Meet Spinach - A Timid Girl with a Gentle Spirit

Spinach is a 6-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who weighs just 9.5 pounds. She's a very shy girl who is still working on feeling safe around people and new experiences. Handling and touch are still quite scary for her, but with time and a calm, supportive environment, she's slowly starting to adjust.

Though people make her nervous, Spinach finds comfort in the company of other dogs and will need a confident canine companion in the home to help guide her. She tends to hang back at first, but she watches everything with quiet curiosity and is beginning to take in the routines of home life.

Spinach is looking for an experienced adopter who will give her the space and support she needs to build trust. With patience and another pup by her side, she has the potential to blossom into a more confident and comfortable dog.

Meet Gus - A Gentle Little Guy Learning How to Trust

Gus is an 8-year-old, 9.5-pound Miniature Schnauzer who's just starting to explore the world beyond his comfort zone. He's a nervous boy, but he's showing small, meaningful signs of progress as he begins to learn that people can be kind and patient.

Gus loves other dogs and feels most at ease when he's around them. A confident canine friend will be essential to help guide him and show him that the world isn't so scary. While he's still unsure around people, Gus will take chicken from your hand-as long as it's placed flat on the ground first. It's a small step, but one we're very excited about.

He's also working on getting used to being picked up with a towel and is starting to tolerate gentle handling in short sessions. He'll need an experienced adopter who understands fearful dogs and can continue helping him learn that human contact can be safe and positive.

Because of his sensitivity, Gus will need a second meet and greet prior to adoption to help him build comfort with his new family before heading home.

With time, consistency, and another dog by his side, Gus has the potential to grow into a more confident companion. He's a sweet, sensitive little pup who just needs the right environment to feel secure enough to blossom.

Meet Penelope - A Sweet Girl with a Gentle Spirit and a Love for Chicken

Penelope is a 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who weighs 19 pounds and brings a quiet sweetness to every moment. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time-and maybe a piece of chicken-and you'll quickly see her warm, affectionate side start to shine.

Though reserved at first, Penelope is gentle and kind once she begins to trust. She enjoys calm environments, soft voices, and the comfort of a routine. Her favorite thing? Chicken treats, of course! They're a sure way to her heart and a great tool for helping her continue to build confidence.

Penelope may need a confident, established dog in the home to help guide her and provide reassurance as she settles into her new environment.

She would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can take her time and feel safe every step of the way. With encouragement and gentle care, she'll become a loyal, devoted companion-one who greets you with quiet affection and a hopeful heart.

Meet Rosco - A Gentle Soul Learning to Trust

Rosco is a 6-year-old Shiba Inu weighing 31.5 pounds who is still learning that the world can be a kind and gentle place. Right now, Rosco is very fearful and unsure of human interaction. He is not yet ready for pets or close contact, but with time, patience, and the right environment, there is so much potential for this sweet boy to grow.

Rosco finds comfort in the presence of other dogs and may benefit greatly from having a confident canine companion in the home to help guide him. A calm, consistent routine and a gentle approach will be key to helping him feel safe as he slowly adjusts to new surroundings and begins to trust. A meet and greet at the shelter is needed to ensure it's a good match.

Rosco will require a securely fenced yard, where he can safely explore and move at his own pace while building confidence in a safe environment.

Despite his fears, Rosco has a quiet charm about him and deserves a home that will give him the time and space he needs. Watching him make progress-even the smallest step-will be a truly meaningful and rewarding experience.

Queso is an 8-year-old neutered male Miniature Poodle weighing 12 pounds. This sweet little guy may be shy and sensitive at first, but beneath his cautious exterior lies a gentle heart ready to learn what it means to be loved. Queso has not had much experience with people, so new situations can feel overwhelming, but with patience and kindness he will begin to show his softer, more trusting side.

One of Queso's greatest comforts is the company of other dogs. He absolutely adores them and looks to them for reassurance, which is why he will do best in a home with a calm, confident canine companion to guide him. Having another dog by his side will not only help him feel secure, but will also show him how to navigate daily life as part of a family.

Queso is searching for a quiet, patient home where he will be given the time and space he needs to blossom. Consistency, a gentle approach, and understanding will be the keys to helping him build confidence and settle in. In return, Queso has so much love to give, and watching him grow into himself will be an incredibly rewarding experience for his adopter.

HIGHLIGHT:
- Needs another confident dog in the home

Marbles is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd who weighs 40 pounds.

Every day is a learning opportunity for Marbles as she slowly discovers what it means to be part of a family.

She will thrive in a patient and loving home where she can set her own pace and feel safe while she builds trust. Marbles isn't quite sure yet how fun being a dog can be, but with the right family cheering her on, she'll begin to blossom and let her sweet personality shine.

One thing that will make a huge difference for Marbles is having another confident, friendly dog in the home. A canine companion will help her feel more secure and serve as a role model while she learns how to navigate the routines of daily life.

With time, kindness, and the steady reassurance of a doggy friend, Marbles is sure to become a loyal and loving companion. She's ready to start her journey and is just waiting for the right family to help her find her way.
