Sweet Basil is looking for a loving home! This boy was surrendered by his former owners after being picked up as a stray. While waiting for his new family at the shelter, Basil and his chill personality helped shelter staff learn whether other dogs were dog friendly or not, which was incredibly helpful in finding their new homes. He's now hoping for his own chance at a happily ever after! Basil is a distinguished senior who enjoys gentle walks and relaxing with his people. He is good with and very tolerant of other dogs and gently corrects young, overenthusiastic pups so they learn proper doggy manners. If you'd like sweet treat in your life, come meet Basil today!

Meet Bonnie! This unique little pup inherited her black Lab mom’s sweetness and a stunning blue merle coat from her mystery dad. Medium-sized, Bonnie has already proven herself to be an excellent housemate—she’s potty-trained, well-socialized with big dogs, small dogs, and cats, and gets along with everyone. Though she’s shy, Bonnie is blossoming in her foster home, learning to trust and thrive in a quiet environment. She needs a loving home committed to continuing her socialization journey with patience and love. Bonnie is fully vetted and ready to meet the perfect family who will help her shine. Could you be Bonnie’s forever match?

Beautiful Clarice is a very sweet, friendly girl who is looking for a loving home after being retired from a breeding farm. She was a wonderful momma to her 5-6 litters, and it's long past time for Clarice to get all the love and kindness she deserves. She loves pets and food, and one of her favorite things is to greet people. She is perfecting her house manners and is a quick study! Smart girl! While she's not a puppy anymore, Clarice still has plenty of zest for life and is so excited to find out what it's like to be truly loved. If you'd like to show Clarice how beautiful life beyond the farm can be, come meet this gentle soul today! 

Sweet Fiona is a young Lab who landed at the shelter as a stray at a young age. She became a shelter favorite - mascot if you will, while she was there. She was a little shy going into the vet's office but once she got in there she was Miss Congeniality once once again. She enjoyed her playtime with many other dogs at the shelter. Fiona is very sweet and wants to share her happiness with a family.

Gage loves everyone! He’s kind of at that age where he is calling or texting constantly and just needs to be assured, “yes, Gage, I still love you.” He is irrepressibly happy and does need exercise during the day so you can spend those quiet nights snuggling in front of the fire. Gage seems to know some commands (sit, down, paw), but is very strong on leash so will need a steady hand at first. He did not bother the cats at the shelter and ignored the cat at the kennel, so he may be okay with them. Gage’s first home had toddlers, but given his “joie de vivre”, we think he would be best with kids 8 and up. His ideal home would have a fenced yard with lots of interactive play with humans, or another playful dog. 

Hershey, now called Hattie, is a very personable wiggle-butt. At her first shelter, she was the official dog tester for incoming dogs. Now at her foster, she has been playing hard with her foster brother, enjoying the snow, and then coming inside to collapse on the nearest bed. Hattie is no slacker when it comes to staying busy, and her ideal home would have another playful dog. This friendly girl does need more practice on the leash, as she is so intent on meeting everyone she can. She visited the vet this week and thanked the staff with massive quantities of kisses. Hattie is smart and a quick learner. She goes to the door when she wants to go out, scratches to come back in, and has also learned to use a dog door. A very sociable girl, Hattie eats very slowly and prefers that you stay with her. She will leave what’s left in her bowl if you leave the room. She has been with cats and didn’t get excited when an old, crotchety one preemptively swatted her in the face. She does, however like to herd chickens!? If you’re looking for a super sweet, affectionate, chicken-herding love-bug, Hattie may be your girl!

Handsome Hunter needs a new home! Hunter is hoping for a comfy new home that wants puppy energy and has time to train him along with all the fun they'll have together! Even though Hunter is almost one, his new family should be prepared for puppy energy and antics. They also need to commit to his required training--so far, he knows sit, paw, down, and come--and he's excited to learn more! Hunter enjoys fetching balls and a toy bone, but hasn't had a chance to try swimming yet. His former family took him on leash walks and to the dog park for exercise. If Hunter has hit the target of your heart, come meet him today!

