Story
Vito and Pepe are super loving and fun dogs. They were born in 2018. Vito is italian greyhound and chihuahua mix. Pepe is daschund and short hair terrier mix. They have been together since being puppies. We are opening a home daycare and unfortunately they are too much to have around a bunch of small children. Praying we find a nice family home for them together.

Story
I am past my time of able to keep Carson, please save him from having to be surrendered. I am hoping to have someone adopt him and him go to a loving home. As a family we took in Carson 10 years ago, since then I am now divorced from my ex isn’t able to take him. Carson loves everyone has been good with my girls even when they were younger, good with other dogs. It hurts to have to rehome him but I think it is what is best for him. He is 10 full of tons of energy, wants to cuddle will put his head against your chest to give hugs.

Story
Graham is a very sweet and playful dog! He is one of our longest residents as he has been here since September of 2022! We took him on from another rescue, so he has not known much of the comforts of a home. He enjoys walks outside, playing with toys, and sleeping in crazy positions. He loves attention from anyone and everyone. He just wants to be loved. In his ideal home he would be the only pet as he loves all the attention to himself. He would do well with kids 10+ as he doesn’t know that he is a little to large to be a lap do. He would do best in a home with an active owner. His adoption fee is covered by an amazing sponsor. Please fill out an application to meet Graham!

Story
We got Remi from the spca about 10 years ago. She is around 11-12 years old with plenty of energy left in her. Looking for someone who can put as much attention into her as she deserves. She's a great pup who loves to show affection. She loves to receive as much back as she gives. She has a lump on her right front shoulder. The vet was not concerned with it because it does not hurt her nor does it inhibit her walking.
