Story
Meet Izzy! ❤️Izzy is a beautiful medium-sized, wire-haired mixed breed with a gentle heart and soulful eyes. She arrived at the shelter just a few days ago alongside what appears to be her sister, Ava. The two girls came to us as strays from another area of Montana, and while we don't know what their lives were like before, we do know they deserve a future filled with love, comfort, and a family to call their own.Izzy is still settling in and learning that she's safe. She's a little reserved at first, but we're confident her true personality is just waiting to blossom in the right home. Both Izzy and Ava have been incredibly calm, gentle, and sweet during their time with us.So far, Izzy has shown that she enjoys her daily walks and being brushed. Those quiet moments help her relax and build trust, and they're sure to become a favorite part of her day.Izzy is looking for a patient, understanding family that will give her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell at her own pace. Whether she finds a home of her own or gets the chance to be adopted alongside Ava, our greatest wish is for her next chapter to be filled with kindness, security, and unconditional love.If you believe that the best friendships are built on patience, trust, and gentle encouragement, Izzy may be the perfect companion for you. We can't wait to see this sweet girl's true personality shine. Primary Color: Black Weight: 51.4375 Age: 3yrs 0mths 0wks

She seems eager to connect with people and is ready to share her loving heart with a family who will cherish her.Whether Ava finds a home of her own or gets the chance to be adopted alongside Izzy, our greatest wish is for her next chapter to be one filled with kindness, security, and the love she's always deserved.If you're looking for a loyal companion with a calm spirit, a sweet personality, and plenty of love to give, Ava may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Meet Tippy! This sweet old girl was recently surrendered to us due to her owner’s health issues. We are now looking for the perfect home for her to spend the rest of her days in! Tippy is an 11 year old Chihuahua, about 8 lbs, and has a darling personality. She loves to receive pets and does well with cats, children, and all different types of farm animals. While she prefers hanging out with humans over other dogs, she is not aggressive towards dogs and does just fine with them. Miss Tippy is not shy but would prefer to go to a quiet and calm house where she can be your couch buddy! Do you have the perfect home for this girl? She truly deserves to live her senior years with a loving family. Tippy will leave up to date on vaccinations and microchipped, and her adoption fee is $150 or a donation of choice. If interested in Tippy, please submit an adoption application at the top of the page. Once filled out and submitted, our team will review and reach out with the next steps!

Story
He's very sweet boy, he is house trained but if there are other male dogs in the house he does mark. Good with kids, but as he's getting older he does better with older children. Up to date on vaccines and does great on hikes or a day in for snuggles. Hoping to find a home that is loving and caring!

Story
Kiva is a great little house dog. She loves sleeping with you, sitting with you or on your lap. Once she becomes attached to you, you are her person. She has separation anxiety but if she has time to get comfortable with you and your environment she wont tend to stick to you like glue as much. She can get used to kids, cats and dogs but takes her a while to adjust due to nervousness. She gets upset in her crate, i will put her in there whenever i leave the house and she will bark for a short period of time but i always find her asleep when i come home. She needs a home that is patient with her and doesn’t mind her crate struggles. She can be playful, loves adventures. Crates, toys etc will be given upon adoption
