Story
Nellie is a gorgeous girl. She is approximately 1.5 - 2 years old. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and preventions. She weighs about 50 pounds. Nellie came to us when her owner was arrested for running a drug house. She, along with 16 other dogs in the home, were sent to the county shelter. They all showed signs of neglect and the owner was additionally charged with cruelty to animals. Nellie is a bit unsocialized. She's shy and timid. She hasn't had a good life up until now. She lived most of her life in a crate in the garage of this tiny house. Nellie is a sweet girl who has been enjoying life in a real home with all the things a dog should. Soft blankets, bones to chew, quality food, warm beds and plenty of friends. To make Nellie's new home a success, these are her requirements - another playful, confident dog in the home - no children under 12 - fenced in yard - Patient adopter * Nellie is not housebroken, as she has lived most of her life in a crate. Nellie will need a patient and kind adopter to help her adjust to life living in a home as part of a family. Nellie is a sweet and gentle soul who has a whole life ahead of her with so much love to give Located in Spring Hill. Travel time should not exceed approximately 1.5 hours ****EMAIL INQUIRIES ONLY *****

Story
Beatrice is a sweet senior who came to us 2 years ago as a hospice with a poor prognosis. Beatrice had a large mast cell tumor removed that had spread to her lymph system. She was given only months. However, no one told Bea that was the plan. Beatrice has lived the last 2 years with us happy and healthy and she is thriving!! She got a clean bill of health and we thought Beatrice should have her forever home. Beatrice is approximately 11 years old and is a little chunky at 51 pounds. She is a complete gem and a delight. She is housebroken, walks great on a leash and has amazing manners. She is friendly with every person she meets and loves pets and affection. She will demand it actually. We have dubbed her "The Queen " and she should be the only pet in the home. Bea enjoys sunbathing with her bits out, chewing bones and a good comfy couch. Beatrice has a lot of living and loving to do as she has a new lease on life. *****EMAIL INQUIRIES ONLY *****

Story
Otto is a sweet, senior Teddy bear looking for his forever home. He was surrendered to the shelter when his previous owner had been evicted. Otto also had some medical needs that needed to be addressed. And now he's ready for his forever home. Otto is neutered and had his benign mass removed. He is estimated to be about 12 years old and is up to date on all vaccines and preventions. He is housebroken and walks nicely on a leash. Otto is looking for a nice quiet retirement home where he can relax and watch the world go by. True to his breed, he's a little aloof and reserved at first, but once he warms up, he makes for a great friend. Otto enjoys rolling in the grass, laying in the sun, chewing bones and enjoying a nice soft bed. Otto prefers to be the only dog, but he can ignore another dog if they ignore him. But he'd prefer to be alone. If interested in Otto, please send email inquiries only

Story
Winnie is both beautiful and sweet. She is estimated to be about 7 years old and weighs about 65 pounds. Winnie came in to our local shelter as a stray in January 2024. She was extremely emaciated, weighing only 37 pounds. And had horrible skin. She was also heartworm positive. Winnie has gained a healthy 30 pounds and her heartworm treatment is complete. She is now ready to find a home of her own. Winnie is extremely sweet and friendly with everyone she meets. Both dogs and people. We believe she was kept as an outside dog. She is strong on a leash and pulls a little. She is doing great with being housebroken, but does have accidents here and there. Winnie's ideal home would have a large, fenced yard as she loves to RUN!! She is an active dog and would love an active family. She does great with other dogs, but a submissive friend would work best for her. One that will give her space when she needs it and leaves her alone when she's sleeping. Winnie would be an amazing family member. If interested, please send email inquiries only
