Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ginger.  This sweet girl is about eight years old.  She is a Beagle/Chihuahua mix with short hair that does not shed or need grooming. Ginger is spayed, up to date on her veterinary needs and weighs a trim 17 pounds. She is house trained and walks well on a leash but does not show the need to go outside often as she is very comfortable lounging in the house.  Ginger gets along very well with her other dog friends and does not mind cats,  She is good with children and very affectionate once she is familiar with people.  Her experience has made her quite resourceful and she will 'ask' for extra treats so she can hide them for a rainy day along with other treasures she may find.Ginger loves hopping up on the couch to snuggle with her foster Dad.  She also enjoys chilling by herself.  She would thrive in a quiet household with another dog to be friends with.    Ginger would be a loyal and loving companion in a relatively calm environment with few people. As her foster, she has been a true pleasure to have and watch her blossom into a very happy furry friend.  She would be a great dog for a low key person.   Ginger does have a treatable condition called Polycythemia Vera.  This is a condition that causes too high of a red blood cell count.  The treatment is blood letting every 13 weeks.  With this simple treatment, Ginger will lead a normal happy life.  If Ginger's adopter continues to use our veterinarian, there is a grant set up to pay for the treatment of her condition.  She exhibits no symptoms from this condition.   Can you find it in your heart to help this good girl?  She will love you with her whole heart.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 3, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This little cutie is named Rosie.  She is an 18 month old chihuahua mix who is spayed and UTD on her vaccines.Rosie has a sweet disposition and likes being with her human.  She will follow you from room to room and is happiest sitting on your lap.  She is very alert to new noises, people and activity and will let you know about it (she is a little watch dog!)  Rosie is crate trained and sleeps throught the night in her kennel.Rosie has led a quiet/sheltered life, so many things are new to her.  She has learned to walk on a leash at the park while in foster care.  She is learning to ride in a car without shaking. Fast moving children still scare her.  Her foster Mom reports she 'moves like a streak of lightning', so she may not be a good choice for an elderly person.Full disclosure: House training is still a work in progress and she still likes to nibble on things like a puppy.Rosie is looking for a dog savvy family who will patiently work with her.  She has great potential to be a fantastic dog.  Are you up to the challange?  Rosie will love you with her whole heart if you are!!Adoption fee: $250 (to help defray vet expenses)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 26, 2026, 2:43 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Hattie! This little lady is looking for her special someone and a lap to curl up on.  Hattie is a maltese/poodle mix, approximately 10 yrs. old, and almost a whole 5lbs!  She was born with congenital small eye in her right eye and has a cataract in her left eye but seems to have most of her vision and gets around great.  Hattie does have a small heart murmur and is scheduled for a dental but otherwise in great health.  She is up to date on shots and Heartworm/flea medications.   Hattie needs a more calm and quiet home with a mostly stay at home person who wants lots of snuggles.  She will tolerate other dogs (cats unknown) as long as they give her space and not bother her. Hattie is potty trained but does like to explore so a fenced in yard or someone who is willing to go outdoors with her is required.  She is either following her foster mom around or snuggled next to or on  her lap.  She sleeps well in a kennel and will tolerate being in one but she will let you know she isn't happy about it for a few minutes before settling down.  Hattie is the sweetest little snuggle bug who just wants someone to cuddle with and give lots of love to.  Does Miss Hattie sound like the perfect best friend for you?  If so, please feel out an application and make arrangements to meet Hatttie in person.Adoption fee to help defray vet costs:  $100. Note:Hattie is eligible for our Senior to Senior program Pairing older adults with older dogs.  The rescue covers Hattie's vet expenses (if you use our vet) and the owner provides the Love, care and food.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 26, 2026, 10:31 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ramona!   Ramona came from a bad hoarding situation. This sweet girl had never been outside until she came into foster care.  She is now potty trained and loves going outside and playing with her foster siblings!! When Ramona first came into rescue she was terrified of being outside and would only use potty pads indoors, so this is a huge step forward for Ramona! She has also discovered toys and LOVES them.  She constantly follows her foster Mom and will sit next to her on the couch.  What does a perfect home look like for Ramona?Ramona needs a securely fenced yard, as she is a flight risk if frightened.  She needs a patient person who will move slowly with her and allow her to gain trust in them. She definitely needs another dog in the house for companionship and to help her feel safe.  Are you the type of person who can give Ramona the attention she needs to continue coming out of her shell?  If so, you will find she is a treasure.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi!  My name is Toby.I am a 10 year old toy poodle.  I am neutered, UTD on my vaccinations and according to my foster Mom, an absolute cuddle bug.  I get along with dogs of all sizes and I really like kids.  I have not met any cats, so I do not know what to think of them!!I came to rescue as a neglect case.  My hair was matted and I had a deformed back leg that only got in the way of me moving easily.  Well I got a short haircut (It will grow back so pretty, I promise!) and had that bad leg amputated.  I'm recoving from that surgery like a champ and you should see me get around on three legs! Life is so much better without that old leg. I included a video of me soon after surgery showing how well I walk.Because I was neglected before I came to rescue....I am still working on house training.  I get better and better each day. I hope you will understand and work with me as I learn this important life skill!I am hoping to find a family that will let me follow them everywhere, play ball and cuddle.  I am full of love that I want to share with my forever family.Do I sound like the boy for you?  Fill out an application and let's meet IRL.  Hope to see you soon,Love,TobyAdoption fee to help cover Toby's vet expenses:  $150.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 1, 2026, 10:31 pm
