Story
Mary Ellen is a 2 year old, 35 lb Cattle Dog/Mountain Cur mix with a heart that’s ready to heal. She’s had a rough start to life and truly needs a confident, experienced dog owner who can help her feel safe and continue building her trust. Once she’s comfortable in her surroundings, Mary Ellen becomes playful, affectionate, and eager to bond. She is housebroken, walks nicely on a leash, and already knows basic commands—she’s a smart girl who wants to please! Mary Ellen gets along well with other dogs, is good with cats, and would do best with older kids who can respect her boundaries. She has been spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and is heartworm negative. She’s ready for the right person to show her what love, stability, and patience really look like.October 9, 2026, 8:34 pm

Story
Verity is a 5-year-old, 65-lb German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix (best guess!) with brains, energy, and a heart full of love. She’s a very quick learner and thrives on activity, making her a wonderful match for an active family who can keep her mind and body busy. This smart little lady is crate trained, completely housebroken, and quickly picking up leash manners and basic obedience. She loves people, gets along well with kids and dogs, but does have a high prey drive—so she will need caution and supervision around cats. Verity has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and tested negative for heartworms. Her adoption fee is $250. To apply to adopt, visit roseacresrescue.org.October 9, 2026, 8:34 pm

Story
Cupcake is a 12-year-old brindle Chihuahua, a tiny lady with a big heart and a lifetime of love to give. She’s polished to perfection and ready to find a cozy forever home, but she has one very important request: she’d like to bring her daughter, Piggie, along for the journey. These two have spent their whole lives side by side, a perfectly matched little duo, and we’re determined to keep their story together. Both Cupcake and Piggie are wonderfully friendly with people and do great with cats and kids. They’re the kind of companions who will happily settle in beside you, bringing warmth, comfort, and a gentle kind of joy to your home. They are both spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on prevention, completely ready to start their next chapter. Cupcake and Piggie’s adoption fee is $200 for the pair. October 9, 2026, 8:34 pm

Story
Meet Colton!  Colton is a 4-year-old Lab/Border Collie/Shar Pei super mutt (according to his sibling’s DNA test!) and weighs about 45 lbs. He is incredibly smart, expressive, and a total tease when he wants to be—his emotions are written clearly on his face. Colton has lots of energy and would love an active family to keep up with him! He can be a little mischievous, and his favorite game is “catch me if you can,” followed closely by doing parkour in his kennel. Colton’s mother was rescued by animal control from a horrible abuse situation, and she gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies in the pound while charges were being filed against her owner. Once they were released, the rescue took in the mother and pups, and all have been thriving ever since. Colton is neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $250. To apply, visit roseacresrescue.org.October 9, 2026, 8:34 pm
