Allison is a sweet dog with big eyes and soft ears. She is shy on first meeting, so she will need a patient owner to coax her into feeling secure. She would also benefit from having another dog in the household to keep her company. Allison is intimidated by the commotion at adoption events, so potential adopters should email and request to meet her at the ranch.
To meet Allison at an adoption event, please e-mail

Arlo was wandering the streets when he was found and brought to a shelter, which made sure he found his way to LDCRF. He gets along great with other dogs, but is very shy with new people, so would do best with another dog in the home.

Our Pretty Betty is a very shy girl. She enjoys human affection once she trusts you, but it takes her a while to warm up to a new person. Betty is looking for a home with a patient, experienced person who can work with her to overcome her fears. Betty is startled by unfamiliar noises and movements and needs help learning to "go with the flow." Betty is extremely loving with those she trusts, so we know she can overcome her worries. Can you help?

Checkers is hoping you'll put a big checkmark next to his name on your list! He is a sweet boy who has a few things to learn about life in the big city. Checkers is a bit shy and will need to be gently integrated into the hustle and bustle of family life. He enjoys spending time outdoors, so a fenced yard will make his new home just about perfect.

Friendly. Our Dexter is just plain ol' friendly and nice and eager to please. He always has an open and inviting look on his face and he's like to invite you to be his new family. Nice, long walks are a must and a fence would sweeten the deal. Other dogs would be fine, too, but Dexter can be your one and only furry family member as well.

Got room on your lap for this little guy? Duke is a sweetie and would really like his very own person to cuddle. Ending up in a county shelter at age 7 is stressful, and poor Duke has not been happy, but he wags his tail and is ever hopeful that a new family will take him home soon. He would like to be an only dog in his new home so he can soak up all of the affection. He is well-behaved, is crate-trained, appears to be housetrained and is ready to spend his days snuggling with you!

Dusty is a big boy with an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is eager to please and loves being around people and romping around in the yard. He does have a strong prey drive, so he shouldn't join a home with any cats, tiny dogs, or other small creatures. He is a bit picky about his canine friends, so would love to be an only dog. Dusty would be a great new family member to welcome into your home.

Ginger is a calm, loyal and loving companion who walks nicely on a leash and enjoys just hanging out. Until now, Ginger enjoyed life as a beloved family pet, but a foreclosure left her homeless and searching for her new family. This sweetie will be a lifelong loyal companion for her lucky family. Ginger gets along with most dogs at the Lost Dog Ranch, but can be picky about new canine friends, so would love to be the only dog in her new home! She walks well on a leash, and will make someone very lucky!

Happy wasn't always able to be happy - he came from a Mississippi puppy mill/hoarder situation (over 100 dogs!), and was found tied to dining room table leg. At first he was unsure whether to trust people, but after a few days, he decided everyone could be his new best friend. He enjoys petting, and walks amazingly well on a leash. In addition he is quite food motivated (though he takes it gently from your hand) so should be a joy to train. Happy does well with dogs on a leash, but would do best with a female dog or smaller dog in the home (or as a single dog). While in our care, Happy has already learned to sit and shake! He is quite happy to have a second chance in life, now he just needs someone to have it with!

Everyone loves Lucy-and Lucy reciprocates that feeling! Lucy loves to go for walks, and walks nicely on a leash so would love to go for hikes in the woods! She loves to explore, so a yard would be much appreciated by her, as would daily snuggle time on the couch. At our adoption events you'll often see Lucy lounging outside catching some sun, now she's just looking for that special someone to catch some rays with her!

Meet Matt!! This ball of energy has a huge heart and is wanting to be your new best pal. Matt is not only handsome but super sweet! He is fabulous with other dogs and cats, enjoys going to dog daycare, dog parks, hiking, running, and long walks. He is very nervous in new surroundings, and needs a confident and dedicated person to help him blossom. Because of his shyness, he would do best in a quiet home with a steady routine.
As you can see in the video, Matt does great at daycare! Are you that special someone Matt's been looking for to show him the ropes of the good life? Give Matt a chance to show you how sweet he is!

What a face! Beagle mix, the shelter said, but we're still guessing about Patti's "mix." Collie? Sheltie? Cattle Dog? We really don't know.

We have heard it said that a dot on top of a dog's head is an angel's kiss. We think that might be true, since Pearl was one of the lucky ones who got out of the shelter and got brought to the Lost Dog Ranch. She is getting used to her new life and can't wait to start her forever life with her new family.

Looking for a blue-ticked, floppy-eared best friend? Meet Rae - once you meet her, she'll turn into your ray of sunshine, that's how sweet she is! She came to us with her buddy Charlie, who has since been adopted, so now Rae would like a home of her own. Rae lost both of her eyes to a degenerative disease, but she is getting by just fine and has a cheerful spirit. She rides well in the car, loves to snuggle, and while she gets overwhelmed by overly active dogs, she does ok with calm and laid back dogs (though she would love to not have to share the attention).

Sami will captivate you with her gorgeous hazel eyes, sleek red coat and adorable underbite. Her gentle nature will pull you in further as she leans in for affection and then you'll be hooked on this unusual little dog! And why not? At 28 pounds she is the perfect compromise between large and small and her loving nature makes her a wonderful companion. Sami is housetrained, knows basic commands, loves to play fetch with a tennis ball and learns new tricks quickly. Sami will do best with someone who spends most of their time at home (i.e. stay-at-home parent or retiree)because is nervous being left alone and needs to continue to work on that. As long as she's around humans, she's quite laid back; and she will make the perfect companion for someone looking for love, loyalty, and wonderful dog.

November is the month we set aside in the U.S. to give thanks for our blessings. Most people count their cats among their blessings, and in many cases, senior cats. While there is something very special about raising and caring for a young cat through its senior years, it takes a really special person to intentionally seek out and adopt a senior cat and give him or her a loving, caring home for the remainder of its life. These cats sometimes come with medical conditions requiring regular extra care and expensive medications. They are often not as playful or cute as younger cats and kittens. However, they simply can't be matched for devotion, unconditional love, and warm companionship.
Senior cats are perfect companions for older people who find it difficult to keep up with the antics of kittens. Older cats as housemates help fill in the void of loneliness and provide measurable benefits in lowering blood pressure and stress relief.
For many years, the ASPCA and Petfinder.com have worked together to sponsor November is the Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
It's not too early to open up your home and heart to a senior cat, though. If you are looking for the kinds of benefits only a senior cat can offer, take a minute to review some of the bios for older cats on our Lost Dog and Cat Rescue website.
