Story
Sweet, spirited, and full of love, Holly is a five-year-old medium mix who is eagerly searching for the perfect family to call her own. With her expressive eyes, velvety coat, and a tail that never seems to stop wagging, she has an incredible knack for brightening even the gloomiest of days. Holly is at that wonderful age where she has matured past the wild puppy phase, yet she still retains a playful zest for life—she is just as happy chasing a ball in the backyard as she is curling up beside you on the couch for a long afternoon nap. Eager to please and deeply loyal, this affectionate girl is ready to bring endless cuddles, laughter, and companionship to a forever home where she can finally plant roots and give all of her big heart away.

Story
This is Saber. She is about 5 years old. She was my son's dog originally but he was unable to care for her so she has been with my husband and I for most of her life. She is a very good and smart dog, however my husband has a disability (muscular dystrophy) and I must start traveling for work so he can't care for her on his own while I'm away. We also have had to keep her separated from our other dog as she gets jealous and it can cause a fight. I hate to think of what could happen if they were in a fight while I was traveling.We have been told she is half GSD and half Malamute but she looks like full GSDShe is a non barker and a great guard dog, loves going on walks and especially loves her spikey squeaker balls. She has so much more potential that we can give her. She is potty trained, can sit, wait, shake and lay down (with coaxing).We would love for her to find a home where she could be part of the family. Run, play and go on walks. I hope that family finds her here.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Nancy (nancy.hemphill@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Hello from Big Red aka Mr Perfect. Red is the most handsome boy weighing in at around 35 pounds. He has a gorgeous red coat, the cutest face and the best personality ever. He is probably around 2 but he is truly an old soul. He is fine with other dogs and cats, in fact, largely ignores them, but his true love is reserved for his people. Red walks well on a leash but would probably do just fine off leash as he has no interest in being anywhere but with his person. Red is completely house trained and crate trained. He travels well in the car and with his compact size would be a wonderful traveling companion. Red is simply a great dog, the best!  LSAR.org  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 31, 2026, 1:51 pm

Story
This is Boomer. He is an extremely sweet and very heathy boy. He will be 3 in March. We have had him since he was a puppy and he is AKC. He has had zero ‘bulldog’ issues as his breeder bred him VERY well. We love him dearly and do not want to rehome him but we have no other choice. There is only one dog he does not get along with and it is our senior male corgi. Other than that he’s very well socialized. He is very shy and loves cats, kids and mostly every other dog. For some reason it is just him and our senior boy who do not get along any more. He is very well kennel trained and extremely active. Don’t let that flat nose fool you. He can out hike and run most humans. He would do good in an active home or a laid back home, as he is fine doing whatever. He is extremely lovable and a giant cuddle bug.
