Hi Everyone,
We were reached out to by a local dog mom for help to find a forever home for a special girl. Ella Bell is a 7 yr old shepherd who is beautiful, healthy and up to date on all her vetting.
Ella is healthy, energetic, loyal.
No papers but pure breed German Shepherd. 7 years old. Loves to swim and play ball. Very agile and athletic. A little shy until she knows you a bit. Very loyal and protective. Up to date on shots through end of August.
We would love to find a home for Ella that can give her lots of love and she would love a home that would enjoy doing activities with her. Whether it be swimming, hiking, walking or playing ball in the yard Ella is your girl. She also lives with another dog and a cat so that would be fine too with proper intro. We can set up a meet with Ella and her mom if interested. Please fill out our application if you would be interested in being Ella's forever. The only reason mom is letting her go is her living situation has changed and she is in need of moving to a smaller place and may not be able to have her dogs. The other dog we have found a long term foster for so she can try to find a place that she can eventually have her as she is her support dog.

Hey Everyone,
We are in need of someone that would be open to helping a sweet deserving girl out. Renee is a girl we tagged from the last call list about to lose her life for space. She was a shelter volunteer favorite. A young lab mix girl, dog and people friendly. The home Renee went to is a single working mom with young children and 2 cats. Also a first time dog mom. It has become apparent that Renee is not getting her needs met with time to get proper excersize and acclimation to the cats in the home. She now just needs some proper resocialization and energy outlet as she is being kept separated in different ways from the cats. She loves the kids and everyone she meets. She just needs someone who knows how to show her proper leadership to get her back to manners around other dogs as right now she has pent up energy and is over exuberant. We will have our trainer do sessions with anyone if needed to get this girl back to proper manners and how to be out and about. Before coming, in her TX foster home she loved chasing balls and playing with other dogs and she hasn't been getting that. 🥺If anyone is willing to foster or foster to adopt PLEASE reach out. She needs a spot to land so we can look for a forever home for her as she gets proper needs fulfilled. We would like to get her in a new spot as soon as possible. She really is a sweet girl.
(Est DOB 8/23/24)

🖤💙Hector🧡🤎
Ok everyone! We have an amazing boy that has waited way to long for his forever! Hector we rescued from being euthanized for space in the overcrowded shelter. He is SUCH a good boy! He is friendly to everyone he meets and dog friendly as well. He is that easy going "derpy" type which i mean in the best way. 🤗 He went on an out and about to the Randolph parade on the 4th of July and was a perfect boy and greeted everyone that said hi to him with affection. We think he would make a great family dog. His est DOB is 1/7/25 and he weighs about 75 lbs. If you would like to meet Hector PLEASE reach out. The application link is below, it does not commit you to anything but enables us to preapprove in case Hector ends up being the boy for you! 💞
He likes raspberries too and picked them all off his foster moms bush for her and ate them. 😄 see video in comments.
