‼️ URGENT ‼️ Kenobi ACCT-A-258665

👉 for the most up to date notes please refer to the link in the comments 👈

Kenobi ACCT-A-258665 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming animals. Kenobi must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Tuesday, September 8th 2026 at 10AM. Should Kenobi’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Meet Kenobi, a bright, social boy who is ready to find his forever people! Kenobi is an incredibly friendly and affectionate dog who loves being around his humans. He is very handler-oriented and has been described as an easygoing, well-mannered boy who is easy to leash and a pleasure to walk. During a recent outing, he happily came over for pets, sat when asked, and took treats gently without any mouthiness. He even had a relaxed, appropriate greeting with another dog through the fence, showing us that this handsome guy has a lovely softer side.

Kenobi can be a very enthusiastic guy, and when he gets especially excited or overstimulated, he can become a little mouthy. Due to this, he will do best with an adult-only family who can help him learn appropriate ways to channel that enthusiasm while giving him plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation.

Kenobi is also very interested in other dogs and has shown playful behaviors like play bows and curious sniffing during some introductions. He can become intense or fixated during greetings, so his future family should be prepared to take introductions slowly and thoughtfully. He may do best as the only pet, or with adopters who are comfortable managing dog-to-dog introductions and giving him the structure he needs to succeed.

Underneath all that enthusiasm is a sweet, affectionate dog who really enjoys his people. Kenobi has shown us that with a little time and the right approach, he can be relaxed, gentle, and incredibly easy to handle. He is smart, social, and eager to interact with the world around him, and we think he'll be a fantastic companion for someone who appreciates a dog with plenty of personality. If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend who will happily soak up your attention and keep you on your toes, Kenobi is ready to meet you!

ACCT is open everyday 10am-6pm!

Iso Fence Meeting For Kenobi and Lay Lay https://youtube.com/shorts/Ofvzq0kiwAQ?is=WtaeynxWIqLgeDvM

Behavior Notes:

Volunteer 9/3/26: Kenobi was a great boy for me today! He absolutely loved pets, he was leaning in to butt rubs enthusiastically.

Per volunteer 8/31/26: I took Kenobi outside for a quick potty break because he's trying to stay house trained. He's in ISO, was easy to leash, and very easy to walk.

He had a well mannered greeting with Lay Lay through the fence - he was relaxed, and though she initially looked tense, her body loosened after several seconds

In the yard, he came over for some pets, then, he sat when I asked, and took treats with no mouthiness.

He's a very easy going boy.

Per volunteer 8/30/26: I met this guy briefly in the isolation room. He immediately backed into me while taking pets with an incredibly loose and wiggly body. Someone else had been walking him and said he was very easy with handling and is a good boy. I went to put him in kennel and he pancaked slightly but followed me in when I walked in first. Seems very handler oriented

Per volunteer 8/21/26: Meet Kenobi (ACCT-A-258665)! This bright and social guy is looking for a forever home where he can truly shine. Kenobi is an incredibly friendly dog who is very eager to socialize and meet new people. He’s the kind of pup who brings a lot of energy and excitement to every interaction.

While Kenobi is very affectionate and tolerates handling well, he can sometimes get a little "mouthy" or nippy when he becomes overstimulated. This isn't out of aggression, but rather a sign of his high energy and playfulness. Because of this, he would be most successful in an adult-only home with adopters who can help him work on his manners and provide him with appropriate outlets for his enthusiasm.

When meeting other dogs, Kenobi is very curious and interested, often showing off his best play bows. He can be a bit intense and fixated during introductions, so he would appreciate a home that can manage his greetings or help him feel comfortable as the only pet.

If you are looking for a social, intelligent, and lively companion, Kenobi is ready to meet you!

Per staff 8/17/26: very bright and excited to socialize with everyone in the room. tolerated all handling but did become overstimulated and mouthy/nippy. was not able to actually bite anyone, did not seem aggressive but more so a playful/overstimulated behavior.

Per staff 8/16/26 (Regarding meet with Sandy): Mid to high tail wags , ears forward, fixated, play bows.

Per staff 8/16/26 (Regarding meet with Sandy): Fixated, middle tail, pulls hard, sniffing, attempt to mount, play bows

Per staff 8/15/26: in the kennel was laying down, heavy panting. He came to the front with loose body, neutral ears and tail, easy to leash. Peed immediately once outside. At fence meet with Bella, fixated, pacing back and forth, unable to be redirected with food, verbal cues or leash pressure. Tail down, overall tense body. She was avoidant so we did not proceed further.

