Meet Skinny Bobenny 🥰

This 8 month old Dachshund/pittie mix was found as a stray, but he isn’t letting that stop him from finding his forever home! Skinny Bobenny has a big heart, an even bigger personality & currently weighs 22lbs (with a little more room to grow) 🐾

This energetic & playful guy loves people, playing fetch, and walking around with his little ball! Bobenny is very social and affectionate, looking for the perfect home to get spoiled rotten in. He does well with other dogs & mostly just shares space nicely with his canine companions ❤️

Food is very high-value for Skinny Bobenny, so he can sometimes feel the need to safeguard it (when he arrived in care he was a bit thin, so we can't blame him for loving his food so much). Because of this, he would do best in a home with older children (10+)

🐾 Energetic, social & playful
✨ Loves fetch, his little ball & getting spoiled rotten
🏡 Does well sharing space with other dogs
👶 Best with children 10 years and older
❤️ Looking for a loving forever family to spoil him

Meet Bud 🤎

This handsome brindle boy was found as a stray, but he isn’t letting that stop him from finding his forever home. Bud has a big head, an even bigger heart & plenty of personality to go around! 🐾

This energetic guy loves people and wants nothing more than to be close to them & soak up all the affection he can get. He can be a little anxious and excitable, and he’s still learning his manners, especially when walking on a leash & greeting other dogs. Training, consistency, and lots of love will help Bud become the best boy he can be! 🐶

Bud loves toys and food and can sometimes get a little mouthy when he’s excited. He can also be protective of his food, so he would do best in a home with children 10 years and older. Bud needs to be the only dog in the home for now.

Bud is currently enrolled in Forever Home Fundamentals, a positive reinforcement training program where he’s building confidence and learning skills like sit, down, stay, and touch. He’s already putting in the work to prepare for his forever home! 💛

Meet Cooper 🤎

You can probably guess how Cooper From the Dog Park got his name... this 8-month-old Shepherd/Pit mix was abandoned at a local dog park. But Cooper isn't letting that rough start slow him down!

This energetic young guy is full of zoomies, curiosity, and personality 💨 He'll need an active person who's ready to help him channel all that energy, learn his manners & become the best boy he can be. Training + consistency + Cooper = one fantastic dog in the making! 🐶

Cooper would prefer to be the only dog in the home for now, though he's perfectly happy to say a polite hello to canine friends while out and about 🐕

Meet Jinkies🕵🏻‍♀️

This 2-year-old pittie mix has already closed the case on being a stray, but we've got another mystery on our hands... how she's still waiting for a home 💕

Jinkies can be a little timid at first, preferring to scope things out like the thoughtful detective she is. Once she feels safe, her affectionate side starts to peek through 🥹 She’s more of an independent girl, not clingy, just cool 💁🏻‍♀️

She’d do best with children 10+ who can respect her space while she settles in & she prefers to be the only pet in the home. Bonus clue? She's already housetrained! ✨

Jinkies is also a graduate of our Forever Home Fundamentals training, a positive, force-free enrichment program focused on building confidence, connection, and adoptability. She participated in multiple individual training sessions using only reward-based methods to reinforce trust & teach foundational obedience. She is ready to put her new skills to the test in her forever home! ⭐

If you're looking for a sweet, low-key companion with a soft heart and a touch of mystery, Jinkies may have just solved your case 🔎

Email [email protected] if you are hoping to provide Jinkies a loving home! ☺️

Meet Long Arm of the Law ⚖️

This 5-year-old pittie has already closed the case on rough beginnings. After being found tethered to a tree in the woods, he's now ready to serve and protect... your couch cushions and snack inventory ☺️

Long Arm of the Law would prefer to be the only pet in the home, as he tends to avoid other dogs & enjoys keeping his circle small!

He'd do best with children 10+ & has a polite, lower energy personality that makes him an easygoing companion. He's the kind of dog who's happiest simply hanging out beside his people, soaking up love and finally enjoying the peaceful life he deserves ☀️

Long Arm of the Law is also a graduate of our Forever Home Fundamentals training, a positive, force-free enrichment program focused on building confidence, connection, and adoptability. He participated in multiple individual training sessions using only reward-based methods to reinforce trust and teach foundational obedience. He is ready to shine in his forever home! ⭐️

Long Arm of the Law needs to be the only pet in the home right now, which is great if you're looking for that cool best friend 🐾
