Ducey (A055031) ***TIME IS UP TODAY** NEEDS RESCUE COMMITMENT ASAP to avoid E-list TOMORROW OR MONDAY -- CANNOT HOLD ANY LONGER!!
Breed/Type: Hound/lab mix
Age: 1 year
Sex: Female Unspayed
Weight: 52 lbs
Heartworm Status: Negative
Dog-friendly? Yes, currently kenneled with Lady and Caramel.
Notes/What We Know: Ducey is a tender‑hearted girl who came to us after a life without much stability. She’s naturally on the shy side and takes her time getting comfortable, but once she feels safe, you can see how much she wants to connect. She’s dog‑friendly, polite, and quietly affectionate! the kind of pup who watches the world carefully before easing in. Ducey is still learning the basics like leash walking and building confidence, but she tries with her whole heart. With steady reassurance and a calm home, she’ll unfold into the loving, loyal companion she’s meant to be.
Rue (A055633) **TIME IS UP TODAY** NEEDS RESCUE COMMITMENT ASAP to avoid E-list TOMORROW OR MONDAY -- CANNOT HOLD ANY LONGER!!
Breed/Type: Australian shepherd/lab mix
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female Unspayed
Weight: 30 lbs
Heartworm Status: Negative
Dog-friendly? Yes, currently kenneled with Buglet.
Notes/What We Know: Rue came into our managed intake program after her owner could no longer care for her. She’s a scared, timid little sweetheart who’s still figuring out the world, but even in her nervous moments she shows her soft heart. She gave us kisses before she was even brought into the shelter. Talk to her gently and her tail starts to wag, letting you know she wants to trust. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, Rue’s true personality will blossom into something really special we believe.
Chance (A055609) and Red (A055610) **TIME IS UP 5/30** NEEDS RESCUE COMMITMENT ASAP to avoid E-list NEXT WEEK
Breed/Type: Pitbull mixes
Age: 1 ½ years - 2 years
Sex: Chance is Unneutered, Red is Neutered!
Weight: 56 lbs. & 75 lbs.
Heartworm Status: Negative
Dog-friendly? Yes, so far great with others
Notes/What We Know: Look at those ears! These sweet mellow and goofy boys came in together under a court order but do not need to leave together (though they do get along well). They love lounging on the couch, walk nicely on a leash, and are always ready for treats and cuddles.
Chance handled his heartworm test like a champ, while Red was a little unsure at first—but with a little reassurance, he settled in and did just fine.
Waddle (A055943) **TIME IS UP on 6/1** NEEDS RESCUE COMMITMENT ASAP to avoid E-list NEXT WEEK
Breed/Type: Am Staff/mix
Age: 5 years old
Sex: Male, Unneutered
Weight: 48 lbs.
Heartworm Status: Positive
Dog-friendly? Yes
Notes/What We Know: THE sweetest soul. Waddle was found as a stray and leans into affection. It’s like he’s finally discovering what human kindness feels like. He’s a snuggler who—since the moment he knew he COULD snuggle—gets close and comfortable. It is truly as if he’s saying “I have never known this. Thank you.” Waddle’s got a tender personality. He's extremely hard not to love. We also have a vid available upon request of him snuggling with Alexa.
Storyteller (A055940) **TIME IS UP on 6/1** NEEDS RESCUE COMMITMENT ASAP to avoid E-list NEXT WEEK
Breed/Type: GSD, cream
Age: ~3 years old
Sex: Male, Unneutered
Weight: 46 lbs.
Heartworm Status: **Will be testing on 5/27**
Dog-friendly? Yes
Notes/What We Know: Storyteller is still settling in after what was likely a long stretch surviving on his own. So far he’s had a super soft, people-friendly and dog-friendly nature. He may still be decompressing, but we can already see the potential for his personality to blossom once he finally gets the chance to feel safe and cared for.
Bartholomew (A055936)
Breed/Type: Lab, Chocolate
Age: ~12 years old
Sex: Male, Unneutered
Weight: 62 lbs.
Heartworm Status: Negative
Dog-friendly? Yes, he is kenneled with other males and has had zero issue with them.
Notes/What We Know: Ultra frosted-face magic! Bartholomew is a sweet old gentleman with the softest frosty face and kind eyes! He spent the last week in a finder’s care while efforts were made to locate an owner, but no one came for him. We encouraged the finder to pursue rehoming, but he shared that he was not in a position to do so. Bartholomew is a gentle old boy who deserves to live out his golden years well.
