Mcdouble and his McSiblings, as well as his mama, came to the rescue on Sept. 30th 2024 at approx 6 weeks old. He was pulled from underneath a crumbling house. He is a large and adventurous boy, silly and playful. Loves water and all things muddy. Of the 7 in his litter, there are 3 remaining who haven't been adopted. Even Mama McDonna has found her forever family and this boy has been patiently waiting for his very own forever.

Story
Miley is such a sweet dog and requires lots of attention! She is good in the house and outside. She loves other dogs and she loves to roam around with lots of room to play. She just needs someone with more space and time than we have. We have 3 toddlers and don’t have the time to be present with our dogs much and they deserve better!

Story
She was my dad's pride and joy but he passed away in September. She's a gentle, timid girl who's incredibly sweet once she warms up to you. She does best with patient, calm people who will give her time to build trust. She's looking for a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe and secure.

Story
I rescued Zara in Tennessee. She had been running about. Guessed age 1-3 years but she was definitely a puppy. She grew a lot and had puppy behaviors. She had separation anxiety and hated being crated. She can crate now if it s the right cage and anchored so she can not move it. Cage no longer than 4 hours. She does well in outdoor kennel for up to 8 hours but again it has to be inescapable. Currently her kennel is fencing on top too. I had to add wood.She adores children and her people. Loves people more than dogs but she does play well with those closer to her size. She’s a Velcro dog. She will not be happy if left alone too often. Very smart but will need consistent boundaries or she will lean toward being dominant. She responds better to praise than loud or physical forcing. She now will stay in yard or very close at neighbors WHILE I’m home. You can’t leave her out and go. She will look for someone who is home. Scared of thunder and fireworks. She is a love bug. Not a working dog.

Story
Got her when she was 7 months old from the breeder, she is now 1 1/2. She doesn’t bark and is very playful and hyper. Loud noises and quick movements scare her. she has fleas, she is house trained. She is very sweet and loves attention, she knows to lay down, sit and wait. She has not had a stable home since we’ve been moving a lot through out the year and feel it’s unfair for this beautiful baby girl. she is not fixed, she is good with kids, she has lived in a house with 3 kids and they love her. Also had 3 big dogs, pitbull, siberian husky, doberman. she was introduced to the alpha was accepted and even ate out of the alphas bowl so i guess they like her too lol. Please if you read all of this, please take care of my baby.. i love her and i know i can’t give her the life she deserves all animal lovers know this feeling but hate doing this.. Thank you❤️

Story
Smiley, squatty Maverick wants to dazzle you with his charm. With his happy grin, adorable head tilt, and friendly happy nature, he is sure to succeed! Mav loves soaking in the sun with his favorite people, whether exploring a yard or exploring new places on walks. He is...mostly...good on leash, though sometimes the exciting world around him is a bit distracting ('Squirrel!'). You can get his attention back with some tasty treats, and he'll quickly remember that he knows to walk nice, and also knows sit. He's a people-oriented fellow who isn't wanting to share his space with other animals.  Est DOB: Sep 2020 * Est weight: 60# * Breed unknown - guess based on looks  March 7, 2026, 12:01 pm
