Featured Available Dogs

  • With a forgiving heart and a briefcase packed with updated training, River is ready to put his past in the rear-view mirror and move forward with hope and devotion. Smart and eager to please, River seeks a dog-experienced human and loving companion to help him chart his next course.
  • Bruno needs about twenty minutes to trust you, and then you're his for good. He's easygoing with other dogs, great with most kids, and just waiting for someone patient enough to earn that first head-on-the-leg moment.
  • At ten, Buster still thinks he's a puppy. He lives life full speed ahead with leash manners still a work in progress. This car-ride-loving, stuffie-hoarding senior has serious size and even bigger enthusiasm. He just needs a confident handler to help him put it all together.
  • Paige showed up as a scared stray with her sister Payton by her side. She’s done living in her sister’s shadow and has mastered the pleading eyes which mean extra pets and love. She might be a mystery mix on paper, but she's golden at heart, and she warms up quickly if you show her your heart.
  • Payton has already cracked the code: people equal treats equals love, and she intends to collect on all three. She's the bolder half of a sister duo, always the first to trot over and introduce herself…sometimes face to face! Payton will fully blossom with patience, training and love.
  • Rusty spent eight happy years as his dad’s dog and former hunting companion, until his  new trucking life on the road meant leaving Rusty behind. This handsome, red, Golden boy still has plenty of fetch, swim, cuddles and love left to give the right family.
  • Jackson's veteran dad loved him fiercely; he just lost the home that came with keeping him. This goofy, dog-loving, loyal Lab is ready to bring his fetch-loving, pool-splashing energy to his next family, bringing much-needed peace of mind to his former dad.
  • Goldie showed up with big Golden Retriever energy, though her family tree only goes part of the way there. Whip-smart, people-charming, and toy loving. An active home with older kids, a secure yard, and being your one and only will bring out the best in this clever girl.
  • Dusty lived an isolated life. When his people had to return to the office, his world was turned upside down. He needs a slow approach to new people and situations but proves loving and trusting with time and patience.
  • Tanner spent the last year by his person’s side through his cancer journey. Now his person’s final wish for Tanner is to know that he has found a home. This gentle boy has excellent house manners, a love of swimming, and a truly loyal heart. He's looking for people willing to make him their one and only...because he has earned it.
  • Doug plays hard, loves harder, and knows exactly how to work a room. He is a young, dog-selective boy who bonds tightly to confident, experienced handlers who understand the perfect mix of structure, exercise, clear expectations, and love.
  • A devoted companion and adventure co-pilot seeking equally dedicated humans and a chance to be a full-fledged member of the family. Fun-loving with great energy and Lab loyalty, Olive will thrive with training and your loving care.
