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?

Meet Pickens, I’m one handsome pup, if I do say so myself! I spend my days running, playing, and having a blast with all of my doggie friends. I’m social, fun-loving, and always ready for my next adventure. Even though I have lots of buddies to play with, what I really dream about is having a person to call my own. Someone to share walks, belly rubs, treats, and cozy evenings with. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with good looks, a playful spirit, and a heart full of love, I might just be your perfect match. Come meet me—I can’t wait to find my forever family!

Story
Meet Kool Aid, Don’t let my tiny size fool you—I have a heart full of love! While my siblings are busy bouncing off the walls, I’m the sweet, easygoing one of the bunch. I had a rough start and was pretty weak when I first came in, but look at me now! I’m getting stronger every day, putting on weight, and feeling better than ever. (It doesn’t help that my brothers are little pigs when it’s mealtime!) One look into my gorgeous green eyes and you’ll be smitten. I love running, jumping, and exploring the world around me, but if you’ve got a tasty treat in your hand, you’ve definitely got my attention! I’m looking for a family who will help me continue to grow, spoil me with love, and remind me every day just how special I am. In return, I’ll give you endless tail wags, sweet kisses, and a lifetime of loyal companionship. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Dumpy Dumpling, I am spoiled… and I wear that title proudly! My mom didn’t have enough milk, so I was bottle-fed. I still got plenty of time with her, but I also spent countless hours snuggled up in people’s arms. That’s why I’m such a social, loving little pup—I adore being around people! I’m the perfect mix of playful and relaxed. I love romping around with my toys and having fun, but I’m just as happy curling up for a nap when playtime is over. I’ve been loved from the very beginning, and I’m ready to share all that love with a forever family. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s affectionate, well-socialized, and always ready for cuddles, I just might be the one you’ve been waiting for! He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com
