Story

This beauty is Lexi! She is an approximately 1-year-old, 50-pound stunner with the kind of looks that garner compliments from strangers and passersby. Her gorgeous tri-colored coat and striking blue eyes hint at some Australian Shepherd in her mix — but Lexi is even better than a purebred. She’s a rez dog, made up of many breeds, which often means healthier, sturdier, and wonderfully well-balanced genetics. Lexi came to us from the Navajo Nation, where she lived alongside many different dogs. She is friendly and social with other dogs and understands how to coexist peacefully in a pack. Because her world has been a bit limited so far, Lexi can be shy in new situations, but don’t mistake that for a lack of love. She has been well cared for and shows it through her sweet, gentle, and devoted nature. Once she feels safe, her affection quietly shines through. She’ll benefit from a patient, encouraging home willing to help her: Build confidence in new environments Continue learning and refining her leash skills ‍ Discover all the good things life has to offer Lexi is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and blossoms with kindness and consistency. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with beauty, heart, and so much potential, Lexi may be the one you’ve been waiting for Adopt Lexi and give this special girl the chance to fully shine. 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. ##2622941##

Story

Meet Biscuit & Grady — double the tiny, double the fun! Grady and his sister Biscut recently joined the resuce when their owner was selling them in the grocery store parking lot. These 8-week-old Chihuahua pups are everything people adore about the breed: playful, silly, spunky, and endlessly entertaining. Watching them bounce around together is pure joy! Chihuahuas may be small, but they’re packed with personality — and Biscuit and Grady are no exception. They’re affectionate little lovebugs, curious explorers, and confident for their size. They already show that classic Chi charm: loyal hearts, expressive faces, and a knack for stealing attention (and cuddles!) wherever they go. Ready for pint-sized joy with a big personality? Grady can’t wait to meet you! If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $550 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.

Story

Meet Rocky — A Gentle Soul Grateful for Every Kindess He Receives When Rocky’s finder first saw him, he was so weak he could barely take a few steps. Leaving him behind was never an option. So Rocky was gently lifted into the car and rescued from what would have been his final day alone on the streets. And from that moment on, Rocky has shown nothing but gratitude, sweetness, and quiet joy. Despite how vulnerable he was, Rocky immediately made friends with the four other dogs in the car—proving instantly what a gentle, good-natured boy he is. Since settling into foster care, he has been the perfect guest: calm, polite, appreciative, and full of tail wags. Rocky integrates beautifully into home life. He sleeps quietly, moves softly from bed to bed, and simply enjoys being near his humans. His finder describes him perfectly: “This guy is the sweetest, most gentle, loving dog. Great with other dogs and so appreciative of affection. He sleeps almost all day, rotates between the two beds in my office, has had no bathroom issues, takes his little walks to sniff and mark, then goes right back to bed. Incredibly gentle and loving.” We don’t know exactly how old Rocky is, or how much time he has left—but what we do know is this: He is worth every single minute. He deserves love, comfort, and dignity for the rest of his days. Rocky is a senior sweetheart, approximately 50 lbs, and looking for a home where he can spend his remaining time being cherished. He will do best in a home with only a few stairs. He naps and sleep much of the day and all night so he doesn't need a lot of space or even a fenced yard. He will never leave your side. If you have room in your heart and home for a gentle old soul who asks for very little and gives so much love in return, Rocky will be the most meaningful companion you could ever welcome. If you would like to foster or adopt, please complete an application at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $50 ##2594450##

Story

Meet Teddy. Meet Teddy, 9-month-old Terrier Mix. Teddy is the kind of pup who lives life with zest and the cuddle button always within reach. She’s a friendly, happy girl who loves her toys, loves to play hard, and then, just as enthusiastically, will melt into your lap and sleep just as hard when it’s time to take a break. True to her terrier roots, Teddy is high-energy, curious, and delightfully independent. She enjoys being around other dogs and cats, especially those who are game for a little wrestling and romping. She’d likely thrive in a home with kids who want an active playmate and are ready to keep her busy and engaged or another medium sized dog.. Teddy is doing great with her manners, too. She’s comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight, hardly makes a peep, and is well on her way to being potty trained as long as she gets regular trips outside. She’s smart, adaptable, and eager to be part of the action. If you’re looking for a pup who can match your energy during playtime and keep your lap warm in the evenings, Teddy might just be your perfect little sidekick. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of 450 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2604095##
