My story

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

✨ Meet Gage — the Gentle King of Cozy ✨
4 years • 23 lbs • Mini Aussie • Calm, Collected, Certified Good Boy™
If you’re looking for a dog who won’t rearrange your life — just make it better — allow us to present Gage. He’s the emotional support weighted blanket you didn’t know you needed. 🧡
Gage comes fully loaded with:
✅ House training — zero drama
✅ Crate trained — sleeps like a tiny angel
✅ Great leash manners — no CrossFit required
✅ Car ride approved — windows down, vibes up
✅ Dog-friendly — respectful king
✅ Cat tolerant — “Ma’am, I do not want any trouble” energy
✅ Good with men — human boyfriends welcome
Personality breakdown:
✨ Sweet but not clingy
✨ Independent, respectful roommate vibes
✨ Easy to handle, easy to love
✨ Loves routine, quiet moments, and soft blankets
✨ Will follow you around… at a polite distance
Now, transparency moment:
🚫 Fast movements? Hard pass.
So Gage is looking for a home with kids 8+ who understand personal space and gentle energy.
🎆 Also not a fan of fireworks — same, honestly.
Gage isn’t here for chaos — he’s here for peace, snacks, strolls, and a forever family who appreciates a soft soul.
If you want a dog who’s mature, mannered, emotionally intelligent, and ready to be your calm-in-the-crazy…
🥹 Gage is your guy.

Additional adoption info

All applications for adoption are considered based on the wants of the adopter and the needs of each individual animal.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

After being approved by a team member, you'll be able to schedule a meet and greet with the pup that best matches your needs.

All of our pets are in private foster homes and many times the meeting will happen in a safe public location.

All animals are available to begin their home trials once the meeting has concluded and the rescue agrees to allow the pet to move forward to this stage.
