Hi, I'm Min Min.
Hi, I’m Min Min! I found my way to the shelter as a stray alongside another dog, but while my buddy was able to go home, I’m still waiting for my happily ever after. I’m a young, energetic girl with a heart full of love and a tail that never seems to stop wagging! I love treats, enjoy learning, and am always ready to play or soak up attention from my people. I walk nicely on leash, was easy to handle from the very start, and have been a joy to spend time with. I’ve also shown a lot of happy curiosity toward the other dogs I’ve seen around the shelter and seem eager to make new friends. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful puppy who’s ready for adventures, training, and lots of love, I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, I'm Gumby.
Gumby is a sweet senior gentleman who came to us as a stray, and while we don’t know what his life was like before, we know his best days are still ahead. He’s ready to find a loving family to call his own. Gumby has been the definition of laid-back during his time at the shelter. He’s a gentle, easygoing boy who enjoys the simple things in life, soft beds, kind people, and a peaceful place to relax. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate senior companion to share your days with, Gumby may just be the perfect match.

Hi, I'm Hambone.
Hambone is a sweet, energetic young pup who’s ready to find a family that can keep up with his zest for life! Found as a stray, his past is a mystery, but he’s already shown us that he’s eager to learn and loves being around his people. Like many young dogs, Hambone is still working on his manners and can be a little vocal when he’s excited, but his enthusiasm and willingness to please make him a great candidate for training. With a committed family willing to invest in socialization and positive reinforcement, Hambone is sure to grow into an amazing companion. Whether he’s zooming around the yard or soaking up attention from his favorite people, Hambone is happiest when he’s part of the action. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal best friend who’s ready for life’s next adventure, Hambone might just be your perfect match!

Hi, I'm Sweetie.
Hi, I’m Sweetie! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world was a very scary place when I first arrived. Thanks to patience, kindness, and a wonderful foster home, I’m learning something new every day. I’m a smart girl who picks up new things quickly and absolutely loves playing with other dogs—they’ve helped me gain so much confidence! While I’m still a little shy with people and prefer to retreat to my crate when I need a safe space, I continue to make progress at my own pace. I enjoy running around the yard, playing with toys, and being part of a routine. My ideal home would have another friendly dog to help show me the ropes and a patient family who understands that trust takes time. I may not be the kind of dog who wants cuddles right away, but if you let me blossom on my own timeline, I know I’ll become a loyal companion who’s worth every bit of the journey.

Hi, I'm Ford Ranger.
Hello, ladies! My name is Ford Ranger, and while I arrived at the shelter as a stray with very little known about my past, I’ve made one thing crystal clear about my future: I am looking for a home where the feminine energy is strong. I am a certified Girls’ Guy™. The female staff here? Obsessed with me. Me? Equally obsessed with them. The men? Well… let’s just say we’re still in the “it’s complicated” stage of our relationship. I do require someone with breed experience. I’d prefer an adult-only home who understand that trust takes time and good things are worth waiting for. Once I decide you’re part of my inner circle, though, prepare yourself. I become a world-class cuddle enthusiast. Despite weighing considerably more than a Chihuahua, I firmly believe I am lap sized. This is not up for debate. I also have a playful side and enjoy having fun with my people. What I need most is a family willing to provide structure, positive reinforcement training, and consistency while I continue building confidence and learning how to navigate the world. So, if your household is giving “women supporting women” energy, if your playlists occasionally feature girl power anthems, and if you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to adore his favorite people, we should probably meet.

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.
