Once she is settled, Lala curls up sweetly with a volunteer. • Her leash-walking skills are improving. • Lala is housebroken and uses the doggy door.

This handsome lad is Rufus. He’s a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, with an approximate DOB of July 2024. We’re just getting to know our new friend, and we already appreciate his wonderful combination of traits: smart and silly; playful and gentle; quiet, yet curious and ready to be part of the action. Sadly, he was dumped in the country and lived outdoors for more than a month. He’s adjusting well to life indoors and enjoys meeting our volunteers. He appears eager to learn. Genera

Hi! My name is Freddie. I have lived and survived on my own my entire life (I am 6 years old). And boy do I have the scraps, scars, and battle wounds to show for it! Once I hurt my back leg, I decided I could no longer “do life” without help. So I started hanging around a vet clinic. Smart, huh? They eventually noticed me (and my injuries and hurt leg) and took me in. I receive a lot of medical care there (including a complete dental cleaning), as well as a lot of love. The v

Roxy is small in size, with a sweet and shy disposition. We’re guessing she’s a Whippet mixed with a Pointer? Or maybe mixed with a Heeler? Who cares? What matters is that she has a freckly face and is ready to wiggle her way into your heart. And she looks so cute in her winter coat! Roxy keeps her crat

Hi! My name is Jett! I was once owned by humans but when they moved, they left me behind. (I have no idea why because I’m very sweet and don’t cause any trouble!) Luckily a kind neighbor recognized my plight, cared for me, and brought me to a nice shelter so I could find a forever home.While I am named for my sleek black coat, the name “Jett” is also associated with speed and being cool and confident. That’s me! I love to run around and play. And I have remained “cool” and un
