Name: Granbird

Age: 1 Year Old

Gender:  Male

About: Granbird is an almost 2-year-old male with a great mix of playful energy and calm companionship. This handsome, dog-friendly boy loves water, enjoys walks, and would thrive in a home that enjoys the outdoors as much as he does. Having lived in a home before, he’s likely already potty trained and knows basic commands. While Granbird enjoys playtime and adventure, he also has a mellow, independent side. He’s not overly clingy—he’s happy just being near you, making him an easygoing and low-maintenance companion. He would do best in a home with a 6-foot privacy fence, as he can be reactive when unfamiliar people or dogs pass by his kennel at the shelter. On leash, though, he’s much more relaxed and polite. He’s a smart pup who will benefit from continued structure and would thrive with obedience training to strengthen his bond with his new family. Due to his size and sensitivity to new environments, Granbird would do best in a home with no or older children who can respect his space. With time and love, he’ll become a deeply loyal and loving friend. He’s ready to leave the shelter behind and find a forever home full of comfort, adventure, and love.

Name: Curtis

Age: 2 Years Old

Gender:  Male

About: Curtis is a charming pittie mix with a story that will tug at your heart. Found starving, alone, and with broken teeth, this sweet boy has endured more than his fair share of hardship — yet he never lost his spirit. Through it all, he continues to greet every person he meets with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart. While Curtis is incredibly loving with people, his past experiences have made it difficult for him to be around other animals. Because of this, he must be the only pet in the home — but trust us, he has more than enough love to give. Curtis enjoys the simple things: short walks, lounging in the grass, and spending time with his humans. He would thrive in a quiet home with a secure yard, where he can relax, soak up the sun, and finally feel safe and loved. This special boy is looking for a peaceful forever home where he can be your one and only. If you're ready to open your heart to a loyal, resilient, and endlessly sweet companion, Curtis is ready to meet you.

Name: Amberina

Age: 8 Months Old

Gender: Female

About: Amberina is a joyful seven-month-old puppy overflowing with personality and charm. Playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious, she has that irresistible puppy spark that keeps everyone smiling. Whether she is chasing toys, trotting happily on a walk, or curling up for snuggles, Amberina brings joy wherever she goes. She bonds quickly with her people and is already showing how smart she is. Amberina sits politely for treats and meals, walks nicely on a leash, and recently mastered the doggy door. She is crate trained, fully house trained, and eager to keep learning. Amberina is wonderful with other dogs, loves children, and does well with cats—though, like many young pups, she may try to chase if they run, so confident, dog-savvy cats are best. Her friendly, adaptable nature makes her an easy fit for many types of homes. If you are looking for a loving, trainable pup who is great with kids, cats, and dogs—and who will happily join you on all of life’s adventures—Amberina might be your perfect match.

Name: Rafa 2

Age: 2 Years Old

Gender: Female

About: Rafa is a beautiful 2-year-old, 50-pound girl with a golden coat, soulful eyes, and a heart of pure gold. She may have hints of German Shepherd or Golden Retriever in her lineage, but it is her gentle, resilient spirit that makes her truly special. Rafa’s journey has not been an easy one, but in the three months she has been in her loving foster home, she has made incredible progress. She is learning that the world can be a safe and kind place, and with the right person by her side, we know she will continue to blossom each and every day. She is a gentle soul through and through — even when she is unsure, her first instinct is to roll onto her back in a sweet, submissive show of trust. She is crate trained, potty trained, and is picking up her leash manners quickly, showing just how eager she is to learn and grow. Rafa would thrive in a calm, predictable home with a patient, loving owner who can offer her the consistency she needs. She could be happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all your attention, or she may enjoy having a confident dog friend to show her the ropes. With time, patience, and unconditional love, Rafa will reward you with unwavering loyalty in return. She is ready to take the next step toward her forever home — could that be with you?

