Story
Moana came into my life after being found alone, pregnant. We took her in and fostered her through APL which is a local shelter. After she had her puppies, they got transported and adopted out. Moana was left behind. After this the rescue was being investigated for illegally dumping dead dogs' bodies. So naturally I reached out to the other rescue I fostered for, LPC. LPC stepped up, got her microchipped, UTD on shots, provided food etc. Last year (2025) I thought I was moving, so as a responsible person I notified the rescue of this and after finding out I wasn't moving I also informed them of this. They then took Moana off their site and noted her as adopted when she was in fact not. Moana is estimated to be around 4 y/o. She is spayed and UTD on shots. She does NOT know a stranger. She has been known to be female dog selective but, in the past, has co-existed with 4 different female dogs. She is cat friendly, potty trained, and crate trained. She is ready to be your couch potato!

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 someone that I thought would be a good home but it did not work out (So don't mind if I am very nosey and ask many questions of you). During the day he loves to play catch with us and keep away with our golden retriever. He is definitely NOT an outside kept beagle. In the evenings he loves to cuddle on the couch while watching TV with us. He has his own bed that he sleeps in at night. He LOVES walks. All you have to do is get his leash and he is ready to go. Cooper rides in the car great. He has had Cytopoint injections for his allergies. He is quite active so he must have an active household. A fenced in yard would be a great idea for Cooper. He spends a lot of time just laying outside or chewing on a bone. Sometimes he can be very independent other times cuddly. He is ready 4 LOVE!

Story
Rocky is a wonderful companion whom we've had since a pup. He's had the freedom to roam our 200 acre farm for his entire life, but we have now relocated and having difficulty with him fitting into our new location and lifestyle. He's been a wonderful faithful companion and would make anyone a great friend. He gets along with others well and loves to play - fetch is his preferred activity. He's been loving daily walks, but ultimately longs to be outside.

Story
Ellie is a very loving companion who we've had since a pup. She is very typical of the breed in that she ALWAYS wants to be the center of attention and be near her master. We feel her best fit would be with a person who has experience with Shepherds, and potentially as their sole pet. We have relocated from our farm where she was used to having 200 acres to roam and protect and we are having difficulty dealing with her in our new surroundings. While she will tie well for short periods she does not like to be in a pen, but a fenced in yard may work.

Story
Ace is a stunning 3-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix with a heart as loyal as his eyes are beautiful—one icy blue, one warm brown. This handsome boy is house-trained, great with kids, and ready to be the devoted companion you’ve been searching for. Ace is the definition of loyal. Once he bonds with his people, he’s all in—protective, loving, and always ready to be by your side. He enjoys hikes, playtime, and relaxing with his family after a fun day. His gentle, steady nature makes him a wonderful best friend and an incredible family dog. Because of a past experience where Ace was attacked by another dog, he prefers to be the only dog in the home. But don’t worry—he has more than enough love to give all on his own! If you’re looking for a faithful companion with a beautiful spirit and unmatched devotion, Ace is ready to be your one and only. 🐾❤️

Story
Meet Celia 💕 Short legs, big heart, and a spirit that’s quietly growing stronger every day—this sweet girl is ready to find her people. Celia is about 2–3 years old and appears to be a shepherd mix with a little something extra that gave her those adorable low-rider legs. She has limited vision in her left eye, but it doesn’t slow her down or take away from her gentle, loving nature. She’ll be evaluated by veterinarians, but so far she’s handling it like a champ. Shelter life has been a bit overwhelming for Celia, and she can be shy and unsure at first. But with a little patience and kindness, you can see her confidence blooming more and more each day. Underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly sweet soul who leans into gentle pets and finds comfort in calm, loving energy. Her biggest confidence boost? Other dogs. Celia absolutely thrives with canine friends and would do best in a home with a friendly, confident dog to show her the ropes. She also does well with kids, especially those who understand she just needs a little time to feel safe. Celia is the kind of dog who will bond deeply with her people—the one who quietly becomes your shadow, your soft place at the end of the day, your little victory story. If you have a patient heart, a calm home, and maybe a furry friend or two, Celia might be the missing piece you didn’t know you needed. 🐾💗 Come meet her and watch her blossom.
