Story
Ebenezer AVAILABLE for adoption! To fill out an adoption application : https://forms.gle/dGz75whm2hFT2fej7 Eb is another long standing foster (he’s been waiting over a year). Eb is short for Ebenezer. He’s 3 now, neutered and microchipped. He is house trained. He’s smart and can learn anything quickly. Meet Ebenezer: The Hero You’ve Been Waiting For! In a world where tennis balls must be chased… Where humans need unconditional love… One dog dares to answer the call. I am Ebenezer! Defender of couches. Protector of snacks. Slayer of squeaky toys. I can sit, shake, and lay down faster than a speeding treat. My superpower? Pure happiness. My weakness? Belly rubs. My mission? To love my people with everything I’ve got. Eb loves other female dogs (can be a bit selective of my male friends) No small dogs or cats. 🐈‍⬛ He honestly just wants to play ball. The whole world stops for ball time. Looking for a four-legged hero to save your day (and your heart)? The cape may be invisible, but the legend is real.

Story
To fill out an adoption application : https://forms.gle/dGz75whm2hFT2fej7 Introducing Whiskey! Whiskey is a 2-year-old neutered (just completed in late August) male, what we feel could be a purebred, albeit poorly bred, Irish Wolfhound. He is a big boy but weighs only 110 lb. He towers over our 182 lb English Mastiff (also available for adoption), Isla! We had high hopes of keeping him here on the ranch. However, he is very determined to catch and kill cats, and that just won't work. He also recently started going after the farm fowl. He is excellent with all sizes of other dogs. Very friendly and playful with them. He's great with other dogs. He has had a very traumatic past. He is terrified of most men and takes weeks to warm up to a new woman. He requires complete patience and determination.. He is very insecure and does not trust easily. He is a bolter and as strong as a yearling colt! Much care needs to be used when attempting to walk him outside of a fenced area. We are working on this. We are working on everything with him. We feel he's finally to a place where he's comfortable enough to feel good about moving into a permanent home. This is going to have to be a home with a extremely secure, solid fence, 6' or better. He can tear through chain link. Everything scares him from loud noises, backfiring cars, thunder, slamming doors, any kind of yelling.... And he bolts. He doesn't run away. He'll stay right around the property and it takes him about 2 days to come down off of whatever fear level he's at and come back to you. We have a large property so that doesn't bother us as much as the fact that the neighbors don't appreciate him "trespassing" . I'm being very honest about his behaviors because we didn't know any of this when we agreed to pull him from the shelter and this has been a learning experience! We've had him about 2 months now. He IS housebroken, but will counter surf. He does know how to use a dog door. He can make himself extremely small and fit underneath a bed to hide if he gets scared and it's very difficult to get him out. He cannot go to a home with children as he is completely unaware of his size and could run over the top of them and hurt them. We are seeking a breed experienced adopter. It's a tall order, we understand and we're willing to keep him for as long as it takes to find the perfect home! ***We have been made aware of an "accidental" (i don't believe in accidental litters! Spay/Neuter or you WILL have puppies!! 🤷) of pups in Deer Park in 2025 by a purebred IW dad and a Great Pyrn/Anatolian Shep mom. The puppies were sold far and wide and he very possibly could be one of these puppies. That would make him just over a year old. He looks identical to others from this little that people have sent in pictures of!!

Meet Penny Lou! 🐾💕 Penny Lou is a 5-year-old Coonhound/Heeler mix who is ready to find her forever home! 🎾 This sweet girl loves to play fetch and would be happy to find a family who enjoys spending time playing with her. According to her previous owner, Penny Lou does well with children, but she does not get along with other dogs and will need to be the only dog in her new home. She’s looking for a loving family who can give her all the attention, playtime, and love she deserves. ❤️

Story
We rescued each other two years ago, come this November. I picked him up on a Sunday evening, and we got in the truck Monday morning and drove 12 hrs to work and have not been separated since. It is killing me to have to do this because I don't want him to think he did something wrong. He is the sweetest heeler I've ever met. He doesn't have the usually heeler nipping habits, although he will still "herd" when he is happy and excited. He is an amazing road trip partner. Whether it be a rock, pine cone, stick or actual toy; throw it for him and you will have a friend for life. He needs to go to a home that allows him to run and play and be loved tremendously.

🐾 Meet Millie! 💕 Millie is a beautiful Pit Bull/Blue Heeler mix with a sweet soul and a shy little heart. She can be timid when meeting new people and may need some extra time to feel comfortable, but once she warms up, her loving personality begins to shine! ❤️ According to her owner, Millie does well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a wonderful potential addition to a loving family. She just needs someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her blossom at her own pace. Millie is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can build her confidence, feel safe, and be showered with all the love she deserves. With a little patience, a lot of kindness, and plenty of affection, this shy girl has so much love to give. 🏡💗

Meet Martini! 🐾 Martini may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her some time and patience, and her sweet personality will shine through. Once she warms up, she’s a loving girl! Her smile might look a little scary at first, but don’t let those teeth fool you — that’s just Martini’s special way of showing you that she’s happy! We don’t yet know how she feels about living with other dogs, cats, or children. Her future family should be prepared to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable and confident. If you’re looking for a sweet girl with a smile that will melt your heart, Martini might just be your perfect match! ❤️
