Dogs for adoption

Spirit

  • Female
  • Heading dog cross
  • Approximately 1 year old
  • Spirit is a lively, playful sweetheart who’s guaranteed to brighten your day. She’s easy-going, loves attention, and forms bonds faster than you can say “best friend!” Whether it’s playtime or cuddle time, Spirit is all in - she just wants to be part of your world. If you’re looking for a loving companion who will shower you with affection and loyalty, Spirit is ready to make your home her happy place!
  • We are unsure how Spirit is the cats or stock.

Bella

  • Female
  • Huntaway X Shar Pei
  • Approximately 4 years old
  • Bella is a sweet, playful, and energetic girl who’s ready to find her forever home. She’s got a bit of basic training and loves being part of the action—but her true passion? Balls! Bella is absolutely obsessed with them and will happily play fetch all day if you let her. She can be a little vocal at times, but with the right home, plenty of exercise, and some continued guidance, we know she’ll settle in beautifully. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you active and entertained (and never let you forget where the ball is), Bella is your girl!
  • We are unsure how Bella is with cats or stock.

Noodle

  • Female
  • Mastiff cross
  • Approximately 5 months old
  • This sweet and affectionate pup is bursting with love—and energy! Noodle is a young girl with a big personality and an even bigger future; she’s likely to grow into a large dog, so she’ll need a family ready for all the fun (and challenges) that come with raising a big, bouncy companion.
  • Noodle is full-on in the best way: playful, curious, and always ready for action. She’ll thrive in a home that can offer her plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and most importantly, consistent training to help her grow into a well-mannered adult dog.
  • If you’re looking for a loyal, lively best friend and are ready to invest the time and energy into helping Noodle become her best self, she might just be the perfect addition to your family!
