ADOPT

Hi, my name is Darya! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Adventurous, curious, active -Can Live with Kids: Older kids (16 years plus) who are dog-savvy may be okay! I am a very strong girl and may knock over small kiddos. -Can Live with Cats: Not recommended, she would likely chase. -Can Live with Dogs: Darya would do best as the only dog in the home! -Can do Apartment Living: No, I can be a little loud when left alone and I also need lots of room to roam. -Potty Trained: Seems to be. -Bite History: None -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, 1 to 3 private lessons depending on adopters' experience. -Energy Level: High! -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay. -Additional Information: Darya is an energetic girl who is looking for her new forever adventure buddy. She arrived at the shelter as a stray so we don't know too much about her history. We do know that she loves her people and would benefit from having someone who doesn't have to be gone for too long during the day. Experience with separation anxiety would also be a plus as she can get a bit anxious when left alone. Darya would love to spend her days helping her person in the yard or going on long hikes, and then settling down with a nice chew toy or treat in the afternoon. Since Darya can be very excitable and strong willed, we are recommending she goes to a home with no cats or other dogs so she can focus on getting settled. If you'd like to meet Darya, please fill out an application to be reviewed! View full description »

Hi, my name is Lilo!

At this time we're recommending kids ages 12+ -Can Live with Cats: Not recommended, as per previous owner. -Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Lilo lived successfully with another dog in her previous home and has also tested well with other dogs in playgroup at the shelter. Any potential canine housemates will have to meet at the shelter first to ensure they're a good match! -Can do Apartment Living: Not recommended- Lilo is very active/high energy and would do best in a home with a yard! -Potty Trained: Appears to be! -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Depending on adopter experience, she may be required to sign up for 1 private lesson.

A home that can provide her with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation will be necessary to keep her happy (and out of trouble!) Lilo LOVES using her brain and enjoys eating her meals out of frozen Kongs and other puzzle-feeder type toys.

Hi, my name is Mabel! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Energetic, active, intelligent, a bit nervous at first but affectionate once she trusts you -Can Live with Kids: Unknown history - may be O.K. with respectful kids ages 12+, but this is up to the counselor's discretion -Can Live with Cats: No, has a high prey drive - no cats -Can Live with Dogs: Mabel is a bit dog selective and in need of some socialization. She may be able to live with a SOCIAL dog who will respect her boundaries and teach her appropriate behavior. No rude/undersocialized dogs! Initial introductions will be done here at the shelter. -Can do Apartment Living: No, she is a large breed working dog who needs more space -Potty Trained: Appears so! -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, at least one private lesson is required for adoption. More would be beneficial. -Energy Level: High! -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay -Additional Information: Mabel is an active and intelligent dog who's going to need someone able to keep up with her. In her last home, it appears she was left to her own devices and often got into trouble. As a high energy breed, Mabel needs lots of exercise AND mental stimulation to keep her from channeling that energy into something destructive. German shepherds are working dogs after all - this means they were bred to do a job and will often get bored if not given something productive to do. This sweet girl would benefit greatly from having a stable routine and consistent training to help build her confidence. We think Mabel will thrive in the right home - she just needs someone who understands her! If you'd like to meet Mabel, the first step is filling out an application. Staff will then review applications to ensure it's a good match before scheduling an introduction. View full description »

When I am not romping around with my doggy friends, I enjoy laying in my bed or flopping onto the feet of my people. I came in as a stray, so my history is unknown, but I am shaping up to be a 10/10 good girl! If you are looking for an affectionate, sensitive, and gentle girl, I might be the one for you! If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application with the front desk! View full description »

