Story
Teddy is a huge personality and sometimes I think he is smarter than me! Definitely smarter than my husband (just kidding but now that I got your attention….) Teddy is an Australian Shepard who will be 7 in January. Very much housebrokenTolerates cats and other dogsGood with kids but he is 110 lbs and thinks he is a Pomeranian so he might unintentionally knock over a tiny human. Up to date on shots and neutered Would love to find a farm for him! He loved to hang with the horses when we had our farm. Through no fault of his own we are looking for his new family. We are moving and had to make tough choices as we won’t have the land to keep all our bigger dogs. We chose him to place because he will thrive the best and adapt the easiest in a new home as he is the most socialized and a great confident family dog!

Story
Our Coco Litter and Western Litter wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for our junior board member, Sky, and a TikTok video shared by a volunteer. Sky came across a video showing two litters of young puppies sitting in an Oklahoma shelter. The caption said they had just 24 hours before they would be euthanized for lack of space. That was all we needed to hear. We jumped into action. In less than 24 hours, our rescue partner application was submitted and approved, both litters were safely on hold, and we were on the road to Oklahoma City. There wasn’t a lot of time to plan or overthink it. There were puppies who needed someone to say yes—and thanks to Sky spotting that video, we had the chance to be that someone. Two litters. One TikTok video. Less than 24 hours. And a whole bunch of little lives that now get the chance to find their forever families. ❤️ Dogs first. Always.

Story
**Wherefore art thou… forever family?** Meet our **Romeo and Juliet litter**! These stunning **8-week-old black puppies** are believed to be **Flat-Coated Retriever mixes**, dressed for every occasion—because black goes with everything. 🖤 Our leading ladies are **Juliet, Rosaline, and Paris**, joined by our handsome gentlemen **Romeo, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Benvolio**. This unwanted litter came to us from **Southern Illinois**, and we’re so grateful we could welcome them before their story took a tragic turn. Now they’re ready for a rewrite: a family of their own, a lifetime of love, and perhaps a little dramatic sighing when dinner is late. Flat-Coated Retrievers are known for being bright, cheerful, affectionate dogs with a playful spirit that often lasts well into adulthood. They can make wonderful companions for active families who enjoy including their dogs in everyday life. Like other sporting breeds, they need regular exercise, mental enrichment, and patient training as they grow. Each puppy’s personality will be their own adventure! These little loves are looking for **the love of a lifetime**. No balcony required—just a welcoming home, a little patience for puppyhood, and a promise to stick around for every act. **Could you be their happily ever after? Apply now** *Breed and size are estimates based on coat type, size, muzzle, body shape, and other physical traits. We cannot guarantee breed makeup, adult weight, or adult size. We welcome feedback or additional information if our estimates appear inaccurate.*

Story
🐾 Meet Masha & Bear! Masha and Bear came to us together and are learning that life can be a little softer—and a whole lot less scary. 💚 🎀 Masha — Female, approximately 4 years old 🐻 Bear — Male, approximately 3 years old These two are small white dogs with naturally soft, fluffy coats. Based on their size, coat type, and appearance, we believe they may be Shih Tzu, Maltese, or similar small-breed mixes. They arrived severely matted, which left us with very limited grooming options. Both had to be shaved down for their comfort, so don’t let their current haircuts fool you! Once they’ve had some time to decompress, they’ll be ready for a proper spa day to really feel fancy. ✨ Their coats should grow back beautifully—right now they’re just little blank canvases waiting for their glow-up! Masha and Bear clearly know each other and find comfort in being together, but they do not appear to be bonded and can absolutely be adopted separately. Both are a little shy and cautious right now, so we think they would do best in calmer homes where they can decompress, build confidence, and learn to trust at their own pace. Quick movements and lots of activity can be overwhelming while they’re adjusting, so a home without small children would give them the opportunity to come out of their shells without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. For now, we’re giving them the time and space they need to realize they’re safe. Soon enough, we think we’ll be looking at two fluffy, fancy little dogs wondering why anyone ever let them live any other way. 💚🐾✨

Story
🤠 Meet Annie & Oakley! 🤠 This mother-daughter duo is ready to sharp-shoot their way straight into your heart. ❤️ Annie is freshly 5 years old and is a Coton de Tulear. Her daughter Oakley is 3 years old, and her dad is a Mini Poodle, making her a Coton-Poo. We promise we aren’t making this up. 😂 These girls are officially ready to leave the breeding life behind and trade it in for comfy beds, spoiled-dog status, and forever families of their own. 🐾 A little about the Coton de Tulear: Cotons are small companion dogs, typically around 8–15 pounds, known for their soft, fluffy coats and affectionate, people-oriented personalities. They tend to be cheerful, playful, social little dogs who form strong bonds with their families. Their energy level is generally moderate—they enjoy walks, playtime, and being involved in whatever their people are doing, but they aren’t typically an extremely high-energy breed. They’re intelligent, charming, and often happiest when they’re right in the middle of family life. Oakley gets all of that Coton potential with a little Mini Poodle thrown into the mix, so she may inherit some of the Poodle’s intelligence, athleticism, and extra dose of playful energy. After spending their lives as breeding dogs, Annie and Oakley are learning that life can be about them now. New homes, new adventures, and hopefully a whole lot of love are waiting. And while they came to us together, they do not need to be adopted together. Annie and Oakley are ready for their next chapter. 🎯❤️ DOGS FIRST. ALWAYS.
