Raisin Bran "Rae"
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 2-5-25
Shepherd/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Female : Spayed
HONOR FARM TRAINED
Meet Raisin Bran, a shy first impression wrapped around an endlessly wiggly little personality.
When meeting new people, Raisin Bran can be incredibly timid at first. She’ll often stay toward the back of her kennel, bark nervously, and act like accepting a treat from a stranger may be the most suspicious activity she has ever witnessed. She much prefers taking a moment to observe new people before deciding whether they pass her very serious emotional background check.
But once Raisin Bran realizes she’s safe, everything changes.
Suddenly, the timid little wallflower turns into an excited, squirmy, happy little chaos noodle that seemingly never stops moving. She absolutely loves interacting with people and has the cutest habit of doing a tiny little army crawl while wiggling herself across the ground in excitement.
One of her favorite games involves jumping up as close as possible for attention, only to bounce away the second you try to pet her, before immediately coming back to do it all over again. It’s less “avoiding affection” and more “this is now a game and we are all participating whether you were ready or not.”
Raisin Bran is also an Honor Farm graduate and did wonderfully in her training program. She walks beautifully on a leash, has excellent recall, picks up on routines and habits very quickly, and keeps an exceptionally clean kennel. She genuinely enjoys structure and seems to thrive when she understands the routine around her.
With other dogs, Raisin Bran can be selective and definitely enjoys talking a little smack from a comfortable distance, but she is not nearly as confrontational as some dogs can be. She did successfully coexist with multiple other dogs during her Honor Farm training, which shows she absolutely has the potential to thrive in a multi dog household with proper introductions, patience, and compatible personalities.
As for cats, Raisin Bran mostly seems uninterested if they are calmly existing and minding their own business. A lounging cat or a cat simply walking around casually does not appear to bother her much. However, if a cat suddenly runs, she does show curiosity and interest, so adopters should keep in mind that her full reactions in a home environment are still somewhat unknown.
Underneath her nervous first impressions is an incredibly fun, affectionate, intelligent little dog with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Raisin Bran is looking for someone willing to give her a little patience upfront so they can experience the goofy, wiggly, lovable dog waiting underneath.
Ripple
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 12-1-24
Labrador/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
HONOR FARM TRAINED
Meet Ripple, an Honor Farm Graduate with a whole lot of energy, personality, and quite possibly the weirdest bark ever produced by a dog. Ripple does not bark normally. Ripple sounds like a squeaky toy attempting to whisper secrets through a kazoo. Sometimes it’s a tiny muffled “mrrrp,” sometimes it sounds like he is quietly arguing with the air itself. It is impossible to hear it and not immediately start laughing. Once you hear Ripple bark, you will remember Ripple forever.
Ripple is a high-energy boy who loves being involved in absolutely everything happening around him. He gets excited quickly, loves attention, and approaches life like every day has the potential to become the greatest adventure he has ever experienced. Walks, playtime, yard zoomies, investigating suspicious leaves, emotionally supporting you while you do chores — Ripple would like to participate immediately.
Thanks to his Honor Farm training, Ripple already has a wonderful foundation of manners. He knows sit, is doing very well with stay, and genuinely enjoys learning and working with people. He walks fairly well on a leash too, though fair warning: the first few minutes of every walk are conducted with the enthusiasm of a man late for an important business meeting. Ripple tends to pull and tug until he realizes this is a real walk and not a brief field trip to disappointment. Once he settles in, he walks much more nicely.
Ripple is also incredibly smart and has absolutely no problem figuring things out, including how hinges and gates operate. Secure latches are highly recommended because Ripple fully believes obstacles are simply puzzles that haven’t been solved yet.
Underneath all the chaos, squeaks, and enthusiasm, Ripple is an affectionate, goofy little guy who genuinely loves his people and thrives on interaction, enrichment, and attention. He is smart, funny, full of personality, and honestly one of those dogs you cannot help but adore once you spend time with him.
If you are looking for a dog with excellent manners, nonstop entertainment value, and a bark that sounds like a haunted squeaky toy trying to be polite, Ripple is ready to meet you.
Fidget
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 11-7-2023
American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Mix
Female : Spayed
HONOR FARM TRAINED
Meet Fidget, a stunning girl with bright eyes, built in mascara, and a colorful coat that somehow matches her larger than life personality perfectly.
