GINGER

Female, Doberman, 6 months old and 48 pounds

This beautiful 6-month-old Doberman puppy has already overcome more than any young dog should. She and her siblings were left to fend for themselves and arrived at the shelter far too thin, but with care, good food, and love, she’s gaining weight, growing stronger, and showing everyone just how special she is. Now that she’s feeling better, her true personality is shining through. She’s goofy, playful, and incredibly sweet, with that classic Doberman curiosity and affection. She loves attention and is eager to be part of the fun, even if she’s still figuring out the world. As a young pup, she’ll need basic obedience training and continued socialization with other dogs to help her grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. With patience, consistency, and love, she has all the potential to become an amazing family dog.

This resilient girl is ready to leave her rough start behind and begin a new chapter filled with safety, guidance, and happiness. If you’re looking for a hopeful story you can be part of—and a loyal, loving friend, she may be the one for you

WILLOW

Spayed female, Beagle, 12 years young and 40 pounds

14-year-old beagle needing a loving home to keep warm this winter. While being fostered, she was well behaved indoors but needs to be in a dog free environment! She thrives and behaves best as the only pet and wants all the love to herself. In her old age, all she wants is a cozy warm area to take long naps during the day. She doesn’t seem to hear super well, so using commands and calling her name is not very reliable. She walks very well on a leash and has short playful bursts of energy. She gets really cold, so she loves to have extra blankets and even a jacket/sweater.

PEPPER

Female, pitbull mix, 1 year old and 53 pounds

Pepper will thrive with an active family who can provide her with daily exercise and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether it’s a walk, a jog, or a good play session in the yard, she’s happiest when she’s moving and spending time with her humans.

She gets along well with people and has shown lots of friendliness, but she’ll need proper, slow introductions to any potential canine siblings to ensure everyone gets off on the right paw.

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. 💙

EASY DAY

18 year old retired racehorse

Easy Day is an 18-year-old retired racehorse with a heart as soft as her name suggests. She left the track at age 5 and has spent her post-racing years enjoying a quieter life. While we don’t have details about her past training, she’s affectionate, loves attention, and especially enjoys being groomed- she’ll happily stand for a good brushing session.

She has mild ringbone in her left hind leg, but our vet believes she’s still suitable for light riding. Easy Day would thrive in a calm, patient environment with someone who understands horses and can offer her consistency and care.

Note: She can be difficult to load into a trailer, so she’ll do best with an experienced handler who can work with her gently and confidently.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion with a lot of love to give, Easy Day might be your perfect match.

Female, shar-pei mix, 5 years old and 65 pounds

Betty is a quiet soul with the softest eyes and the gentlest heart. Found abandoned, underweight, and suffering from skin issues, this 5-year-old girl has already been through so much. But thanks to some much-needed care and kindness, Betty is finally starting to heal — both inside and out. She’s still learning that people can be good and that the world doesn’t have to be so scary. Right now, she’s a bit shy and reserved, preferring to observe from a safe distance as she takes everything in. But with time, patience, and a calm environment, we know she’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion. We’re still getting to know Betty, but what we do know is that she deserves a forever home that will love her unconditionally and give her all the time she needs to feel safe and secure.
