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##

Story

Say hello to Sage!! If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts beauty, brains, and a fresh start story you’ll want to be part of… Sage might just be your girl. This stunning 2-year-old tawny pit bull mix found herself wandering the streets of a small town before being brought into a local vet clinic. When they tracked down her owner, he was in was in the clink and unable to care for her — but thankfully, he made the right call and surrendered her so she could get the second chance she deserves. We’ve partnered with this amazing vet clinic many times because they never turn away an animal in need. They stepped up without hesitation when Sage needed someone. Right now, Sage is safe and being cared for there while she waits for a foster or forever home. And here’s what we’re learning about her… Sage LOVES people. All people. Big, small, tiny humans included. She’s affectionate, social, and genuinely enjoys being around her humans. Sage has also been friendly and playful with dogs at the clinic too! We will have some videos soon! She keeps her kennel perfectly clean, which tells us she likely has some house manners already. Now let’s talk personality — because Sage is a smart cookie. She came to us with basically zero training, but she’s already picking things up quickly. She’s learning leash manners, working on “sit,” and making progress every day. She’s eager… sometimes a little too eager… especially when treats are involved (we’re working on taking them gently instead of gobling them down. She has shown zero human aggression. We can handle her food, take toys or Kongs away, and she remains relaxed and trusting. That says a lot about her heart. Sage is going to thrive with someone who will continue her training, give her structure, and help her channel all that brainpower and enthusiasm into being the amazing dog we know she can be. Right now, what she needs most is a chance — a foster, or better yet, a forever home where she can finally exhale. If you’ve got a soft spot for underdogs (literally and figuratively), Sage is waiting for you. Sage weighs around 50 pounds. If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. ##2715776##

Story

Sida Bay (9) and Meet Scarlett (11) —Our Gentle, Joyful Doberman Girls Scarlett and Sida Bay are the kind of dogs who make a house instantly feel like home. Happy, kind, and beautifully socialized, these girls greet life — and everyone they meet — with bright eyes, wagging tails, and easygoing charm. They live happily with two large resident dogs (one male, one female), and their manners are nothing short of impressive. Respectful, socially savvy, and wonderfully easy to have in the home, they clearly grew up in a place where they were loved and well cared for. They arrived with excellent house manners and a genuine affection for both people and other dogs. The greet every human and canine they meet with relaxed, friendly body language. At our PetSmart event they quickly became fan favorites, charming even the most skeptical observers with their calm, gentle presence. Their days are filled with simple joys. They enjoy occasional/short bursts of play time, napping in the sun and just hanging out. They bring a warm, cheerful energy wherever they go. Daily hikes are not on their wish list — these girls are perfectly content enjoying the comfort of home and a cozy spot to relax indoors. Sida, at 106 pounds, and Scarlett, at 81 pounds, embody everything people love about the Doberman Pinscher: loyal, noble, intuitive, affectionate, and deeply devoted to their humans. They have spent their entire lives side by side, and we are committed to finding the special home that will honor that beautiful bond. After many happy years with the woman who got them as puppies, their world changed when their beloved mom passed away. They have handled this transition with grace and kindness, and now they’re simply hoping for a new home where they can continue sharing the love they’ve always given so freely. They are heartworm negative. Scarlet has hypothryroidism. The prescription for Scarlett's hypthyroidism is levothyroxin ( generic human thyroid medication). It is $17 for 120 tablets on Chewy. The med is also known as Thyro-tabs Scarlett will need 1 tablet (0.8mg) each morning (once a day).

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.” YOU CAN SEE MORE PICS & VIDEOS ON OUR WEBSITE: https://www.circle2rescue.com/available-pets/ Petfinder limits the number of pics & videos. 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##
