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.

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!
