ADOPT A DOG

Paolo

Paolo is a classic German Shepherd through and through: smart, loyal, and always ready for a job. He loves having a purpose and lights up when he’s working alongside his person. Agile and light on his feet, he’s a gentle giant! On walks, Paolo’s enthusiasm really shows, especially when he spots other dogs. With guidance and structure, he’s eager to learn better manners and channel that excitement in the right direction. If you’re looking for a devoted partner who thrives with engagement, training, and plenty of activity, Paolo is ready to be your right-hand dog!

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.
Energy level: Medium

Troy

Big personality packed in a small pudgy body, Troy is basically Tony Soprano. He walked in like he owned the place and has been that way since! He’s all puppy and so much fun. He likes to play, eat, cuddle, sleep – in that order – and for a puppy, he’s almosttttt housebroken. He is smart as heck and needs out of here ASAP because no pup should grow up at the shelter!

Size: 30 lb. and growing
Energy level: Puppy, puppy, puppy!
Kids: Yes
Dogs: Yes
Cats: We always recommend slow intros

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
Dogs: May do well with a calmer dog
Cats: Not tested

Ellis

This little guy was found abandoned in a tennis court next to our shelter. He was confused and understandably upset. It took all of a day before this cuddle bug was in our laps craving love and attention! He continues to have the sweetest personality and he’s so darn fun! He’s never had an accident in his kennel and he’s been wonderful with us. There is nothing Ellis loves more than a warm blanket and spending time playing or snuggling up for face massages!

Size: 40 lb.
Energy level: Medium, he’s active but enjoys doing lots of different things
Kids: Ages 10+
Dogs: With the right fit, he likes chiller dogs
Cats: Not tested, but likely not a good fit

Diesel

Have you seen a more handsome dude?! Diesel was surrendered to us and as soon as this hunk jumped out of the car, it was game over for us. Since being with us, all of our volunteers say what a great walker he is and argue over who gets to walk him! Diesel is a people-lover through and through. He thrives on human affection, enjoys a good belly rub, and is always down for a walk or a snuggle session. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite show or heading out on an adventure, Diesel will be right by your side, soaking up all the love.

Size: 90 lb.
Energy level: Medium
Kids: He’s been with children as young as 3 years old
Dogs: No thanks, not for this guy!
Cats: No thanks!

Azul

A husky mix through and through, this one’s for the breed lovers! We’re not quite sure what she’s mixed with, but she’s got a lot of energy and is cooped up most of the day, making it a tough stay for our pretty girl. She really wants to go for adventures and learn new things – hopefully with you!

Size: 55 lb.
Energy level: High, she needs mental and physical workouts!
Kids: Older, she has some puppy tendencies in an adult body
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: No thanks!

Frisco Melt

This little (not so little, actually kinda big!) dude came to us as a shut-down, shy, timid, overgrown puppy and is looking for a home to grow some confidence. He’s so sweet and his soulful eyes will win you over in no time. Big dog just means big heart, right? He’s got big goofy paws and long lanky legs that he can’t wait to grow into!

Size: 60 lb. and growing
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 13+
Dogs: No
Cats: Not tested

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: With the right fit, preferably female
Cats: Not for this guy!

Caspian

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

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 – he’d go for a nice long walk but cuddles are a must!
Kids: Ages 13+, he’s a big guy!
Dogs: He prefers females
Cats: Not tested

Dave

In foster

Dave was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with wounds all over his body. He was understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but is 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 be told how handsome he is, he’s your dude! A place to snuggle up is all he’s looking for – he’s an easy-to-please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a forever family of his own!

Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires him out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: No thanks!

Orville

In foster

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!

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
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: With the right fit
Cats: No thanks!

Woody

In foster

Howdy partner! Just like in the Disney movie, this boy will be your best friend in the whole world! Woody found his way to the shelter, a shell of himself along with his littermate, Buzz. What we’ve learned about Woody is that he’s loyal, smart, and cute as heck—much like his namesake! Woody would be so happy to go on adventures with you and create a bond so strong that nothing can break it.

Size: 50 lb. but slightly underweight
Energy level: Medium-high, he’s a husky mix after all
Kids: Yes
Dogs: We could test with yours if interested
Cats: Not tested
