Hi, I'm Angel.
Hi, I’m Angel! I’m a gentle senior girl with wonderful manners and a heart full of love for everyone I meet. I enjoy short walks, cozy naps on the couch, soaking up the sunshine, and spending time close to my people—I’m truly a snuggle bug at heart! Even at 14, I still get the occasional zoomies and enjoy a toy now and then, but my favorite pastime is simply relaxing by your side. I do best with smaller meals throughout the day and appreciate frequent potty breaks while I settle into a routine. With my low energy and sweet nature, I’d love a calm home where someone is around often to keep me company and enjoy the simple things in life together.

Hi, I'm Milo.
Milo is a very sweet but shy boy who is looking for a patient family to help him blossom. While he may be reserved when meeting new people, once he’s comfortable his loving personality shines through. Milo is playful, affectionate, and an adorable companion who is sure to steal your heart. Milo has done well with another dog here at the shelter, but any potential canine companion should be introduced through a thoughtful and well-managed introduction to help set everyone up for success. Milo is ready for a fresh start with a family willing to invest a little time, patience, and love to help him build confidence and become the very best version of himself.
Hi, I'm Spaghetti.
Hi, I’m Spaghetti! I’m a fun-loving girl who’s always ready to get outside and see what the day has in store. I get excited for walks, love treats, and already know how to sit—especially if snacks are involved! One of my favorite games is chasing after toys, even if I decide not to bring them back. While I can be a little more interested in exploring than cuddling at first, give me a few minutes and I’m happy to soak up some pets and spend time with my people. I’m a smart, active dog who loves to learn, and I’ve even stayed calm when other dogs around me were making a lot of noise. If you’re looking for a playful companion with a goofy name and an adventurous spirit, I think we’d make a pretty great team!

Hi, I'm Quira.
Quira is a beautiful girl who came to the shelter after her landlord would no longer allow her to stay. Through no fault of her own, she’s now looking for a family to call her own. This sweet, friendly girl loves spending time with people and happily soaks up all the affection she can get. On walks, Quira likes to take her time, making sure every interesting scent gets the attention it deserves! Quira hasn’t been with us for very long, so we’re still getting to know her personality, but every day she continues to show us what a wonderful companion she is. She’s ready to leave the uncertainty behind and start her next chapter with a family who will love her forever.

Hi, I'm Goonie.
Hi, I’m Goonie! I’m a sweet, friendly guy who’s ready to leave my stray days behind and find a family to call my own. I love treats (seriously… I might even try to sneak a few extra from your treat bag!), enjoy going for walks, and am always up for a game of chase with my toys—even if I don’t quite understand the “bring it back” part yet. I’m affectionate, love getting scratches, and have never met a stranger for long. While I can be a little startled by sudden movements at first, I warm up quickly and have shown everyone what a gentle, loving boy I am. I’ve also been calm and curious around most of the dogs I’ve seen at the shelter. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who’s equal parts playful and cuddly, I think we’d make a pretty great team!

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
