Anastasia—Ana for short—is a stunning 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. She came to us as a stray, so it’s no surprise she’s still a bit unsure about shelter life. But despite all the recent changes, Ana has proven to be incredibly resilient, tidy, and perfectly housetrained.
She absolutely loves going for walks and is always ready for a game of frisbee—she’s got the energy and enthusiasm of a true athlete! Like many Shepherds, she can get a little mouthy when she’s excited, so she’s looking for a home that can help her channel that energy in positive ways. Because of her size and playful nature, Ana would do best in a home without young children.
Ana is hoping for a calm, patient environment where she can fully decompress and feel secure. She’d thrive as the only pet in the household, where she can have all the love and attention she deserves.
If you’re looking for a smart, active companion who’s ready to learn, bond, and blossom—Ana just might be your girl.

Eddie is a happy-go-lucky 3-year-old bully mix who’s all about the simple pleasures in life—long walks, sniffing everything in sight, and lounging in his own cozy space. He’s strong and athletic, always up for stretching those powerful legs, but he’s just as content chilling solo with a frozen Kong or a sturdy bone. Eddie also keeps a tidy space and is very respectful of his home here at the shelter.
He’s made great progress with his leash walking and continues to improve every day. Eddie thrives in a calm, low-key environment where he can have his own space and time to decompress. He’d do best as the only pet in a home with experienced dog owners who understand his need for independence. Due to his size and playful energy, he’s probably best suited for a home without young children.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves the outdoors, and brings a goofy, lovable energy into your life—Eddie might just be your perfect match!

Bonnie and Scarlett have never known what it’s like to be loved as family. Rescued from a heartbreaking backyard breeding situation, these two brave girls have only ever had each other. They’ve never had a real home, a soft bed, or a human who saw them as more than just property. But through it all, they’ve stayed bonded — finding comfort and strength in one another when the world felt too scary to face alone.
Bonnie is the braver of the two, often stepping forward first to explore new things, while Scarlett hangs back, watching and waiting with cautious eyes. Scarlett relies on Bonnie for reassurance — her presence calms her, gives her courage, and reminds her that she’s not alone. Because of their deep connection, they must be adopted together.
They are incredibly shy and will need a family that can offer patience, time, and gentle hands. They’ve never walked on a leash, never known the joy of toys or treats freely given, so everything will be new — and possibly overwhelming — at first. But with love and commitment, they will begin to bloom. A fenced-in yard is required, as they’ll need a safe space to explore while building trust at their own pace.
Bonnie and Scarlett are not your average adoption story. They are a promise — that love can heal, that every soul deserves safety, and that with the right person, even the most broken hearts can find peace.
Are you the one who will finally show them what home feels like?

Hi! My name is Caramel and I’m around 3 years old. I came here not too long ago from what I hear is called a puppy mill. I’m used to other dogs, but not so much people. I’m very very shy around strangers and I haven’t been quite confident enough to go out on a walk with the people that feed me. I do love the snacks they bring me though! Maybe if they keep this up I’ll start being a little braver! Maybe I’ll even go to a new home that will help give me confidence! I could really use a calm home environment to relax in. Will you please give me on

Hi, I’m Copper! I’m around 3 years old. I just arrived here not too long ago from a backyard breeding situation. There were a whole lot of other dogs there so I’m used to being one of many. I think I might prefer to have a friend, but I’m also okay by myself. I’m very friendly and would love to sit in your lap for cuddles! I might be a bit shy at first, but that’s because I’ve never had a real home before. Despite my rough beginning, I’m getting to be a confident boy and I’ve even walked on a leash! I would love to go home with you and explore the real world even more!
