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.
UPDATE: Cece is currently in a foster-to-adopt home! We’re so excited that she’s getting the chance to experience life in a home while her foster family gets to see if they’re the perfect forever match. 🥰
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, and we’re keeping our fingers
crossed that this is the forever home she’s been waiting for.

Meet Diesel


This handsome meatball is looking for his forever home, and there’s just one little catch… Diesel needs to be your one and only. No other dogs. He’s simply not interested in an open relationship.
Diesel is sweet, lovable, full of personality, and has SO much love to give! He wants a person (or people) he can call his own and a home where he can soak up all the love and attention.
So, if you’ve got room in your house and your heart for one very handsome man, Diesel is waiting for you!
And hey… maybe you’ll become his Foster Fail parent.

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 Luna


This petite little sweetheart is Luna, and she is cute as a button! Luna is about
1–2 years old, 43.6 lbs, vaccinated, and she LOVES to be loved. Period.
Luna has already had puppies, and now it’s her turn to be spoiled, cherished, and shown just how good life can be. We need to make up for all the time she’s lost!
Luna definitely needs another dog in the home.
She loves having a canine friend around and would thrive with a furry sibling.
🚗 One thing we’ve learned about Luna: she’s not a fan of getting into the car on her own. BUT she will let you pick her up and put her in, and she gets out just fine! She’s a girl who may need a little help sometimes,
but she’ll give you plenty of love in return.
If you’re looking for a sweet, loving little companion who just wants to be loved and have
a doggy friend by her side, Luna could be your girl.
Could you be the family that gives Luna the happy ending she deserves?
Adoption fee includes their spay/neuter, rabies, chip, HW, distemper & poop test.
