Ebony

Sweet Eb loves you so much she’ll scream it from the rooftops and you haven’t even met her yet! Once a skinny and stinky stray girl, Ebony has blossomed into a beautiful dog both inside and out. She’s outgoing and such a happy-go-lucky kind of gal! She may be a bit on the bigger side, but she’s got the heart to match and will show you that every single day. She’s also a comedian, as if you needed any more convincing to come meet her!

Size: 65 lb.
Energy level: Medium – a walk and some zoomies make for a perfect pre-nap outing
Kids: Yes, but I may knock little humans over
Dogs: Not yet tested
Cats: Not yet tested

Hunter

A distinguished senior gentleman searching for the good life once and for all! Hunter has had his fair share of good and bad times, we think he finally deserves some stability in his golden years! Originally found as a stray chained up in an alley, Hunter came to us for his second chance. He was adopted in 2017 and returned in 2023 and back at square one, but we promised him that we could do it again! His hobbies include but are not limited to eating, sleeping, walking, and car rides. He’s got just the right amount of energy for those who enjoy a nice walk but also have a deep appreciation for couch days. Please, please, please come break this senior boy out!

Size: 65 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 8+
Dogs: No thanks – been there, done that and I just want my people
Cats: No thanks!

Buttercup

Life is about balance, and I’ve got the perfect mix of sugar and spice! I’m a great size and the staff here says I’m one of the neatest dogs they’ve ever met. I’m a little stressed at the shelter, so my true personality isn’t quite shining through, but I have a goofy side I can’t wait to share with someone who busts me out of here! My bark may be big, but my heart is much bigger, and I hope to show you that!

Size: 50 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 10+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!

Raylan

This tall, handsome, peculiar dude came to us in January and has had our hearts since! Raylan is a stoic fella who doesn’t always wear his heart on his sleeve, but we can’t really blame him considering he’s looking for a family of his own. He might make you pay for his love in treats, but the return on investment is one of the best around! Ray may look like a big tough guy, but he’ll hop around like a little bunny once he knows you’re his person! He’d be perfect if you’re looking for a partner-in-crime or a partner-in-life, whichever you prefer!

Size: 65 lb.
Energy level: Medium – let’s go for a nice long walk but cuddles are a must!
Kids: Ages 13+, I’m a big guy!
Dogs: I prefer females
Cats: Not tested

Freddy

The days of being an emaciated stray covered in urine stains and sleeping in places no one ever should are far behind me! People at the shelter tell me I’ve come such a long way, and I’m quickly maturing into a pretty awesome dog. I’m smart, handsome, and snuggly — the three best traits in a dog! I’ve never known the good life, but hoping that could change with you ASAP!

Size: 50 lb.
Energy level: Medium-high, I love to play and adventure!
Kids: Ages 13+, I’m still learning how to dog!
Dogs: Not for me, I want all your love!
Cats: Not tested

Caitlin

In foster

My nickname is Caitlin the Cannonball because I have two speeds – Go and Go Faster! I like playing with other dogs, but I play full speed ahead, so my style isn’t for every dog. If you are a high energy person looking to supercharge your life, I just might be your girl!

Size: 40 lb.
Energy level: High
Kids: Older
Dogs: With the right fit
Cats: Not tested

Willamena

How does that saying go? Small package, big personality? Well, that’s me! I was found as an emaciated girl just hanging out in someone’s backyard, and now I’m looking for the happy ending to my rags-to-riches story. The shelter doesn’t know my history, but they think I’m part cat because I like to rub on your legs like one. If you’re able to take me in and love training and learning, hit up my managers at the shelter to set up a meeting!

Size: 45 lb.
Energy level: Medium – training and playing games help me get ready for nap time!
Kids: Ages 10+
Dogs: I’m picky but can be won over
Cats: No thanks!

Dave

In foster

I was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with so many wounds all over my body. I’m understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but I’m so easily won over with a single treat and a nice little head scratch. If you want a dog who’s going to get stopped on every walk to hear how handsome he is, I’m your dude! A place to snuggle up with you is all I’m looking for – I’m an easy to please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a family of my own!

Size: 60 lb., but a little underweight
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires me out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!

Ralphie

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
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: Not for me!
Cats: No thanks!

Gordy (aka Gordo)

Hi guys! I might look big and tough, but I’m a teddy bear at heart. I love meeting new people, going for walks, and eating peanut butter. People tell me I’m the sweetest dog they’ve ever met… I think it’s because I like snuggling and want to be petted by everyone I meet (especially the NU Soccer team!). I’m a good fit for any family because I can sleep for hours or go on all-day adventures. I’ll always be happy to see you when you come home, and I can’t wait to find my forever home.

Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Very relaxed
Kids: Ages 8+ (I’m a gentle giant but strong!)
Dogs: With the right introduction
Cats: Not tested