True to her name, Fidget is playful, energetic, and always ready to be involved in whatever is happening around her. She loves staying busy, exploring, and adding her own creative touch to her kennel setup by enthusiastically rearranging blankets, bedding, and occasionally conducting a little unauthorized interior decorating project of her own.
But underneath all that personality is also an incredibly affectionate dog who absolutely loves people and settles into a world class snuggler once she’s had the chance to burn off some energy.
Fidget also completed training through the Honor Farm program, where she did very well working on basic manners and structure. She walks nicely on a leash, though she may spend the first few minutes a little excited and eager to get moving before quickly settling into a much calmer rhythm once she realizes she’s in it for a nice long walk. She also has wonderful recall and genuinely enjoys engaging with her people.
While Fidget can be selective with other dogs, she has shown that she is capable of doing very well with proper introductions. During her time in training, she successfully lived and played alongside a group of three other dogs without issue once everyone had the opportunity to settle in appropriately. Because of this, slow and respectful introductions to potential canine companions will be important for her continued success.
Fidget is the kind of dog that fills a room with personality the moment she walks into it. She’s goofy, loving, expressive, and endlessly entertaining while still being incredibly loyal and affectionate with the people she trusts.
If you’re looking for a beautiful best friend with a huge personality, a playful spirit, and plenty of love to give, Fidget may be exactly who you’ve been searching for.
Shotgun
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 2-5-2025
Labrador/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
HONOR FARM TRAINED
Meet Shotgun, a dog who was very accurately named because this boy comes flying out of the gate at Mach 10 with excitement when it’s time to play.
Shotgun is pure enthusiasm wrapped in floppy ears and a permanently happy expression. He absolutely loves people, greets life like it’s the best day ever invented, and is always ready for whatever adventure might happen next. Walks, lake trips, swimming, running around the yard, playing with kids, or simply being included in the action all sound like excellent plans to Shotgun.
He would especially thrive in an active household that enjoys fun, movement, and dogs with larger than life personalities. Kids with lots of energy would likely adore him, because honestly, Shotgun operates on the same level of excitement as a group of children discovering there’s no school tomorrow.
But despite all the energy and goofy chaos, Shotgun is not a difficult or unmanageable dog. He is an Honor Farm graduate and has done wonderfully with training, structure, and routine. He walks beautifully on a leash, has great recall, understands commands like sit and stay, and genuinely wants to engage and listen to his person. Once he’s had the chance to play and get some energy out, he settles down very nicely and absolutely has a calm, affectionate side to him.
Now, there is one very important thing future adopters should know about Shotgun: bathroom schedules matter.
Shotgun thrives when kept on a regular potty routine, and as long as you stay consistent, he continues making really great progress. However, if his established schedule gets skipped or pushed too far past his usual timing, this boy may take matters into his own paws in ways that can only be described as… impressively catastrophic.
Respectfully, Shotgun does not simply make a mess. He creates an event.
The good news is that this is very manageable with consistency, routine, and keeping him on a proper schedule. He’s trying his absolute best, and he genuinely does improve when given structure and clear expectations.
Underneath all the chaos and comedy is an incredibly loving dog with a huge heart and enough personality to keep an entire household smiling. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, adventure loving best friend that can keep up with the fun but still settle in beside you afterward, Shotgun may be your perfect match.
Aladin
Adoption Fee $175
Estimated DOB: 11-18-2025
Black Mouth Cur Mix
Male : Neutered
PARTIAL HONOR FARM TRAINING
Meet Aladin, our chaotic little goblin prince, part-time cuddle bug, full-time chicken nugget investigator, and one of the funniest dogs you will ever meet. This boy is absolutely overflowing with personality. If there is fun to be had, Aladin intends to be directly in the center of it, preferably carrying a stick twice his size while making questionable life choices at full speed.
Aladin LOVES people. He loves attention, loves snuggles, loves adventures, loves walks, loves car rides, and very strongly believes personal space is a fake concept invented by cowards. During one of his shelter outings, he rode beautifully in the car and acted like he had been preparing emotionally for a road trip montage his entire life.
He is also deeply committed to the pursuit of chicken nuggets. Not casually interested. Spiritually connected. If nuggets exist nearby, Aladin somehow knows. He will locate them. He will manifest them. Honestly, we respect the dedication.
