Hi, I'm Louie.
Hi, I’m Louie! I came from a large hoarding case, so the world can still feel a little overwhelming sometimes, but every day I grow more confident and comfortable. Once I feel safe, my sweet personality shines through—I’m affectionate, playful, and love giving kisses to my favorite people. I enjoy the best of both worlds: long walks, exploring, puzzle toys, and playing with other dogs, but I’m also perfectly happy curling up on the couch for a relaxing evening. I’ve done wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, am indifferent to cats, and warm up to new people with a little patience and space. As a smart Collie mix, I love having both physical exercise and mental enrichment to keep me engaged. I may need a little time to adjust to a new home, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal companion and best friend. My foster family says I have so much love to give—and they’re absolutely right.

Hi, I'm Mr. Fox.
Meet Mr. Fox! This handsome guy came to us as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that he’s been nothing but sweet and easygoing since arriving at the shelter. Mr. Fox isn’t one to demand the spotlight, he’s more of the quiet gentleman who patiently waits for affection, and when you give it to him, he’s more than happy to soak it up. While he hasn’t shown us all of his personality just yet, that’s not unusual in a shelter environment. We have a feeling that once he’s settled into a loving home, he’ll start to let his true colors shine. If you’re looking for a calm, gentle companion who appreciates the simple things in life, Mr. Fox just might be your 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 Nachos at Noon.
Meet Nachos at Noon! This handsome young guy came to us as a stray and has been winning hearts ever since. Like any young dog, Nachos at Noon is still learning the ropes and will benefit from continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. His future family should be ready to continue building on the great foundation he’s already started. As he gets more comfortable, we’re excited to see even more of his personality shine through. For now, we know he’s a sweet, friendly pup who loves soaking up affection and is ready to share that love with a family of his own.

Hi, I'm Subwoofer.
Hi! I’m Subwoofer, and if you’re looking for a dog who is equal parts goofy and lovable, you’ve found him. I came to the shelter through the Humane Officer, but I don’t let my past slow me down, I’ve been a total ham since day one! My favorite things? Hanging out with my people, eating snacks, and playing with my toys. I like to keep life fun and I’m always ready for a little shenanigan or two. I’m still a young guy, so I’m working on my manners. If you’re willing to spend some time teaching me and showing me the ropes, I promise I’ll do my best to learn. All I really want is a family to laugh with, play with, and love for the rest of my life. So, what do you say? Ready to turn up the volume and make me part of your family?

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.
