Do you love dogs but don’t have any of your own? We need you!

In rescue, we call homes without resident dogs “unicorn homes” because they’re incredibly rare—and incredibly important.

Some of our dogs absolutely adore people. They want to go on adventures, learn new things, binge-watch TV on the couch, and be your best friend. The only catch? They prefer not to share their humans with other dogs.

That’s where our unicorn homes come in.

If you’ve been thinking about fostering or adopting but don’t currently have pets, you could be the perfect match for one of these deserving dogs. By opening your home, you’re giving them the chance to thrive while helping us save even more lives.

Think you might be a unicorn? Fill out an adoption survey or fostering application and we’ll match you up with one of our people-loving pups.

🥥🐾 Meet Coconut! 🐾🥥

If you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy, Coconut might be your perfect match!

This playful, social girl is always ready for whatever the day brings. She would love an active family that can keep her busy with walks, adventures, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to learn new things.

Like any puppy, Coconut is still working on her basic manners and will need a family committed to continuing her training. The good news? She’s bright, motivated, and ready to learn!

If you’re looking for a happy, active companion who will keep you smiling and make training a rewarding experience, Coconut is ready to meet you. ❤️

🐾 24 Hours with Fletcher 🐾

After just one day in foster care, Fletcher is already proving what a great little guy he is!

This chill dude is perfectly happy wandering around with a stuffy in his mouth, taking life one toy at a time. He settles quietly in his crate at night—you can barely tell he's there—and has been an absolute delight to have around.

Don't let his laid-back personality fool you, though. Fletcher also has some impressive zoomie and parkour skills when the mood strikes!

His favorite things? Snuggling on the couch, belly rubs, and just hanging out with his people.

So far, Fletcher has been the perfect mix of calm companion and playful pup. We can't wait to see him find his forever family! ❤️

Meet Onyx: Sweet, Goofy, Loyal!
I am a 6-year-old Boxer girl weighing in at a solid 74 lbs, and I am ready to be your absolute best friend. Ball is officially my life, so you can count me in for every single hiking, swimming, and running adventure before I squeeze my big self right into your lap for serious cuddle time. I thrive on one-on-one connections in a structured, active home where it's all about me—meaning no other dogs or kiddos under 12, just pure devotion to my favorite grown-ups!

Let’s get this adventure started! Schedule a meet-and-greet with Onyx by submitting an Adoption Survey today (see the ‘Adopt’ page on our website)!

🐾 Ayyy! Sit on It, Loneliness — Adopt a Happy Days Puppy! 🐾

Attention dog lovers, TV fans, and people who make eye contact with every puppy they pass:
A litter of adorable puppies is officially available for adoption, and they're bringing more charm than a jukebox full of 1950s hits. Inspired by the classic Happy Days crew, these pups are ready to star in their own sitcom—preferably from the comfort of your living room.

Happy Days are here again—and they have four paws and a tendency to chew shoelaces. 🐾❤️
