Story
Meet Cleo! This 5 year old min pin mix is about 12 pounds and absolutely beautiful!! She is also a little escape artist and escaped for several weeks! Since she’s been back in our care she’s been super shy and scared! She’s started to warm up some but she definitely prefers everything on her terms! She likes her own little space and loves her crate! She’s potty pad trained and loves treats and to eat She’s not big on being picked up or held but once she trusts she will let you pet her head. She is great for someone who has time and patience to let her warm up on her own timing! She’s a super easy to take care of gal in that she just wants her food, cozy crate, and needs her potty pad! If you are willing to let her warm up on her terms and give her space she’s your girl! Apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approved Cleo came from a hoarding situation where there were about 20 dogs. Some of the other dogs we have gotten from there have been pretty shy and scared at first, but have warmed up fairly quickly. She is very shy and scared If you would like to help one of these sweet babies, please apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approvedMay 28, 2025, 2:12 am

This is Pepsi! She was scared when she first got here but she’s warmed up a lot. She still isn’t too much of a fan of people but she loves other dogs. I’ve been able to pet her some but she mostly only comes up and licks other people’s hands. She likes to play with toys with you and will lay around you but that’s about as much as she likes from people. She could play with other dogs all the time though and she gets the zoomies a lot. I’m not too sure how she’d do with kids especially with how skittish she is still. Not sure about cats either as she’s never been around any.Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made. The application is the first step.

Story
**A Christmas Wish for Poncho** Meet **Poncho**, a 10-year-old PomChi sweetheart weighing in at about 10 pounds of pure holiday magic. He may be a senior, but this little guy is a **professional-level snuggler**, certified in warming laps and melting hearts.Poncho doesn’t see the world as clearly as he used to, and he’s most of his teeth—but don’t tell *him* that. None of it slows him down from trotting toward love with all the joy of a puppy on Christmas morning.All Poncho wants this holiday season is a cozy home and someone who will cherish him for the **adorable, gentle, special soul he is**—not his age, not the things he can’t change, just *him*.If you’ve got room under your tree (and on your couch) for a little dog with a big heart, Poncho is ready to give you the sweetest gift of all: unconditional love.

Story
 HOLIDAY HELP NEEDED FOR LITTLE JINXY! Meet Jinxy, a 5-year-old, 15-pound Pomeranian–Chihuahua mix who looks like she stepped straight out of Santa’s fluff factory. This sweet girl’s world has been flipped upside down after her owner had to move into a nursing home. Now Jinxy is in boarding—scared, confused, and wondering where her cozy Christmas went. But we believe in Christmas miracles, and you can help make one happen. All she needs is a Foster (or Adopter!) to give her a warm home, a soft bed, and a little love while her tiny heart heals.Jinxy is gentle, shy, and SO ready to feel safe again. Let’s get her out of boarding and into a home where her tail can start wagging again! If you can open your heart and home to Jinxy—even temporarily—please reach out.Let’s give this little fluffball the Christmas miracle she truly deserves.  Message us to Foster or Adopt!Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
