Meet CeCe


Cece came to us as a stray, and when we found out she was microchipped,
we were hopeful she’d be reunited with her family.
Sadly, no one ever came for her. Another dog left behind by the people who were supposed to love her.
Despite that, Cece is still one of the happiest, most loving girls you could meet. At approximately 2 years old and 65 lbs, she’s full of life, loves car rides, and has quickly become a volunteer favorite since arriving in lockup on 5/3. She’s dog friendly, up to date on vaccinations, and will be spayed and microchipped soon.
Most importantly, Cece is ready for a fresh start and a family who will love her forever.
She has so much love left to give, now she just needs a home of her own.
Adoption fee includes their spay/neuter, rabies, chip, HW, distemper & poop test.

Heidi is a sweet, loving, chunky little lady who is ready to find the forever family she's been waiting for! At approximately 2 years old and 60 pounds, this adorable girl has the perfect mix of affection and charm.
Heidi is fully vaccinated and has quickly become a volunteer favorite. She absolutely loves people and isn't shy about showing it, expect plenty of kisses and endless love from this happy girl! Whether you're going for a stroll or heading out on an adventure, Heidi is happy to be by your side. She walks beautifully on a leash and is an excellent passenger in the car, making her the perfect companion for outings.
Heidi is currently being treated for a skin condition, but it doesn't slow her down or dampen her sweet spirit. She's simply looking for a family who will continue her care and, most importantly, shower her with the love she so freely gives.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a heart as big as her smile, Heidi may just be the perfect match for you.

Meet Cremini


We hardly ever know the story of how our dogs become homeless, but when we do... it's usually not a happy one.
This sweet girl arrived at our shelter as a stray. She was spayed and microchipped, so we were sure someone had to be looking for her. Someone had given her a name. Someone had loved her... right?
When we contacted the person listed on her microchip, this was the response:
"Hello, thank you for reaching out! I gave Nola away a few months ago before I moved.
Her current owner passed a few weeks ago, which is probably how she got away. I apologize, I didn't realize her chip was still attached to my information."
The part that broke our hearts? They never even asked if she was okay.
Two different homes... only to end up alone on the streets.
Despite everything she's been through, this sweet girl hasn't let people change who she is. She's incredibly loving, gentle, and just wants to be close to her people. She was wonderful during her bath, had an absolute blast playing outside, and was happiest simply resting in the grass with someone by her side.
The best way to describe her? She's a marshmallow angel in the body of a small tank engine. She lives for affection, will happily lean against you while you rub her big square head, and would accept a million pets without complaint. She's definitely a "Velcro dog" who wants to be as close to you as possible and yes, she gives plenty of slobbery kisses, so consider yourself warned.
She has every reason not to trust people, yet she chooses love anyway.
Let's make sure her next chapter is the one she deserves. Please help us find this beautiful girl a forever home where she'll never have to wonder if she's wanted again.

Meet Pebbles


Introducing Pebbles!
This adorable little seal found herself in lockup after a kind-hearted Good Samaritan discovered her near Memorial Park. Despite our best efforts, she wasn't microchipped and no one has come forward to claim her.
Pebbles visited our vet and is estimated to be around 1½ years old. She's a compact 50-pound "short stack" with the cutest little snorts, a lovable personality, and plenty of charm.
The best way to describe Pebbles? She's a marshmallow angel in the body of a small tank engine. She lives for affection and would happily accept a million pets if you'd let her. Her favorite place is right by your side, leaning against you while you scratch her big, square head. After her vet visit, we spent some time relaxing together in the grass, and she was perfectly content just soaking up the love and enjoying the moment.
Now all Pebbles needs is a family to call her own. Could that be you?
