Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Winston Henry  This adorable 2-year-old Schnauzer mix is 25 pounds of fun, energy, and personality! He loves being around people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always ready for his next adventure. He’s crate trained, potty trained, and isn’t shy about letting you know when he needs to go outside. He’s quite the little conversationalist and loves to “talk back,” which only adds to his charm! When playtime is over, he’ll happily come over for cuddles on his own terms. He hasn’t met cats or children yet, so slow introductions are recommended. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who will keep you laughing and make every day more fun, this handsome guy is ready to meet you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Sgaeyl!  Sgaeyl is a beautiful 7-month-old traditional tricolor German Shepherd who is on the smaller side and may stay around 50–60 pounds full-grown. She is kennel trained, house trained, uses a dog door, and is doing well with leash walking—although she seems to think weaving in and out of your legs is the best way to walk.  Sgaeyl loves chasing bugs in the backyard, running after the other dogs during fetch, and playing with her canine friends. She isn’t particularly interested in toys, but she does have a special appreciation for a good pair of shoes.  She absolutely loves other dogs and would likely enjoy having a confident canine companion in her forever home. She doesn’t seem particularly interested in cats and is more likely to be a little intimidated by them. Sgaeyl is still building her confidence and has shown that she can feel unsure around younger children. Because of this, a home with older, respectful children may be the best fit for her. I would say children 12 and older.  Once she warms up and feels comfortable, her sweet personality really begins to shine. She is a gentle, loving girl who just needs a little patience, encouragement, and time to become the confident dog she’s meant to be.  Sgaeyl is looking for a forever family who will continue helping her build confidence while giving her all the love she deserves.    Apply today at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 4:44 pm
