🐾 Meet Coco 🐾

Coco is a stunning 8-year-old Belgian Malinois with the energy and spirit of a dog half her age! This active girl loves to play — especially when a ball is involved 🎾 — and her video shows off both sides of her personality: playful athlete and total cuddle bug. 💕

She’s smart, playful, affectionate, and always ready to have fun — whether that’s chasing a ball, going on adventures, or getting snuggles from her favorite people. Coco is the total package for someone looking for an active, loyal companion with a sweet side too. 💕

Honestly, she’s proof that age is just a number. 🐶✨

Meet Stone. This sweet 5 yr old shepherd is tucked away in the very last kennel because he likes to put on a tough guy act with his neighbors. But this means he gets overlooked.

He recently went on a Doggy Day Out with volunteers and was great in the car, awesome on the hike and even went swimming… accidentally 😂 He fell into the pool, but swam like a pro! He loved relaxing with his friends, snuggling and giving kisses.

Stone would probably do best as an only dog, but might be ok with a mellow dog that understands he really needs his own space. (He wasn’t affected by wildlife, so livestock might be OK.)

Shelter life can be stressful, but once Stone got away from the kennel environment, he truly relaxed and let his personality shine.

Don’t let his kennel location — or his grumpy hallway opinions — make you miss out on a really special dog. Give Stone his second chance.

Enrichment and exercise aren’t just “extras” for dogs — they are essential for their mental and physical well-being, especially for shelter dogs living in a stressful environment 24/7.

Activities like slatmilling give dogs a healthy outlet for their energy, help reduce stress and anxiety, build confidence, and keep both their minds and bodies active. Even short sessions can make a huge difference in a shelter dog’s day.

A huge thank you to Canine Conditioning for volunteering their time every week to help our dogs decompress, exercise, and thrive.

Thank you, R***r, for your loyal service and dedication. Wishing you a happy, relaxing retirement filled with love, treats, and well-deserved naps. Enjoy every minute, sweet boy! 🐾💙
