Featured Available Dogs

  • Flame more than earned her Golden years raising puppies, but her reward was being discarded. This six-year-old, sugar-faced girl has nothing but love in her heart. Easy, affectionate, and gentle with good house manners, she will make someone a prize companion.
  • A busy, fun-seeking girl, two-year-old Bella is always up for a good time! A training work-in-progress who needs regular exercise, she will thrive in the care of dog-skilled people who know how to transform a bouncy teenager into a responsible canine citizen!
  • Brought to the shelter when his human passed, six-year-old Thor is as sweet and easy as he is grateful for a second chance. With good house manners, a gentle walker, and a love, he’ll happily give his whole heart to you.
  • Two-year-old Scotty was too busy playing to be a good breeder dog. Lucky him! He is looking forward to living inside and learning about the life of a loved family dog. A blank slate, he needs everything but will happily bring the party that makes it all worthwhile.
  • A once-breeding boy whose life in the pack was lived outdoors. Shy-at-first, three-year-old Arlie warms up quickly and will thrive in a home where he gets the time, attention, training, and love this fun and affectionate boy deserves.
  • Much loved but in need of more time and attention than his family could give, four-year-old Tango has lived with dogs, cats and kids. Choosy about his dog friends (girls preferred), he’s all in when it comes to water, car rides, and adventures!
  • Aptly named, Colt is a long-legged young boy with pony-like enthusiasm! Sweet and friendly he wants to be a friend to all. Add time, attention, and training to unleash his full potential!
  • A fun, adventurous and playful girl, one-year-old Hazel is always up for a good time. Respect and seek positive training support for her what’s-mine-is-mine behavior to help her reach her full potential.
  • Cowboy is a gentleman and a scholar, ready to ride into his next chapter after a change at his last home. A five-year-old Lab and Husky mix with a nose for adventure, he will thrive with easygoing, active people who want a well-mannered partner for trails, campfires, and quiet evenings on the couch.
  • Lucky is a big, happy goofball whose family ran short on time, and he is ready to make the most of someone else's. With his tail on permanent wag and his education still on the to-do list, he will thrive with active people who see a lesson in every walk and a reward in every snack.
  • Lani turned up as a stray in the Central Valley but is putting that behind her and is finding the good in people. Eager to please, she is opening up with the help of her foster siblings and will blossom with patient people to help her complete her transformation.
  • A fetch champion who walks politely on leash and rolls in every patch of grass he can find, three-year-old Louie wants an active family where he can be the one and only dog in the spotlight.
