Story

Meet Lady — a darling little black puppy with the prettiest eyes, endless puppy charm, and a personality that is already impossible not to love. Lady was born on April 16 right in the comfort and safety of her foster home. She has been living the VIP puppy life ever since. Unlike so many rescue puppies born outdoors or in unsafe situations, Lady has only known soft blankets, full bellies, gentle hands, air conditioning, toys, kisses, and people telling her she is absolutely perfect (which… she is). Being born in a loving home gives puppies such an amazing start in life. Lady has been safely socialized from day one, handled lovingly by humans, exposed to normal household sounds, and raised with stability and care. That kind of beginning helps build confident, trusting, happy puppies — and Lady is checking all the boxes. Aside from being cuddly and irrestibile we are not exactly certain what breed she is. We see a whole bunch of adorable breeds in this little muffin — maybe Lab, Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog… and mama is a Shepherd/Mastiff mix. Basically, Lady’s DNA creator said, “Let’s make her extra cute and keep everyone guessing.” Her 8-week birthday is June 11, 2026, and this darling girl will officially begin accepting applications for her forever family! If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $350 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2745931##

Here's Gingerbread! At just 9-10 weeks old, Gingerbread is already proving that mixed-breed puppies are some of nature's most beautiful masterpieces. Just look at her unique markings and adorable face! What breeds make up this little rez pup? Your guess is as good as ours! We see hints of Border Collie, perhaps a splash of StaffordshireTerrier... but honestly, mixed-breed puppies love keeping us guessing. And let's be real—even DNA tests sometimes leave us scratching our heads. One thing we know for sure is that Gingerbread is 100% adorable. This happy little girl approaches life with a wagging tail and an enthusiastic outlook. Every day is an adventure, whether she's exploring new sights, playing with her siblings, or collecting cuddles from her favorite humans. Like all puppies, Gingerbread is looking for a family committed to helping her grow into the very best dog she can be. She'll need guidance, training, patience, and lots of love as she learns all the important puppy lessons. In return, you'll get a loyal best friend and the joy of watching her personality blossom. One of the best things about adopting a supermutt is knowing there will never be another dog quite like her. Gingerbread is completely unique—inside and out—and she's ready to find a family who will love her for exactly who she is.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Peach: The Sweetest Pup You’ll Ever Meet We’re guessing Peach is around 8–10 years old. She was living at a sheepherderders ranch when he suddenly died leaving 19 dogs homeless. Peach was one of the last ones to be rescued. This sweet, squishy senior might have spent her whole life outside but she has adapted beautifully to indoor living. She'll take a sofa and TV over the cold ground any day! Since coming into her temporary foster, Peach has discovered the absolute joy of living indoors… soft beds, cozy blankets, brushing sessions, and someone to cuddle with. She is soaking it all in like she’s been waiting her whole life for this chapter. She’s completely vetted, house trained, and was trustworthy in the home from day one — no kennel needed. She just wants to be near her people. She adores being brushed, melts into you for cuddles, and gives the sweetest little kisses. And yes… she kind of looks like an Oompa Loompa. She does well with other dogs and politely barks at the cat (we all have our hobbies). On leash she’s still figuring things out — we’re keeping expectations humble and progress steady. Walks really aren't her jam so if you have a soft place for her to lounge she will be perfectly content! What Peach truly wants? A soft place to land. A couch. A human. Some TV time. A hand to hold. After a lifetime outside, she deserves to spend her golden years safe, adored, and spoiled rotten. If you’ve ever thought about giving a senior dog a home… Peach is ready to give you her whole heart. Peach is in a temp forster and we are looking for a foster or foster to adopt for her. If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $75 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2674223##

Sida Bay (9) and Scarlett (11) are a bonded pair of Doberman girls who recently lost the only family they've ever known when their beloved mom passed away. Even if you aren't familiar with the Dobie breed, these girls are so easy, gentle and sweet they will capture your heart. They do not need to be with someone who has breed experience - they are that good. These girls are truly something special.

We know adopting two senior dogs may not be what most people picture when they start looking for a pet. But for the lucky family who gives these girls a chance, they'll gain two grateful hearts and the kind of companionship that only comes from dogs who know how precious a home truly is. Please help us find Sida Bay and Scarlett the soft landing they deserve. Through all the confusion and change, they have stayed exactly who they've always been: sweet, gentle, loving companions.

Story

This pretty young thing is Nikki! Nikki is a beautiful 1-year-old mixed-breed rez girl weighing in at a perfect 40 pounds. She's the kind of dog whose journey makes you root for her from the very beginning. Nikki and her sister were surrendered by a family that had around 10 dogs on their property. Once the girls became pregnant, they were no longer wanted. Thankfully, Nikki's story didn't end there—it was just the beginning of a much brighter chapter. After raising her puppies and watching every one of them find loving homes, it's finally Nikki's turn to be the center of someone's world. Since joining the rescue, Nikki has absolutely blossomed in her foster home. For perhaps the first time in her life, she's discovering just how wonderful the world can be. Cozy beds, regular meals, kind people, toys, affection, and the security of knowing she's safe—Nikki is soaking it all in and loving every minute of it. This sweet girl has worked hard and is doing wonderfully with her house, crate, and leash training. She's eager to learn, wants to please, and continues to gain confidence with each new experience. Nikki is looking for a family that will continue showing her all the good things life has to offer. She deserves people who will celebrate her successes, guide her through new adventures, and remind her every day that she is cherished. If you would like to adopt Nikki, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/.

Story

Meet Loredo! At just 7–8 weeks old, Loredo is already turning heads everywhere he goes. With his striking hazel eyes, adorable attentive ears, and beautiful markings, he's the kind of puppy that makes people stop and say, "Wow, what breed is he?" The honest answer? We aren't entirely sure—and that's part of his charm! We suspect Loredo may be an eclectic blend of Australian Shepherd, and Australian Cattle Dog. But as a true rez dog, he's likely a wonderful mashup of many different breeds that came together to create one completely unique puppy. After all, mixed breeds are nature's way of making sure no two dogs are exactly alike. Loredo is just beginning his journey and is discovering how exciting the world can be. Everything is new, everything is interesting, and every day is filled with opportunities for adventure. Whether he's investigating a new toy, chasing a leaf across the yard, or soaking up affection from his people, Loredo approaches life with curiosity and enthusiasm. Like all puppies, he'll need a family committed to helping him learn the ropes. Training, socialization, patience, and plenty of love will help this little guy grow into the amazing dog he's destined to become.. If you would like to adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/. The $500 adoption fee includes spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip. ##2766494##