This goofy little man has all the makings of an absolutely wonderful companion. He’s clingy in the best way, incredibly affectionate, playful, hilarious to watch, and packed full of puppy energy and enthusiasm for life. He genuinely wants to be involved in everything his people are doing at all times.
Now, with that being said, Aladin does come with one very important note. Unfortunately, he was unable to complete his Honor Farm training because of behavioral issues around other animals. While he often appears to begin interactions playfully, he can become overly intense and escalate in ways that are not safe for other pets. Because of this, Aladin will need to be the one and only animal in the home, and we do not believe a home with cats would be the right fit for him either.
We also believe Aladin could greatly benefit from continued work with a professional trainer who specializes in behavioral challenges and overstimulation during play. He is still very young, incredibly smart, and very eager to engage with the world around him, so having the right structure, guidance, and boundaries could make a huge difference for him moving forward.
The important thing to understand is that Aladin is not mean spirited. Honestly, half the time he seems genuinely confused that everyone else is not enjoying the chaos as much as he is. He is still mentally very puppy-like, incredibly emotional, extremely people-oriented, and has a huge heart underneath all the gremlin energy.
For the right home, Aladin is going to be an absolute blast. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh daily, follow you from room to room like a devoted little cryptid, aggressively supervise snack time, and then curl up beside you afterward like he has never done anything questionable in his life.
He may need to be your one and only pet, but Aladin has enough personality to fill the entire house all by himself.
Clyde
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 11-8-2021
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
Meet Clyde, one of those dogs who desperately needs people to understand that kennel behavior is not the same thing as real life. Inside the kennel, he can sound big, loud, and opinionated about absolutely everything happening around him. Outside the kennel? Completely different dog.
Once Clyde is out and comfortable, he turns into a giant goofy companion who loves being near his people and takes his job as “professional fetch enthusiast” very seriously. If there is a ball involved, Clyde would like to formally volunteer for the activity immediately. He loves walks, yard time, hanging out with his humans, and supervising daily life like a very large emotional support coworker.
Clyde is a big, handsome boy with a stunning coat and an even bigger personality, but underneath all the noise and bravado is a genuinely affectionate dog who bonds deeply with the people he trusts. He enjoys structure, routine, and having the chance to settle in at his own pace. Once he does, you start seeing the softer side of him very quickly.
He is dog-selective, so slow and respectful introductions with other dogs are important. Clyde does best with people who understand that not every dog walks into a room acting like a social butterfly immediately, and that is perfectly okay.
Truthfully, Clyde is one of those dogs who becomes incredibly rewarding once you stop judging him by his kennel presentation. Give him a ball, a little patience, and a chance to decompress, and suddenly you realize this giant “scary shelter dog” is actually just a goofy man built like a linebacker with very strong opinions and a soft spot for fetch.
If you are looking for a loyal companion with personality, humor, and a whole lot of heart, Clyde is ready to meet you.
Rudy
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 1-10-2024
American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
Rudy is a sweet, intelligent boy with a gentle heart and a personality that truly shines once he feels comfortable. While he may take a little time to warm up to new people and environments, the patience is more than worth it. Once Rudy trusts you, he transforms into a playful, affectionate goofball who loves cuddles, attention, and spending time with his people.
Rudy would likely do best in a calmer home environment with people who understand the importance of allowing a dog to acclimate at his own pace. His comfort timeline can vary depending on the situation, but with patience, kindness, and consistency, he forms strong and rewarding bonds.
He is smart, observant, and responds well to loving structure and guidance. Rudy would benefit from an adopter who understands how to gently redirect behaviors while continuing to build his confidence and trust.
Rudy also has potential to live successfully with another dog or even a feline companion, provided introductions are slow, supervised, and respectful. He tends to do best with animals that respect his boundaries and personal space.
Once settled in, Rudy’s fun-loving side really comes alive. He enjoys adventures, outdoor time, and seems like the kind of dog who would happily join you on hikes, lake trips, or quiet explorations. He also genuinely enjoys simply relaxing in the sunshine and peacefully sunbathing beside someone he trusts. At the end of the day, though, he’s just as happy curling up beside his person for some quiet affection and downtime.
Rudy may be a little apprehensive at first, but underneath that cautious exterior is an incredibly loyal, loving companion waiting for the right person to give him the chance he deserves.
