Our Featured Dogs:
Luna
Hi I'm Luna! I am 4 years and 9 months old and weigh 50 lbs. Depending on the picture and lighting, I look like a lab mix, weimareiner or even a labraseal! You’ll just love taking pics of me while I pose nicely. I've been told I have a sweet face and that I am a goofball once I get to know you. I love toys and to play fetch. Oh yeah, I love car rides! I can pull on my leash a little cause walkies are my fav, but all you need to do is to stop and call me back. I'm ok with other dogs who are polite but if in the home, we should be fed separately. My little quirk is that I don't like strangers reaching out to pet me without my consent. I prefer to get to know people first to figure out if they are ok. I do accept treats very sweetly and politely. My perfect day would be to run in a big field (or backyard), rolling in the grass, having constant belly rubs, going for another car ride (love those!!), then cuddle with my peeps on the couch. I sleep like a dream in my crate every night

Rusty
Rusty is a playful, energetic pooch who is 7 years old and about 60 lb.! We think he looks like a black mouth cur, but who knows for sure. He's got a long tongue that was just made for giving lots of doggie kisses. He also absolutely loves to lounge in a doggie pool filled with ice! He also loves to jump, so he probably would be a natural for aerial frisbee, he's as smart as can be, so he would love agility training. His favorite thing to do is run, and he would love to find someone who is active and has a big yard for running! Although he loves kids, he wouldn't be a good fit for young children, as he might accidentally knock them down in his enthusiasm. Rusty loves kids and adults but is protective of his home. When strangers come, he needs a place where he can go, away from the activity. He is SO sweet, smart, and funny. He deserves a great life and is looking for his forever home. Could you be the one?

Kimber
(Foster or Adopt)
HIGH PRIORITY: KENNEL STRESSED AND LOSING WEIGHT
Kimber is a very sweet female cuddle bug that is a 4+ years old bull terrier mix that weighs 62 pounds. If you want a true companion and a dog who is obedience trained, meet Kimber! Our girl is getting stressed by kennel life and is losing weight. We give her extra rations but the stress is not heathy for her. She needs to find a home, whether it is a foster home where she can relax and gain weight, or her forever home. Kimber is truly a WONDERFUL dog. A real companion who is loyal, obedient, loving, playful, and protective. Her ideal home is where a pet parent / foster would be working remotely without any pesky animals hogging her love and attention. She prefers a home with calm and quiet since small rambunctious children make her nervous.
