My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 Meet Katie!  She is a Lab/Retriever mix, weighing in at 60 pounds and at about 2  years of age. She was picked up close to a Highway  and brought to a local Shelter. She was evidently dumped. There is so much to like about Katie, so where to begin? She is a well-behaved,  gentle girl, and yet she is frisky and lively. She loves to give you hugs.  She doesn't know a stranger.  She is happpy, and oh that smile! It will turn your heart to mush! She walks well on a leash. She knows the paw and sit commands, and she does a cute little dance that I assume is intended as yet another way to beg for treats. Katie is friendly, affectionate and will try to climb on your lap. She is potty trained. She has a charming and delightful nature. She loves other dogs and loves to play with them.  She needs a back yard because she does the zoomies and it is so fun to watch her.  Her foster says "she is soooooooooo sweet".  She is exhuberant in her play,so best withi no young kids to knock over. She really needs a dog her size or bigger to play with.  That would make her so happy!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
