Story
Was surrendered by young owner to Babinski due to abusive environment at home. Shelby is a very sweet girl that needs a fun home & family to stay with. She is about 3 years old. She is not destrctive. Shelby is housetrained, knows several commands, likes to sit on the couch with me and really likes being petted. Loves squeaky toys...of which she has many. Chuck-it is her favorite thing outside. Unfortunately my dauschund has not accepted Shelby and he has attacked her. I have to keep them separated which is not fair to either of the dogs. My terrier is just fine around her and Shelby gets along with the neighbors dog. I have a kennel for her but she does very well sleeping in the living room at night and in the spare room while I'm at work. Shelby has a fabulous and loving temperament. She will be a great companion.

Story
Rigby was born 2 wks before Christmas 2025. She joined us in Feb 2026. She came from an Amish farm. We have 2 older dogs. She and one of the 2 dogs do not get along. We purchased a full package of obedience training through PetSmart, and only completed the Puppy/ Beginner training. Why we never finished was I required major surgery and I was unable to take her back. Additionally, our lives have gotten busier and I'm returning to work. Rigby is crate trained, but I do not like the idea of leaving her in a crate 15+ hours a day. We have taken Rigby to our local vet (all records will be made available) at time of adoption. She is current with all vaccinations. Rigby needs a home where she can get a lot of attention, other pets, and children. She is red & blue heeler mix with rat terrier. She likes to dig, corral, and chew. It's important to provide her lots of bones, areas designated for digging, and she's excellent at herding! She's affectionate and seeks attention.

Story
Teddy Bear is a very sweet and cuddly dog, that’s where she gets her name. We got her young and we could tell she had some anxiety issues; we learned that her previous owner had physically harmed her and she was not at a good weight. We’re hoping she can find a loving home, but we wish we could keep her as one of us isn’t physically able to keep up with her and the other works a lot.Teddy Bear is:• Sweet, cuddly, and loves to snuggle• High energy and requires physical exertion• Good with cats and often snuggles with them• Taking medication to help manage her anxiety• Afraid of men and not fond of kids (though she can get used to frequent visitors)She requires a good amount of attention and physical activity to feel her best. She is an anxious but very sweet dog who needs an experienced, patient owner to help her feel safe and secure.💰 Rehoming fee: $0

Story
We took bear in after learning he was left with a family that thought they were “watching” him only to have the original owners not return. The story seemed suspicious to us and we decided to foster him out of what we thought was a really strange situation. He’s a good dog, we just never intended on keeping him, as we already have 2. Is great with kids as long as he’s not being pulled on or squished. Gets along great with other animals. We believe he’s possibly been subject to some kind of trauma or similar as he scares easily to loud noises as will retreat into hiding. Storms seem to be hard for him, he has a lot of anxiety and spends most of his time hiding under our bed until bed time when he climbs up to snuggle. Loud noises outside have caused him to bolt and we’ve been having a hard time with him running away. With two kids and two dogs already this is just not something we are capable of handling any longer. Very timid, very loving. Wants to be held and snuggled all the time.