When returning to kennel, hopped it and tried to push back out slightly.

We only went out for a dog meet, so I didn't do too much soliciting of attention, he remained aloof with me.

‼️ URGENT ‼️ Jameson ACCT-A-258268

👉 for the most up to date notes please refer to the link in the comments 👈

Jameson ACCT-A-258268 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Jameson must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Sunday, September 6th 2026 at 10AM. Should Jameson’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Jameson is a sweet, lovable big baby who is ready to find his forever family! This handsome boy may take a little time to warm up, but treats are the way to his heart, and once he gets comfortable, his gentle personality really shines. He has been described as incredibly sweet and well-mannered with people, and staff even called him a “big baby at heart.” He allows handling and enjoys spending time with his people, especially when there aren't a bunch of distractions around.

Jameson is also a dog enthusiast! He gets very excited when he sees other dogs and would love nothing more than to say hello to every pup he passes. He can become quite focused on them and pull toward them, so his new family should be prepared to help him learn some polite leash skills and give him plenty of guidance around canine distractions. Once away from the excitement, he is much more relaxed and able to focus on his handler.

Jameson has had some successful dog interactions, but because he can become very focused and intense around other dogs, his adopter will need to be committed to slow, thoughtful dog introductions and be willing to give him time to get comfortable with a potential canine sibling. He shouldn't be rushed into interactions or expected to immediately become best friends with another dog. A patient adopter who understands the importance of gradual introductions will set Jameson up for success.

Jameson is treat motivated, eager to explore, and a really good walker when he's able to focus. He would do best with a family who is comfortable continuing to work on his leash manners and helping him learn that he doesn't have to meet every dog he sees. Because he can be a little jumpy and enthusiastic about treats, we recommend a home with children 8+.

If you're looking for a handsome, goofy companion with a big personality, a sweet heart, and plenty of potential, Jameson would love to meet you!

Per volunteer 8/21/26: Was laying right in front of the door when I approached his kennel and he immediately got up when he heard me there. I very easily looped the leash out of his head and his body position was a little tense with a mid-level wagging tail and ears perked straight up. On leash he pulls moderately and would recommend a harness. When we got to the play yard, there was another dog in the play yard a few yards down and he was pretty fixated on him for a while, pacing at the fence. He remained focused on the dogs around us for the whole outing. He is much more calm when he’s not in the presence of any dogs and able to focus on his handler much more! He takes treats gently for the most part with a little snatchiness one time and very treat motivated. He took some pets from me, however didn’t solicit out too much attention overall. Minimal pulling on the way back into the shelter. Easily went back into kennel

Per staff 8/17/26 (Regarding meet with Sadie Lady): Forward. Pulls hard. After he sniffed Sadie he was pulling less towards and able to be redirect.

Per staff 8/15/26: kids 8+ due to being snatchy with treats and jumping

Per staff 8/13/26: Kennel Presentation: At the front of his kennel with his front paws on the door with soft eyes, ears back, loose body. Took a treat through the bars.

Leash Skills: Tossed treats into his kennel to get him to move back, when he came back to the front was able to leash. Once leashed came right out and pulled moderately on leash. Once outside pulled strongly towards other dogs.

Sociability: Allowed all handling with a loose body, ears back, mid level tail wags. Remained next to me when I stopped. Took treats snatchy outside, tossing them is best! Would jump on me for them as well, with ears back, mid to low tail wags.

Play: n/a

Dog Interaction: Met Boogie, pulled hard towards him hard staring, ears forward, tenser body. Face to face pulled strongly, was able to sniff him. Hard to redirect, would continue to pull hard and hard stare at him until about 20ft away.

‼️ URGENT ‼️ Ivy ACCT-A-260030

👉 for the most up to date notes please refer to the link in the comments 👈

**$25 in pledges to any rescue that may pull!**

Ivy ACCT-A-260030 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Ivy must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Saturday, September 5th 2026 at 10AM. Should Ivy’s medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Ivy is a 7.5-year-old girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Her owned name is actually Drama Queen, but she prefers to go by Rammy — and honestly, both names seem pretty fitting for this lovable diva. Her former family described her as a total diva, a cuddle bug, and “funny as hell,” and we think those are some pretty great qualities. She loves her people and is reported to be good with strangers and children. She is the kind of dog who wants to be part of your life and soak up all the love she can get.

