Story
Candyland is a sweet 6-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix who weighs about 65 pounds. She is house-trained, good with other dogs, and one of the most loving dogs you could meet. She loves cuddling, being close to her people, and feeling like she is part of the family. Rehoming her is not an easy decision, and this is not because she has done anything wrong. Our current living situation does not give her the space, exercise, or attention she truly deserves. Candyland has so much love to give, and we want more than anything to find her a home where she can receive that same love in return. She would do best with someone who has the time to include her in everyday life, take her on walks, let her play, and give her plenty of affection. She deserves a home where she can feel safe, wanted, and loved for the rest of her life. We are looking for the right person or family, not just the quickest option

Story
Shilo (A142174) is a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix who weighed just under 50 pounds on intake! 07/20/26 Shilo was returned to the shelter and is looking for her new home! Although it was originally noted that she does well with cats, Shilo was not a friend of the cat in the home. She was very rough and it was felt that Shilo would do best in a home without cats. It was also noted that she has a rough style of play with other dogs, which is not always appreciated. However, she was said to be friendly with other dogs (just plays rough). Please ensure you are making appropriate introductions to help set her up for success! Shilo had no experience with children in this home, but was stated to do well with strangers and adults! She was described as an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate dog! She was said to be a high energy girl and is looking for a home that will be able to continue to provide her with outlets for her energy! Shilo was said to be housebroken and would stand by the door when she needed to go outside. She is a sweet girl, just looking for that right fit! If you are interested in meeting Shilo, please let us know! 05/18/26 This beautiful pup is Shilo! Shilo was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of her own and was described as an amazing dog! She was said to do fantastically with everyone she meets, including babies and children! Shilo was also said to get along well with other animals including dogs, cats, and even livestock. It is important that appropriate introductions are being made to set her up for success. Shilo was noted to be kennel trained, housebroken, knows her basic commands and loves to go on car rides! Her surrendering owner stated she would make a great travel companion! Shilo would love to find her new family to love and go on adventures with! If you are interested in meeting this sweet girl, please let us know! July 20, 2026, 11:56 pm

Story
In November of 2024 Coalman had a spinal embolism and became partially paralyzed in both rear legs. He has improved greatly and is able to get around on his own. Because he has to focus so much when standing up he at times has accidents. Our son recently went blind and is not able to see the accidents. Plus having to navigate around him complicates matters more. Because of this we are looking to rehome Coalman to a home that can baby him through the remainder of his senior years.

Hello, Our son has gone blind recently and having a dog to navigate around makes his life more difficult. This is not an easy decision, but one we must make. We are hoping to find a loving home for Koa.
