Story
Meet Samantha, I may be a very young girl, but I already know how to make the most of every day! Right now I’m living on a horse farm, and it’s been so much fun. There are horses, lots of other animals, and I’ve been wonderful around all of them. I was found as a stray, but don’t let that fool you—it just means I’m one tough cookie. I’ve left those hard days behind and am ready for a lifetime of love, adventures, and belly rubs. I’m curious, friendly, and eager to find a family to call my very own. Could that be you?

Story
Meet Vine, Wow, don’t you wish you had an eye as blue as mine? I have one beautiful blue eye and one brown eye, so I’m definitely a head-turner. It’s always fun watching people do a double take when they notice my two different colored eyes. I guess you could say I was born to stand out!

Story
Meet Winkle, Cooler days are coming, and that means long hikes in the woods! I could be the perfect buddy to trot along beside you and explore every trail. Not feeling adventurous today? That’s okay with me too. I’m just as happy curled up under a warm blanket by the fire, enjoying a nice long nap. Whether it’s adventure time or snuggle time, I’m ready—as long as I’m with you. 🐾❤️ He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Story
Meet Tanner, If you look closely, you can see the dirt on my feet. 😂 My siblings and I play HARD all day, so we get to be dirty little puppies! Mud, dirt, wrestling—you name it, we’re in it. Sometimes our foster says it’s bath time. Ugh!! Definitely NOT my favorite thing to do. I’d much rather stay dirty and keep playing! 🐾❤️ He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Story
Meet Popcorn, I really don’t care for all this picture stuff. Can we skip the posing and get to the fun part? I’d much rather be out running, playing, or walking right beside my human. I mean, have you seen my gorgeous markings? And my eyes…well, just look for yourself! 😍 I’ve already done the mom thing. I raised two beautiful pups, Pop Secret and Jiffy Pop, and watched them grow up and find families of their own. Now I think it’s my turn. I’m ready for a soft bed, lots of love, plenty of walks, and a human to call mine. Other dogs? As long as they’re friendly like me, we should do just fine. People are definitely my favorite—especially the ones who come prepared with treats. 😋 My babies got their happy endings. Now Mama is ready for hers. ❤️🐾 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Story
Meet Nancy. Don’t get too excited—the only thing I hunt is a biscuit! 😂 I just happen to look really good in orange, and since my foster lives out in the country, I figured I’d dress the part. I’m a young gal with plenty of energy. I love to run, jump, play, and splash around in the water. My coat is a little longer than your typical Lab’s, which just gives me a little extra flair. I’m looking for a family that’s ready for some fun and adventure. And if you happen to have a pocket full of biscuits, well… I think we’re going to get along just fine! 🧡🐾 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