Shelter life has been a little overwhelming for her, and she hasn't quite been herself here. She can be quiet and hesitant in her kennel, but once she is given some gentle encouragement and time to warm up, we see her softer side come out. She enjoys food, relaxes with kind handling, and will give some lovely tail wags when she is feeling comfortable. We think Ivy is the type of dog who could really blossom once she has the consistency, attention, and one-on-one time that are difficult to provide in a busy shelter environment.

Ivy would do best as the only pet in her home. She has a history of being reactive toward other dogs and has previously been involved in a dog fight, so she will need a family who understands that she doesn't need furry siblings to be happy. She has shown us that she can have appropriate interactions with some dogs when introductions are slow and carefully managed, but an only-pet home will give her the best opportunity to relax and feel secure.

Ivy is also looking for a special adopter who is willing to help her with some ongoing medical needs. She has significant eye issues, including severe dry eye (KCS), which has caused thick discharge and conjunctivitis in both eyes. She has also recently dealt with a UTI and a shelter-acquired upper respiratory infection and is receiving care for those issues. Her eyes in particular will require continued veterinary care, but we believe getting her out of the shelter and into a comfortable home environment could make a world of difference for this girl.

Ivy may be a little down on her luck right now, but underneath it all is a funny, affectionate, lovable diva who spent years as someone's cherished companion. She deserves the chance to feel comfortable again, receive plenty of TLC, and show her new family just how wonderful she can be. If you're looking for a loyal companion with personality to spare and are ready to give a deserving girl the patience and love she needs, Ivy would love to meet you!

Stiff greetings at fence. Sniffed and able to be sniffed. Quick bouncy move, tolerant and moved away on her own

Per staff 8/28:
Adding selective and reactive waiver out of an abundance of caution due to OS notes of not good with other dogs and the fence meet from earlier. However she did have a good meet with another dog later in the day.

Per staff 8/28:
Kennel Presentation: On the back side of the kennel when I approached. Called her name a few times to see if she'd turn around. Had to open the door. She slowly came up to the divider area. I tossed a few treats, she sniffed them but did not eat them. Ears forward and tail down not moving.

Leash Skills: Spoke softly and she slowly came to the front. Lowered her head and allowed leash to go on. Hesitated to come out of kennel and stumbled a bit due to the height of the kennel. Walks slowly on the leash, noses to the ground once outside. Lots of stopping and going to the bathroom.

Sociability: Tolerant of handling. Once I offered some food her body softened, ears to the side and mid tail wagging.

Play: n/a

Color Level: Blue

Per staff 8/28:
Attempted to get Ivy into playgroup. Stiff body, slowly walking to the fence. High tail and muzzle punched at the fence where the dog was.

Per owner 8/27:
Ivy’s owned name is Drama Queen and she lived with her owner for 7.5 years. She was described as being a straight diva, total cuddle bug, snores like an old man, but is “funny as hell.” She is not housetrained, is crate trained, medium energy, pulls on leash, is reactive to other animals, and has bitten another dog on the leg. She has eye issues, itchy paws, and stomach issues. She likes cheese, is good with strangers and children, and is “terrible” towards cats and dogs. The owner noted that her ideal home is with someone who has the time to give her love and that she likes to be called “Rammy.”

Per staff 8/27:
We later found out that the person who claimed to find Ivy as a stray, was the owner’s friend who was supposed to be watching her. The owner unfortunately is unable to reclaim due to extenuating circumstances. We also learned that Ivy id dog reactive, and has been in a dog fight with another dog which is why she has scarring on her face. She did react and bite the other dog in the leg.

Per staff 8/27:
Dog removed from home of caller. Caller stated the dog just walked up to her and did not belong to anyone in the area. She had a wagging tail, few hello barks, lifted into truck easily.

Medical Notes:

This dog has been observed to have shelter acquired upper respiratory infection (URI), or a "doggy cold". They have been started on medication, and will be monitored for resolution of the respiratory infection.

Per staff 8/27:
Ivy was QAR with a BCS of 6/9, good muscle condition, and adequate hydration. She had thick ocular discharge and conjunctivitis in both eyes, with no nasal or ear discharge. Mild dental calculus and mild abdominal tension were also noted, but her cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, musculoskeletal, skin, lymph node, and urogenital exams were otherwise unremarkable.

