Bing B**g the second has had four homes that we know of. Five if you count the shelter. In his only two years of life he hasn't had any stability or a real place to call home. Is it because of some crazy behavior or extreme health issue? No. Every time he has been surrendered or rehomed it hasn't been his fault. He is a sweet, affectionate, playful guy who gets along well with other dogs. He learns quick and, aside from a minor ear infection, appears to be perfectly healthy. Bing B**g is just a wonderful dog who has been let down many times over. We hope to find him a home that will finally be his forever.

Petey is a sweetie! This cutie loves to climb into your lap for cuddles when he can. He also enjoys a good romp around the yard and all the snacks you can spare! Petey has done well in playgroups with other dogs.

Our doggy daycations are a great way for our volunteers to get out some great dogs who really need it! It helps us learn more about the dogs in our care. Here is what one of our volunteers found out about Jadis on her daycation!

"Jadis is a friendly, energetic, and curious girl! She Was very excited to get out and go for a walk but calmed down after a little bit of time out. She likes to meet new people but doesn't feel the need to jump all over them or bark at them. She walks well on a leash. She really enjoyed the car ride and hiking."

This fantastic boy is Fritter! He is an absolute sweetheart. Fritter has done really well in playgroups with other dogs. He is smart and picks up on training well. Fritter seems to be potty trained though the shelter environment makes it difficult to know for sure. Fritter is an all around fantastic dog who would love to meet you today!
