Raj Arrives, While Dixie Finds Forever Home
Published on April 17, 2026
Blink, and you might have missed her.
Dixie, the 1-year-old mixed-breed female who came to the jail on Wednesday, April 8, was officially adopted a week later.
Enter Raj, a 4-year-old border collie who loves to play fetch. Raj joined the TAILS program and arrived at the jail April 15.
"He will drop any stuffed animal at your feet and wait for you to throw it for him," wrote Kelsey Gordon, the jail's female pod coordinator. "He is a laidback boy looking for his forever home."
The jail’s partnership with Animal Friends began last June. If you’re interested in adopting Dixie or any of the homeless pets at Animal Friends, you can visit the adoption page.