Assessment included reported anorexia, KCS (dry eye), and a UTI. Schirmer tear testing was 0 OU, consistent with severe dry eye. Abdominal radiographs showed no obvious urinary stones. Urine sediment showed white blood cells with intracellular bacteria, numerous red blood cells, and crystals, supporting a urinary tract infection.

Per staff 8/27:
Dog has not eaten in two days; blood in urine; heavy discharge from eyes.

UPDATE - Chalupa went to rescue!

‼️ URGENT ‼️ Chalupa ACCT-A-258368

👉 for the most up to date notes refer to the link in the comments 👈

**$5 in pledges to any rescue that may pull!**

Chalupa ACCT-A-258368 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Chalupa must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Sunday, September 6th 2026 at 10AM. Should Chalupa’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Chalupa is a handsome brindle boy with a huge heart and an even bigger love for his people! This sweet young guy may be a little shy when first meeting someone, but once he realizes he’s safe, his affectionate personality comes shining through. Give him a few minutes to warm up and you’ll quickly discover what a special boy he is.

Chalupa is a serious cuddle bug who loves being close to his humans. He’ll happily hop up beside you, lean his whole body into you for pets, or even curl up in your lap for some quality snuggle time. He enjoys getting attention and is wonderfully gentle when taking treats. He’s also a playful guy who enjoys toys and will happily chase after a thrown toy before deciding whether or not it’s worth bringing back!

Outside, Chalupa loves to explore with his nose and enjoys spending time in the yard. He can get excited when he spots other dogs and may pull toward them, but he has had several positive dog interactions and has shown that he can enjoy canine company. He’s also been doing well on his walks and is easy to get back into his kennel.

Chalupa has so much love to give and would be thrilled to find a family with kids 10+ who will give him the chance to settle in, build his confidence, and show them what a lovable, goofy, cuddly little guy he is. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will happily trade his shelter bed for a spot next to you on the couch, come meet Chalupa!

Per staff 9/1:
I saw Chalupa on the backside of his kennel, pawing, licking, and biting the bottom of his kennel door. He was drooling a lot. When he saw me, he ran over and was panting. Flagged to behavior team and they will give him some extra enrichment.

Per staff 8/31:
Chalupa was wiggly and easy to leash in kennel. He pulled moderately through the kennels and outside. He'd pull stronger when he saw a dog, and would spring forward to the end of his leash when excited. In the yard, he enjoyed pets a lot. When I picked up a toy, he sprung into the air, all fours of the ground. He did this a few times and was very excited. He ran to it when I threw it, then lost interest (only wants what he can't have lol). When I asked him to sit for a toy, he leaned back (didn't fully sit) and waited patiently with all fours on the floor until I threw it. He was easy to return to kennel. He wouldn't take treats but sniffed them.

Per staff 8/29 (Regarding meet with Pepper):
Stiff greetings, sniffed and pushy play

Per volunteer 8/22:
"This handsome brindle boy was easily one of my favorites of the day, and it took about five minutes with him to understand just how special he is.

When I first met Chalupa, he was sitting SO cutely on his little bed in his kennel. He let me leash him up with absolutely no issues, and once we were outside, he walked so nicely on leash like the good boy he is. But the best part about Chalupa?! He is an absolute CUDDLE BUG. This boy just wants to be close to you. He hopped right up on the bench next to me, and when he wasn’t leaning his whole body into me for pets, he was literally lying across my lap soaking up all the love.

He takes treats incredibly gently, loves affection, and is just such an easy, sweet, lovable boy to spend time with. And can we PLEASE talk about that brindle coat?! Handsome doesn’t even begin to cover it. Chalupa is the kind of dog who makes you want to sit there with him all afternoon. He has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone he can give it all to."

Per staff 8/15:
Easy to leash, neutral body language in kennel. Pulls hard outside, exit searching in the pen. Sniffed the other dog, licked ge****ls, otherwise wanted to go into the far corners of the yard and look at the parking lot and the street. Handled him on his back, neck and head with gentle reassuring touch, which is solicited more of when I stopped.

Per staff 8/13:
Best suited for a home with kids 10+

Per staff 8/13:
Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached kennel. sat up on the bed with soft eyes and ears to the side.

Leash Skills: Easy to leash to and came right out of kennel. Mildly pulled on leash. Pulled hard towards the fence line and the parking lot (exit searching).

Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging a dog or cat.
