Sweet, affectionate, and eager to be near her people, she has a playful, loving presence that makes everyone who meets her fall in love instantly.

KALI

Spayed female, husky mix, 9 years old and 80 pounds

Some dogs are born to run and some, like Kali, are ready to finally rest. This beautiful senior Husky mix has lived a long life, but not all of it has been kind. She was left behind when she needed love the most, her muzzle gray with wisdom and her heart still full of hope.

Despite everything she’s been through, Kali hasn’t lost her gentle spirit. She greets each new person with quiet trust and soft eyes that seem to say, “I’m still here, and I still believe in love.” She knows her manners like sit, shake, and down and carries herself with the calm dignity of a dog who has seen a lot, but still chooses kindness. These days, Kali doesn’t ask for much. A warm bed, kind hands, and a family who will see her for the treasure she truly is. She dreams of a peaceful home where she can nap in a sunny spot, enjoy slow strolls, and know she’ll never be left behind again. If you have room in your heart and home for a loyal friend who simply wants a soft place to rest her old bones, Kali is waiting for you.

Give her the second chance she’s been waiting for and she’ll fill your days with quiet love and gentle gratitude. 💙

Ruddick is a 2-year-old male German Shepherd who loves life, loves people, and really loves his toys. He’s a social, joyful boy who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys making new friends wherever he goes. Smart as he is handsome, Ruddick proudly shows off his sit, shake, and down commands, and he’s always eager to learn more, especially if treats are involved. Unfortunately, Ruddick hasn’t had the stability he deserves just yet. Through no fault of his own, he has been adopted and returned twice, leaving him confused but still hopeful. Despite these setbacks, Ruddick’s spirit remains incredibly gentle and trusting. He’s ready for a family who will finally give him the permanent, loving home he’s been waiting for.

Ruddick will thrive in a home with a secure, well maintained fence where he can safely explore, play, and enjoy the world around him. In return, he’ll offer endless loyalty, affection, and the kind of companionship only a shepherd can give.

CRICKET

Female, Lab mix, 10 months old and 45 pounds

Every once in a while, a dog comes along who reminds you what resilience looks like, and that’s Cricket. This young chocolate Lab mix may have started life on the streets, but you’d never know it from the way her tail wags when she sees a friendly face. Cricket’s past is a mystery, but her future is full of promise. She’s still learning that the world can be a safe, kind place, and she’ll need a patient heart to help her build her confidence. With gentle guidance and love, she’s sure to bloom into the happy, playful pup she’s meant to be. She already shows glimpses of that joyful spirit she adores toys, lights up around other dogs, and melts into people she trusts. Every day, she gets a little braver, a little sillier, and a lot more loving.

Cricket is looking for a home that can offer her what she’s never had before: safety, consistency, and a family to call her own. In return, she’ll give you something even more special her trust, her gratitude, and her whole heart. 💛

DALLAS

Male, mixed breed, 5 years old and 75 pounds

Howdy, folks, Dallas here! I may not be a cowboy, but I sure know how to lasso hearts. I’m a big, lovable mix of who-knows-what (the best kind, if you ask me), somewhere around middle age — old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.

I’m a people-loving, treat-motivated, tail-wagging kind of guy. My motto? If you’ve got snacks, I’ve got tricks! I never met a squeaky toy I didn’t like, and my favorite pastime is making humans laugh with my goofy antics and “did-he-really-just-do-that?” expressions. I seem to get along with other dogs. I’m all about making friends and I’d love a home where I can join the family for all the fun stuff: walks, couch snuggles, and maybe a little taste-testing in the kitchen (strictly for quality control, of course).

If you’re looking for a big-hearted, silly, and endlessly loyal companion, come meet me! I promise to fill your days with smiles, slobbery kisses, and a little bit of Texas-sized charm. 💙