Scoob
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 4-20-2023
Black Mouth Cur/Bully Mix
Male : Neutered
Meet Scoob, a high energy adventure buddy disguised as a dog and powered almost entirely by enthusiasm, questionable decisions, and the overwhelming desire to be involved in absolutely everything you are doing.
Scoob loves being active, spending time with his people, and having room to stretch his legs, but he’s not the kind of dog that needs constant chaos every second of the day. Once he’s had a chance to get some energy out and spend time with you, he settles down nicely and does especially well in calm environments during the evening.
He walks beautifully on a leash, has fairly solid recall once he’s comfortable with his person, and genuinely enjoys being included in whatever you’re doing. He’s eager to engage, loves attention, and benefits tremendously from consistency, structure, and positive interaction.
And as a very important public service announcement: Scoob can clear a 6 foot fence in a single jump like he’s auditioning for the Olympics. Because of this, he will need either extremely secure, tall fencing or a home committed to giving him plenty of structured exercise and supervised outdoor time.
Scoob also does well around other dogs. He’s not necessarily trying to become the life of the dog party, but he comfortably coexists around them and is generally more interested in whatever exciting thing might be happening nearby.
And somehow, despite all the athleticism and gremlin energy, Scoob also has one of the most adorable scrunchy little faces imaginable, which makes it incredibly difficult to stay annoyed with him for more than about three seconds.
Underneath all the personality is a goofy, affectionate dog who simply wants an active, loving home that will embrace both his energetic side and his calmer moments. If you’re looking for a loyal companion that will keep life entertaining without being completely nonstop, Scoob may be your perfect match.
Buddy Baxter
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 1-10-2023
Border Collie/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
Meet Buddy Baxter, a reserved but playful boy with a huge personality once you take the time to get to know him. While he can be a little cautious with new people at first and likes to warm up at his own pace, the moment he feels comfortable, you start seeing the incredibly sweet, goofy dog hiding underneath all that careful observation.
Buddy is very opinionated and has absolutely no problem sharing his thoughts about a situation. One of his favorite activities involves grabbing a rope toy and whipping himself around his kennel like a tiny tornado, fully committed to the performance. He’s playful, expressive, and endlessly entertaining once his personality starts shining through.
With unfamiliar people, Buddy appreciates calm introductions and people being mindful of his personal space. He prefers to approach and initiate interaction on his own terms rather than feeling crowded or pressured right away. He can also be sensitive about direct eye contact from people he doesn’t know yet, so patience and calm energy go a very long way with him.
But once Buddy trusts you, he turns into an absolute goober. He becomes affectionate, goofy, loving, and very eager to be close to his people. He’s the kind of dog that will happily climb into your space for attention, affection, hugs, kisses, and quality time once that bond has been built.
Buddy does have some trouble with recall and can become distracted fairly easily, but he is absolutely capable of learning with patience, consistency, and someone willing to work with him at his pace. He isn’t difficult so much as easily sidetracked by literally everything happening around him. Once he’s focused, though, he genuinely wants to engage with his person and has a lot of potential to continue building confidence and skills.
As for other animals, Buddy previously struggled living with another male dog in a home environment. Because of that, careful introductions and thoughtful placement will be important. There is a strong possibility that he may do better with female dogs or calmer companions, but any introductions should still be taken slowly and respectfully. With cats, we simply aren’t entirely sure. We believe all animals deserve thoughtful introductions and the opportunity to adjust properly, but adopters should be aware that there is always a possibility things may not transition perfectly.
Underneath his cautious moments and strong opinions is an incredibly loving dog who simply wants someone willing to understand him, respect his boundaries, and appreciate all the goofy little quirks that make him who he is. Once Buddy trusts you, he becomes an unbelievably rewarding companion with a sweet nature and a lot of love to give.
Sheba
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 8-12-2024
Labrador Mix
Female : Spayed
Sheba is a beautiful Lab mix with one of the sweetest, softest demeanors you could ask for in a companion. She has a gentle, loving personality and truly seems to enjoy being around people. Whether she’s relaxing quietly beside you or enjoying time outdoors, Sheba carries herself with a calm and affectionate nature that makes her easy to adore.
