If you have any questions regarding a particular dog, please email the Dog Adoption Team.
Indy and Dezzi
Indy and Dezzi are our two most recent arrivals. Sadly, they were surrendered to an overcrowded city shelter together and their whole world has been turned upside down. When we saw them, we knew we had to take both of them! Since they are still so new to us, we are deciding if they are bonded together or not. We do know that they came from the same home so we would love to keep them together. Dezzi is a female chihuahua and Indy is a female doodle. We do not have an exact age on these two but we were told between 2-3 years old.
Hunter
Male - Mixed breed - 2 years old
Hunter is back with us…through absolutely no fault of his own! Once again, life has failed this boy. He was found starving, scared, and covered in mange. We nursed him back to health and his bubbly personality began to shine. We were beyond excited when we found a home for Hunter. After a few days, the adopter realized he was too rambunctious and playful, so he was returned back to us. Imagine being returned for being SO excited that you finally found your forever home. We are hoping someone will see what a great boy he is. Please note, he is very playful and puppylike. He loves long walks and being with his people. We want to make sure we are setting him up for success!
Roxie
Female - Pit mix - 7 years old
Roxie is a new arrival from another rescue. She was surrendered there by her owner who sadly wasn’t able to take care of her anymore. According to the owner, Roxie is 10 years old, although the vet estimated 6 or 7 years old! What we DO know, is that she is a wonderfully sweet, gentle and loving soul. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her sweet personality!
Roxie was in a foster home for a few weeks. Her foster mama said that she walks great on a leash, has excellent house manners, loves to be outside, car rides no problem! Every person she meets gets charmed by her happily wagging tail, and she really loves people. And she can be playful too! Her skin conditions are being treated and she’s feeling so much better!
Dulce
Dulce has overcome so much. This sweet girl was found as a bald and skinny stray in rough condition who is now a happy and chunky girl. She was also treated for a rectal prolapse. Dulce is adorable and sweet but your typical bully breed…very stubborn and bossy. We are looking for a home with bully breed experience. Dulce recently made friends with Denver and they have been loving playing together!
Denver
Denver is a young dog that has been with us for quite some time. He was exhibiting some guarding behaviors in the home and was sadly returned to us. At the shelter and with volunteers, he is a fun
and loving goofball. He loves all the activity at the shelter but definitely needs a firm handler. Denver will either need a single owner home or a home where both people will be the alpha. We know
we are looking for a unicorn family for this boy, but in the right home, he will be successful.
His DNA test came back as a cattle dog/sheep dog/eskimo dog mix but to us, he looks like a border collie. Denver has turned into a dog friendly boy who loves playdates with his shelter pup friends.
His play dates have been successful with happy go lucky and friendly dogs. He is very playful and would thrive in an active lifestyle. Potential adopters should have breed experience. He is also
super smart and wants to please! Denver seems okay with cats but we always recommend slow introductions.
Ruby
Female - English Bulldog mix - 5 years old
Ruby’s ONE YEAR anniversary at the shelter came and passed and no one came to meet her. Our hearts ache knowing she’s still waiting for her person. This 5-year-old English bulldog mix arrived to
us from another shelter and has been nothing short of a gem while in our care. Ruby deserves to have a home and family of her own after being in shelter care for so long
Ruby is definitely a volunteer favorite! Although stubborn, she is a great walker and enjoys sunbathing outside…but she’s happiest lounging on the couch and soaking up quality time with her people.
Ruby is very food motivated and loves her people fiercely once she bonds. In a home setting, she has shown some guarding behaviors, so her best chance at a happy forever would be with a single-person
household where she can be the center of attention. She would also prefer not to share her space with another dog.
We know we’re searching for a bit of a unicorn, but Ruby is absolutely worth it. We are looking for a foster with intent to adopt who can give her the calm, consistent, loving home she deserves after
a long year of waiting.
Cider
Male - Pit mix - 2 years old
Cider came to us extremely skinny. He has gained some weight and is enjoying all of the love, attention, and extra treats. He is very nervous in the shelter environment and needs a firm and confident handler. He is adjusting to kennel life, but once he is outside the shelter, he is the best boy! He is very goofy and playful with all of our female volunteers. Cider seems to prefer women and is more fearful of men. He has been working with some of our male volunteers and has made friends with two of them already. We are so proud of him! Older children only for this nervous boy. Cider will be available by appointment only.
Marley
Female - Shiba Inu mix - 4 years old
Marley arrived to us after she was on the run as a stray for 3.5 months! She has been decompressing and getting all of the love with our volunteers. Marley is your typical Shiba Inu who is stubborn and quirky. She takes some time to warm up to new people, but once she does…she is your best friend who just wants belly rubs. One of our volunteers has taken Marley for a couple sleepovers and said she was amazing…a perfect couch potato who just wants love. Marley would do best in a calm and quiet home. Marley’s adopter should have experience with nervous dogs and a physically fenced in yard. Marley seems okay with cats but we always recommend slow introductions. Marley will be available by appointment only.
Sora
Female - Pit mix - 2 years old
Sora came to us very sick with neurological issues. She could barely stand up and she was not eating. She is now eating healthy meals and walking better however, this special girl will always be a
little wobbly.
Sora loves attention and she loves to be with people. She is currently our “office dog” and she gets attention from our volunteers all day long. However, Sora has some behaviors that can be
misinterpreted because of her neurological issues. Sora would do best with a family that is home more often than not and also with a fenced in yard where she can be let out to potty frequently. Sora
would benefit from a home that’s willing to go on the journey of learning and training with her so she can continue to grow. She’s a true rescue experience and someone is going to be very lucky and
privileged to go on that journey with her…..and get to stare at those radar ears every single day! Sora will be available by appointment only.
