Story
We bought Dodger for our adult daughter, she loves dodger although doesn't have the time and love he needs to raise him. My daughter is busy and didn't realize the time and dedication it would take to keep a dog. We all want him to find a loving and caring forever home. We bought him about a year ago for $1150.00. We have the paper work. Dodger has one testicle.He is up to date with all shots. Dodger is healthy in good condition. We just want the family that will give him the love and care he needs. Truthfully We were not successful in training him. This was not an easy decision for us although we believe it is the best for him.

Story
Ambreta is a gentle, affectionate gal who adores people and enjoys being part of whatever you’re doing. Born around April 2025, she’s great with other dogs, however she does like a minute to get to know them before the party starts. She also has a knack for knowing what the other dog needs. At her first training class she met a very timid pup. She came in soft, helped him build his confidence and within a short while they were playing like best friends. Indoors, she’s a cuddlebug who's always ready to roll over for belly rubs. Outdoors, she shows off her signature move: stretching out flat like she’s flying and low crawling across the yard (self belly rub). Ambreta is always up for a road trip, she rides well in the back seat. She occasionally pokes her head forward to say hi, but doesn't try to claim the front seat.  She loves walks (because her person is there). She does want to explore everything, but she is progressing well with her leash skills.  She has had no accidents.  She is not a huge fan of her kennel, mainly because we are not in there with her.  However, she is progressing every day.  She now goes in it when we bring her to it and only protests for a minute or so the injustice of having to be away from us. (it is getting less and less as she is realizing she won't just be left in there forever) She is excited to find a family who will love her just as much as she’ll love them.   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Introducing Kit: part Great Pyrenees, part Doberman, and 100% professional weirdo. She’s about three years old, has legs for days, and a nose that works overtime like a tiny detective on an endless case. Kit has gone from “stranger danger” mode to “sniff your hair while you’re watching Netflix” mode, and that’s what we call progress.   Her daily routine is very official: three laps around her kennel like an Olympic track star before dinner, followed by stealing the couch or your bed because, honestly, she’s royalty and crates are for peasants. She’s learning that humans = belly rub dispensers, and she’s totally here for it.   Kit is a huge fan of dogs, though she sometimes comes in a little too hot on first introductions (think: bossy camp counselor vibes). Once she knows who’s in charge, she’s good to go, and she’s the best babysitter for puppies. What she is not into? Cats, chickens, birds, squirrels, or basically anything small and fluffy that isn’t her designated sibling. For those, her prey drive kicks in and—let’s just say—it’s a hard no.   She’s obsessed with running, but luckily, she’s not a fence-jumper. A nice sturdy yard is her dream stage for zoomies. When she’s not sprinting, she’s all about long walks, soft toys, and claiming furniture like it’s her birthright. She’ll even listen to “leave it” when she’s yelling at the neighbors, which is basically the dog version of good manners.   Kit is still a little shy at first, but once she warms up, you’ll find a goofy, loyal, slightly dramatic best friend who makes the small victories (like coming when called) feel like winning the lottery. She’s been waiting long enough—this couch hog is ready to claim your couch and, more importantly, your heart.       Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Meet Finn! Born around December 2, 2024, Finn is a big-hearted Pit Bull Mix with an even bigger capacity for love. This handsome boy is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and generous with his kisses. Whether he's leaning in for cuddles or following his favorite people around the house, Finn's devotion shines through in everything he does. Finn is both house-trained and kennel-trained, and his XL kennel can even accompany him to his forever home. He has already completed basic obedience training and knows many of the foundations needed to succeed. As he continues to mature, ongoing training and positive reinforcement will help build his confidence and strengthen the incredible bond he forms with his family. At home, Finn is a wonderful blend of relaxed companion and playful goofball. He enjoys lounging with his people just as much as he enjoys a good play session. He thrives on attention and can become especially excited when greeting visitors or reuniting with his family after they've been away. Finn walks reasonably well on a leash and rides quietly in the car, though new experiences can make him a bit nervous. A patient adopter willing to help him gain confidence will be rewarded with a devoted companion eager to learn and please. Finn has lived around both dogs and cats. He generally gets along well with other dogs but may be a little too enthusiastic for senior dogs or those with a more laid-back lifestyle. He may also be inclined to chase cats. When it comes to entertainment, Finn loves durable chews like Benebones and Nylabones, and he'll happily spend time working on one. Like many young dogs, he sometimes makes his own fun when bored, so keeping shoes picked up and providing plenty of enrichment is a must! Finn is looking for a calm, structured home with an experienced dog owner who can continue guiding him, building his confidence, and helping him become the very best version of himself. In return, he'll offer unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a lifetime of companionship. If you're looking for a loving best friend who's ready to grow alongside you, Finn may be the perfect addition to your family.    Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Cricket is a sweet, energetic 6 mo beagle mix. The mix is from a larger dog as she's around 20 in tall at the shoulder and weighs around 35 lbs. She is completely house-trained and knows how to use a dog door.  She likes both chilling in her crate or on a cushion in the family room. She's can make it all night in her crate without issue.  She knows how to sit and lie down and takes treats nicely.  She gets along with, and plays well with, other dogs, though she can be a bit possessive with her own toys and bones, if she thinks the others might steal one of them. She has been around cats and likes to check them out, though not overly aggressively. She will sometimes bark/howl if she hears other dogs do the same outside. She does well with car rides and on walks.     Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Meet Wilson or Bruno.  He does not respond to Wilson.  He knows Bruno and responds to Bruno.  He is a Havanese mix born approx 4/5/23! He is a sweet little boy with good character and a beautiful coat.  Wilson is house-trained and does really well when riding in the car.  He has not been around cats or children.  He gets along great with multiple dogs in the home ( medium to small sizes) and his forever home should have a resident dog to help show him the ropes.  Because of his high energy, his forever home should also have a fenced yard.  He has not walked with a leash but he is not opposed to a leash.  Eats well and takes his meds great (helps with some anxiety) and behaves when people come to visit.  He does take medicine to keep the seizures away.  Just a great little guy and wonderful little boy who would make a wonderful addition to a quieter family. He will be your best friend!  He sometimes is a lap dog.   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
