Story
Ginger is a delightful and well-mannered girl who is easy to please! She adores her toys, enjoys car rides, loves exploring the town, and relishes basking in the sun. If you're looking for a charming model for photos or love to dress up, Ginger is your girl—she has graced the cover of Calhoun Magazine! Her room is always tidy, and she is quiet and well-behaved. Ginger shines when out and about, walks beautifully on a leash, and is an attentive listener! She was born into our rescue and adopted as a puppy; unfortunately, her mom passed away, and family members tried to keep Ginger, but there were issues with another dog in the home and Ginger, and it felt other arrangements needed to be made. Fun Fact: Is a part time model for Dawg-Dior and is rumored to be called the new Dawg-lyin Monroe!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 4, 2025, 4:52 pm

Story
Zeppelin may be large, but he moves gracefully and always wears the biggest smile. With his tail wagging and a joyful expression, he is truly a big happy baby! He adores children and interacts wonderfully with them, regardless of his size. His soft fur makes him an exceptional cuddler! On a leash, he feels as light as a feather and is perfectly content with just a toy and a blanket. He truly embodies the essence of a gentle giant. Fun Fact: Does live rock shows for all his paw-pals and it is rumored that he gave Jimmy Hendricks guitar lessons.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 28, 2025, 5:38 pm

June  is a delightful girl  who is i ncredibly relaxed and do not need much activity. Sh e is exceptionally sweet and easygoing. June  and her “brother” Jabba   h a ve faced a series of unfortunate events. After the passing of their owner, the family made the difficult decision to surrender them with the intent of euthanasia.

Our hope is to find them a stable and loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years either together or separately.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 29, 2025, 1:20 pm

Story
Thaddeus is our adorable baby-faced sweetheart! He's full of energy and loves to spin around when he's excited. He enjoys going for walks and behaves well in public spaces. He has a strong affection for people and, of course, his toys! Thaddeus loves to cuddle up in a blanket and give us his irresistible puppy eyes. He gets along well with other dogs and children. While he hasn't had much exposure to cats, we can always arrange for a cat test. Thaddeus was just moments away from being euthanized before we rescued him, and we are so grateful we did. He has moved between foster homes, not due to any fault of his own, but because they were short-term placements. We truly hope to see this wonderful boy find his forever home.
