Zoie is a sweet, friendly little girl with a little bit of sass. . She enjoys being outside, playing with a couple favorite toys, and snuggling. Zoie plays well with the other dogs in her foster home. She would be happy as an only dog, but just as happy with a playmate with similar energy level Zoie is not overly energetic, but would like a home where she can lay outside to sun or just enjoy the outdoors. She does well in a crate while her foster parents are at work; she eagerly goes in for a treat. This little one is currently taking Levitracem once a day to prevent seizures. She had a cluster of seizures one day in March of 2024, and again in September of 2024. Zoie has also recently started taking Proin due to occasional incontinence while sleeping.

Story
Let us reintroduce you to Beau. He was adopted from us when he was just a puppy, approximately 3 years ago, named Phillip. He is now back through no fault of his own and is ready to find his FOREVER home. He’s a big boy that thinks he is a lap dog. He knows some basic commands, but would benefit from some more training. He is good with cats, kids, and dogs. He does have a sensitive stomach so a very slow transition in food will be needed. If you are interested in meeting Beau once his vetting is complete, please email us for an application at trainrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Ella is a 1.5 year old lab mix. This sweet girl loves everyone she meets. She has the most unique blue eyes, they’re almost white. Ella’s future home should be able to take her to some training classes as she needs to refine her manner somewhat. But seems to be very smart and treat motivated. If you’d like to give this pretty girl a happily ever after, message us for an application.