She has wonderful kennel manners, keeps her space very clean, and walks beautifully on leash with minimal pulling. Sheba stays close to her handler and seems very eager to connect with the people around her. Because of her intelligence and calm temperament, we believe she would excel in continued training and bonding activities.
Sheba also shows strong potential to live successfully with another animal companion, whether canine or feline. As with any introduction, slow and supervised meetings are always recommended, but she has shown many positive signs that suggest she could thrive in the right multi-pet home.
She absolutely loves spending time outside and enjoys playyard time just as much as quiet affection and companionship. A home with a secure yard and a taller fence would likely suit her best, as she can be curious about the world around her. However, with proper enrichment, attention, and love, we believe Sheba will be happiest staying close to her people.
Most of all, Sheba simply wants to be someone’s best friend. She has the kind of loving, steady personality that makes a house feel more like home.
Maggie
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 4-1-2023
Shiba Inu/Labrador Mix
Female : Spayed
Meet Maggie
If Maggie were a person, she would not be the one introducing herself at the party.
She'd be standing across the room watching everyone first.
Maggie isn't the type of dog who instantly throws herself into the arms of every stranger she meets. When meeting new people, she tends to be cautious and reserved. If you stop by her kennel for the first time, there's a decent chance she'll be standing in the back telling you exactly how she feels about this whole stranger situation.
The important thing to know is that Maggie's first impression is not her final form.
Give her a little time, a little patience, and maybe a treat or two, and you'll start to see her guard come down. Once she decides you're safe, Maggie becomes a completely different dog. The barking settles, the worry fades, and suddenly you're getting to meet the sweet, playful girl that's been hiding behind all that caution.
Because of this, Maggie isn't really a walk-by-and-fall-in-love kind of dog. She's more of a second-date dog.
The people who tend to appreciate Maggie most are the ones willing to spend a little time getting to know her. The ones who understand that trust is something earned, not automatically given.
Her personality with other dogs is similar. Maggie can be selective and generally seems to prefer male dogs over female dogs. She isn't usually interested in starting trouble, but she is confident enough that if another dog decides to push the issue, Maggie is unlikely to be the one backing down. For that reason, dog introductions should be handled thoughtfully and with proper supervision.
Maggie would benefit from continued training and guidance, particularly when it comes to navigating high-arousal situations with other dogs. She is a smart girl with strong opinions, and like many smart dogs, she does best when given structure, consistency, and clear expectations.
The best way to describe Maggie is that she's worth getting to know.
She's not the dog who's going to charm every person who walks past her kennel.
She's the dog who picks her people carefully and then makes them feel special for being chosen.
Alter
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 9-29-2022
Labrador Mix
Male: Neutered
Meet Alter
Alter lives life with one simple philosophy:
If some excitement is good, then more excitement must be better.
This philosophy has led him to become a very happy dog and occasionally the reason we have to say things like, "Alter, buddy, please slow down."
When Alter is excited, his whole body gets involved. He wiggles, he flops onto his back, he leans against you, he tries to participate in whatever you're doing, and if you're not currently doing anything, he'll happily solve that problem by making himself your activity.
Personal space is not something Alter believes in. If you're sitting down, he'd like to be next to you. If he's already next to you, he'd like to be touching you. If he's already touching you, he'd like to know if you've considered additional touching.
Food is another area where Alter's enthusiasm occasionally overrides common sense. Alter is firmly convinced that every meal may be the greatest meal ever served in the history of dogs. As a result, he sometimes eats with the urgency of a dog who has received alarming news about the future availability of kibble. We've found he does best when he takes a moment to settle before meals and treats, otherwise his stomach occasionally reminds him that enthusiasm is not, in fact, a food group.
Walks are much the same. Alter likes to throw his whole heart into them, along with most of his body weight. He's working on leash manners and learning that every destination can still be reached without dragging his human there personally.
One thing we have noticed is that Alter seems like he would enjoy having another dog around. The catch is that his future canine roommate should probably appreciate his particular brand of friendship. Alter believes friends should be involved in each other's lives. Constantly. He wants to know what they're doing, where they're going, what they're sniffing, and whether they'd like company while doing it. Fortunately, most of his interactions come from a place of excitement and enthusiasm rather than conflict. The bigger question is whether the other dog will appreciate having an overly friendly coworker who never takes a day off.
At the end of the day, Alter is just a genuinely happy dog. He wakes up every morning ready to participate in life, preferably with other people, other dogs, and absolutely no unnecessary waiting involved.
