Hunter
Beagle Mix
Male • Born 2/8/24 • Neutered • Microchipped • Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Hunter!
Hunter is a spirited, intelligent Beagle mix who is looking for the right match — someone who understands that great dogs aren’t one-size-fits-all.
He’s a strong, energetic guy who thrives with structure, consistency, and one-on-one attention. In a calm, predictable environment, Hunter shows his best self: he’s affectionate with his person, enjoys quiet companionship, and has already built some solid routines.
He’s mostly house-trained, sleeps through the night, and knows how to sit, wait, and make eye contact before meals.
Hunter bonds deeply with his person and truly shines when he’s given clear guidance and space to decompress. With continued training and a confident handler, he has so much potential to keep growing into a loyal, steady companion.
Hunter isn’t looking for a busy household — he’s looking for his person.
Hunter Is Best For:
✔️ An experienced dog owner who understands strong, energetic dogs
✔️ A calm, adult-only home
✔️ Someone who is home often and enjoys working with their dog
✔️ A person with confidence handling a strong dog on leash
✔️ A home where Hunter can be the only dog
✔️ A lifestyle that values routine, patience, and positive reinforcement
Hunter Is Not the Best Fit For:
✖️ Homes with children
✖️ Homes with other dogs
✖️ First-time dog owners
✖️ Busy or highly social households
✖️ Anyone unable to safely manage a strong dog
Important Note!
Hunter needs placement soon with the right, experienced adopter or foster. His strength and excitement mean he requires someone who can safely manage him and provide the structure he needs. Finding the right home quickly is important for Hunter’s well-being.
Why Hunter Is Worth It:
Hunter may need more attention than some dogs, but what he gives in return is deep loyalty, connection, and companionship. For the right person, he won’t just be a dog; he’ll be a true partner.
If you’re ready to open your home, or even provide a temporary foster placement, and can offer the calm leadership Hunter needs, please reach out today. The right match could change his future.

Lil Mama
Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Female • Born 2024 • Spayed • Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Lil Mama!
On New Year’s Eve, Lil Mama was the last dog in the shelter without a commitment. Her extensions were up, and time had run out. We couldn’t leave her behind.
Lil Mama is safe and already showing us just how special she is. She’s incredibly sweet, playful, and full of happy energy. She loves other dogs, does great with cats, and adores kids. While she’s always ready to play, she also loves to snuggle and be close—she’s truly the best of both worlds.
Lil Mama will make an amazing companion for an active, loving home that wants a best friend by their side.
She has been updated on vaccines and has been spayed and microchipped. She is also house trained.
If you’re interested in adopting or helping support Lil Mama on her journey, please reach out or share her story. Let’s help her find the forever home she deserves.

Chico
Shi Tzu & Poodle Mix
Male • Born 2022 • Up-to-date on vaccines • Neutered
Meet Chico!
Chico is an adorable mixed-breed pup—possibly Poodle and Shih Tzu—around 4 years old. This sweet boy is looking for a fresh start after being abandoned, and he’s ready to find a home where he can feel safe and loved.
Chico is a gentle, quiet companion who enjoys being around people and settles in nicely once he feels comfortable. He’s been doing great in his foster home, getting along well with other dogs and even cats. He appears to be house-trained and is a calm traveler who rides well in the car.
Like many dogs who’ve had a tough past, Chico appreciates having his own space when it comes to food and treats. He would do best with an experienced owner who can respect his boundaries and help him continue to build trust and confidence using positive reinforcement. Because of this, a home without small children is recommended.
Chico is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and ready to meet his forever family.
✔️ Up to date on vaccines, neutered & microchipped
✔️ Best in a home with no small children
If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion and are willing to give Chico the patience and understanding he deserves, he just might be your perfect match.

Tippy
Westie & Maltese Mix
Female • Born 2025 • Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Tippy!
Tippy is a spunky Westie/Maltese mix with a big voice and an even bigger personality! At about 8 months old and 15 pounds, she’s full of puppy energy and always ready for fun.
Tippy may bark a little when she first meets someone—she likes to announce herself—but once properly introduced, her playful and affectionate side shines through. She’s a social, “clingy” girl who loves being near her people and thrives on attention. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you company and make sure you’re never alone, Tippy is your girl!
She’s also quite the little alert system and is usually the first to let you know when someone’s around. Beneath that vocal personality is a very sweet, loving pup who just wants to be part of the action.
Tippy has received her vaccines.. Applications are currently being accepted, but she will not be ready to go home until she is spayed.
If you’re ready for a fun, energetic companion who will keep life lively and full of love, Tippy could be the perfect fit.

Moolah
American Bully
Female • Born 2020 • Spayed • Microchipped •Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Moolah!
Moolah is a sweet, affectionate Bully girl with a heart full of love. She’s friendly with people, gets along well with other dogs, and is fully house-trained — truly such a good girl!
She adores being around her people and has a gentle, loyal nature that Bully lovers will especially appreciate. Because of her breed, we’re looking for adopters who understand and value the affectionate, devoted personality Bullies are known for.
Moolah also has some ongoing skin allergies. We’ve done skin scrapes and bloodwork, and there’s no fungus or bacteria present. She’s currently on a 30-day course of antibiotics and has received an allergy injection. She may benefit from Cytopoint injections every 4–6 weeks (approximately $80 per injection), and she does well on a salmon-and-vegetable diet.
She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. A fenced-in yard would be best for her, and she needs a home without children.
If you’re looking for a lovable, loyal companion who brings joy, laughter, and endless affection, Moolah might be the perfect match.

Prince
Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Male • Born 12/23 • Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Prince!
Prince is a handsome 2-year-old Pit mix who’s up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.
He’s been with us since April, and in that time we’ve watched him make slow, steady progress after coming from a home where he wasn’t treated kindly. He’s a survivor with a tender heart, and he deserves a family who will give him the patience, safety, and love he never had.
Prince is shy and easily startled, so he’ll need a quiet, predictable home with someone who’s home often and willing to move at his pace. Loud noises overwhelm him, and he's especially afraid of lawnmowers, so a fenced-in yard is a must for his comfort and security.
But here’s the beautiful part: once Prince feels safe with you, he bonds deeply. He becomes the kind of dog who follows you everywhere, gentle and loyal, as if he’s finally found his person.
Prince is truly a special boy looking for an equally special adopter — someone patient, calm, and committed to helping him continue his journey toward trust. If you have a peaceful home and a heart for dogs who need a little extra time, Prince may be the perfect companion for you.

Westie & Maltese Mix
Male • Born 2025 • Up-to-date on vaccines
Meet Rocky!
Rocky is an adorable Westie/Maltese mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! At around 8 months old and 15 pounds, he’s still very much a playful puppy with lots of energy and love to give.
Rocky can be a little shy at first, but give him a moment and he’ll quickly become your best friend. Once he warms up, he absolutely loves attention and will happily soak up all the pets and affection you can give. He’s a sweet, spirited boy who would thrive in an active home ready to keep up with his puppy energy.
Rocky has received his first round of vaccines. He will be fully vetted prior to adoption—applications are being accepted now, but he will not go to his new home until he is neutered.
