Gouda came to us after his leash got stuck on a porch. Knowing that he had a leash on tells us that he was owned but unfortunatly his owner never came for him. Now he's looking for a permant spot to call home. Gouda is a very affectionate boy. He prefers to be cuddled up on someone if he can help it. Gouda loves to play with other dogs as well.

Meet Tito! We often do not have a lot of information on strays that come in but lucky Tito had people looking out for him! They were able to give us a bit of info. According to the finders, Tito knows sit (that one we've proved), is potty trained, and will not take a ball out of your hand until you tell him okay. He is friendly and playful with people.

❗️❗️24 HOUR FINAL CALL❗️❗️
DEADLINE- Tuesday 6/09/2026 @ 12pm

Our at-risk list represents dogs that are in need of immediate placement. Contact information at bottom of post.

Corndog Animal ID #: 60966647, 4 year old Shepherd mix, neutered male, 69lbs, HW negative, moderate energy, dog social. Corndog, like a lot of dogs, is not suited for the shelter environment. Unfortunately this is causing him much more stress than normal and he is deteriorating quickly. When he is outside of the kennel, going for a walk or playing in the yard, he is an entirely different dog. Calm, loving, sweet, and gentle. We believe that in a home he would be fantastic but he needs that home to find him soon.

Cleatus Animal ID #: 60723474, 5 year old Mixed breed, neutered male, 42lbs, HW positive, moderate energy, dog social. **Adoption fee sponsored by The Carlee Cause Foundation!🩷** Cleatus is a very sweet boy who loves treats and cuddles. He has done well with other dogs in playgroups. Link to more info: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1E2qnyMQCx/
