Hi, I'm Covergirl.
Hi, I’m Covergirl! I came to the shelter as a stray, but it didn’t take me long to prove that I was made for family life! My foster says I settled into her home like I’d always lived there, and I’ve been winning hearts ever since. I’m a sweet, social girl who loves everyone I meet—especially kids! Whether we’re playing tug, exploring the outdoors, splashing around at the lake, or even trying out paddleboarding, I’m always ready for the next adventure. I’m a quick learner, too! I picked up “sit” and “paw” in just a couple of days thanks to my love of treats. After a fun day, I’m happiest curled up beside my favorite people for some snuggles. I’m still polishing up my house manners and might sneak a shoe if you leave one out, but I’m easily redirected and eager to learn. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion who loves both outdoor adventures and couch cuddles, I think we’d make the perfect team!

Hi, I'm Myla.
Hi, I’m Myla! I’m a lovable, friendly girl who’s always ready for my next game of fetch or a good cuddle session. If you throw a toy, I’ll happily bring it right back and even let go so we can keep playing! I love meeting new people, making dog friends, and soaking up all the pets and attention I can get. When I’m not playing, I’m happiest sitting at your feet or curling up for a nap—and around 9 o’clock, I’ll even tuck myself into my crate for bedtime! I can get a little excited when new things happen, so I may bark to announce the fun, but I warm up quickly and just want to say hello. I’m smart, eager to learn, and both praise and treats make training a breeze. I also have hip dysplasia, which is well-managed with daily medication and doesn’t stop me from enjoying walks, playtime, or living life to the fullest. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion who will keep you smiling and always be up for a game of fetch, I’d love to meet you!

Hi, I'm Adobe Flash.
Adobe Flash has stopped working…
…just kidding. This version actually works great.
Adobe Flash was found as a stray and, sadly, was never reclaimed. When he first arrived, he was a little unsure of the world around him. Every day his confidence grows, and we’re getting to see more of the playful, goofy, affectionate Doberman hiding underneath. This handsome boy loves spending time with his people, has a fun-loving personality that’s starting to shine, and is more than ready to upgrade from shelter life to a forever home. No downloads required. No security warnings. Just one sweet pup looking for a family that will give him a little patience while he finishes loading into his best self.

Hi, I'm Hot Wheels.
Start your engines! Hot Wheels is looking for his forever family! This handsome youngster came to us as a stray and has two speeds: fast and faster. He’s still learning the rules of the road, so he’ll need a family committed to providing structure, training, and lots of positive outlets for his energy. Put in the miles with this fun-loving guy, and you’ll have a best friend who’s worth every lap. Start your engines, Hot Wheels is looking for his forever family!

Hi, I'm Kong.
Hi, I’m Kong! I’m a big, goofy Rottweiler with an even bigger heart! I love to play fetch, splash around in the water, chase my favorite toys, and, most of all, soak up attention from my people. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if I come barreling over and plop my whole backside into your lap for some love! I recently lost my home after my family fell on hard times, and all the big changes have made me a little louder than usual when I first see new people or dogs through a fence or kennel door. But once you actually meet me, you’ll quickly discover I’m a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be part of the fun. I’m an active guy who would love a family that enjoys playing, exploring, and continuing to teach me all the good things life has to offer. Because I’m such a big, enthusiastic goofball, I’d do best with older children who won’t mind my exuberant personality. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will keep you laughing and remind you every day just how much he loves you, I think we’re going to get along just fine!

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.
