Hi, I'm G.I Jane.
G.I. Jane came to us as a stray, so much of her story remains a mystery. What we do know is that she is a sweet girl with a playful, goofy side that shines through once she starts to feel comfortable. Like many dogs, the shelter environment can be overwhelming, and G.I. Jane can be a little reserved. However, with patience, kindness, and a little time to adjust, she continues to show us more of her wonderful personality every day. G.I. Jane is looking for a family that understands confidence takes time to build. With a loving home and people willing to let her move at her own pace, we know this sweet girl will blossom into a loyal and devoted companion.

Hi, I'm Bark Twain.
Bark Twain is a larger-than-life guy with an equally large personality! Found as a stray, much of his past remains a mystery, but he’s been busy making an impression since arriving at the shelter. This big, goofy boy loves treats, enjoys spending time with his people, and isn’t shy about sharing his opinions, especially when it comes to singing the song of his people. If you’re looking for a quiet dog, Bark Twain may not be your leading man! Since we don’t know what life was like before he arrived, he’ll need an adopter who understands that adjusting to a new home takes time. A consistent routine, patience, and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping him settle in and thrive. If you’re ready for a lovable, treat-motivated goofball who will keep life entertaining, Bark Twain may be the perfect addition to your story.

Hi, I'm Austin.
Austin is a handsome boy who came to us at no fault of his own and is ready to find a family to call his own. When he first arrived, Austin was understandably nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. With time, patience, and the support of our staff, he has truly blossomed into a happy, personable, and playful companion. Austin is looking for an understanding family that will give him the time he needs to settle into yet another new environment and build confidence at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet personality shines through. As a fluffy guy, Austin comes with plenty of fur and shedding, so his future family should be prepared to keep up with regular brushing to help him look and feel his best. If you’re searching for a loyal companion and don’t mind a little extra fur around the house, Austin may be the perfect fit for you!
Hi, I'm Snow.
Snow is a sweet girl with the very best bully smile and a personality that’s sure to win hearts. She came to the shelter at no fault of her own and is ready to find a family willing to shower her with the love she deserves. In the shelter, Snow tends to be a bit independent, happily doing her own thing and taking in the world around her. But when she’s ready, she’ll come over for pets and affection on her terms. One of our favorite things about Snow is watching her roll around in the dirt with a huge grin on her face, it never fails to make us smile! Snow is looking for a family who will appreciate her easygoing nature and give her the chance to settle in and be herself. If you’re searching for a sweet companion with a charming smile and a little goofy side, Snow may be your perfect match.

Hi, I'm Myla.
Myla is a beautiful girl who came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about her past. What we do know is that she is an incredibly sweet dog who enjoys spending time with people and loves getting out for walks. As she adjusts to yet another new chapter in her life, Myla will benefit from a patient family willing to give her time to decompress and settle into her new surroundings. A consistent routine, positive reinforcement training, and plenty of love will help her build confidence and thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share your days with, Myla may be the perfect addition to your family!

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.
