IN DANGER NOW
HANK IS FIVE MONTHS OLD. FIVE MONTHS.

This is all the shelter notes have to say about him:

“Sweet.”

What does it say about where we are as a society when a sweet five-month-old puppy can end up on a kill list?

Hank needs someone to notice him. Someone to say... Not this puppy. Not today.

Please share Hank. His life should not end here.

ROCKY IS OUT OF TIME.

For 64 days, Rocky has been waiting quietly in an overcrowded shelter. He isn't the dog demanding attention. He's the one standing quietly behind the kennel door, hoping someone will finally see him.

Now, because the shelter needs space, Rocky can be killed at any time. He is people-friendly, dog-friendly, and has been kenneled with another dog. He is a 4-year-old, 62lb Dutch Shepherd mix.

Rocky is heartworm positive, but heartworm is treatable. Please ask shelter staff about Heal-A-Heart funding, which may help cover treatment.

He has already waited 64 days. Please don't let those 64 days become the end of his story.

Rocky needs someone to notice him. Please share him now.

BEAR IS NEXT. He has been waiting since May 5, and now the shelter is over capacity. His kennel space is worth more to the system than his life.

Bear is only 1 year old. A beautiful young Dutch Shepherd mix who has spent more than 100 days waiting for someone to see him. There are no notes to tell us who Bear is. No list of commands he knows. But there is one thing we do know. He has survived more than 100 days in a crowded shelter. He's still smiling. Still wagging his tail. Still hoping someone will toss a ball for him. And take him home.

Now he is at risk of being killed at any time simply because there is nowhere to put him. He needs someone to step forward.

Please share Bear. Someone has to see him before it’s too late.

Solo Vino is at risk of being killed at any time.

Just one note that says he doesn’t like the leash. That’s it. That could be what stands between him and another day.

But Solo Vino is more than a behavior note. More than a kennel. More than A5795502.

He is described as sweet.

And right now, he needs someone to see him before it’s too late.

LUCY IS PAST HER DEADLINE. She can and will be killed any time without further notice.

Lucy is eight years old. She should be sleeping in a home, stretching out in the sun, going for walks, and knowing she is safe.

In the yard, Lucy has played with other large dogs. She has exchanged appropriate greetings, solicited affection from handlers, and engaged in play. She is described as social, friendly, and medium energy. When she feels comfortable, she play bows and seeks out connection.

WATCH HER VIDEOS!

Lucy does have needs. She needs an adult home, no small dogs, and someone willing to give her patience, confidence-building, and slow introductions. She can be initially concerned with unfamiliar handling, but her body softened after the evaluation, and she sought engagement with the handler.

She is not perfect. No dog is. She does not deserve to die.

Lucy is a living, breathing eight-year-old dog who is still trying. Still playing. Still wagging. Still looking for someone to see past the kennel and give her a chance.

Please do not wait. She is out of time.

Lucy needs an experienced adopter, a foster, or a rescue to step up now.

Large dogs OK
No small dogs
Adult-only home recommended

Please watch and share her videos. Someone out there may be exactly who Lucy has been waiting for. But they cannot save her if they never see her.

WALKER IS SCHEDULED TO DIE TODAY.

He has been in the shelter for 8 days. Eight days.

He's young, just three years old. And today, unless someone steps forward, his life could end inside a shelter kennel.

The notes say he was lying down when approached. Then he got up to greet his handler with a loose body and a low wagging tail. He walked well on leash. He came over for treats and affection. He greeted other dogs appropriately at the barrier. When another dog ran nearby, Walker jumped and barked with what appeared to be playful excitement.

He is friendly. He is social. And today, that may not be enough.

He does not know that while he waits for someone to open his kennel, someone may instead come to lead him to his death.

Please do not scroll past Walker. He needs an adopter. A foster. A rescue. Someone willing to say yes before it is too late.

Walker is scheduled to be killed today.

His time is almost gone.

Please share him. Please help someone find him before he disappears.

R***R IS AT RISK — HE COULD BE KILLED AT ANY TIME

R***r is only about 1 year old. An 83-pound Rottweiler mix with his whole life ahead of him. And right now, his life is in danger.

Look at his face. He’s not asking for much. Just a chance.

R***r is very nice with people, knows sit and paw, and walked well on leash. But he is struggling with the shelter environment and has been reactive to dogs passing his kennel.

That does NOT mean his story should end here.

A kennel is a stressful, unnatural place. R***r needs someone who understands large, powerful breeds and can give him the structure, patience, decompression, and careful guidance he needs.

He is young. He is adoptable. He is still here.

But he is also at risk of being killed at any time. Other dogs on the shelter's list for this week have already been killed.

Please don't wait for a deadline. There won't be one.

🙏 ADOPT
🆘 FOSTER
❤️ RESCUE
📢 SHARE

If you can't save R***r yourself, please share him. Your share could reach the person who can.

Good dogs are being killed every day.

Napa is only about 3 years old, and she has been at the shelter since June 18. Now she is at risk of being killed at any time due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs.

Napa is a GOOD DOG. She does not deserve to die.

She is sweet. Gentle. Polite. Smart. Playful. She loves people and other dogs. She knows commands and is well trained. Volunteers describe her as an absolute sweetheart.

Napa arrived as an owner surrender—skinny, confused, and waiting for someone to notice her. Since then, she has blossomed in playgroup and shown everyone what a wonderful dog she is. She lights up when people give her attention. She deserves a second chance.

But in an overcrowded shelter, sometimes being a wonderful dog isn't enough.

Napa needs someone to see her NOW. Adopt. Foster. Rescue. Share.

Please don't let this beautiful girl become another life lost to overcrowding.

PLEASE SHARE NAPA. Her life may depend on it.

Watch her videos!
