Lorelai’s story begins in heartbreak — she was found tied to a tree before animal control brought her to the shelter. Estimated to be around 5 years old, this striking Catahoula Leopard Dog mix spent weeks struggling in the shelter environment before ManyPaws pulled her (to an amazing foster!) to give her a chance at the life she deserves.

Lorelai is loving and affectionate once she feels safe, the perfect mix of couch snuggler and adventure buddy. She can hang back and relax or show off her “zoomie sprinter” skills when it’s time for fun. While she can be wary of strangers at first, with patience she blossoms into a loyal, sweet companion. She’s dog-friendly with thoughtful introductions and would thrive with someone who understands reactivity and is willing to guide her with patience and love.

Now, Lorelai is waiting for a forever family who will never let her down again. Could that be you? 💛

Bonnie came to the shelter with matted to the skin and in need of a fresh start. We believe she’s around 3 years old and likely a Bernese Mountain Dog (mix?). Despite her rough past, this sweet girl is ready to learn that love is safe and forever. She’s shy and timid at first, but underneath is a gentle soul who wants to trust. With patience, Bonnie will blossom into the loyal, loving companion she was always meant to be.

Update: Adopted!!!

Baby Dog was found at an apartment complex with her four puppies, abandoned and alone. Her pups have all been adopted, and now it’s her turn. Estimated to be 9 years old, she’s fully potty trained, great with other dogs, and as chill as they come. She’s currently in foster care and just wants a peaceful, loving home to live out her golden years. Quiet, gentle, and full of heart—Baby Dog is ready to be someone’s everything.

Teddy came to us as a fluffy little pup—part Flat-Coated Retriever, part Newfie (we think!), and 100% sweetheart. He beat parvo like a champ and now he’s living his best life in his forever home. A true fighter with a heart of gold.

At around 10 years old, Nana came to us with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She was the kind of dog who just wanted to be near you—and now she’s exactly where she belongs. Adopted and adored, Nana is finally home.

After over 150 days in the shelter, Cara finally found her forever home through our foster program. This sweet, smart girl touched so many hearts, and now she’s spending her days surrounded by love, playmates, and cozy naps.

Oso was our very first foster - and the one who changed everything. With some behavioral challenges and a big, sensitive heart, he needed more time, patience, and understanding the most. Somewhere along the way, we realized he was already home. He’s now a permanent part of our pack, reminding us every day why second chances matter.
