Meet Bethoven! 🎶

Super Smart • Playful • Future Best Friend 4-Ever

Hey there! I’m Bethoven—but my mom calls me Big B! I’m a super smart, super fun, and super cuddly Collie mix who’s ready to find my forever family. Trust me, I will make you the happiest family EVER!

I’ve got energy for days—I love:

🐾 Running and playing

🐾 Long walks or jogs

🐾 Splashing around with the garden hose (seriously, it’s the best thing ever!)

🐾 Playing with doggy siblings—I’m the best at starting the fun!

I’m not an apartment guy—I need space to zoom, explore, and be my goofy self. A home with a fenced yard is a must!

I’m the best dog brother you’ll ever meet! I love to play, I love to cuddle, and I’ll always be by your side. I’ve still got some puppy energy, and while I never bite, I’m still a little “mouthy” when I play because, hey, I’m working on growing up!

Here’s what I need:

✔️ An active family who loves to play

✔️ A home with a fenced yard (No apartments or mobile homes, please!)

✔️ Someone ready for a lifetime best friend

I know I’ll be the best dog you’ve ever had. I’m just waiting to find my people. Could that be you?

Let’s go on adventures, play in the hose, and become best friends—4-EVER! 🎾🐾

8/8/26: handsome Finlay has made his new family complete!

08/06/2026

Nova is a smart, affectionate, playful young dog who loves being close to her people. Born in April 2024, she forms strong bonds and truly thrives when she gets individual attention and time to connect.

While Nova enjoys playtime and interactive toys, she also has a very calm, cuddly side. One-on-one, she is happy to relax beside you on the couch, watch TV, and simply enjoy being near her person.

She currently lives in a very busy foster home with multiple dogs, so a lot of her excitement comes from finally getting opportunities for attention, play, and engagement. When her emotional and physical needs are met, Nova settles nicely and shows what a loving companion she really is.
