SOSA

He has been thriving while boarding with one of our trainers. Doesn’t care for other dogs, ignores them. He's a very funny little guy and keeps us laughing. His ideal adopter will be a female, preferably a oneperson home.

ROOFUS

3 years old, Catahoula Leopard Hound

My life started out difficult, but I was saved and have bounced back! I don’t like to have others around me when I’m eating. I also don’t like shouting. Well behaved, house broken, and kennel trained. Would love a home with space in the yard for me to run and play!

BAILEY

8 years old, Hound

Needs to be an only pet and has so much love to give her people. Look at that smile! She has lots of energy, so a big, fenced-in yard in a lowtraffic area is a must. Come meet Bailey!

RUBY

2 years old,

Ruby needs to run and sniff and explore! Does well in her crate but only after she has had the exercise she needs. She will bark and jump and dig and get into mischief when unsupervised. Ruby is doing well in training learning some manners and self-control.

LINUS

5 years old, Dachshund Mix

Adopted as a puppy but has been struggling with the small child in the home so he recently came back and went to training. Would appreciate a family without kids and that will listen to his signals and not put a lot of pressure on him to interact with many new people.

MERLIN

5 years old, Mixed Breed

A very good boy who is potty-trained, rides well in cars, walks well on a leash and loves to explore. Looking for a caring, stable adult-only home where he is the only pet. He has experienced some hard times in his short life.

WILLOW

5 years old, Pit Bull Mix

She would enjoy long walks and hikes, snuggling on the couch and playing games to stimulate her mind and body. She would love a fenced yard but it’s not requiremed. Would love to be the only pet in the home.

SQUAD

5 years old, Akita/Shepherd Mix

Wants nothing more than a new home in the country where he can howl at the moon without disturbing neighbors. He can be a bit jumpy, so any kids should be nine years+. Would likely do well with a somewhat playful, easy-going dog given a successful meet and greet.

Lola is a happy and affectionate sweetheart who loves car rides! She seems to be fine with dogs but would be best in a no-cat home. Lola just loves attention and is learning what behaviors will earn her attention and treats.