Huxter has been with his fosters for a little over 2 weeks and has settled in so well! Hux loves to play with tennis balls and will hoard them if you let him. He’s managed to get three in his mouth at once in the pursuit of having all the balls. He enjoys fetch, but likes to rest after a few throws, then keep playing fetch. It’s a cycle. Huxter seems to want to play with other dogs, but his way of inviting play is very barky. Huxter is working on his leash skills and does best with a harness. He does bark at other dogs he sees when on the leash. Hux loves being outside and laying in the sun. He has a prey drive and will chase away squirrels and birds. When he’s inside he loves to sit at the window and bark at the critters. Once he’s warned away all intruders, he’s happy to find a dog bed and take a nice nap. Hux likes to be near people when they’re home, and will be your little shadow following you around the house. Hux is crate trained but does not need to be crated when his people are away and has free roam of the house at all times, and he’s been a dream. He’s fine going up and down the carpeted stairs, but the basement stairs scare him. He loves his ears and booty scratches and will stand next to you begging for more until your fingers cramp. Hux takes treats gently, and knows sit, lay and paw.

Kellsie is a snuggly, active young girl. She is a high energy, and likes to play with male dogs and mellow female dogs. She also likes to chill outside and sunbathe after getting some zooms out in the yard. Kellsie warms up slowly to new people, but she can easily be won over with patience, a gentle voice, and cookies…lots of cookies. Kellsie knows most basic obedience cues, walks nicely with a head halter, and loves sniffing and exploring. She comes when called and takes treats gently. Kellsie hopes her people will enjoy taking her to agility or on hikes/long walks, and will welcome LOTS of sweet snuggles. If you are looking for a loyal, active, fun companion, Kellsie would love to meet you!

Handsome Kuma is looking for love! He's a wonderfully affectionate young guy who loves everyone he meets. This fun-loving, energetic young pup needs an active home where his people can keep up with his abundant energy. He would love a fenced back yard to chase squirrels and a porch where he can curl up with his human to watch the world go by. He has a high prey drive but is inquisitive and attentive, making him a great training partner and companion. This smart guy makes beautiful eye contact with those bright, curious eyes. Kuma will reward you with lots of love and cuddles. He’s very affectionate! He is good with other dogs but working on being more calm around them… the reason he is currently recommended to be an only dog. He loves puzzle toys and chasing after balls, though he's not great at bringing them back. Your new best friend, Kuma, is anxiously waiting for you.  

Lily is a happy pup who thinks being with you and getting attention is great. She is great with woman but a bit shy with men, most likely from being mistreated before she came into the shelter. But this sweetie then warms up to men who go slow with her. Lily loves to go out in the yard to play with the other dogs. She likes to go for rides and was super on the ride from NC north. Lily would like to meet a family that has a fenced yard and that will give her love, attention, and training she deserves.

Lola is a happy, silly girl with a delightful personality. Her foster family says she is one of the sweetest pups they have ever met. She absolutely adores humans and loves to cuddle on the couch, happily laying by your side or climbing onto your lap. She also loves to be outside and enjoys hanging out on the deck where she can watch the chipmunks and squirrels. She is great in the car and is always up for a road trip, especially if it's to McDonald's. Lola has perfect house manners and is always well-behaved when she is home alone (as long as the counters don’t have goodies on them). She enjoys collecting random items from around the house and will lay with them in her favorite spots. She enjoys a short midday walk or backyard playtime, and then has a longer walk in the evening. After her walk she may do her favorite thing - rolling around in the grass! Lola loves to play but also loves to be by your side, preferably at home or in your yard. She is easy to love and brings smiles to those around her every day.

The world of sweet Markie and Lil Joe continues to get better everyday. There has been tremendous positive change for these two over the last few months. Lil Joe has no trepidation about humans and will greet you to say hello. Markie still likes treats to say hello, but she will stick around for pets too. These two currently reside with a foster who runs a doggy daycare, and they absolutely love the other dogs. They greet the humans at the gate, but their true desire is playing with their four-legged friends when they get a chance. Their foster says they settle down well and have a nice demeanor. Markie (nicknamed CiCi) and LJ (nicknamed Bubba) aren't super in your space snugglers, but they will sleep close to you. Their gorgeous eyes that used to be full of fear are now full of curiosity and understanding. Their next owner will spend years lost in those eyes!I Wouldn't you like to share your love and your home with this delightful duo? The reward of trust will melt your heart!  🖤

Millie is doing great in her foster home. She loves her morning walks, which include zoomies. Afterwards Millie sleeps in the window/on the couch most of the day. She needs another walk in the late afternoon too, but settles down easily. She cuddles with foster mom on the couch in the evenings. She is honestly a sweet and easy dog. Millie is housebroken and crate trained. She goes right in at night and goes to bed with no fuss. Millie loves her walks and does well on her gentle leader. She likes other dogs and would benefit from slow introductions since she likes to be persistent in trying to play. Millie continues to meet people and is friendly and inviting. She cuddles with new people and will fall asleep curled up against them. Everyone who has met her thinks she is adorable, sweet, and kind.
