Find Your Furry Best Friend.

Female | Australian Shepherd Mix | 6 yrs

No young children(12+), No cats

Nova is back from her foster adventure! We learned that she really will do best with only one human in the house and being the only pet. She still needs slow introductions even when in her new home. She had great manners without accidents in her foster home and was not destructive so she would not need to be kenneled when left home alone. Please ask questions and we’d be happy to get you in touch with her former foster dad if you want to get to know her more!

Our longest term resident! Nova was brought in with a male dog and a puppy in 2022, though she remains. Being in the shelter for so long has made her reactive and sassy, therefore she requires a slow introduction. For most new introductions we muzzle her to keep everyone safe. Once she is comfortable with you, she is very affectionate. We call her “Our Princess.”
She does not get along with female dogs but has shown little to no aggression towards male dogs. Give her some time, you’ll love her as much as we do!
Nova weighs around 30 pounds.

Male | Lab/St. Bernard/German Shepherd | 7 yrs

Careful with children, Some Dogs

Peyton came to us on 12/29/25. He’s a big, bouncy, and kind of naughty boy - Peyton has unfortunately used his teeth in ways he’s not supposed to, but does know sit, stay, and shake! Once he knows you, he really is a sweet boy. He’s got the most handsome bark and would do nearly anything for food or treats! Peyton loves small stuffed toys, car rides, chewable treats, bones, and snuggles. Be prepared for a little drool on his favorite toys.
Peyton weighs 85 pounds.

Likely has cancer (growth on leg) and we are looking for a hospice foster. Please inquire with us for more info!

No young kids(12+) no cats, some dogs

This pretty lady came to us on 4/7/2026. She is a great dog who is just a bit particular. She’s not a big fan of some people (some men, some elderly) and does not get along with all dogs in a household setting. Lilac has been to doggy daycare in Rapid City at Meadowridge Pet Lodge, and gets along with dogs in a neutral setting. She has some separation anxiety and can be a bit destructive when left home alone, though she hasn’t shown any destructive behavior spending nights with one of our employees. She is not a fan of small children. If you have further question regarding Lilac, please reach out through our email. Lilac weighs around 50 lbs.

Male | Lab Mix | ~8 years

Good w/ dogs that give him space

Gus was brought to us as a stray on 4/24/26. No one came for this sweet old man. We aren’t sure how he feels about cats (seems like he’s hunting them but might just be curious) yet seems fine with his neighboring dogs as he has plenty of space. He’s very sweet and well-mannered, though he likes to jump up on you when he’s excited! We aren’t sure of his age - his face says 10 but the vet guesses 8 years. regardless of age, Gus gets around great! He jumps into cars, runs to his kennels, pulls our dog walkers around, and digs to his hearts’ content! Gus weighs about 74 lbs.

Gus is a senior & available for a senior rate. Give us a call or come meet him!

Male | Heeler/Doberman Mix | Born 3/8/23

No cats, no male dogs, no small kids(12+)

Cutlass came to us on 4/30/26 after his owner passed away. He does not like cats or male dogs, though he doesn’t seem to mind female dogs. We think he would do better with older kids, a fenced yard, and/or living with someone who is very active! Cutlass has a lot energy to burn and absolutely loves the water! He’s a lake or creek playing dog for sure. Cutlass is a little finicky upon new introductions, but once he warms up, he’s a real hambone. We invite you to come visit him and see if you could be his next best friend! Cutlass is 50 lbs.

No cats, some dogs, great with kids

Guster (formally Junior) is back with us after not fitting in with his family. They gave it a go but he did not get along with the family cat and did not care for one of the family members who owns their own dogs outside of their house. Unfortunately, it did end with a bite. Guster is a squeaker-removing champion, a lover of hard squeaking toys, and a bit of a fence jumper. He does very well with younger kids and would do best as the only pet, but we can facilitate a meet-and-greet with another dog to see if they get along. Guster weighs 40 lbs.

No cats, careful with kids, some dogs

Akasha and her “sister,” Harlequinn, are with us after not being able to return home. They are sweet girls that get along with each other but don’t seem to be a big fan of other dogs and would probably chase cats if given the chance. Akasha seems a bit more willing to meet other dogs. We know they are both playful and enjoy human companionship.

Mocha and her sister, Shyra, came to us on 6/4/26 after their owner could no longer care for them. We are still getting to know them but we are told they take a while to warm up to men, they are pretty cautious, they don’t like the car, but they enjoy going for walks and running around playing with toys. Mocha is the more confident of the two. We look forward to getting to know these beauties and sharing more about them in the near future! They do get along but do not have to be adopted together. Enjoy the photo of this gal singing the song of her people on arrival. Mocha weighs around 90 pounds.
