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, dewormed and neutered. He will be 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, dewormed and spayed. She will be 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.
ADOPTION FEE REDUCED to $250!
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.
Name: COOKIE (F)
Breed: Lab X
Age: 9-10 months
Arrived: September 9th, 2022
Meet Cookie, this sweet young girl has a zest for life and would make the perfect adventure partner. She enjoys the company of the other dogs in the shelter and would surely enjoy having a companion in her new home. Cookie is shy when first meeting new people, but after a short period of time and some pets, she’s ready to be your best friend. Her ideal home would have a fenced yard where she can run and explore. Cookie is eager to please, but could use a refresher on the basics. Does this girl sound like she would fit in with your family? Cookie is vet checked, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and fixed.
