Story
🐾 Meet CJ (Calamity Jane) — Our Beautiful Redhead in Rehabilitation 🐾 CJ is currently in rehabilitation and learning to trust the world again 💔➡️💗 She is a 6-year-old mixed breed, about 40 pounds, with a stunning red coat and a playful spirit just waiting to fully shine. On February 23, 2023, we rescued CJ after she had been dumped in the middle of nowhere for at least 6 days with no food or water. Despite everything she went through, she is still here — and slowly choosing trust again 🙏 🩷 CJ’s Progress: • She is learning to trust us more and more every day • Other dogs really help bring her out of her shell 🐶 • She LOVES to play once she feels safe She still has a long road ahead, but the progress she’s made already is incredible 💗 🏡 What CJ Needs: • A patient foster (or experienced adopter) to continue her rehabilitation • A calm, understanding environment • Another friendly dog would be a HUGE benefit for her confidence CJ is not a “ready-made” dog — she is a work in progress. But for the right person, she will be something truly special 🐾 She didn’t deserve what happened to her, but she deserves everything good that comes next 💗 🙏 Please consider fostering, adopting, or sharing CJ’s story to help her continue her journey

I was living under storage container with my 4 sons. I was rescued thanksgiving day 2023. I am very shy, a bit feral. So I need a patient experienced home. I'm about 2-3 years old. I get along with other dogs. A foster would help open me up.

Story
NEEDS TO BE ONLY DOG. Or taken to training. Xena was out in the country for almost two months with a harness. Harness was embedded under her arm creating a wound. She was shutdown at first and would look away when we talked to her after trapping her. She was eating at dead animals before a good samaritan came and started feeding her daily. He had a worker feed her when he couldn't. The next day she was happy and kissing me. She loves her dog house because it's a safe place. We will be testing her with other dogs. She's 2 years old.

Story
💔 Meet Natalie — Waiting Since 2021 📅 July 16, 2021 — Natalie came into our care after we trapped her when someone believed she was their lost dog. She had been surviving on her own in the country for 32 days. Despite being microchipped, Natalie had been passed around and given away multiple times… and when it came down to it, no one came for her. And so she stayed. 💔 Overlooked again and again at adoption events… but she is such a good girl. 🐾 Who Natalie Is Natalie is one of many dogs in our care who came to us needing time, patience, and structure to heal. And she has done just that. ✔️ Listens well ✔️ Rides great in the car (she loves sitting in her seat) ✔️ Quietly loyal and just wants to belong She isn’t the loudest dog in the room — she doesn’t demand attention — and that’s exactly why she keeps getting passed by. 🏡 Her Life Right Now Natalie does have a large fenced area where she can run, explore, and enjoy time outside of her kennel… and we’re grateful we can give her that. But it’s still not the same as a home. Kennel life is hard — especially for dogs who have experienced trauma, neglect, or instability. They don’t just need food and shelter… they need routine, consistency, and a place where they finally feel safe. 💔 Why She’s Still Waiting Not because she’s a bad dog. Not because she isn’t worthy. But because she hasn’t been chosen. 🩷 Natalie is ready for someone to finally see her… and give her the life she’s been waiting for since 2021. 📩 Message us if you’re interested in meeting Natalie or giving her a chance.
