the world isn't quite as scary as she thinks it is. New people can be very intimidating to Maple, and she can be a little unsure of her surroundings. But she's making progress every day, and underneath that nervous exterior is the sweetest, goofiest little girl.
Once Maple starts to feel safe, her personality really begins to shine. She loves to play, has a wonderfully silly side, and is happiest when she can let loose and just be a dog. She gets along well with other dogs and absolutely loves children. She's even done okay with cats, although she was definitely interested in hers, so any feline introductions should be slow, careful, and supervised.
Maple is looking for someone who understands that confidence doesn't happen overnight. She'll need a patient family willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace and show her that new people, new places, and new experiences can be good things. In return, you'll get to watch a scared little hound blossom into the happy, playful companion we know she can be—and there may be no better feeling than earning the trust of a dog like Maple. ❤️
And because she's a hound, her adopters should also be prepared for her to have a voice! Hounds were bred to track and communicate with their people, and that signature baying is very much part of the package. Maple isn't going to be the quietest girl on the block, but honestly... we'd be disappointed if she were. 😂
Oh, and if you're wondering how to win Maple over? A pup cup certainly wouldn't hurt. 🥹🍦
Maple would do best with a patient, loving family who will give her the time and encouragement she needs to build confidence. She's got so much love and silliness waiting underneath that nervous little exterior—we just need to find the person willing to wait for her to let it out. ❤️

DOTTIE
(Posted 8/30/2026)
Female - 3.5 Years Old - Pitty Mix
🐾 Meet Dottie!
Dottie is one of those dogs who makes you wonder how anyone could have ever let her down. This sweet Pit Bull mix has already had quite the journey, but through it all, she has remained a loving, happy, and wonderfully affectionate girl.
Dottie's story with us actually began when we found her living in an abandoned house right across the street from the Rescue. After getting her safely into our care, Dottie quickly showed us what a sweetheart she is. She loves people, loves attention, and is always ready for some fun. She's playful, affectionate, and an absolute joy to take for a walk—she walks beautifully on a leash!
Dottie was adopted a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, she was later picked up as a stray by our local Dog Warden and made her way back to us. While we were certainly heartbroken to see her again, we're choosing to believe that her perfect family is still out there waiting for her. ❤️
For now, Dottie is looking for a home where she can be the only pet. She has not yet been fully dog-tested, so we're still learning more about how she feels about canine friends. Based on her behavior so far, we don't believe she's a great match for a home with cats. We'll continue getting to know her and will update her profile as we learn more.
What Dottie does know for sure is that she loves her people. She loves to play, she loves going for walks, and she loves being around the humans she trusts. She's the kind of dog who doesn't need anything fancy—just a safe home, a comfy bed, someone to take her on adventures, and a family who will choose her for good this time.
Dottie has already had to start over more than once. Now we're looking for her forever. ❤️
Dottie is hoping for a family who will give her the love, stability, and commitment she deserves—and never make her wonder where she's going to sleep tomorrow.

NICO
(Posted 8/30/2026)
Male - 2.5 Years Old - Husky
🐺 Meet Nico!
Nico is a handsome 2½-year-old Husky who is still getting settled in and showing us who he is! He's only been with us for a few days, but so far, this goofy boy has been nothing but sweet.
Nico came to us when his previous family could no longer keep him due to allergies. His former owner told us that he did well with both other animals and children, and we're looking forward to getting to know him better and seeing that silly Husky personality come out as he becomes more comfortable.
So far, Nico has been a sweet, playful, goofy guy who seems to be happy to make new friends. He's still getting used to his new surroundings, so there's plenty more for us to learn about him! We'll be spending time getting to know his personality, preferences, and what kind of home will make him happiest.
As with any Husky, Nico's future family should be prepared for an energetic, intelligent dog who will need plenty of exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to use that busy Husky brain. He's the kind of guy who will probably keep you laughing—and occasionally wondering exactly what he was thinking. 😂
Nico is not quite ready to go home just yet. He still needs to be evaluated by our veterinary team and neutered before he's available for adoption. He's also currently dealing with some less-than-stellar poops 💩, so we're working on getting his tummy sorted out before he heads off to his forever home.
Nico is just getting started on his journey with us, and we're excited to watch his personality unfold. If you're looking for a goofy Husky boy to fill your home with love, laughter, and probably a concerning amount of fur, Nico might just be your guy. ❤️🐾
More updates will come as we get to know him!

