Meet Diesel


Meet Diesel! Your 60-pound lap dog in a big-dog body!
Don’t let his size fool you… Diesel is a gentle giant, a total love bug, and firmly believes he belongs right in your lap! đâ¤ď¸
This handsome boy loves being around his people and will happily be your little shadow. His favorite activities? Lounging on the couch, going for walks (he walks great on a leash!), and soaking up ALL the love and attention he can get. Toys? He can take them or leave them. But cuddles? ALWAYS YES!
Diesel does need to be the only dog in the home, but trust us, this boy has more than enough personality
and love to fill your entire house.
Are you looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side, keep your couch warm, and probably
try to steal your seat and your lap? Diesel might just be your guy!

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?
â
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.
â
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.
â
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.
â
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 Nyla


Meet Nyla!
â
Nyla had a home for three years, but after getting out one day, she was found and her owners said they no longer wanted her. Now she finds herself in a kennel, confused about how the home she knew became a thing of the past.
Nyla is an incredibly sweet girl who is easy to walk on leash and loves spending time with people.
She is understandably very sad in the kennel, but underneath those sad eyes is a loving girl who just wants
to feel safe and loved again. Nyla deserves a second chance at a family who will see her as the wonderful
companion she is and never give up on her.

Meet Lottie


Lottie is estimated to be around 1–2 years old, and shelter life has been a little overwhelming for this sweet girl. The noise, unfamiliar faces, and being away from everything she knows have left her feeling shy and scared.
But here’s the thing about Lottie… she absolutely THRIVES outside of the kennel! She’s learning to trust the volunteers who are showing her kindness, but she desperately needs a chance to leave kennel life
behind and start feeling safe again.
Lottie deserves a place where she can decompress, feel loved, and let her true personality shine.
Could that place be with you?
