Story
Meet Luna & Norman!- Please apply only as are not currently viewable Luna and Norman are a sweet, deeply bonded pair looking for a forever home together. These two are very attached to one another and are happiest side by side.Both are crate trained and have loving, affectionate personalities. Luna is a little more vocal and may bark at strangers, while Norman can be reactive toward larger dogs. They are not suitable for homes with cats or other dogs and would do best as the only pets.Neither has had experience walking on leash, so their new family will need to patiently introduce and teach them this skill. They will also need continued help with housetraining as they settle into their new home.If you`re looking for two loving little companions who can keep each other company and share their lives with you, Luna and Norman may be the perfect duo! Luna will be FTA (Foster-To-Adopt) until her spay surgery. This means you can take her home in the meantime, bring her back for her surgery date, and finalize the adoption after!

Meet Waylen!- Not currently viewable so please apply online-Waylen is a charming adult dog with a zest for life! Smart, curious, sweet, and full of energy, he loves exploring, learning, and showing off his tricks. He knows sit, paw, lie down, and roll over, and would love an adopter who enjoys training and can keep his clever mind busy with treat puzzles and other enrichment activities.Waylen is a high-energy boy who will thrive with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and an owner familiar with energetic breeds. He will need to be the only pet and have no small children in his new home, as he prefers not to share his attention. He may also resource guard, so his adopters will need to be mindful and prepared to manage this behavior with patience and positive training. Waylen is also on a special urinary diet that will need to be continued in his forever home.This sweet, smart, and energetic boy is looking for an active forever home where he can stay busy, continue learning, and let his wonderful personality shine!

Meet Betty Boop! - Please apply online as it not currently viewableBetty Boop is a sweet, timid girl who may take a little time to feel comfortable, but once she does, she’ll be your very best friend! This lovable lady is a true Velcro dog who loves being close to her people and will happily stick by your side.Betty has lived with young children, but because she can be a little rambunctious, she would likely be happiest with older, respectful kids who can give her space when needed. She has lived with cats but does enjoy chasing them, so a cat-free home would likely be the best fit.Betty has been walked on a leash and collar and is partially housetrained, so her new family should be prepared to continue helping her build those skills. She can also be sensitive to changes in her diet, so keeping her meals consistent will be important.Betty has been described as good with other dogs but any canine friendships should be introduced slowly and thoughtfully.Betty can be a little more hesitant around men and unsure of strangers so she may need some patience and gentle introductions with new people. Overall, though, she is a very sweet girl who is looking for someone who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to blossom. Once she trusts you, expect a loving little shadow who just wants to be by your side!Betty Boop will be FTA (Foster-To-Adopt) until her spay surgery. This means you can take her home in the meantime, bring her back for her surgery date, and finalize the adoption after!

Story
Meet Enzo! Enzo is a big, energetic boy with a whole lot of personality! He’s used to having lots of space to roam and would love a home where he can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to burn off his energy.Enzo has lived with a cat and did well, and he has also lived with young children. He can get the zoomies and become a little rambunctious, especially when he’s outside, so older or dog-savvy children may be the best fit.He has socialized with other dogs and has done well, particularly with other high-energy dogs, although he hasn’t had regular opportunities to interact with them. Slow, appropriate introductions would be best.Enzo is housetrained, but he is not crate trained and is not accustomed to walking on a leash. He is a strong boy who will need some time, patience, and positive training to learn good leash manners.When he’s ready to relax, Enzo has one important request: blankets! He absolutely loves curling up with them. He’s not a big fan of stairs, so a home with minimal stairs may be more comfortable for him.Enzo is eating well and has been enjoying his regular dry food. If you’re looking for an active, playful companion with plenty of love and personality to share, Enzo may be your guy!Enzo will be FTA (Foster-To-Adopt) until his neuter surgery. This means you can take him home in the meantime, bring him back for his surgery date, and finalize the adoption after!

Meet Copper!- Not viewable- please apply onlineThis handsome hound mix is a food-motivated fellow who is always ready to work for a tasty treat! Copper is still learning the ropes and would benefit from a patient family who can help him build his confidence and learn his basic manners.Copper is a rambunctious and energetic guy, so he would be best suited to a home with older children who are comfortable around a bigger, enthusiastic dog. He has a strong instinct to chase cats and would do best in a cat-free home. Copper also hasn’t had much regular socialization with other dogs, so any future canine friendships should be introduced slowly and thoughtfully.Copper hasn’t had much experience with regular leash walks, so his new family should be prepared to help him learn this skill from the ground up. With patience, consistency, and plenty of treats, Copper is ready to become a wonderful companion and show you just how much he can learn!Copper will be FTA (Foster-To-Adopt) until his neuter surgery. This means you can take him home in the meantime, bring him back for his surgery date, and finalize the adoption after!
