Sinatra
DOB 10/01/2020, 60 lbs
Sinatra is a fully mature adult dog in her prime years—physically strong, mentally steady, and typically well past the chaotic stages of youth.
Behaviorally, at 5 years old she is generally well-balanced and mature. She understands routines, expectations, and household rules much more clearly than a younger dog. She is calmer indoors, with energy that is more controlled and predictable, though she still enjoys daily exercise and activity.
Sinatra is often deeply loyal and closely bonded with her family. This mix tends to produce intelligent, protective, and highly aware dogs, so she may be naturally watchful of strangers while remaining affectionate and steady with people she trusts. She is usually confident rather than anxious, and her responses are more thoughtful than reactive.
She still needs regular physical exercise and mental stimulation—walks, structured play, or tasks that engage her mind—but she is less demanding than in her younger years.
Friendly with smaller dogs. Fully vetted, on heartworm/tick/flea prevention meds, and spayed.

We all know there’s nothing better than snuggles from a kitten or puppy. Our community loves providing new homes for these younger animals, and they often have the shortest length of stay in local shelters/rescues.
But that also means older animals may be overlooked – and they’re equally ready to be your new best friend.
Morgan is just that, an older gal who deserves her own place to call her own.

Xena
DOB 8/25/2025, 40 lbs
Xena is incredibly good-natured and sweet. She loves other dogs, and she's very gentle and patient. Because Xena has spent most of her time around other dogs, humans can be a little tricky for her to understand. She loves to be pet and to play, especially chase (so long as she's the one chasing YOU)! But, she is a bit baffled by the way humans move and communicate sometimes which is a little startling for her.
She has the sweetest little wagging tail that she waves around when she's unsure, just to let you know that she's friendly and sweet, even if you're a really weird human and she hasn't figured you out just yet. We are hopeful to rehome Xena with a family that will be a lot of fun! But also know when to slow down and let her adjust to new things. If that sounds like you, come and meet her! She's eager to have a yard to play in.