If you're looking for a quiet dog who minds his own business, Alter wishes you the best in your search.
If you're looking for a dog who wants to be part of every moment of your day, Alter has already volunteered.
Shakira
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 5-12-2024
Heeler/American Staffordshire Mix
Female: Spayed
Meet Shakira
You can usually tell how Shakira feels about somebody by watching her butt.
Seriously.
Most dogs wag their tails. Shakira seems to put her entire back end into the process. The moment she spots somebody she likes, the wiggle starts, which is how she ended up with the name Shakira in the first place. It didn't take long for the staff to notice that her hips, in fact, do not lie.
Shakira is a sweet girl who genuinely enjoys being around people. She's happiest when she's included in whatever is going on and would much rather spend time with a person than entertain herself with a pile of toys. In Shakira's world, people are generally where the good stuff happens.
Treats certainly don't hurt, either.
We think Shakira would do especially well with older children. She seems like the kind of dog who would love having a family to spend time with, whether that's playing outside, hanging out in the yard, or simply being involved in the day's activities. She doesn't need to be the center of attention every second, but she definitely enjoys being part of the group.
Like any dog, Shakira will benefit from continued guidance and training, but she already has a lot going for her. She's well behaved, affectionate, and has a personality that tends to win people over pretty quickly.
When it comes to other dogs, Shakira can be selective about her companions. She's not opposed to sharing a home with another dog, but she'd appreciate the opportunity to meet them first. As always, proper introductions are important, and finding the right fit matters far more than simply finding another dog.
We don't know exactly how Shakira found her way to us, but we'd recommend a secure fence and a safe place to stretch her legs. She seems like the kind of dog who would enjoy having room to explore while still keeping an eye on what her people are doing.
The best thing about Shakira is that she's genuinely easy to enjoy. She's sweet, affectionate, happy to be included, and carries herself with the kind of cheerful energy that makes people smile.
And if you're ever wondering whether she likes you, don't bother checking her tail.
Watch the hips.
Nebula
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 5-22-2024
Labrador/Hound Mix
Female: Spayed
Meet Nebula
Nebula seems to approach life with the confidence of someone who is absolutely certain everything is going to work out.
She may not know what's happening.
She may not know where we're going.
She may not know why everyone is suddenly walking in this direction.
But she's excited to be included.
Nebula is a sweet, playful girl who always seems ready for the next adventure, even if she hasn't quite figured out what the adventure is yet. She enjoys running around the yard, investigating important business, and occasionally spinning in circles because apparently that makes perfect sense to her.
One thing Nebula knows for certain is that treats are important.
Very important.
If there are snacks involved, Nebula is paying attention. She has been known to help herself to treats with impressive speed and determination, which means future snack owners should remain alert and keep their fingers out of the negotiation process.
When it comes to walks, Nebula can be enthusiastic on leash and tends to pull. We suspect a lot of that comes from excitement. After all, when you've been waiting in a kennel and somebody suddenly announces it's time to go somewhere, subtlety isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind.
Nebula is generally a happy, easygoing dog who seems to enjoy just about everyone. We think she'd likely do well with children, would probably enjoy having feline friends, and could potentially share a home with another dog. She'd simply appreciate the opportunity to meet any future roommates before moving in.
The funny thing about Nebula is that she doesn't have a giant dramatic personality trait that takes over the room. She's just fun. The kind of dog who makes you smile because she's having such a good time being herself.
She's sweet, she's playful, she's treat-motivated enough to keep life interesting, and she has a habit of making ordinary moments feel a little more entertaining.
Honestly, Nebula gives off strong "happy to be here" energy.
And sometimes that's exactly the kind of dog people are looking for.
Honey
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 3-5-2022
Labrador/Border Collie Mix
Female: Spayed
Meet Honey
Honey has two settings.
The first setting is FULL SEND.
The second setting is cuddles.
There does not appear to be a third option.
According to her previous owner, when Honey comes inside, there is approximately a fifteen-minute period where she must celebrate being indoors. Every room should be checked. Every person should be greeted. Every exciting thing should be acknowledged. It's less of a homecoming and more of an event.
Then, as if somebody flipped a switch, Honey settles down and becomes a total sweetheart who wants nothing more than to snuggle up with her people.
