Story
Rex is a kind gentle wonderful dog who is a lover not a fighter. He gets along well with other dogs and people. I rescued him in April 2025 at 7 months old. My wife had passed away and I needed a companion. He quickly became a great companion and will be great with other dogs as well. He is trained yet will need more training with his new family. He is kennel trained as needed. I just can’t give him the proper time and attention he deserves. I have health issues that are unfortunately interfering with taking care of him long term. He is about 26 to 27 weeks old.

Story
Benny is a 2 1/2 year old border collie. I purchased from a rescue in western WI in Oct 2025 when he was a year and an half. He is a good dog that has been a great companion for me but between my work schedule and some personal health concerns Benny is not getting the attention and exercise he should have. Although he is content when inside and self-entertains with occasional playtime with his toys I feel bad having him inside this much.Ideally a new home for Benny would include active adopters who enjoy being outside. Benny loves being out and going for walks, etc. Benny is friendly, affectionate, lovable, energetic, loyal, eager to please and always alert (as any good border collie should be :)). Benny loves playing with balls and having treats.Benny is ~50 lbs., up to date on all shots and his rabies vaccination is good until Oct 2028.

Size? Medium-Large (48 lbs) Activity Level? Medium-high Noise Level? Low Good with Dogs? Yes Good with Cats? Yes Good with Kids? Yes Good with Strangers? Yes Potty Trained? Yes Crate Trained? Yes Shedding? Medium About Gordy: Hi, my name is Gordy! I also respond to Gordo, Gordito, Sir Gordon, and Cheesy Gordita Crunch. I am an adorable border collie/lab mix who wants nothing more than a home to call my own--and, preferably, a ball to call my own as well. I LOVE to chase balls, and if no balls are around, I'll make do with chasing anything you throw for me--stuffies, sticks, ropes... the options are endless. I also love going on car rides, sit politely in the back seat, and walk well on a leash. My foster mom says that I'm amazingly well adjusted given my rough history. I was 1 of 16 (!!) dogs rescued from a local home, and I haven't had the best care before now. For example, you might notice that I have a bit of a limp due to a wonky front foot. The vet says that this is likely caused by a ruptured tendon that didn't heal right. Fortunately, it doesn't slow me down at all! I also recently had 8 front teeth removed. Still, nothing can bring down my happy-go-lucky personality (except, of course, when my foster mom puts away my ball for the night). Here's a bit more from my foster mom: An ideal home for Gordy would be one that can give him lots of mental and physical stimulation. He really enjoys chewing on bones and bully sticks, playing tug with toys, and playing fetch. He's also a smart boy and has picked up on sit, lay down, and crate up very quickly. We're working on some new commands for him to show off! I think he'd do great with someone who enjoys having a dog that can be a companion to them on a variety of adventures! Gordy is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations for his age.

Story
Meet Mouse: 9 Weeks of Pure Mayhem (and Professional-Level Cuddling)   Hi, I’m Mouse! I’m 9 weeks old and currently specializing in two things: high-speed chaos and being the best nap partner you’ll ever have. My energy levels operate on a simple, binary system: I am either a screeching fire alarm at maximum volume, or I am completely unconscious in 3.7 seconds flat.   I currently live with a big foster brother named Bruce, who I adore. My favorite way to show him my love is by biting his jowls and nether regions, then sprinting under the couch to tease him while he stands there wondering where it all went wrong. It’s high art.   Here’s the breakdown of my resume: The Good Stuff: I sleep through the night (you’re welcome!). I’m also a crate expert; I can hang out in my cozy fortress for 2+ hours easily. I’m an adventurous guy, too—rain doesn't bother me one bit. The Menu: I am a food connoisseur with a very specific palate- food + good. My favorites include kibble, anything with peanut butter, and the occasional fancy raspberry. Even non-food items make the list like sticks and painters tape.  Social Skills: I love kids! I’m currently living with a 5-year-old and a 9-year-old. My current "Love Language" involves nibbling on ears and noses. I’m just trying to taste the personality! The "Work in Progress" Section: We are working on my potty training. I go outside every 1-2 hours and I’m doing great, but every now and then, I get confused and decide the rug is actually a designated restroom. It’s a work in progress—thanks for being patient with me! If you’re looking for a tiny, chaotic, raspberry-loving best friend to complete your life, please fill out an application for me. I promise the cuddles are worth the occasional carpet mishap.   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $625.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2026, 1:31 pm

Story
Flynn is a handsome 1-year-old Border Collie/Heeler mix (around 30 lbs) with a heart full of love and a mind that's always ready to learn. This smart young guy picks up on new things quickly and is eager to please, especially when treats are involved! True to his loyal nature, Flynn loves being with his people and will happily follow you from room to room like your own personal shadow. Whether you're relaxing at home, working in the yard, or heading out for an adventure, Flynn wants to be right by your side. Flynn gets along well with both dogs and cats, making him a great addition to a variety of households. He walks well on a leash and does fine in the car. He's very close to house-trained, as he's learning how to ask, but knows just what to do once he's outside.  He's still working on feeling comfortable in his crate and may go in a bit reluctantly, but with patience, consistency, and a few tasty snacks, he's making progress.  He's also a little scared of loud noises, so he will need some encouragement to build his confidence as he explores the world by your side.  If you're looking for an affectionate, intelligent companion who will always be ready to join you wherever life takes you, Flynn may be the perfect match. He's ready to find a family that will continue to help him learn, grow, and most importantly, love him forever. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Percy is starting over. In a matter of minutes, Percy’s entire life was turned upside down. A kind-hearted human became concerned about Percy and his 2-year-old human brother and called for a wellness check. What authorities discovered was far worse than anyone imagined. The parents who were supposed to be caring for them had been neglecting, assaulting, and abusing them. At first, they tried to deny what was happening, but text messages and videos told the truth. Percy has a long road ahead, but thankfully, his story is taking a much happier turn. He is safe, loved, happy, and thriving in his foster home. Now he just needs the right family to help him continue healing and show him what a safe, loving life is supposed to look like. Percy would do best as the only dog in his home , but he absolutely enjoys his feline friends. He can still have nervous accidents in the house, but he's improving as he learns that his people are there to protect him and that he's finally safe. And this boy has so much joy to give! He LOVES squeaky tennis balls. He loves going for walks. Fetch is one of his favorite games. A fenced-in yard would probably be his ultimate dream. He does wonderfully on walks and even does great on a tie-out. He's been trained and listens better than many of our resident dogs! Percy doesn't need perfection. He needs patience, consistency, love, and a family willing to let him heal at his own pace. After everything he's been through, Percy deserves a chance to finally know what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and home. Could you be the missing puzzle piece in Percy's new beginning? Please share Percy so we can help his forever family find him!               Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, rabies vaccination if age appropriate, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Distemper combo vaccines appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm and flea/tick preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $375.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2026, 1:31 pm