KODI
(Posted 9/1/2026)
Female - 7 Months Old - Great Pyrenees Mix
🍁 Meet Kodi!
Kodi came in with her brother Kolt after their owner could no longer care for them. Kodi and Kolt came in on 8/30, so we're still learning about them and their personality! So far, they appear to be happy, healthy, energetic pups!

KOLT- ADOPTION PENDING!!
(Posted 9/1/2026)
Male - 7 Months Old - Great Pyrenees Mix
🍁 Meet Kolt!
Kolt came in with his sister Kodi after their owner could no longer care for them. Kodi and Kolt came in on 8/30, so we're still learning about them and their personality! So far, they appear to be happy, healthy, energetic pups!

WUBBA- ADOPTED 8/24!!!
(Posted 8/2/2026)
Male - 1.5 Years Old - Alaskan Malamute
Meet Wubba! 🐾
Wubba may have lost his home when his owner moved into a memory care facility, but this young guy hasn't let that dampen his spirit. Full of energy, personality, and enough enthusiasm to keep you on your toes, Wubba is always ready for his next adventure!
This spunky pup loves people and thrives on attention. Whether he's running around the yard, playing with his favorite humans, or simply soaking up all the love he can get, Wubba lives life to the fullest. He's currently working with our trainers on his manners, as he can get a little jumpy and mouthy when he's excited. Because of this, we'd recommend a home without small children.
Wubba is looking for a family that can match his energy and continue helping him become the best version of himself. He'd also prefer to be the only pet in the home—Wubba firmly believes that he deserves all the love and attention for himself! 😉
If you're searching for a fun-loving, affectionate companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Wubba might just be your perfect match. ❤️🐶

SARGIE (BONDED)- ADOPTED 8/11!!
(Posted 5/15/2026)
Male - 7 Years Old - Toy Fox Terrier
Meet Sargie 💙
Sargie is about 7 years old and packed full of personality, opinions, and enough spunky energy to keep life interesting.
He came to us with two other dogs after their owner sadly passed away, and while he’s been through a lot of change lately, he’s still showing up every day ready to party.
This guy has thoughts and he is not afraid to share them. Whether he’s chatting about dinner, demanding attention, or announcing his arrival to the room, Sargie likes to keep the conversation going. He’s energetic, goofy, and has the kind of larger-than-life personality that makes you laugh even when he’s being a tiny bit dramatic.
Sargie has a few lumps and bumps that come with age, but they’ve been checked out and don’t impact his health or quality of life whatsoever. He’s just a little lumpy. . . Which honestly, just adds character. He also needs a dental, which we’ll be taking care of for him.
Most importantly, Sargie is very bonded with Twiggie and we would love to see them find a home together. She brings the sweet gentle cuddles, he brings the comic relief and chaos. A perfect duo, really. ❤️ -
TWIGGY (BONDED)- ADOPTED 8/11!!
(Posted 5/15/2026)
Female - 10 Years Old - Toy Fox Terrier
Meet Twiggie 🩷
This dainty little lady is around 10 years old and proof that the sweetest souls sometimes come in the tiniest packages!
Twiggie came to us alongside two other dogs after their owner sadly passed away, and while life has changed a lot for her lately, she’s handling it with gentle grace.
Twiggie would love to find a home with her “brother” Sargie, as the two are very bonded and bring each other comfort and confidence. She’s a laid-back cuddle bug who lives for soft blankets, warm laps, and quiet companionship, but don’t let her age fool you entirely. Every now and then this little grandma gets a burst of energy and zips around like she’s late for an important meeting.
Twiggie does need a dental, which we’ll be taking care of for her, so she’ll be ready to flash her refreshed smile at her future family soon. 💕
If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion (or better yet, a matching set), Twiggie may be your girl. -
PIGEON- ADOPTED 8/10!
(Posted 8/2/2026)
Male - 4 Years Old - Some sort of Doodle?
Meet Pigeon! ❤️
Pigeon came to us after life with his former feline roommate became a little too rough. After being picked on by the resident cat, it's understandable that he's a bit unsure around other animals these days. While he's still figuring out how he feels about cats (He's scared of them) and doesn't seem particularly interested in making dog friends, one thing is certain: he absolutely adores people.
This sweet boy is as gentle as they come. Pigeon lives for affection and would happily spend his entire day curled up in your lap, soaking up every bit of love and attention you're willing to give. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working from home, or just moving from room to room, Pigeon wants nothing more than to be by your side.
With his calm, loving personality, Pigeon would make a wonderful companion for a family with children. He's simply a good boy through and through—the kind of dog who makes every house feel a little more like home.
If you're looking for a loyal shadow, a professional cuddle buddy, and a best friend wrapped up in one adorable package, Pigeon might just be your perfect match. 🐾💕