For all her enthusiasm, Honey is incredibly affectionate. She loves attention, enjoys being included, and seems happiest when she's part of whatever her family is doing.
She also has some very strong opinions about toys.
Specifically, that they should be destroyed.
Most dogs play with toys.
Honey appears to view toys as a challenge.
The toy arrives.
The toy exists.
The toy no longer exists.
Mystery solved.
Fortunately, Honey has shown much better judgment when it comes to hard bones and pig ears, which tend to survive the relationship considerably longer.
She's also reportedly a fan of receiving her own little steak whenever the grill gets fired up. Honey has apparently decided this is a perfectly reasonable arrangement, and honestly, we're not here to argue with her.
When it comes to other animals, Honey has successfully lived with them in the past and did well with her sister. Based on what we've been told, she appears capable of sharing her home with other pets. As with any new relationship, she'd appreciate proper introductions and a chance to get acquainted before making any long-term roommate decisions.
We believe she'd likely do well with children, especially those who understand that sometimes excitement happens first and calm happens later.
The best way to describe Honey is that she loves life with her entire body.
She gets excited with her entire body.
She cuddles with her entire body.
She destroys toys with her entire body.
And if you're lucky enough to earn her affection, she'll love you with her entire body too.
Just maybe don't leave the squeaky toy unattended.
Bee
Adoption Fee $150
Estimated DOB: 3-5-2023
Golden Retriever/Border Collie Mix
Female: Spayed
Meet Bee
Bee gives an excellent first impression.
She's dainty, affectionate, enjoys being around her people, and has a way of carrying herself that makes you think she's a proper young lady.
For a while, anyway.
Then Bee decides she has an opinion.
Or spots something she would like to comment on.
Or determines that somebody, somewhere, is making questionable decisions.
And suddenly the illusion begins to crack.
Bee is a sweet, loving girl who enjoys attention and being part of the family. She likes spending time with her people and is more than happy to settle in for affection once she's comfortable.
Unlike some dogs, Bee doesn't seem particularly interested in toys. She has bigger things to concern herself with. While other dogs are busy deciding which squeaky toy is their favorite, Bee appears content to focus on the important matters of the day.
What those matters are remains unclear.
Bee isn't telling.
She reportedly did very well with her sister and has experience living with another dog. That said, Bee can be a little more particular about her companions than some dogs and may need a bit more consideration when it comes to choosing friends. We believe many animals can successfully coexist when introductions are handled thoughtfully, and Bee would appreciate the opportunity to meet any future roommates before making any final decisions.
We believe she'd likely do well with children and would enjoy being part of a family that includes her in daily life. She's affectionate, engaging, and enjoys having people around.
The best way to describe Bee is that she presents herself as a proper lady.
And most of the time, she is.
Then every now and then she'll share an opinion nobody asked for and remind everyone that beneath that dainty exterior is a dog with a surprisingly bold personality.
Honestly, Bee isn't trying to cause trouble.

Mogwai
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 9-1-2025
Labrador/Shepherd Mix
Male : Neutered
CURRENTLY TRAINING AT HONOR FARM: Returns 6-25-26
Meet Mogwai, a sweet and sensitive boy currently training at the Honor Farm, where he’s continuing to build confidence, structure, and social skills. From the updates we’ve received so far, it sounds like he’s making steady progress and doing well, but we also wanted to share a little bit about the lovable, awkward personality we came to know before he left for training.
When Mogwai first arrived at the shelter, his primary life strategy seemed to involve immediately rolling onto his back and politely informing everyone that he meant absolutely no harm whatsoever. People? Belly up. New dogs? Belly up. Slightly stressful situation? Belly up. The boy approached life with the energy of someone desperately trying to avoid being involved in conflict of any kind.
Despite being timid and unsure of himself, Mogwai always wanted to be included. He genuinely tried his best to fit in, play with the other dogs, and be part of the group, even when his confidence occasionally struggled to keep up with his heart. He has always had an incredibly loving, gentle disposition and is the kind of dog who wants so badly to be somebody’s best friend.
Mogwai may not have been the loudest or most assertive personality in the room, but what he lacked in confidence, he more than made up for in sweetness. He’s affectionate, soft natured, eager to connect with people, and honestly has one of those faces that makes you immediately want to reassure him that everything is going to be okay.
