Inky is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. She’s smart, affectionate, and ready to be part of a family that truly understands her breed. Could that be you? Learn More
3. Rogen: 8-year-old Basenji
Rogen is a calm, quiet, and gentle soul who enjoys the simple pleasures of life—being by your side, receiving love, and sharing peaceful moments. He thrives in a low-key environment and would do best in a home with children over 12 years old, as younger kids may be too much for his laid-back personality.
While he prefers a relaxed atmosphere, he does well with other calm dogs and wouldn’t mind having a quiet canine companion. Learn More
4. Rocky: 8-month-old American Foxhound
Rocky was rescued from euthanasia just before Christmas 2022 (at only 9 months old), so he’s been waiting a long time. Rocky is a sweet and loving boy that enjoys laying in the sun on tables and loves to hug.
This boy was 8 months old when he arrived at the county shelter. He remained there until his first birthday 4 months later, when he was gifted with a spot on the euthanasia list. The shelters were overcrowded with the growing need for space to support their new surrenders, and no one had shown any interest in adopting Rocky all that time. So, unfortunately, he had to go.

5. Sunny: 5-month-old Parti Goldendoodle
Sunny is a nearly 5-month-old Parti Goldendoodle, born on August 22, 2024. This little ball of energy is vaccinated, crate-trained, and full of love for life. Whether it’s playing outside on a beautiful day or meeting new people, Sunny is ready to bring joy to an active and experienced family.
Sunny is a bit timid when meeting new people but quickly warms up and becomes your best friend. He absolutely loves to play—whether it’s with his favorite toys or just running around outside. He’s also great with children over six years old and thrives in an environment with plenty of activity and attention. Learn More
6. Princess Gia: 4-year-old Pekingese-Pomeranian Mix
After being at the rescue for over nine months and watching all the other little girls in her playgroup having so much fun and receiving so much love, Princess Gia has decided…”Hey, why not me too?” She has made an absolutely remarkable transformation from the shy, scared girl she was when she arrived. Princess Gia is now happy, bright, and lively, and seeks out attention and playtime. She still loves to cuddle and receive affection, but now also loves to play, romp around, and just be silly. It’s almost as if she is smiling and jumping for joy, knowing there are loving humans she can trust and love (and other pups too).
Princess Gia is certainly a unique beauty, about 4 years old and 9 pounds. She is probably a Pomeranian mix, perhaps with some Pekingese. She walks okay on a leash but prefers to be loose in the yard. Princess Gia’s true, wonderful self has come out and is absolutely shining brightly. If you believe you are a great match for Princess Gia, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see this once shy, scared little girl become a happy, fun-spirited, playful pup. It is truly heartwarming. Learn More
