UPDATE: Taco and Bella have been adopted! Congratulations! ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿ’œ They came in together. They'll leave together. That's just how it is.

Taco didn't arrive knowing who he was. He was overweight, uncertain, and still figuring things out. But then foster care happened โ€” and so did Bella โ€” and slowly, the dog he was always meant to be started showing up. These days he's a fluffy, fetch-obsessed, lap-seeking, deeply loyal Taco Bear who hasn't had a single accident since day one. He does best with calm guidance and a home without young children, but with the right people, he gives everything he's got.

Bella has always known exactly who she is. She's the one who trots over with a toy to say hello. The one who sunbathes without a care. The one who somehow keeps everyone in the house laughing, all while managing diabetes like a total pro (twice-daily insulin, special diet, zero complaints). A little vision impairment? Bella does not acknowledge it.

At 8 years old, these two aren't looking for adventure โ€” they're looking for home. Gentle walks. Cozy afternoons. Someone who sees them and says, yes, both of you, obviously.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read their full bios and adoption details on our website.

Stella is a nine-year-old German Shepherd weighing 68 pounds, with a gentle heart and a wonderfully sweet, docile temperament. This lovely girl has so much love to give and truly enjoys attention from the people she trusts. Whether sheโ€™s relaxing by your side or soaking up affection, Stellaโ€™s calm presence makes her a comforting companion.

While Stella is incredibly sweet, she can still feel nervous in new environments and remains sensitive to the world around her. She does best with patient, understanding people who are willing to move at her pace and be mindful when introducing her to new experiences, people, and surroundings. With time and reassurance, Stella continues to build confidence and settle in more comfortably.

Stella also thrives around her canine companions and looks to other dogs for comfort and reassurance. Because of this, she requires another confident dog in the home to help her feel safe and secure as she adjusts. A meet and greet with any resident dogs at the shelter will also be required to ensure everyone is a good fit.

With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, Stella will make a deeply loyal and loving companion for someone willing to give her the understanding she deserves.

UPDATE: Julie Ann has been adopted! Congratulations! ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰

Julie Ann is a 7-year-old Dachshund weighing 16.6 pounds. She is a sweet and shy girl who gets along well with other dogs and is friendly with her people. Julie Ann may take a little time to adjust to a new environment, but with patience and understanding, her gentle personality shines through.

She would do best with adopters who can give her the time she needs to feel comfortable and secure in her new home. Once settled in, Julie Ann is a loving companion who enjoys being part of the family.

At our shelter, we require an in-person meet and greet to ensure the best fit for both Julie Ann and her potential adopters.

Rona is a seven-year-old Miniature Poodle weighing just 7 pounds, with a gentle spirit and a quiet sweetness that shines through more each day. This little girl may be shy at first, but behind her cautious nature is a loving companion who is slowly learning that the world can be a safe and comforting place.

Rona truly enjoys the company of other canine friends and finds confidence in being around calm, friendly dogs. Because of this, she requires another confident dog in the home to help guide her and make her feel more secure as she settles into her new environment.

She is still learning to feel comfortable around humans and is looking for a patient adopter who is willing to move slowly and let her adjust at her own pace. Rona will thrive in a calm, understanding home where she is given the time, space, and reassurance she needs to continue building trust and confidence.

A securely fenced yard is also required so Rona can safely explore her surroundings and continue gaining confidence in a comfortable environment.

With patience, kindness, and the support of a confident canine companion, Rona has all the potential to blossom into a devoted little friend who will quietly steal your heart.

Jett is a lively 2-year-old Boxer mix Boxer who weighs 67 pounds and has a fun-loving personality with a heart full of sweetness.

Jett has some mild allergies and is currently managed on a prescription diet and monthly injections to keep him comfortable and feeling his best.

He is still learning the ropes of being a family dog and will benefit from continued training and socialization to help him grow into a well-mannered adult. With patience and consistency, he will blossom into a loyal and loving best friend.
