After the passing of my mother, Rocker was more than a pet; he was an emotional support & a friend. He loves to cuddle, play tug, and chase his tail. He will protect you from birds and squirrels on walks haha & he loves to sit in the car. He isn’t a fan of the rain or the cold but he loves the outdoors.

Story
Meet Tango, an adorable pibble mix that is 1 year old. We met Tango as a foster last October and instantly fell in love and added him to our pack. Tango is young and energetic. He is very smart and friendly, he loves everyone he meets. He enjoys running around (inside and out), playing with his dog friends and chomping on toys. He isn’t all play however, he loves nothing more than cuddling up with his human. He is your typical “Velcro” dog. He will follow you around the house. Tango has completed a basic socialization and training course at a local training center. He knows commands: sit, stay, leave it, come, place. Tango is looking for a new home with a few less dog siblings. We have older dogs in the home and we cannot give him the attention he needs as a young dog. Please consider this sweet boy if you are looking for your next best friend!

Story
Charlee is a sweet, silly ~9-10 year old girl that loves to spend her days sunbathing, sleeping, eating, going on short walks, and snuggling up with you to watch tv - especially that last one. In 2016, Charlee was rescued (with 16 other dogs) by Stray Rescue from a hoarding situation. Stray Rescue nursed her back to health and fostered her until we adopted her in April 2017. She loves having you by her side and the moment you arrive home from being gone, you are met with a burst of excitement and joy. We would love to see her in a home with soft, comfy spaces for her to relax (dog beds, rugs, couch). We spend a lot of time at home and since she is a creature of habit, someone who can spend a lot of time with her is preferred. She likes to do her business off leash, so a yard is a plus. Charlee has a little trouble with stairs, so a home with no or limited steps is preferred. We love Charlee and need her to go to a loving, gentle and patient, home. :)
