Story

Have you met Onyx? This lovable boy was once abandoned, but rescued from a reservation 4 years ago! Now, he's in need of a new home as his current adopters face housing challenges. Can you provide a forever home? Onyx is a social pet who has lived harmoniously with other dogs and cats. While he's familiar with older kids, his compatibility with younger ones is unknown. Onyx is well-behaved and house-trained; however, his small bladder requires more frequent potty breaks. A true rez dog, he comes with his own set of quirks. Affectionately known as "The Weatherman", he's always checking the skies for storm clouds to determine his outside time. And when he is out, a secure fence is necessary to keep him from exploring the neighborhood. With an unknown history, there are hints of a difficult past. Loud sounds like thunder and fireworks frighten him, necessitating a sturdy crate or calming aids. If you're searching for a sweet boy who literally wears his heart on his chest, meet Onyx today! You can't help but love the guy! ##1095961##

Story

Come visit with Koda! This pocket pittie is absolutely adorable.2 years oldApprox 40 lbsNeutered male He will need to learn some house manners most likely but does know how to sit! He is also crate trained and loves everyone Koda and Puka, despite having never met before, have formed an extraordinary bond that speaks volumes about their resilience and spirit. They narrowly escaped a tragic fate at an Arkansas shelter, where they were just hours away from being euthanized. These two remarkable dogs are not only affectionate and friendly but also get along well with cats, showcasing their gentle nature. It is heartbreaking to think that they were almost lost simply because someone chose to abandon them. The impact these dogs have had on everyone they’ve encountered is profound, from the transporters to their current temporary foster. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to care for Koda and Puka, but now they need your support to find a loving forever home. Would you consider helping them secure the love and kindness they truly deserve?

Story

Meet Gretchen — the little miracle who never stopped hoping Late one night on a Houston roadside, Gretchen had every reason to give up… but she didn’t. Limping, painfully underweight, with crunchy, hairless skin and a body that had clearly endured far too much, she used the tiniest scrap of luck she had left to cross paths with a rescuer. At the shelter the next day, more hard news came: Gretchen was heartworm positive. And with the shelter at critical capacity, she landed on the euthanasia list just four days after arriving. But one photo of those pleading puppy eyes was all it took — we knew we couldn’t let her story end there. She was pulled to safety and placed with an amazing foster in Houston until she could travel to us in Colorado. While in foster care, her limp continued, and x-rays during her spay revealed a fracture. Thankfully, surgery wasn’t required, but strict activity restriction was. She began heartworm treatment as well — slow, careful, and expensive, but absolutely worth every step for this brave girl. Today, Gretchen is blooming. She’s now in Colorado, gaining strength, healthy weight, and a full coat of beautiful new fur. A recent x-ray shows the fracture still healing, so she needs more rest, and she still has her heartworm journey ahead. But her spirit? Stronger than ever. Gretchen is still a bit timid at first, but once she trusts you, she is all sweetness. She looks like a dachshund on elegant greyhound legs — a truly unique little beauty. She does well with respectful kids and other dogs, and her favorite place in the world is snuggled right up against her person, whether that’s on the couch or tucked into bed. Gretchen’s care has already cost far more than we anticipated — heartworm treatment, diagnostics, x-rays, follow-ups, medications, and continued orthopedic monitoring. If you’d like to donate toward her recovery and help us continue saying “yes” to dogs like her, we would be incredibly grateful. Even $5 truly makes a difference.
