Nova
Female | Australian Shepherd Mix | 6 yrs
No kids, needs to be only pet
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. She does have a bite history. 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.Nova's adoption has been sponsored!

Lilac
Female | Coohound Mix | Born 8/5/2022
No kids or elderly (will nip at), no cats, some dogs *would do best with single adult & no other pets
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.Lilac's adoption has been sponsored!

Cutlass
Male | Heeler/Doberman Mix | Born 3/8/23
Seeking training before adoption
No cats, no male dogs, no kids
Cutlass came to us on 4/30/26 after his owner passed away. We think he would do best with older kids, a fenced yard, and/or living with someone who is very active. Cutlass has a lot of 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 & he does have a bite history, he’s quite tough with a kennel between you and he, 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 weighs 50 lbs. -

Harlequinn
Female | Lab/Pit Mix | Born 3/20/24
Some other dogs (does better outside of shelter), unsure of cats
Harlequinn is with us after not being able to return home. Harley is a sweet but reserved gal. She’ll give you a full body dog kiss bath! Although she got along with sister Akasha, doesn’t seem to be a big fan of other dogs and would probably chase cats if given the chance. Harley is a lover of people and jumps up on you when she’s excited! She is a sweet cuddler and loves to go on car rides! Harley has a hematoma on her neck from her former chain collar and requires harnessing (no medical concern).
Harlequinn weighs 48 pounds -

Seeking training before adoption
Sunny is back with us after spending 7 months with a family. She was returned after biting her grandma. She first came to us after coming in as a stray in July of 2025. Sunny is weary of men and she should not be around children. She is a sweet goofball who loves water… she just needs pateince and hopefully training will help us understand her and her needs better.

Charley
Female | Chocolate Lab/Pit Mix | Born Nov. 2025
No cats
Charley came to us on Sept. 24, 2026 after she was getting too rambunctious with her family’s kittens and small children. She is not aggressive but just a little too energetic for delicate things! She needs some training but is a total doll. She is said to do well with other dogs. Charley is 53 lbs.
