ADOPT A DOG

Snoopy

Meet Snoopy…yes, that Snoopy, come to life! This pup has clearly studied his cartoon namesake closely, because we’re convinced he gets up to some seriously similar antics the second his people turn their backs. Secret dance parties! Imaginary flying ace missions atop his kennel! Elaborate snack heists! We can’t prove it, but we also can’t rule it out. Snoopy’s got personality for days: a little bit silly, a little bit mischievous, and 100% ready for adventure (or a nap, depending on his mood). Now all he needs is his very own Charlie Brown to bring him home and see what kind of trouble–er, fun–they can get into together. Could that be you?

Sassafras

Meet Sassafras! This poor girl was left at our front door, so we don’t know a lot about her. She was understandably upset with her dishonorable arrival to the shelter and has been slow to warm up. But with patience and time, Sass has slowly started showing her personality, accepting pets, and becoming more trusting! We think in a home, she will flourish into an even more confident, loving pup!

Big Head Todd

Meet Big Head Todd, the owner of the blockiest head on the north shore! Todd came to us as a stray with pretty severe eye issues.

Belly

If you’re looking for a companion who is just happy to be part of your day, Belly might be your perfect match. She has a wonderfully easygoing personality. While she’s completely content relaxing on her own, she’d much rather be hanging out nearby with her favorite people. One of her favorite treats is a peanut butter-filled licky mat, and she’s always happy to settle in and enjoy a tasty snack. She’s house-trained, non-destructive in the home, and has great house manners. Belly thrives with consistency and would do best in a home that can provide a predictable routine. In return, she’ll reward you with plenty of affection, companionship, and some truly top-tier cuddles. Whether you’re spending the evening on the couch, working from home, or simply enjoying a quiet day, she’s happy just being by your side.

Ragnar

Meet Ragnar! This sweet boy came to us totally broken: emaciated, smelly, with overgrown nails, and afraid of the world. After a few weeks with us, Ragnar is gaining weight and confidence! While he starts off shy, he’s learning to trust and warms up quickly. We don’t know much about Ragnar’s past, but we do know that his future is bright! Are you his forever?

Age: ~3 years old
Size: 50 lbs, but he’s got some weight to gain!
Energy level: Medium, he’s more of a snuggler!
Kids: Older
Dogs: Not for me
Cats: Not tested, we always recommend a slow introduction

King

Here ye, here ye, meet King! This handsome boy is ready to trade his kennel for a castle (AKA your home). Like any royal, he’s accustomed to a certain lifestyle: lounging on the throne (your couch), keeping good company (your family), and luxury foods (Pupperoni). In all seriousness, King’s been down on his luck lately and is ready to get out of the shelter. With a family, patience, and love, King will be feeling like royalty in no time.

Age: ~2 years old
Size: 60 lbs
Energy level: High, he’s just a youngin!
Kids: Yes
Dogs: He’s lived with female dogs
Cats: Not tested, we always recommend a slow introduction

Dr. Doofenshmirtz

Meet Dr. Doofenshmirtz! Like his cartoon villain namesake, Doof is very misunderstood. His gruff demeanor is only to protect his heart from being hurt again – he’s not really evil! He’s looking for a family who is patient, caring, and willing to help him build up his confidence. Come meet Doof so he can show you his latest invention – the Puppy-Eyes-inator 3000! Careful, it might just make you fall in love!

Age: ~3 years old
Size: 60 lbs but has some weight to gain
Energy level: Medium, a walk and a nap is his perfect day
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: A calmer dog is his jam
Cats: Not tested, we always recommend a slow introduction

Ralphie

Meet Ralphie, our resident potato: round, a little lumpy in the best way, and fiercely loyal once you’ve earned a spot in his heart. He’s our longest-term resident and has spent the last couple of years living his best life in foster, putting in serious work with his foster and our trainer. Honestly? He might be the most well-trained dog on the property! He’s not about instant friendships, though. Ralphie’s a “let’s get to know each other first” kind of dog: a little wary of strangers, and choosy about which dogs, kids, and people make the cut. He’s partial to the ladies (sorry, guys), though a handful of male volunteers have earned honorary favorite status. Somehow the loyal, hardworking potato of the shelter is still looking for his people, and it’s honestly criminal. He’d do best as an only-kid or older-dog-savvy-kid household, with someone patient enough to let him warm up on his own time. Once you’re in, you’re in – and Ralphie will spend the rest of his days proving it was worth the wait!

Age: ~6.5 years old
Size: 55 lbs but a little chonky right now
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: With the right fit
Cats: No thanks!

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!

Age: ~2 years old
Size: 60 lbs
Energy level: High
Kids: Older, he could accidentally knock over littles
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: Not for this guy!

Pippa

In foster

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!

Age: ~2 years old
Size: 40 lbs
Energy level: Medium
Kids: Ages 13+
Dogs: Picky, but with the right fit!
Cats: No thanks!

Chewbarka

In foster

Chewie was brought to us after a search warrant resulted in 18 dogs being pulled from a home. From his very first day with us, he’s made it clear that he has a single goal in life: making friends! He’s a playful pup, loves to go on walks, play fetch, get pets, or anything that will get him new friends! Just a wookie looking for his Han Solo. He’s ready for a loving home where he can get spoiled!

Age: ~2 years old
Size: 60 lbs
Energy level: Medium, playful but also snuggly!

Caspian

In foster

Caspian is a huge-hearted, deeply loving boy with feelings as big as his adorable smooshy face. He’s the kind of dog who throws his whole heart into everything — whether that’s curling up as close as possible for snuggles, proudly carrying around his favorite toy, or learning something new. Belly rubs? Absolute heaven. Being near his people? Even better. Like other sensitive souls, Caspian is still learning how to navigate big emotions and exciting environments. But even in his frustrating moments, you can see how badly he wants to do the right thing and be understood. We’ve watched him blossom into the sweetest cuddle bug and devoted companion. He is incredibly smart, adaptable, and thrives with patience, consistency, and love. Caspian needs someone willing to see his huge heart and help guide him through the world. In return, you’ll get a loyal best friend who will love you with everything he has.

Age: ~1.5 years old
Size: 60 lbs
