The sunshine is bright, and our pups could not be happier! ☀️🐾

After some cloudy and rainy days, our dogs have been soaking up every minute of this beautiful weather. Whether they're running around the play yard, exploring on walks, or simply stretching out in a sunny spot, these pups are loving the chance to enjoy the great outdoors.

The forecast says we have more beautiful weather ahead, and our dogs are definitely excited about it! But even when the clouds roll back in, many of them are still waiting for a little sunshine of their own... a loving family to call their forever home. ❤️

Could you be the bright spot they've been waiting for?

These wonderful dogs are some of our longtime residents here at RMS, currently living in our “Big Kennels” area, and we are so excited to finally shine a spotlight on them!

This section is home to some of our medium sized dogs, each with their own unique background, personality, and story. While they are all different in their own ways, they share one very important thing in common, they have grown up in the shelter and are still hoping for their forever families.

Each of these dogs has been overlooked for a variety of reasons, whether it is how they present in a kennel, their age, their past, or simply being a little misunderstood. But none of those things take away from who they truly are.

Once you get to know them outside of the kennel, you will find playful personalities, sweet hearts, goofy moments, and so much love waiting to be shared. They may just need a little extra patience and a slow, gentle approach as they settle into a home, but they are so worth it.

Every one of these dogs has their own profile linked in the bio of their picture, where you can read more about them, see extra photos, and learn what makes each of them special.

The adoption application is also included on each profile link, and will be linked below as well.

Fagan is a 1 year and 2 month old mixed breed girl with a bright and adventurous spirit! She weighs around 35 pounds and has grown from a curious puppy into a fun, confident young dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart!

After spending time in foster care over the past couple of months, we’ve gotten to know Fagan’s true personality, and she is such a wonderful girl! She is playful, curious, and loves exploring the world around her. Fagan enjoys going on adventures and still has that puppy-like excitement for new places, people, and experiences!

She has made great progress with her leash manners and continues to improve with consistency and guidance. Like any young dog, she will thrive in a home that is ready to continue her basic training, provide structure, and help her keep building confidence and good habits!

Fagan is expected to remain a medium-sized dog, and she has shown she would likely do well in a home with children and other dogs. She has a social, friendly nature and enjoys being part of the action, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out with her people!

Now that she is out of her early puppy stage, Fagan has blossomed into a fun, affectionate, and engaging companion who is ready for her next chapter. She would love an active, loving home where she can keep learning, exploring, and being part of a family!

Lizzy Olive is a 2-year-old mixed breed girl weighing around 30 pounds, and she has the biggest, happiest heart! While Lizzy can be a little nervous and shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly once she realizes she's safe. After that, her sweet, loving personality shines through, and you'll have a loyal companion by your side!

After being found as a stray with her puppies, Lizzy has blossomed into such a wonderful dog. She is gentle, affectionate, and easygoing, bringing a warm and happy presence everywhere she goes! She loves spending time with her people and is always ready for cuddles, attention, and affection!

Lizzy is the kind of dog who makes life better simply by being in it. She's easy to handle, enjoys being around people, and has a calm, relaxed personality. While she's generally laid back, she still enjoys playing with other dogs and having fun when the opportunity arises!

One of Lizzy's favorite things is spending time outside, especially lounging in the yard and soaking up the sunshine. She's perfectly content relaxing by your side, whether you're enjoying a beautiful day outdoors or having a cozy day inside!

Lizzy does well with both dogs and cats, making her a great fit for many different homes! She is a sweet, loving girl who is ready to find people who will cherish her as much as she'll cherish them.

When Lizzy first came to us, we discovered she had a vaginal prolapse. She underwent corrective surgery and completed a month-and-a-half-long recovery, and everything healed beautifully. Unfortunately, we then learned that Lizzy is heartworm positive. She has now started the heartworm treatment process and is looking for a foster home where she can relax while she completes her treatment.

During treatment, Lizzy will need a calm environment with limited activity so she can safely recover. Once her treatment is complete in a few months, she will be available for adoption. For now, she is available for fostering, with the potential for a foster-to-adopt placement once her treatment has been successfully completed.

Lizzy has overcome so much already, and through it all she has remained incredibly sweet, loving, and resilient. If you're looking for a gentle companion who enjoys the simple things in life and has so much love to give, Lizzy Olive may be the perfect match for you!

If you are interested in fostering Lizzy, please fill out the application below!

Please note: Potential foster homes must be local to the area, as Lizzy will need to return for heartworm treatments and any necessary medical care throughout her recovery. Applicants must also be at least 21 years of age.

🐾 Meet the K Litter! 🐾

These adorable 9 week old mixed breed puppies are ready to start searching for their forever families! After being found as strays with their siblings, these sweet pups came to us through a rescue partner and have been spending their time growing, learning, and having fun in foster care.

The K Litter is everything you could want in a puppy group! They are sweet, happy, playful, and full of love. Their days are filled with playing, wrestling with their siblings, and soaking up all the affection they can get. Thanks to their time in foster care, we've been able to see their wonderful personalities begin to shine!

These puppies would make fantastic companions for families with children and other dogs. While we are unsure how they would do with cats, we believe they would likely adjust well with proper introductions and supervision.

As young puppies, they are still learning about the world around them. Their future families should be prepared to provide patience, guidance, and training as they learn house manners and continue growing into amazing adult dogs.

We expect these pups to be around 50-55 pounds when fully grown, making them the perfect medium-sized companions for adventures, family outings, and plenty of snuggles!

They must also be adopted locally, as they are still too young to be spayed or neutered. Spay or neuter is mandatory, scheduled, and included in the $200 adoption fee.

If you're looking to add some puppy love, laughter, and happiness to your home, one of our K Litter pups may be the perfect match for you!

These puppies are currently in foster care. In order to meet them, applications must be approved and have a scheduled appointment. Online adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CONC/Dog

After being found as strays, these sweet pups came to us through a rescue partner and have been thriving in foster care ever since. Thanks to their foster family, we've been able to watch their personalities shine, and they are everything you could want in a puppy!

These puppies are full of love, playfulness, and puppy fun! They spend their days wrestling with their siblings, running around, and soaking up all the attention they can get. They are happy, affectionate puppies who are always ready to make new friends and brighten someone's day!

These pups would make wonderful companions for families with children and other dogs. While we are unsure how they would do with cats, we believe they would likely do well with proper introductions and guidance.

As with any young puppy, their future families should be prepared for all the joys and challenges that come with puppyhood! They are still learning about the world and will need patience, consistency, and training as they learn house manners and grow into wonderful adult dogs.

We expect these pups to be around 40-50 pounds when fully grown, making them the perfect medium-sized companions for adventures, family time, and plenty of cuddles!

They must also be adopted locally, as they are still too young to be spayed or neutered. Spay or neuter is mandatory, scheduled, and included in the $200 adoption fee.

If you're looking for a happy, loving puppy to add to your family, one of our I Litter pups may be the perfect match for you!
