Story
Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!

Meet Oreo: The Adventure Aficionado!If you`re looking for an active adventure buddy who`s always ready for an escapade, Oreo is your gal! This leggy beauty is a true adventurer at heart.

She knows basic commands and loves playing with her squeaky toys. She’ll be proud to show off her skills with any game you present! Snuffle-mats, treat puzzles and sniffaris will keep her senses keen and allow her talents to shine. Oreo has lived with other dogs before and may thrive with an outgoing male dog at home. However, she`d also be happy as the only dog, enjoying occasional playdates with canine friends.Oreo has lived with cats in the past and did well. She`s also lived with children as young as eight years old. We strongly encourage a meet-and-greet with the entire family, including g any dogs, before adoption to ensure it`s a good fit for everyone.Come meet this goofy and adventurous gal! We think you`ll fall in love.

She`s an outdoor enthusiast who loves walks, hikes, and runs. In fact, Kota will make the perfect running buddy! Kota is a big girl who loves to run and explore, so she needs a spacious home where she can really stretch her legs. Her ideal home will be in a quiet, more rural setting.Kota is a sensitive soul who thrives on positive reinforcement training. She`s already made amazing progress here, and we`re excited to see her continue to blossom in her new home.Kota has previously done well in a crate when left alone. She loves car rides and is eager to learn new things.Kota is looking for a home where she can be the only pet. She`ll do best with teens or older children who have experience with large, active dogs.

Story
Meet Avril! Weight: 44 lbs This sweet gal is ready to find her forever family, Avril came into us as a stray after being found by our local police department. Avril quickly became best friends with everyone here, both human and animal - no one is a stranger! Avril is quick to say hello to visitors here at the shelter and loves to go for walks. We believe her to have some sort of hound in her as she LOVES to use her nose, and also LOVES to use her voice. Avril has met some dog friends here, and we`d like Avril to meet any potential canine siblings she would live with before going home, we also ask that the whole family tags alongs, kiddos (or frequent kiddo visitors included!) As for feline friends, dog-savvy felines who have lived with dogs would be the best fit, she may be a little overwhelming for felines who have never been lived with dogs! Please come in and meet this sweet gal if you think she`d be a good addition to your home!
