Meet Bentley — a silly, hyper, young boy with a big heart and even bigger energy. He’s all about playtime, zoomies, and making you laugh with his goofy antics. Bentley has a strong sense of ownership when it comes to his dinner bowl — he’ll proudly guard it like a tiny, polite watchdog (with a wagging tail).

Personality highlights:

  • Playful and energetic: fetch, tug, or a wild living room sprint — Bentley is in.

  • Loyal and affectionate: once he bonds, he’s all in for cuddles and companionship.

  • Protective of his food: he takes mealtime seriously and may need a calm routine around feeding.

  • Smart and eager to learn: channel that energy into training and games.

Best match:

  • An active family or person who loves play and can give him consistent exercise.

  • Someone patient who understands food guarding and will work with positive, reward-based training.

  • A home where he can be part of the family’s daily life and get plenty of attention and playtime.

If you’re ready for non-stop fun, a silly sidekick, and a devoted companion who’ll protect his bowl and your heart, Bentley might be your forever boy. Come meet him and see the joy he brings in person!

‍ ‍ KoKo

Koko is a beautiful girl who is highly energetic. She explodes into a room like confetti—bright, loud, and impossible to ignore. Her laughter is contagious, a high, tinkling sound that bounces off walls and lifts the whole vibe. She moves with a joyful urgency: skipping instead of walking, turning errands into mini-adventures, and treating every stick or puddle like a treasure.

Her energy isn’t frantic; it’s focused and curious. Koko asks a million questions but listens to every answer, eyes wide and attentive. She’s quick to volunteer for silly tasks and even quicker to comfort a friend with an earnest hug. People are drawn to her because she makes ordinary moments feel special: she’ll name the clouds, choreograph impromptu dances in the kitchen, and cheer for the small victories like someone presiding over a parade.

Beneath the effervescence is a thoughtful spark. Koko notices the little things others miss—a tucked-away toy, a brow furrowed in worry—and acts with surprising tenderness. She channels her boundless enthusiasm into creativity: doodling fantastical creatures, arranging mismatched socks into “sock art,” and inventing games that turn rainy days into treasure hunts.

Koko isn’t perfect. Her energy can be overwhelming, and she sometimes blunders into trouble because she’s moving faster than her thoughts. But her mistakes are delivered with humility and a quick, genuine apology, and she learns with the same eager intensity she uses to explore. People forgive her because her heart is obvious and her joy is pure.

In short, Koko is a burst of sunshine wrapped in curiosity—an energetic spirit who makes everything around her a little brighter, a little sillier, and a lot more alive.

Bud

02/02/2025, M, 40 lbs

Bud is a new resident here at the sanctuary that would greatly benefit in finding a foster home so he can have the freedom to go outside when he needs to. He is completely house trained and kennel trained. He thrives best not being kenneled.

I see Bud as a perfect companion for a truck driver who lets him co pilot and enjoy life. Bud would also do great along with dogs of his size. He definitely needs a nice size fenced in yard to run and roam. I also see him as someone's couch potatoe hanging out with his person. Foster family or forever family this guy deserves it!!!

He can not be around cats, smaller animals- such as guinea pigs, birds and smaller dogs.

He got alot of attention at petsmart yesterday and we know his forever is out there.

Let's get Bud seen...by sharing him and letting him shine

Sanctuary Dogs

Dixie

Dixie is a pitbull female who came into my care Nov. 2023. She was an owner surrender along with several other dogs that went to the Polk County Shelter 6/30/2023. I fostered Dixie in hopes she would find the right home ( 11/2023) 

Dixie tested heartworm positive and started doxy around Feb 2024, only the first treatment was given. Dixie was taken for her spay to DeHart but they would not spay her due to her being overweight.

Nothing else was done to or wirth Dixie and I decided to adopt her from ALM August 2025 to make her a sanctuary dog.
