Ruger is a three-year-old chocolate lab who has been a great addition to our family since we got him as a puppy! He is very friendly, he is great with other dogs and he is great with our baby girl.

An ideal person to adopt Ruger. Is someone who lives an active lifestyle who loves to be outside!

Story
Meet Freckles! Warning: Side effects of meeting Freckles include immediate infatuation. This active, happy-go-lucky puppy is basically a walking serotonin boost. He treats every stranger and passing dog like a celebrity sighting. Because he’s still in his "gator phase" (working on that excited puppy mouthing!), he’s best suited for a home with older kids who understand that he's a work in progress. Freckles is incredibly smart and will do just about anything for a snack. To keep his massive brain from plotting world domination, his foster mom has taught him an impressive list of cues including, but not limited to, down, peekaboo, spin, and sit. He is a straight-A student, though he's still trying to teach humans how to read his mind when it comes to potty breaks. Social Circle: Freckles is a major fan of other dogs and would love a furry sibling to help him burn off his endless puppy battery. He also lives with a cat whom he loves with the fire of a thousand burning suns. Sadly, the feeling is not mutual. The cat has filed a formal restraining order against him due to his enthusiasm, much to his heartbreak. When the day is done, he crates like a pro. His only condition? To be tucked in under a blanket like a tiny human, especially when it's cold. If your household is currently suffering from a lack of freckles, we have the cure. Apply to adopt him today! 🐾 All our pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Junie B. is a scrappy little girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This adorable little lady loves to romp and play with her dog friends, and she’s just as happy making new human friends, too.

This girl is the best of both worlds: playful, people-loving, and a total snuggle bug! 🥰 If you’re looking for a sweet little sidekick who can keep up with the fun and then curl up in your arms for some quality cuddle time, Junie B. might just be your girl. Could Junie B. be the missing piece of your family? ❤️ All our pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Calling all Bulldog lovers! 🐾 Meet Cadet, an approximately 6-year-old Bulldog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and absolutely NO concept of personal space! This boy is a CHARACTER with a capital C. He snores like a freight train, farts like it's his job, and practices what we can only describe as violent cuddling. 😂 Personal space? Never heard of it! He's stubborn as can be, which can be hilarious and exasperating. The good news? Cadet is dog-friendly AND cat-friendly, so he may fit right into a home with furry siblings! Cadet is also excellent on leash...unless he decides he doesn't want to walk anymore. Cadet deserves the very best home he can find. A bonus would be a home familiar with the bulldog breed to provide the care he needs, and embrace all the snorts, snores, snuggles, and silly antics that come with loving him. Could you be Cadet's happily-ever-after? 🏡 🐶 Apply to adopt Cadet through Sota Saves, and please share to help this special guy find his forever family! All our pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped. To meet this sweet pup, fill out an application today!

Story
Meet Moonpie! 🌙💗 At eight years old, Moonpie is a sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl who is ready to find a family to call her own. This mature lady loves being around her people and thrives in a calm, loving environment. She can be a little bashful when meeting new people, but with patience, kindness, and a little time to settle in, her loving personality begins to shine. Once she feels comfortable, she fits right into family life! Moonpie gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions around. Her experience with cats has been more challenging, as she has chased and barked at her foster's cat, so a cat-free home may be the best fit unless introductions can be managed safely and slowly. This well-mannered girl has so many wonderful qualities! She's potty trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and sleeps peacefully through the night in her kennel, snuggled up in her cozy blankets. She doesn't jump on the furniture, enjoys relaxed car rides, and loves getting outside to sniff, explore, and show off her morning zoomies in the yard. She hasn't quite discovered the joy of toys yet, but who knows what she'll learn to love as she continues to come out of her shell! One thing Moonpie will never be shy about? FOOD! This girl loves her meals and gets especially excited when she sees food coming her way. She's even convinced her foster family that a little canned food mixed into her dry kibble is a must-have! Moonpie is a kindhearted companion who would love a family willing to give her the time and reassurance she needs to feel safe. In return, you'll get a loyal, gentle sweetheart who loves being near her people and is ready to fill your home with quiet companionship, affection, and plenty of love. Could Moonpie be the missing piece of your family? 🐾 All our pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Story
Heiress is a sweetheart dog that absolutely loves attention. I agreed to foster her when her owner was between homes. After finding out she has allergies that require grain free food, and a care routine, her owner refused to reimburse her medical costs and abandoned her with me. That was a year ago. Unfortunately, with her needs, my work schedule and health issues, I can’t give her what she needs. She is such a sweetheart, and gets so happy to see you she prances and wags her tail so much her butt wiggles! She just needs a home that can care for her and give her the attention she needs.
