When more dogs arrive than we can get out in a timely manner, our longest residents become URGENT. Often these are larger breed dogs that we adore but have simply been at the shelter too long with little to no interest from rescues, adopters, or fosters.

Foster Update Apr 14, 2026: Meet my foster dog, Lily! I saw her living in a neglectful situation and brought her home with me. I'm 82 years old and a big animal lover. I really love Lily, but she deserves a family that can include her in more fun activities than I can. Please let me introduce her to you. Lily is a dream! She has the typical energy of a 1 year old but also is happy to cuddle up on the couch with you. She is a smart girl who learns quickly and is eager to please her people. She gets along very well with the other dogs in my home. She finds cats too fun and will chase. She is crate trained and housebroken. She does good on leash. She rides well in the car. If she sees a treat, she heads to her kennel. That's her all things good place. She loves drinking water. I think that is because she was deprived of fresh water and food before I got her. She saw my other dogs getting brushed and now she absolutely loves being brushed too, though her coat really doesn't need it. She loves to play then also loves to lounge and nap. She likes for me to sit and hold her. She is very sweet. Lily is 1 year young, heartworm negative, and around 40lbs. Please help me find her a sweet family to grow up with. I don't want to take her to stay in a shelter kennel, and I'm hoping her forever family will see this. She is available for adoption or rescue, and I can schedule a meet-n-greet with your kids and other dogs. I love her, but she's more than an 82 year old can foster for very long so please share.
Thank you,
Paulette & Lily

Radio Pet of the Week Apr 15, 2026: Lori is our beautiful Pet of the Week featured on Rock 94.7 WWBD, sponsored by our friends at Purrs McBarkin'! What a rockstar Lori is! She was raised in a home and that clearly shines through. She has great manners and a desire to please her people. She loves water, a nod to the lab in her. She's wonderful with other dogs. While we always enjoy seeing Lori playful with her zoomies, we were reminded today too of her much softer side as she gently took treats, politely sat without direction, and rolled over for lots of belly rubs. She is gentle with children and just as polite in her cuddles. At 2.5 years mature and around 58lbs, she's simply an awesome dog! We are so impressed with Lori and can't believe she has been at our shelter since November. She is heartworm positive and we can help with that so let's get this great gal a family!