GUNNER- ADOPTED 8/9!
(Posted 8/4/2026)
Male - 4 Years Old - English Bulldog
Meet Gunner! 🥔❤️🐾
If you've ever dreamed of sharing your home with a snoring, cuddly potato who believes personal space is optional, allow us to introduce Gunner.
Gunner is a 4-year-old English Bulldog with a heart as big as his adorable, squishy head. He's the definition of a couch companion: happiest when he's soaking up attention, snuggled up beside his favorite people, or enjoying a short game of fetch before deciding that nap time sounds much more appealing.
Like many bulldogs, Gunner comes with some special considerations, and we strongly encourage anyone interested in adopting him to thoroughly research the breed and the unique challenges that can come with bulldog ownership. Gunner was cryptorchid and experiences chronic skin allergies and ear infections that will require regular maintenance to keep his skin, coat, and ears healthy and comfortable. His future family should be prepared to stay on top of his care and work closely with their veterinarian to ensure he stays feeling his best.
Gunner also resource guards his food bowl, so we're recommending a home without small children or other pets. He would thrive in a calm environment where he can relax, soak up all the love, and enjoy being the center of attention.
Despite his medical needs, Gunner doesn't let anything get in the way of being his wonderfully goofy self. He's affectionate, easygoing, and always ready for a cuddle session. He may only have a few rounds of fetch in him before he needs a break, but what Gunner lacks in stamina, he more than makes up for in personality.
At the end of the day, Gunner is exactly what every bulldog fan dreams of: a sweet, happy, delightfully chunky potato looking for a family to call his own. Could your couch be the one he's been waiting for? 🥔❤️🐶

SIMON-ADOPTED 8/8!
(Posted 8/4/2026)
Male - 11 Months Old - Medium Mix Breed
Meet Simon! 🤍🐾
At just 11 months old and 35 pounds, Simon is the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and world-class cuddle skills. This handsome French Bulldog/Poodle mix also happens to be a double merle, which means he was born with some extra challenges—Simon is deaf and has microphthalmia in his left eye. But if you ask Simon, those are just tiny details in an otherwise very exciting life.
Don't let his vision and hearing differences fool you: Simon doesn't let anything slow him down. He's full of personality, curiosity, and enough energy to keep everyone on their toes. Whether he's chasing after a ball in an epic game of fetch or proudly showing off his favorite blue rope during tug-of-war, Simon approaches every day with pure joy.
This smart boy is already excelling in his training and has been mastering hand signals like a pro. He's eager to learn, loves to please his people, and thrives when given guidance and encouragement. After a long day of playing, Simon transforms into an expert cuddle bug who's happiest curled up beside the people he loves.
Simon appears to do well with other dogs and cats, and he'd likely thrive in a home with older children who can match his enthusiasm and understand that he's still very much a rambunctious young pup.
Simon may experience the world a little differently, but he doesn't need anyone's sympathy—just a family that's ready to embrace his adventurous spirit, celebrate his victories, and love him for the incredible dog he is. In return, he'll give you endless affection, unwavering loyalty, and a lifetime of unforgettable moments. ❤️🐶
