Tinder
Adoption Pending!
Tinder is an 8-month-old chocolate Lab mix with a sweet, joyful spirit that lights up every room she enters. Originally adopted through our rescue, she was recently returned through no fault of her own and is now looking for a second chance at the forever home she truly deserves. Tinder is a delight to be around—playful, affectionate, and full of life. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with canine companions or an active family ready to give her the love and stability she needs. This girl is ready to bring joy to the right home—could it be yours?
Apollo
Adoption Pending!
Apollo is a 2-year-old Golden Retriever with a big heart and a sensitive soul. Due to a lack of socialization early in life, Apollo can become easily overstimulated in new or high-energy environments. While he has made significant progress with training and confidence-building, he still needs a patient, experienced home that understands his boundaries. Apollo is not a good fit for households with children under 14, as he requires calm and respectful handling. He also exhibits food aggression and should be left alone while eating or enjoying treats. With continued structure, love, and the right environment, Apollo has the potential to thrive and be a loyal companion.
Gigi
Gigi is a resilient and affectionate 2-year-old pit bull with a heart full of love. While much of her past is unknown, what is certain is that she has an incredible spirit and a deep desire for companionship. She was found extremely weak and malnourished, but despite her struggles, she remains a fighter. Gigi has limited use of her front legs, but that doesn’t stop her—she’s determined and has found her own way to get around. Though she’s not quite ready for a permanent home, she would greatly benefit from a dedicated foster who can provide the care, patience, and support she needs to regain her strength. With the right love and attention, Gigi will continue to show just how strong and special she truly is.
Jameson
Adoption Pending!

With his soft, fluffy coat and curious spirit, he’s ready to learn and grow with a patient and loving family.
