Hi, I'm Louie.
Hi, I’m Louie! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming sometimes, but every day I grow more confident and comfortable. Once I feel safe, my sweet personality shines through—I’m affectionate, playful, and love giving kisses to my favorite people. I enjoy the best of both worlds: long walks, exploring, puzzle toys, and playing with other dogs, but I’m also perfectly happy curling up on the couch for a relaxing evening. I’ve done wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, am indifferent to cats, and warm up to new people with a little patience and space. As a smart Collie mix, I love having both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep me engaged. I may need a little time to adjust to a new home, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal companion and best friend. My foster family says I have so much love to give—and they’re absolutely right.

Hi, I'm Oso.
I’m the kind of dog who enjoys the simple things in life: a good walk, a place to explore, a toy to carry around, and a comfy spot to relax with my favorite people. I recently went on a Dogs’ Day Out and showed everyone what a great companion I can be, calmly walking past strangers, other dogs, and even small animals with very little concern. I love taking in the world through my nose, but after a little adventure, I’m perfectly happy settling in for some quiet time.
Meeting new people can still feel a little overwhelming for me, so I like to take introductions at my own pace. The staff and volunteers here have given me time, patience, and plenty of treats, and every day I grow a little more confident. Once I know you’re part of my circle, my goofy, loving personality really shines through.
Because trust takes a little time, I’m looking for a family that understands there’s no need to rush. I’ll likely need multiple meets before I’m ready to head home, but I promise it’s worth the wait. If you’re willing to let me move at my own pace, you’ll discover a loyal, sweet companion who’s ready to join you on all of life’s adventures.

Hi, I'm Butterscotch Button.
Butterscotch Button is one of seven in an accidental litter all named after sweet treats for their wonderful temperaments. The babies spent some time with mom until they were ready to go to their own foster homes to grow up enough for adoption. Compared to her siblings, Butterscotch Button is the sweetest of them all, the most amenable to handling and taking a little sit in your lap. As a teenager bunny, she naturally enjoys her exploration and toy time as well, so make sure to allow for plenty of both!
Butterscotch Button has not been around dogs, cats, or young children, but she did grow up in foster with one of her siblings and did well with them. Once spayed, Butterscotch Button could happily be introduced and bonded to another rabbit (like one of her brothers) if desired. If you’re looking to treat yourself to a little love bug, pick up this blue-eyed beauty!
Hi, I'm Daisy.
Hi, I’m Daisy! I came from a large hoarding case where I lived with many other dogs, so it’s no surprise that I really enjoy canine companionship! I recently spent time with a few of the dogs I came from the home with, and we had a blast running, wrestling, and playing together. I’m an active, playful girl who loves having dog friends around and does a great job respecting them when they’ve had enough. New people can take me a little longer to warm up to than other dogs, but I continue to grow more confident every day. I’m looking for a patient family who will help me keep discovering how wonderful the world can be—and if you have a playful dog at home, I think we could become the best of friends!

Hi, I'm Marzie.
Hi, I’m Marzie! I came from a large hoarding case, but that hasn’t stopped my fun-loving personality from shining through! I’m a happy, playful puppy who loves meeting new people, making dog friends, and turning just about everything into a game. I’m always on the move—running, bouncing around the yard, splashing in the water, and inviting everyone to join in the fun. I’m affectionate, curious, and full of puppy energy, so I’d love a family that’s ready to help me continue learning while giving me plenty of playtime and adventures. If you’re looking for a goofy, joyful companion who will keep you smiling, I’m your girl!

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.