Pancake is a young, active dog with tons of potential! Food motivated and attentive, once he forms a bond with his person (it doesn't take much!) this guy will likely be a training superstar! In the couple of weeks we've known him, we've noticed he seems a little unfamiliar with certain things out in the world and will give a single "spooky bark" at things he's not so sure about (noisy garbage truck, plastic bag flying in the wind, sometimes his own reflection :)) but he recovers very quickly and always looks to his handler for assistance/reassurance. A calmer home environment with a steady, predictable routine would be of great benefit for this sensitive guy- at this point in his life, he would not do well in a bustling party house with lots of strangers popping by all the time. That's not to say Pancake isn't a party boy, because he definitely is-- this pup LOVES to romp, play, and cause a little mischief from time to time 😉 If Pancake seems like the perfect pup for you, submit an application to see if it's a match! -Can Live with Kids: Pancake would do best in an adult-only home, or at least one with respectful, dog-savvy older kids/teenagers who can read/respect his body language and give him space when he needs it. At this time we're recommending no kids under 14 yrs of age. -Can Live with Cats: No- Pancake has a high prey drive and needs a home without cats/other small animals. -Can Live with Dogs: Yes, although it'd have to be just the right match. Pancake was surrendered for not getting along with the other dog in his previous home (senior pitbull) but has tested well with a variety of dogs at the shelter and joins dog playgroup every day! He plays best with tolerant adult females but could likely live with most active dogs. Intro done at WHS! -Can do Apartment Living: Not recommended- Pancake is easily spooked by strange noises so a busy apartment setting wouldn't be the best spot for him. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal! -Potty Trained: Yes -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required, but would certainly be beneficial! -Energy Level: Medium/high -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Just a microchip!

Because she can be shy/sensitive with new people/things, we're recommending older, dog-savvy kids/teens (14+) who understand and respect canine body language and can give her space when she wants it. -Can Live with Cats: Likely not a good match with cats. -Can Live with Dogs: Probably! We're still learning more about Quinn's sociability with other dogs through daily playgroup sessions, and while Quinn has never had any aggression/issues, she does tend to get overwhelmed by certain dogs. Another social dog with similar playstyle/energy level would likely be okay-- initial intro done at WHS! -Can do Apartment Living: No, this active young Husky needs room to stretch her legs! -Potty Trained: Yes -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Not required, but would certainly be beneficial! -Energy Level: High -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Spay/microchip View full description »

Hi, my name is Willie! Here is what would work best for me in my new home: -Personality: Curious, watchful, affectionate once comfortable -Can Live with Kids: 13+, sturdy kids who respect dog body language. Up to counselor's discretion. -Can Live with Cats: No -Can Live with Dogs: No, Willie is dog selective and still gaining confidence around other dogs. At this time we are requiring him to be the only dog in the home. Please keep in mind that Willie is NOT a dog park dog, but does enjoy going on walks and interacting with his known humans. -Can do Apartment Living: No -Potty Trained: Appears to be! -Bite History: No -Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: No, but he may benefit from some structured positive reinforcement training! -Energy Level: Medium/High -Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter and microchip. Meet Willie - a 5 year old German Shepherd who is currently seeking a loving and patient forever home. Willie's journey has been one of resilience and personal growth, and we believe he has the potential to flourish in a caring and supportive environment with the right individual or family. It is important to note that Willie is dog selective, which means he prefers the company of select four-legged friends. His compatibility with other dogs should be assessed on an individual basis and introduced gradually to ensure a harmonious relationship. However, with proper training, guidance, and structured socialization, Willie has the potential to develop positive associations and build trust with other canines. He may require some extra patience and understanding from his new family. We are seeking an adopter who understands the unique needs of a dog like Willie. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will be crucial in helping him feel secure and comfortable in his new surroundings. A calm and structured approach to introductions, gradual exposure to new experiences, and a PREDICTABLE routine will allow Willie to build trust and develop a sense of stability. Willie's ideal home would be one where he is the only pet, providing him with undivided attention and love. A serene environment without young children or high-energy pets would ensure that Willie can relax and flourish at his own pace. Engaging in activities that stimulate his mind and body, such as daily walks, puzzle toys, and obedience training, will not only strengthen your bond with Willie, but also contribute to his ongoing development. It is worth mentioning that Willie's progress is a testament to the incredible potential for growth and transformation in dogs. Despite his challenges, he has already come a long way in his journey, and we are confident that, with the right adopter, Willie's transformation will continue to unfold, bringing joy and companionship to his new home. If you believe you have the patience, commitment, and understanding to provide Willie with the love and guidance he needs, please fill out an adoption application. View full description »
