Zaria turns six tomorrow! All she’s wishing for is her forever home.

Zaria is an affectionate, and loyal girl with a real zest for life. She is a medium energy dog who enjoys a play session, followed by a nap.

She benefits from slow introductions to other dogs. She would also be fine as an only dog. Zaria happily entertains herself with toys or a romp in the backyard. She has lived with cats and has for the most part ignored their presence. Zaria loves her people and enjoys making new human friends. She can be an enthusiastic greeter and sometimes forgets her size, so older dog-savvy children would be best for her. Zaria enjoys going for walks around the neighborhood and looks to her humans for reassurance and guidance in new situations.

Zaria is an intelligent girl and very eager to please. She knows a plethora of commands, and loves to learn new things every day. She is fully house trained and crate trained. Zaria enjoys relaxing in her crate throughout the day and sleeps soundly in it overnight. She is looking for an experienced and patient adopter who will continue to provide her with structure and routine so she can continue to be her best self.

Are you the lucky family who gets to add Zaria to your bunch?

*Zaria is part of our Foster to Adopt (FTA) program for prescription food.*

Meet Spice, the sweetest little nugget! This lower-energy lady can be on the shy side at first, but don’t let that fool you—once she gets to know you, she blossoms into the most loving girl. Spice is looking for a loving home where she’ll be appreciated for her wonderful demeanor and can build her confidence with the support of her forever family.
Spice isn’t the type to show all her cards when she first meets someone. She needs a little time to sniff and warm up, and then she’s all love and cuddles. Spice is great with other dogs and enjoys meeting cat friends, but will leave them alone if they aren’t interested in playing. She hasn’t met kids yet, but she’s so gentle that she would likely do great with dog-savvy kids who will let her approach at her own speed. While she enjoys playing ball and chewing on sticks, Spice is an independent lady who doesn’t mind being left alone to take a peaceful nap on her own.
Spice is both house- and crate-trained, making her an easy addition to a new home. Like any dog, she may need time to adjust to new routines, but she will happily hang out in her crate overnight without any fuss. Spice is good on her leash and loves treats—snacks are the way to her heart—which makes training her easy and fun!
Spice is the cutest little girl who will thrive with a family that loves her for who she is. Could that be you?

Drip has exactly two modes: zoomies or snoring like she pays rent 💤

This playful, adventurous girl loves to play and make the most of every squeaky toy but once she’s gotten her zoomies out, she’s more than happy to curl up for some serious cuddle time. Drip is house trained, crate trained, dog-friendly, and ready to bring the perfect mix of chaos and cozy to her forever home. 💗

Could Drip be the one for you?

Please check out her full bio on the
"Adoptable Dogs" page of our website and submit an adoption application (if you haven't already)!

Meet Drip! She is a playful and adventurous gal who is ready to join you in whatever you do! This energetic and go with the flow girl will do well in a home with or without a canine sibling, as long as she gets all the pets and snuggles that her sweet heart desires.

Drip gets along great with other dogs and loves to run around with her friends. She can get a little excited when she's playing, but she takes their correction well and adjusts. She would likely do best with older, dog-savvy kids given her affectionate nature. She focuses too much on cats (and chickens!) when meeting them, so she would do best in a home without any cats or other small creatures. She loves any ball or toy that goes squeak! After her playtime, she settles in her crate or will curl up with you for cuddle time.

This good girl is fully house trained and crate trained. She loves her crate and runs in for a treat. She may bark or a minute or two if she still sees you, but will then settle right in. Drip loves going for walks and is great on a leash, but is still working on her manners as she gets very excited when she meets new people or sees rogue squirrels. With consistency and patience she is sure to learn calm greetings.

Drip is a sweet girl who would love a family to share all her love with. Could yours be the one she's been waiting for?

*Drip is part of our Foster to Adopt (FTA) program for Apoquel.*

Meet the Burton sisters, Phoebe & Piper! 🐾❤️These two sweet girls were dumped in the South, but their past hasn’t stopped them from being the loving, playful pups they are today. From Phoebe’s playful spirit and love for a good chew toy to Piper’s gentle nature and enthusiasm for treats, each girl has her own special personality and so much love to give. 🥹

While they’ve shared their story as sisters, Phoebe and Piper are looking for separate forever homes and do NOT need to be adopted together. 🏡❤️ Could one of these beautiful girls be the perfect addition to your family?

Meet Kebo! This happy, affectionate pup with a playful personality and a big heart is guaranteed to steal your heart! 💖

Kebo is a fun guy who loves playtime, cuddles and spending time with people. He's just as happy running around the yard with a dog friend as he is relaxing nearby with a chew toy.

This sweet pup gets along wonderfully with other foster dogs, would likely do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids, and might do fine with or without a canine sibling ready to play! While he can be a little unsure meeting new people at first, he warms up with a bit of patience to show off his goofy, loving side.

He is both crate trained and house trained, goes into his crate easily on command even with distractions around, and picks up routines quickly because he's super food motivated. All this devoted, goofy boy needs now is a loving family to call his own!

Please check out his full bio on the “Adoptable Dogs” page of our website and submit an adoption application (if you haven’t already)!

Kebo is a happy, affectionate pup who loves playtime, cuddles, and spending time with his people. He has a playful personality and a big heart, and he’s just as happy running around the yard with a dog friend as he is relaxing nearby with a chew toy.

Kebo has gotten along well with other dogs in foster and would likely do well with or without a canine sibling that is ready to play. Kebo hasn’t lived with cats, and while he has barked at them through a fence, it’s not clear how he’d do with one in the home. He previously lived with a child and would likely do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids. Kebo can be a little unsure when meeting new people but warms up with a bit of time and patience. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate, goofy personality really shines. Kebo is both crate and house trained. He’ll go into his crate easily on command, even with distractions around, and is content to relax when needed. He’s very food motivated and picks up routines quickly, making him a fun dog to work with. Kebo is a sweet, devoted companion ready to bring joy and love to his forever family.

*Due to overwhelming interest Darcy is no longer accepting applications* Consider getting approved to adopt with us so you have a chance to be 1st in line next time! ❤️

Darcy is the sweetest, most lovable little guy, and he’s ready to steal your heart! He is playful, affectionate, and enjoys a good game of ball just as much as he loves curling up for some cozy snuggles.

Darcy is great with other dogs and dog-savvy cats. He plays well with dogs of all sizes and will play with cats if they're agreeable, but will leave them alone if not. Given his gentle, loving nature, he could most likely be a wonderful family dog as well. He is also both crate- and house-trained and walks nicely on a leash.

Darcy is a sweet little companion with a fun personality, a playful spirit, and lots of love to give. Could he be the perfect match for your family?
