Available for Adoption: Ringo 🐾
2-year-old Ringo was sadly dropped off in our outside pin on May 17th. Despite his rough start, he is a sweet, playful soul looking for a family to love him forever. Ringo appears to have spent most of his life outdoors, so he will need some patience and work with leash training, but he is eager for attention and affection.
If you’re looking for a lovable companion and are willing to help him learn, Ringo may be the perfect fit for you. ❤️

Available for Adoption: Scout 🐾

1½-year-old Scout was sadly returned to us after being adopted last November. His loving papa is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments and needs to focus on his health, and no longer has the strength to handle this sweet boy who has grown quite a bit since we last saw him. ❤️

Scout is housebroken, crate trained, and great with kids, cats, and other dogs. He is a lovable companion looking for another chance at a forever home.

Available for Adoption: Blitz ⚡🐾
Blitz is a 6-month-old bundle of energy looking for a home that can provide structure, training, and plenty of love.
This energetic young fellow is kennel trained and eager to learn, but he will need basic manners training to help him channel his enthusiasm in positive ways. Blitz would do best as the only pet in the home, and because he plays too rough, he is not recommended for families with small children.
With patience, consistency, and exercise, Blitz has the potential to grow into a wonderful companion.
