Story
Oscar came to us through a friend when he jumped in our car and immediately snuggled into my son's shoulder. Unfortunately, we discovered my husband's only allergy is dogs. :( Oscar is a cute little fella, though. He is quite active, but he settles down on command and especially for treats. He's calm when you're seated but looking to play when you're up and moving. We've taught him to sit, lay down, shake, and come up. Not sure of his full breed, but we suspect he's mixed with a terrier that caused the Mountain Cur in him to be on the small side. He loves to play fetch and go for walks, but he does pull some. At only 27 lbs., though, it's not much. We've had him almost a year, and he has a highly playful manner. He does steal toys and seeks all the attention. He also gets along well with cats, but sometimes chases them. Overall, he's super eager to please. He's also crate-trained at night and can come with his crate, leash, harness, food bowls, etc. All included.

Story
Cooper is approx. 35lbs, 18 inches tall and 28 inches long. He was born on September 23rd 2024 to a stray Red Tick Beagle. Since then he has had a rough life in this short time. I gave 3 of the pups to people with what I thought were good homes but it didn't work out (So don't mind if I am very nosey and ask many questions of you). By the time I was aware of a problem Cooper, his brother and sister were skin and bones. At first he was shy and would flinch but now with time he very seldom does. During the day he loves to play catch with us and keep away with his sister and our golden retriever. He takes his naps mainly with his sister Maggie (who is also up for adoption). He is definitely NOT an outside kept beagle. In the evenings he loves to cuddle on the couch while watching TV with us. He would love to sleep in the bed but we don't let him. There has been no training given to him on a leash but he LOVES walks. All you have to do is get his leash. He is ready to be loved.

Story
Maggie is approx. 30lbs, 16 inches tall and 26 inches long. She was the last one born to a litter of 8 on September 23rd 2024 to a stray Red Tick Beagle. Since then she has had a rough life in this short time. I gave 3 of the pups to people with what I thought were good homes but it didn't work out (So don't mind if I am very nosey and ask many questions of you). By the time I was aware of a problem her and her brothers were skin and bones. She is now a healthy and happy young lady. Although she has "cherry eyes" in both eyes, our veterinarian has stated that surgery is not necessary nor would they recommend it. It does not hurt her nor effect her vision. Maggie is an inside girl and loves to be cuddled ALL the time. She is definitely NOT an outside beagle unless your playing. Being house and crate trained she plays and sleeps mainly with her brother Cooper or our golden retriever. She is not trained on a leash but enjoys going for walks. Her brother Cooper is also up for adoption.

Story
🐾 Meet BALBOA 🐾 Small in size, big in spirit — and a true survivor. Balboa’s story could have ended far too soon. He was near the top of of the euthanasia list at the shelter — simply because he’d been there too long, and because he’s a pit bull puppy in an overcrowded system. But when we came to rescue another dog, we couldn’t leave this sweet face behind. Now safe in foster care, Balboa is proving just how much love and life he has to give. At just 6 months old and around 25 pounds, he’s still growing — but already has a huge heart. 🐶 What makes Balboa so awesome? 💫 Happy, playful, and full of joy 🐕 Great with other dogs 🐱 Respectful of cats 🧸 Loves toys, people, and attention 🩺 Vetting scheduled soon — he’ll be fully up to date! Despite what he’s been through, Balboa is resilient, affectionate, and eager to belong. He would love a home where he can run, play, and curl up next to someone who sees beyond the label and recognizes the treasure that he is. This little underdog already beat the odds — now he’s just waiting to win your heart. 🧡 📩 Apply to meet Balboa and let his next chapter begin with you!

Story
Meet River! 🌊🐾 River’s story is one of true resilience. He was rescued from a horrible, overgrown pen with only green water and no food. At intake, he weighed just 18 pounds. Now, after love and care, he’s up to 25 pounds and thriving! The vet estimates he’ll top out around 30 pounds once fully grown. This sweet boy is under a year old and has made a remarkable recovery. He can be a little shy when meeting new faces, but once he knows you, he loves, loves, loves his people! He’s affectionate, playful, and so ready for the next chapter in his life—whether that’s foster or adoption. River is leash-trained and house-trained. He enjoys attention and isn’t shy about letting you know if he feels ignored. Boarding at the vet hospital has helped him heal, but he’s getting restless and truly needs a home of his own. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a gentle heart and a survivor’s spirit, River may be the perfect match for you!
