Jason
Meet Jason, a bundle of pure rainbows and butterflies who is officially ready to trade the shelter life for a forever home. This sweet boy first made his debut by wandering out of a local park and running straight up to a friendly face to ask for help, proving from day one that he is a total people-person. Jason is the perfect family dog – we think he’d do great with kids, dogs, and cats with proper, patient intros! If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who is as resilient as he is loving, Jason is more than ready to join your family!

Chloe
Chloe is a sweet girl coming out of her shell more and more each day! This cutie came to us looking for a new start and we are determined to make all her dreams come true. While she is a strong girl on walks, she is incredibly food-motivated, which makes her a star pupil in any training class she’ll go to! We are still uncovering all the wonderful layers of her personality, but so far, she has shown nothing but kindness and a ready appetite for life (and treats!)
Size: 50 lbs
Energy level: High-ish, she loves play time just as much as cuddle time

Pippa
Pippa was found running around E-Town, full of spirit and spunk! She’s fun and a little edgy. If she could, she’d totally rock a leather jacket and boots! But underneath that cool-girl vibe, she’s incredibly affectionate and loves her people. Her favorite pastime? Chasing the giant yoga ball in the front run – she could go all night if we’d let her! Whether she’s the next urban herding champ or your everyday adventure buddy, Pippa’s ready to roll. Bring her home and add some fun to your life!
Size: 40 lb.

Max
Max is a heart-breaker! He was found in a forest preserve, left to fend for himself, and now knowing him, we just know this sweet guy must have been terrified. Max has a heart of gold, just aims to please, and would love a family to have fun with. He’s a quick learner, will do anything for a treat, and enjoys nothing more than taking a support stuffie on his walks with him. He loves giving kisses and bonding with people, it’s adorable to watch. He’s a good boy with a good heart and he’s ready to share his love with someone!
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 10+, sometimes he forgets his size

Robert
Our boy Bob has had a rough go at life. He came to us as a stray and we quickly noticed that he had trouble breathing. He ended up having a wound at the bottom of his esophagus causing air to leak into parts of his body it should be. This meant that he spent the first few weeks with us on strict crate rest and in recovery. He has since been cleared for action and he is READY to partayyy! This goofball looks like he came straight off the mothership and we question whether he’s an alien or a dog but either way we love him and we think you will too!
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Older, he could accidentally knock over littles
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: Not for this guy!
Orville
We can’t say enough good things about this absolute hunk! Orville originally came to us as a stray and we were surprised that no one came looking for him. He’s been in a foster home where he has flourished into a loving, sweet, respectful, easygoing dog. Want to walk for miles? Great! Want to spend the day watching the newest Netflix series? Awesome! This dude does it all. He’s housebroken, the biggest cuddler ever, and he’s even famous (he was in a local news segment!). He can’t wait to be your best friend!
Size: 70 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 13+
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: No thanks!
Marigold
In foster
She’s beauty, she has little grace, she’s Marigold! This puppy is growing up at the shelter and we’d love to find her a home ASAP! Mari was a stray and we just can’t believe it. Her sweet puppy face and those innocent little eyes make her irresistible, and with some basic training, she’s going to make the perfect little companion. Marigold has so much personality already and the funniest little attitude, she could make you laugh every day.
Size: 30 lbs and growing!
Energy level: High – she’s a puppy learning the ropes!
Kids: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Not tested
Barney
In foster
Barney arrived at the shelter feeling overwhelmed and shut down, but after a few weeks in a foster home, this resilient guy is feeling more confident than ever! Now that he’s officially out of his shell, Barney has revealed himself to be a delightfully silly, sweet, and snuggly companion who is eager to make up for lost time. He is more than ready to trade his foster life for a permanent spot on a forever sofa where he can shower his new family with all the affection he’s been saving up. Make an appointment to meet Barney by emailing tanyaeasa@gmail.com

Caspian
In foster
If Caspian were a human he’d be an Olympian: athletic, charming, and loves a good workout! Caspian came to us as a stray, so we don’t know about his past but we do know that he’s been nothing but a good time! He’s learning manners and that he doesn’t have to be a bull in a china shop when he’s saying hello, but isn’t it sweet that he’s so excited to make new friends?!
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Older, he could accidentally knock over littles
Dogs: Yes
Cats: We always recommend slow intros
Woody
In foster
Woody is an incredibly gentle, sweet and loving pup, and his goal in life is to be your best friend. It’s clear that humans caused Woody to have a very rough childhood, but it is truly amazing to see him discover how great life can be! Woody would greatly benefit from having a dog sibling to love and to show him that it is safe to trust humans. He would prefer to not have cat siblings, however a confident cat should do fine. Woody can be your security guard in the city as well as the perfect cuddle partner. He has grown so much and the perfect example of that is walking. Woody was terrified to go for a walk at all, but now he absolutely loves to go for walks and play with everyone at the dog park! He is fantastic with other dogs. He is great with kids too and is very gentle. Woody is a very special dog and will make your entire life better with his love.
Size: 50 lb. but slightly underweight
Energy level: Medium-high, he’s a husky mix after all
Kids: Yes
Dogs: Yes, we could test with yours if interested

Ralphie
In foster
I may look like a big tough guy, but I’m soft as mush for the people I love! I’ve had a rough past including being on the run in the bitter cold winter last year but the team here is doing their best to find my perfect home. I’m a bit of a shy dude at first and it might take a visit or two to warm up to new people, but I’m trying really hard to be the best me I can be. Someone who has patience to help me learn is a must and in return you’ll get endless cuddles and zoomies that’ll make your day! I know I can make someone happy and I’m hoping it’s you!
Size: 55 lb. but a little chonky right now
