Hi, I'm Koa.
Meet Koa! With his sprightly personality and adorably goofy hairdo, Koa is sure to make you smile. This little guy has lots of energy and is still figuring out the best way to channel it. On walks, he’ll happily race around, bounce with excitement, and zigzag from one interesting thing to the next.
Despite all that enthusiasm, Koa is incredibly sweet and loves being close to his people. He’s the kind of dog who wants to follow you everywhere, making him the perfect little shadow. His busy energy can come across as a bit anxious at times, so he’ll do best with adopters who are patient and willing to help him build confidence and settle into a routine. With a little guidance and a loving home, Koa is ready to blossom into a wonderful companion.

Hi, I'm Meatball.
Meatball is a sweet, goofy guy who’s ready to find a family to call his own! He came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past, but we’ve loved getting to know him and watching his personality shine. When Meatball first arrived, he had a tail injury that required surgical repair, but he’s healing well and showing more of his playful side every day. He may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he decides you’re a friend, you’ll meet the total goofball hiding underneath that initial shyness. Meatball came in with another pup, so he may enjoy having a canine companion in his new home. As always, thoughtful management and proper introductions will be important to help set everyone up for success. No cats for him though! If you’re looking for a fun-loving buddy who just needs a little patience and a chance to shine, Meatball is ready to meet you!

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 Funnel Cake.
Meet Funnel Cake. This little guy is looking for a soft place to land, where he can begin to show his true colors! He came to us with overgrown, matted fur, and after a shave down and vet check he is feeling much better! Funnel Cake enjoys a stroll through the grass and walks well on leash. We are eager to see him come out of his shell and we know that there is a perfect family out there looking for this sweet companion.

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.
