Story
She’s a great girl!! She’s about 3 years old. She is still very much puppy and too hyper for a house with a toddler. Unfortunately we don’t have the time to devote to training. She is great with our other dog and loves all dogs, always wants to make new friends. She is good with our female cat but not the male cat. She will lick your face off. She doesn’t know she isn’t a lap dog! She wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone, she just gets very excited and has zero slow when she goes after something she wants. For that reason not good with infants and toddlers. She knows sit, sometimes stay, lay. She goes in the car wonderfully. Not great on a leash, she wants to explore everything. She has a few extra pounds because she has the man of the house trained for her snacks and she thinks she is the toddlers personal vacuum cleaner. Please give her a good home. This isn’t easy but we love her enough to not have her in another room all the time.

Story
This is Gaia. She is a pit mix who was originally rescued in 2017. She is 8 years old and is a big ol baby. Loves to cuddle, play outside, and wants to be as close to you as possible. She does not do well with other dogs unless it’s her “sister”, our Chihuahua Roberta. She is getting older and more aggressive with our kids, so a home without kids would be best.

Roberta is a quirky little girl who loves to play outside and get into mischief. She was rescued back in 2020 during the pandemic. She does ok with kids but doesn’t like to be startled, she struggles when people or kids are moving to quickly at her. She love to cuddle, and is the perfect lap dog! Roberta does best with her “sister” Gaia the pit mix.

Story
Some dogs don’t need to be rescued… they need to be understood. ❤️ Athena is a stunning 1-year-old Cane Corso who has been waiting for someone willing to look beyond those first few moments. She’s not the dog who will run up to every stranger asking for attention, and because of that, she’s often overlooked. The truth is, not every dog wears their heart on their sleeve. Athena needs a little time to get to know you. She needs patience, kindness, and someone committed to continuing her training and helping her build confidence. But once you’ve earned her trust, her personality shines. She’s a goofy, silly girl who loves being outside, happily chewing on her favorite toys, and spending time with the people she loves. She is: 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Potty trained 🐾 Smart and eager to learn 🐾 Looking for a family committed to continuing her training Athena would do best in a quiet home without children, cats, or small dogs, where she can continue to grow at her own pace. The easiest dogs often find homes first. The dogs who need a little extra understanding, a little more patience, and a little more commitment are the ones who keep waiting. Athena isn’t looking for someone perfect. She’s looking for someone willing to say, “I’ll give you the time you need.” And when that happens, you’ll gain something truly special—a loyal companion who trusts you because you earned it. If you believe the best relationships are built, not rushed, Athena is waiting to meet you. ❤️

Story
Not every dog is meant to charm you in the first five minutes… and that’s okay. ❤️ Meet Cesar. Cesar isn’t the kind of guy who falls in love on the first date. New people can be overwhelming for him, and he needs a little time and patience before he lets his walls down. But if you’re willing to earn his trust, you’ll discover the sweetest reward—a giant, goofy Cane Corso who thinks he’s a lap dog and will make you laugh every single day. He’s incredibly intelligent and loves to learn, but he’s also got that classic stubborn streak that comes with the breed. Cesar needs an adopter who understands that training doesn’t end after adoption and is committed to continuing the work that’s already been started. He’s potty trained and has come a long way learning to walk on a leash, but he can still be reactive when he’s in his crate, so he’ll do best with someone willing to help him keep building confidence. Cesar is looking for a home with: 🐾 No children 🐾 No cats 🐾 No small dogs 🐾 Someone patient, experienced, and committed to helping him succeed The easy dogs are often adopted first. Dogs like Cesar wait because they ask for something many people don’t have—time. But the people who choose dogs like him will tell you there’s something incredibly special about being the person who helps a dog finally feel safe. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend and are ready to invest in a dog who will invest his whole heart back into you, Cesar is waiting.
