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

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.

Story
Cowboy is a sweet, funny boy with a heart of gold and a calm, easygoing personality. He loves his toys and does great during playtime with other dogs, but he’s also perfectly happy hanging back and watching what’s going on without being in the middle of everything. Super smart and eager to learn, Cowboy picks up new tricks quickly and enjoys showing off his good manners. When playtime is over, he’s all about snuggling on the couch—preferably close enough to sneak a kiss now and then. Nothing seems to faze this chill guy. Outfit changes? No problem. Cowboy is a total gentleman when it comes to dressing up and will sit patiently, looking handsome as ever. Easygoing, affectionate, and full of charm, Cowboy is the kind of dog who fits right in wherever he goes.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 23, 2025, 1:39 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.

Story
Chichi loves to roll onto her back and wiggle! Chichi also has a special affection for rope toys, especially enjoying spirited games of tug-of-war with her canine friends. Although she may initially be a little shy when meeting new people, she quickly opens up and displays a wealth of affection. She cherishes cuddling with both children and other dogs. Her foster family has been teaching her new commands, and her favorite toys include squeaky toys and ropes!   Chichi was discovered abandoned alongside her brother, both of them malnourished and left out in the cold. Thankfully, they are now both healthy, and Chichi is on the lookout for her new forever home!
