KELSO
Meet Kelso: Professional fly catcher, full time best friend, and winner of The Biggest Smile in America Award of 2026.
At about 1.5 years old, Kelso is believed to be a Pit Bull/Australian Shepherd mix (or maybe just 100% certified Good Boy). Whatever his DNA says, his personality is pure sunshine. Think body of a house hippo, brain of a smarty pants Aussie….
Kelso has never met a stranger. People, kids, dogs, cats... if it has a heartbeat, he wants to be its best friend. His life philosophy is simple: "Can we all hang out together, like, forever?"
He's house trained, crate trained, and has excellent house manners. He's happy to lounge while you work, follow you from room to room as your enthusiastic unpaid assistant, or supervise every outdoor project like it's the most important job in the world. BUT, he is not clingy. If you are cleaning the kitchen, he will simply go into the other room and lay on the carpet. Want to go for a walk? You have to tell him because he won’t ask for it. He’s a very easy dog who will just do whatever you’re doin! Our favorite thing about him? HE DOESN’T BARK! He does a small whimper from time to time but it doesn’t last long and he realizes everything is fine. This has become less frequent now that he knows he’s in a safe place. Another strange but awesome Kelso fact… he’s not a chewer. Your furniture is safe, your shoes are safe, and all the wonderful Nylabones and dog chews he has received have been marked SAFE. He’s just a happy/chill dude and we know that makes no sense but just trust us okay?
His favorite hobbies include:
Splashing in any water he can find.
Hanging out in the yard soaking up the sunshine.
Catching flies in the house.
Making new friends wherever he goes.
Unlike many dogs, Kelso isn't overly interested in food or treats. He never eats when you put the food down but when he does finally decide he’s hungry, he will eat the whole bowl. A kind word, some praise, and being part of your team are worth more to him than a pocket full of snacks especially when it comes to training.
We think he may have a few Australian Shepherd herding instincts tucked away somewhere, but so far he's been an easy, relaxed house guest. He was abandoned in a home for a month and when he finally broke out, he was found chasing some Guinea Hens. Although we’re not sure how much of this was hunger or herding instinct, he’s best to be kept on a leash or a fenced in yard for now.
If you're looking for a goofy best friend, an adventure buddy, a backyard companion, a cuddle supervisor, and a dog who thinks you're the coolest person on Earth, Kelso is ready to apply for the position. When you arrive home or first thing in the morning when approaching his crate, he gives the BIGGEST front teeth smile and goes into full body wiggles. He really is the happiest dog to just be living! He would make the most amazing family dog and passed his dog, cat, human, and children tests with flying colors. Although very small children are always a case by case as he does have enough excitement to knock them over on accident.
Apply today to adopt Kelso! Not sure if you’re ready for a four legged companion? Kelso is available to foster to adopt as well so you can take him in and decide if he is the right fit for your family before committing! WARNING: The foster period of his foster to adopt will likely last about 3 hours or less due to his complete lack of knowing how to be sad or bad or anything in between. You’ve been warned!
GRAYSON
Meet Grayson: Professional introvert, food enthusiast, and trail explorer/part time bunny.
Let’s get this out of the way… Grayson is NOT a snuggler. He will not smother you with kisses. He will not insist on being your shadow. He believes in personal space and healthy boundaries. To be honest, he could teach us humans a thing or two.
What he does believe in:
• Dinner time (his favorite holiday)
• Other dogs (his absolute bread and butter)
• Long hikes where no one tries to hug him (seriously, same)
Grayson is a nervous dog who needs time to warm up, but he’s incredibly sweet in his own quiet way. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, just not loudly.
He might be perfect for:
• A true “dog person” who understands shy dogs, respects boundaries, and can let Grayson be… Grayson.
• OR a non dog person. Maybe you desire companionship without the suffocation. Just someone to get you out for a walk and keep you honest.
Grayson thrives with other dogs. They really are the one thing he trusts 100% in this life. He may hang around the house with his tail tucked most of the day but man oh man, when he gets a second of space with a furry companion, BOOM! He’s off to the races hopping, sprinting, galloping, tail-wagging and just having the time of his life. This sight may also be seen when his dinner is being prepared or he’s starting a walk.
Grayson is cat friendly, dog friendly, house broken, and crate trained. No children as they are sure to put too much stress on him.
Grayson will require a fenced-in yard as he is very much a flight risk. He is a 50 lb lean mixed breed, about 2 years old, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations.
So, do you need a pal to hike mountains with or just keep your walks regular? A dog who isn’t going to be up in your business? A companion for your current dog? Grayson has a heart of gold and deserves a quiet home with a patient person for when he does come around, it is the most beautiful feeling to have become a safe space for him.
GYPSY - ADOPTED!
Meet Gypsy: Equal parts fun, sassy, and full of life!
At around a year old, Gypsy is a stunning Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a personality as bold as her coat.
Gypsy didn’t get the best start and is still learning what it truly means to be a dog. After being found in a yard playing with some resident dogs, the humans called around and eventually found Gypsy’s home. They drove over to let them know this sweet girl was found safe and sound only to be met with “We know! We don’t want her! We dumped her ON PURPOSE!” Diaboloical behavior coupled with absolute mistreatment of this dog brought her into rescue and we couldn’t be happier to have been able to save this sweet life. Gypsy is suffering with skin issues that cover most of her body, tons of hair loss, and malnourishment due to neglect. We are well on our way to recovery and she has been an absolute trooper through it all but she will need time to gain back her stunning coat and a few pounds. We don’t think Gypsy has had much, if any real interactions with humans. While she absolutely loves everyone she meets, she doesn’t know much for boundaries yet. She is practicing keeping all 4 paws on the ground, not playing with her mouth, and the act of “doing nothing”. She is doing amazing so far and is transforming into a well rounded, 4 legged bestie!
Gypsy is dog friendly and human friendly. She has done well so far with short interactions with cats and doesn’t seem bothered with them. We are unsure about kids but she does have lots of energy. She is potty trained and crate trained. At this time, Gypsy is Foster only or Foster-to-Adopt as we work through her skin issues and get her spayed.
