DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
We have a great group of dogs looking for their forever families and homes. Our volunteers are dedicated to matching the needs and personality of our dogs with your family. We want to make sure the match is perfect. Things to consider when adopting are: Time (walks, training), Patience, budget (food, spay, vaccinations, etc), and Space (home, fenced yard).
Listed as Adoption Pending? This means there has been an application submitted for the dog already. You can still submit an application, however please note there is someone ahead of you.
Name: ROCKY (M)
Breed: Shepherd/Bull Terrier X
Age: 3 years
Arrived: January 31st, 2022
Hi All! My name is Rocky and I’m the longest resident here at NLRHS. Can you believe my handsome face has been in their care for 227 days?! I’m a quiet boy who loves all the attention I can get from my caretakers and the visitors that come in. I’m a good boy, however I am picky on who my dog friends are, so if you have another dog, it’s important that we meet first to make sure we can be friends. They tell me I’m the perfect mix of old soul and playful puppy. I love a good play date, but I also love to just chill and relax with my people. I can guarantee you I’d bring lots of joy to your family. I guess I did a bit of exploring outside of my previous homes boundaries, therefore I do require a fenced yard to keep safe and out of trouble. And…if you’re looking for a walking or running buddy, I LOVE going for walks. I have good eating habits, am good when left alone and enjoy traveling in a vehicle. Consider meeting me if I sound like the purrfect addition to you family! Rocky is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. He will be neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.
ADOPTION FEE REDUCED to $250!
Name: OREO (F)
Breed: Large Mixed Breed
Age: 1 year approx.
Arrived: February 14th, 2022
Hello friends! My name is Oreo and I’ve been on the hunt for a forever since ever since I finished weaning my pups. That was four months ago! I don’t know how my good looks and sweet personality haven’t captured any hearts yet! I’m a young and very active lady so I still have a lot to learn, but I’m eager to do so with my new family’s help. Daily walks, hikes and other family adventures would be so much fun and help we use up some of my energy. I can be a little vocal when in my kennel, but that’s just because I miss being with my humans. Toys? I love toys! I love them so much that sometimes I get a little carried away and chew them all up. When that happens, new ones appear! When I’m not destroying my toys I like to visit with my other dog friends in the shelter. We get along well, but it’s always best that I’m introduced to new friends. I only like dogs as friends, no cats please! What do you think? Would I make a great pawpal? I’d love to meet you if you think so! Oreo is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. She will be spayed and microchipped prior to adoption.

Name: FUDGE (F)
Breed: Large Mixed Breed
Age: 4 years approx.
Arrived: March 7th, 2022
Do you have a soft spot in your heart for gal that needs some extra love? If yes, then I’m your girl! My name is Fudge and I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect family for some time now! I’m a sweet girl who is very loyal to my people. I stay close for the most part, but if given the chance I will go for a jog. Because of this, it’s best I have a fenced yard to keep me safe at home. I LOVE to play and I have smarts. I have a few basic commands mastered and I’m eager to learn more (especially it there are treats!) – I just need the assistance of my new family. Walks are a favourite of mine. I enjoy getting out in the sunshine, smelling the fresh air and people watching. I also enjoy the company of some of the other dogs at the shelter. It’s always best we meet first though to ensure are like each other. And though I like some dogs, I don’t enjoy having any dog near my food dish. I like to eat alone, then have my dish put away for safe keeping until my next meal. I don’t consider myself high maintenance, but I do need my future family to administer eye cream when needed so I never lose my sparkle! What do you say? Could we be future family members? Fudge is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. She will be fixed and microchipped prior to adoption.

Name: BENJI (M)
Breed: Large Mixed Breed
Age: 1 year approx.
Arrived: April 7th, 2022
Hi hoomans! My name is Benji!! I can be a little shy at first, but promise once I get to know you I’ll warm right up! I have a few friends here at the shelter, but I can be a bit selective in who my friends are. It’s always best I meet any potential family members first. I would do alright if I was the only dog too…it just means MORE ATTENTION for me!! I’m great with all people, and well behaved around children when they come visit me. Some days volunteers take me for walks so I get to see other people, hear new sounds and just enjoy the nice weather. They say I do well on a leash which makes walks much more enjoyable for my handler. I do know some commands, however I’m eager to learn more with the help of my future family so I can be the best doggo. If you are a family that can provide me with a good life, please stop by, I’d love to meet you! Benji is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. He will be fixed and microchipped prior to adoption.
Name: LUNA (F)
Breed: Collie X
Age: 6.5 years
Arrived: July 21st, 2022
Hey there, my name is Luna and I have been looking for an adopter for 59 days! I’m not sure why a beautiful girl like me has had ZERO adoption applications! I am a middle aged gal that’s not ready to slow down just yet, but I do enjoy relaxing. When I first arrived at the shelter I was timid, but since then, I have opened up and made many new friends, both doggos and hoomans! I’m a smart girl, always eager to learn more, and I have a few tricks up my fur to show my family. I grew up with children in my previous home and consider myself to be well behaved while in their presence. And did I mention I love outdoor activities? Walks, hikes, camping…I enjoy it all! I promise I’m a good girl and would love to find a home that will love me unconditionally. Luna is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. She will be fixed and microchipped prior to adoption.
Name: THOR (M)
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 1 Year
Arrived: July 22nd, 2022
Howdy! I’m Thor! I’m a young love bug looking for a fun home to give me lots of exercise, teach me new things and most importantly provide me with unlimited love! My goofy personality is bound to make you giggle, but being young I do still have a lot to learn. A family that is patient and opening to training would be ideal, but at the end of the day I just want someone to love me. I have a lot of energy, so it’s important for me to have my daily exercise needs met so I don’t find other troublesome ways to entertain myself. I do enjoy walks, however I’m still learning to be comfortable on the leash. Other dogs try to be friends with me, but I can be selective of my friends so a meet and greet is required with any dogs in my potential home. I love all people, but sometimes my excitement gets the best of me and I don’t know my own strength. For this reason it’s best I go to a home with children ages 10 and up. Hopefully I don’t have to wait too long before finding my future family. Could you be it? Stop in and say hi! Thor is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. He will be fixed and microchipped prior to adoption.
Name: MILLS (M)
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 2 Years
Arrived: August 23rd, 2022
Hello Friends! I’m Mills, one the newest arrivals at NLRHS. Unfortunately, my caretakers aren’t able to tell you much about my past. I could share some stories, but it’s hard for me to share them when hoomans can’t understand dog talk. I’m 2 years old and still have some learning to do, but I’m eager to do so with my new family’s help. I have little experience on the leash, though I learn to be more relaxed a little more each time I go for walks. Seeking a running buddy? Or maybe a hiking buddy? I’m your boy! A fenced yard at my new home would be a dream. It’s the perfect place to play and have a nap after destroying all my toys. Another dream of mine is to have LOTS and LOTS of toys! I’d be happiest at the only child, but I do get along with some of the canines here in the shelter. A meet and greet prior to moving into a new home is always best. What do you think? Would I make a great pawpal? I’d love to meet you if you think we’re a good fit! Mills is vet checked, up to date on vaccines and dewormed. He will be fixed and microchipped prior to adoption.