From what we’ve heard, Mogwai is already improving greatly at the Honor Farm and continuing to work on becoming more confident and secure in himself. He still has a sensitive nature and can occasionally be a bit of a pushover with stronger personalities, but he’s learning, adapting, and slowly starting to realize he does not actually need to apologize for existing every five seconds.
Underneath the nervousness is an incredibly loving dog who simply wants patience, kindness, and somebody willing to help him continue building confidence at his own pace. With time, encouragement, and continued structure, we truly believe Mogwai is going to grow into an absolutely wonderful companion.
Peaches
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 4-15-2025
Labrador/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Female : Spayed
CURRENTLY TRAINING AT HONOR FARM: Returns 6-25-26
Meet Peaches, a stunning gray girl with striking golden eyes, endless personality, and the confidence of someone who absolutely knows she is the prettiest dog in the room at all times. Seriously, Peaches carries herself like she expects paparazzi, and honestly, she has the face to back it up.
Peaches is currently training at the Honor Farm, where she’s working hard on structure, manners, and channeling all that big energy in productive ways. While she is away training, we wanted to share a little bit about the goofy, chaotic, and lovable personality she showed during her time here at the shelter because Peaches definitely left an impression.
Before heading to the Honor Farm, Peaches was extremely energetic, incredibly smart, and always ready to turn an ordinary day into some kind of adventure, whether you asked for one or not. This girl was FAST. If a door opened unexpectedly, Peaches fully believed that was a formal invitation to begin a dramatic sprint into the horizon. She was never much of a fence climber once properly secured, but she absolutely knew how to take advantage of opportunities when they appeared.
She also had a hilarious little habit of making rounds past other dogs’ kennels just to stir the pot and involve herself in business that absolutely did not concern her. Peaches has the energy of somebody who needs to know what everybody else is doing at all times. Curious, social, mischievous, and just a tiny bit dramatic, she kept us entertained constantly.
Despite all the chaos, Peaches was also incredibly affectionate, playful, and full of charm. She thrives on activity, attention, and enrichment, and underneath all the gremlin energy is a dog who genuinely enjoys people and loves being involved in daily life.
The good news is that we have already received updates that Peaches seems to be adapting very well to her Honor Farm training and is acclimating well around other dogs while continuing to work on structure, self-control, and consistency. We are incredibly proud of the progress she’s making and very excited to see how she continues to grow with guidance and training.
With her intelligence, beauty, huge personality, and ongoing Honor Farm training, we have very high hopes for Peaches moving forward. The structure she’s receiving now will hopefully help shape all that enthusiasm into an even more confident, well-rounded companion while still keeping the fun, goofy personality that makes Peaches so memorable.
Baymax
Adoption Fee $200
Estimated DOB: 1-5-2024
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix
Male : Neutered
CURRENTLY TRAINING AT HONOR FARM: Returns 6-25-26
Meet Baymax, a very large boy with the soul of a stuffed animal and the emotional energy of somebody who just discovered friendship for the first time every single morning.
At first glance, Baymax can look a little intimidating simply because of his size, but the second you interact with him, it becomes very obvious that this dog is basically the Winnie the Pooh of the canine world. His greatest passions in life include cuddling, playing, receiving attention, and being involved in absolutely everything his humans are doing.
Baymax is currently training at the Honor Farm and has been doing wonderfully with structure, routine, and continued learning. He’s an incredibly people oriented dog who genuinely wants to engage, make friends, and be told he’s a good boy approximately every five minutes for morale purposes.
He’s playful, energetic, and always excited when it’s time for fun, whether that means walks, games, adventures, or simply bouncing around the yard carrying his happiness physically in his entire body. But despite all the excitement, Baymax also has an incredibly soft, affectionate side and settles into cuddle mode very easily once he’s had the chance to burn off some energy.
Honestly, Baymax approaches life with the emotional confidence of a toddler carrying a dandelion they picked specifically for you.
He thrives on love, interaction, and quality time with his people, and he would do wonderfully in a home that enjoys affectionate, goofy dogs with big personalities and even bigger hearts.
Underneath the size and excitement is an incredibly sweet, loving dog who truly just wants to be somebody’s best friend. If you’re looking for a loyal companion that can keep you laughing one moment and act like a weighted blanket the next, Baymax may be your perfect match.
