SLY

Male, Shepherd mix, 10 months old 8/26 and 68 pounds

Sly is a goofy, playful, and slightly aloof 10-month-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find his forever home! He’s your typical young Shepherd. Smart, energetic, curious, and always ready for some fun.

At this age, Sly still has plenty of puppy energy and will benefit from an owner who is willing to put some time into basic obedience and training. He’s a smart boy who just needs someone to show him the ropes and help him grow into the amazing adult dog he’s meant to be.

Sly may be a little aloof at first, but once he gets comfortable, his playful personality shines through. He’ll need a proper introduction to any potential canine playmates, but with the right match, he may enjoy having a dog friend.

If you’re looking for a fun, active, goofy Shepherd to join you on life’s adventures, Sly could be your guy!

PEPITA

Female, kelpie mix, 1 year old and 41 pounds

If you’re looking for a sweet, happy, high-energy adventure buddy, Pepita may be your girl! This adorable Kelpie mix is about a year old and seems to wake up every morning ready to ask, “So…what are we doing today?” 😄

Pepita is full of personality, loves being on the go, and would thrive with an active family who can keep her body and her busy Kelpie brain entertained. Walks, hikes, playtime, training, and adventures are all right up her alley!

When meeting other dogs, Pepita can be a little vocal and frustrated if she can’t immediately go say hello. However, she has lived successfully with another female dog and tested well with a large male dog. She’ll likely benefit from slow, appropriate introductions and continued guidance with her dog-to-dog manners.

Pepita does have a prey drive toward small animals, so a home without cats or other small pets would be the safest fit.

Underneath all that energy is a sweet, joyful girl who is ready to have fun and find her person. If your idea of a good time involves staying active, exploring, and having a four-legged sidekick by your side, Pepita is ready for her next adventure!

SPIRIT

Female, mixed breed, 1 year old and 45 pounds

Spirit is a one-year-old mixed-breed girl with ENERGY to spare! This playful, happy girl loves toys, loves to play, and is always ready for her next adventure. If you’re looking for a fun, active companion who will keep you on your toes, Spirit could be your girl!

Spirit has lived with another dog and gets very excited when she sees other canine friends. She’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to new dogs... Not because she doesn’t like them, but because she hasn’t quite mastered the art of saying “Hi!” without coming on a little too strong! With some guidance and positive training, she can learn how to approach her new friends appropriately.

Spirit will also benefit from basic obedience training to help her learn some manners and channel all that enthusiasm in the right direction. She’s smart, playful, and eager to have fun, making her a great candidate for an adopter who enjoys an active lifestyle and is ready to put in a little training time.

If you’re looking for a goofy, energetic, toy-loving best friend who is ready to learn and grow with you, come meet Spirit!

OLAF

Male, husky mix, 1 year old and 31 pounds

This handsome all-white Husky mix is full of personality—and yes, he has the classic Husky vocal talents to prove it! Olaf is a fun, expressive guy who loves having something to say.

He seems to really enjoy the ladies and has been friendly with the women he’s met. He can be a little wary of some men, so he’ll do best with someone who is willing to let him take his time and build trust. Olaf has been around other dogs, but he isn’t necessarily interested in having another dog constantly in his personal space. A respectful canine companion may be a good match, with a proper introduction.

Olaf will need a home with secure fencing and an owner who is ready to work with him on some basic obedience. Huskies are smart, independent, and notorious escape artists, so Olaf will need a family willing to keep his mind and body busy.

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, talkative, entertaining companion with plenty of personality, Olaf just might be your guy!

SMILEY

Neutered, Dogo mix, 3 years old and 55 pounds

Our hard-luck boy is hoping for a second chance. ❤️ Smiley first came to the shelter in December 2025, severely malnourished and weighing just 34 pounds. He immediately went into the care of our dedicated team, who worked hard to get him healthy and ready for a new life. Even so, it would be another 7 months before Smiley got his first chance at a home. In July 2026, Smiley was adopted by a family who quickly fell in love with him. He initially settled into the home beautifully, but unfortunately, some issues soon developed between Smiley and the family's other dog. After evaluation with a behaviorist, we discovered something important about Smiley: he is deaf. Because Smiley cannot hear what's happening around him, he can be easily startled when he's sleeping or otherwise unaware of his surroundings. When the resident dog would approach him unexpectedly in an attempt to play, Smiley sometimes reacted poorly to the surprise. His family was heartbroken but ultimately made the incredibly difficult decision to return Smiley to the shelter in hopes of finding him a home where he can truly thrive. We believe Smiley would do best as the only dog in the home and in an environment that is calm, predictable, and allows him to feel secure. And in every other respect, Smiley SHINES! ✨ He is wonderful with people, friendly, playful, and—true to his name—always smiling! 😁 You may also remember Smiley from one of our previous posts about his Happy Tail. This condition can happen when a dog wags their tail so enthusiastically that repeated impact against hard kennel walls causes recurring injuries. With Smiley's famously happy tail, we're especially eager to see him back in a home where he has the space and comfort to let that tail wag freely! This special boy has already overcome so much. All he needs now is someone willing to understand him, give him the environment he needs, and show him that his second chance can be the one that lasts forever. ❤️ Are you interested in meeting Smiley?
