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 Apricot Baby, Scratching in the dirt, rolling in the grass, and chasing anything that moves—that’s my kind of day! I like to play hard, explore everything, and maybe get a little dirty along the way. 😆 But when nighttime rolls around, I’m ready to crash. Give me a warm, cozy spot and someone to snuggle up beside, and I’ll sleep like a baby. ❤️ Need a bed buddy who can play hard and snuggle even harder? Here I am! Come get me! 🐾💕 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Story
Meet Cherry Berry, Being in a big litter definitely has its advantages! I’ve learned that if I let out one little cry, my foster mom thinks my siblings are picking on me. They get in trouble, and me? I get scooped up and loved on—even if I might be faking it. 😂 Okay, so I can be a little sneaky sometimes. But most of the time I’m just precious—her words, not mine! I’m a sweet, clever little girl who already knows how to work the system. ❤️ Need someone adorable by your side who can keep you laughing? I’m your gal! 🐾💕 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Meet Peach Prize, Pick me and you’ll be getting the grand prize! 🏆🐾 I’m super fun, super fast, and always ready for a good game of chase. Think you can catch me? Good luck! 😂 Now, if you pull out the snacks, that’s definitely cheating… but I’ll allow it. I mean, a pup has to have standards, and snacks happen to be one of mine. Yum! 😋 So come on—pick me! You bring the treats, and I’ll bring the fun! He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Story
Meet Mist, I spent my whole life outside with other Great Pyrenees. I was always having puppies, and I never even had a name to call my own. Then one day, everything changed. A kind lady rescued my mom and me, and we’ve been discovering what it feels like to be loved. Best of all, there will be no more babies for either of us. We live inside now, and we’re doing wonderfully with house training. If our foster mom is gone all day, we’re happy to use a puppy pad. We don’t ask for much—just two nice walks a day, a little extra time outside to enjoy the fresh air, a comfy place to rest, and someone to love us. My mom prefers relaxing indoors a little more than I do, but we both enjoy being part of the family. We’re friendly, not shy at all, and we’re learning every day that people can be kind. The only thing we’ve never had is a family of our own…or even a real name. Could you be the one to change that? We’d love nothing more than a forever home where we can finally learn what it means to truly belong. He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Story
Meet Dandy Green, Talk about cute—that’s me!! I can be pretty silly sometimes, too. Squirrels really get my attention, and I love sniffing around trying to figure out where they went. Wanna play chase? I’m always ready to run around and have some fun. When playtime is over, I’ll be ready to hang out with my favorite person. He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com
