Kelly needs more work than we can give. She is my Moms dog and my mom just had open heart surgery and can’t take care of her anymore. She is kennel trained and potty trained. She had a really bed pregnancy and we had to spay her two years ago. She is a beautiful dog and just needs a chance.

Story
Lucy showed up at our farm out of the blue about 6 months ago. She's a pretty good dog and gets along with our other dogs. I would let her stay but she wants to roam a little and take my good dog with her. So, I would like to find her another home.

Story
These boys are brothers, believed to have been born in Jan or Feb of 2025. My father purchased them as puppies in late April and then suddenly passed away. They were meant to be Livestock Guardian Dogs for his goat farm, however, they have not been trained to work in that capacity. I am now running his goat farm and I can't care for these boys properly. They deserve to have more attention, or, work to do.

Story
This beautiful American Bulldog mix absolutely loves attention — all of it! Pets, walks, treats, playtime, even a quick glance her way makes her whole day. Cassie is happiest when she’s with her people and would love nothing more than to devote all her love and energy to her forever family. She came to us as a stray, but from the very first day, her tail hasn’t stopped wagging. Cassie is always up for an adventure and loves meeting new people. What she’s really hoping for now is a family who will love her unconditionally and give her the wonderful life she deserves. Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Ralph! This little one and his litter got a rough start in life, but with help from a good Samaritan and our community, they’re now happy, healthy, and ready for forever. We weren’t sure what their breed was since neither parent was around — so we did a DNA test! They’re a Lab/Hound mix, which means equal parts cuddle buddy and fun-loving explorer. Could Ralph be your new best friend? Interested in adopting?
