Hi, I'm Frankfurter.
Meet Frankfurter! 🌠This little guy is the perfect mix of curious and laid-back. He loves following his nose, exploring the world one sniff at a time, and has just enough pep in his step to make every walk an adventure. Independent by nature, Frankfurter is happy to do his own thing but also enjoys hanging out with his people. He doesn’t mind being picked up or getting some pets, and once he’s comfortable, you’ll discover he’s quite the little chatterbox! If you’re looking for an easygoing companion with a curious spirit and a fun personality, Frankfurter is ready to meet you.

Hi, I'm Quira.
Quira is a beautiful girl who came to the shelter after her landlord would no longer allow her to stay. Through no fault of her own, she’s now looking for a family to call her own. This sweet, friendly girl loves spending time with people and happily soaks up all the affection she can get. On walks, Quira likes to take her time, making sure every interesting scent gets the attention it deserves! Quira hasn’t been with us for very long, so we’re still getting to know her personality, but every day she continues to show us what a wonderful companion she is. She’s ready to leave the uncertainty behind and start her next chapter with a family who will love her forever.

Hi, I'm Funnel Cake.
Meet Funnel Cake. This little guy is looking for a soft place to land, where he can begin to show his true colors! He came to us with overgrown, matted fur, and after a shave down and vet check he is feeling much better! Funnel Cake enjoys a stroll through the grass and walks well on leash. We are eager to see him come out of his shell and we know that there is a perfect family out there looking for this sweet companion.

Hi, I'm Slip n’ Slide.
Hi, I’m Slip n’ Slide! I’m a young, happy guy who’s always ready for a little fun! Whether it’s going for a walk, playing in the yard, or earning a tasty treat, I’m all in. I was found as a stray, so my past is a bit of a mystery, but I’ve already shown everyone what a sweet, affectionate boy I am. I walk nicely on leash, love treats, and enjoy spending time with my people just as much as I enjoy playtime. I’ve also shown calm curiosity toward the other dogs I’ve seen around the shelter, taking everything in stride without getting overly excited. If you’re looking for an outgoing, medium-energy companion who’s equal parts playful and loving, I think we’d make the perfect team!

Hi, I'm Motley.
Hi, I’m Motley! I came to the shelter from a large hoarding case, so I’m still learning that people can be kind and the world can be a fun place to explore. I’m a curious little guy who loves checking out everything around me, and every day I grow a little more confident. While I may be shy at first, I’ve started seeking out gentle attention from people I trust and have discovered that pets actually feel pretty nice! I’ve also met several other dogs and have done well simply sharing space with them, taking everything in at my own pace. My perfect family will understand that I’m still building confidence and will give me the patience and encouragement I need to continue blossoming. Every small victory is a big deal for me, and I know that with a little love and time, I’m going to make an incredible companion.

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.