Name: Flamurtle

Age: 4 Years Old

Gender: Female

About: This sweet girl is a medium-sized, 32-pound cattle dog mix. She is intelligent, affectionate, eager to please, and will be a loyal companion to her forever family. She recently joined us and is still a little shy, but she is making progress every day. Right now she is practicing short walks around the neighborhood, and once she feels secure and settled in her forever home, she will likely enjoy longer walks or other outdoor activities. In her foster home she enjoys exploring the yard, mealtime is always a highlight, and although she gets along well with her foster dog siblings, her greatest joy is being with people. She is comfortable in her crate but is always happy to come out for belly rubs and treats. She appears to understand house training, has had no accidents in the home, and does well when she has regular opportunities to go outside throughout the day. With her quick mind, she will benefit greatly from obedience training, and a familiar routine will help her continue to gain confidence and ease her shyness.
Her personality is easygoing and she is not a high-energy dog. A daily walk along with plenty of love and affection will make her very happy.

Name: Cherry Mash

Age:  2 Years Old

Gender: Female

About: Cherry Mash is a gentle, soulful cattle dog mix with a heart as sweet as her name. Weighing around 50 pounds, she’s a smart and affectionate girl who thrives on routine and brings a quiet joy to any home. Cherry is housetrained and quickly learned how to use the doggy door all on her own—proof of just how intelligent and intuitive she is. Although Cherry is shy at first, she’s made incredible progress and continues to open up a little more each day. She loves being near her people, always greeting her foster family at the door with a wagging tail and warm eyes. She’s not the cuddly type—yet—but her gentle presence and growing trust make every small step feel like a big win. Cherry is especially happy around other dogs. She absolutely lights up in their company, grinning from ear to ear and bunny hopping to invite them to play. She also loves to curl up beside them for cozy group naps. Cherry’s ideal home will include a secure yard, a doggy door, and—most importantly—another friendly dog (or more!) to keep her company and help her continue building confidence. The more love and companionship around her, the happier she becomes. Cherry hasn’t shown much interest in cats or children, so a calm, dog-savvy home would be her perfect fit. Once a devoted mama, Cherry Mash gave her pups a loving start—and now it’s her turn to be loved. With kindness and time, she will become a loyal, loving, and quietly joyful companion.To learn more, contact @terrificbroth on Instagram.

Name: Senor Buster

Age: 6 Year Old

Gender:  Male

About: Hi there! My name is Buster, and I am a 6-year-old Chihuahua currently living my best life in foster care. If you are looking for a spunky, loyal sidekick who is happiest glued to your side, I just might be your perfect match. I absolutely love my humans and want to be near them every chance I get. Whether you are watching TV, working from home, or heading out on an adventure, I will be right there with you, tail wagging and heart full of love. I get along with other dogs, but to be honest, I think people are way cooler — so I usually keep to myself when it comes to canine company. My tail never stops wagging, and I walk with the kind of adorable little swagger that lets the world know I may be small, but I am full of confidence and charm. I am still working on my housetraining, but I have made great progress and continue to improve every day with routine and patience. I have a special way of making everyone around me smile, and I am the kind of companion who will always brighten your day. Whether it is cuddles on the couch or following you around the house, I am happiest just being close to my people.

Name: E-Soul

Age: 6 Months Old

Gender: Male

About: At just 6 months old, E-Soul is a walking comedy show. With ears too big for his head, paws too big for his body, and a heart way too big for his chest, he’s the kind of pup who turns heads, steals hearts, and knocks over furniture (accidentally... we think). He LOVES everyone — kids, adults, dogs — and hasn’t met a stranger he didn’t want to show off his toy to. Cats? He hasn’t been tested yet, but knowing E-Soul, he’d probably try to impress them with a squeaky toy and end up knocking over a houseplant in the process. This boy is obsessed with toys and treats, often parading around like he just won an award, tossing them in his water bowl and entertaining himself (and you) for hours. He could be an independent player but would be in heaven with a doggy best friend to zoom and wrestle with. He would  thrive in a home with another playful pup. E-Soul is great with kids and people of all ages, but keep in mind — he’s still learning how giant he is. His baby moose energy means he needs some basic training and guidance as he grows (and he’s growing fast!). If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, loveable companion who brings laughter, chaos, and endless affection, E-Soul is your guy.
