Story
Say hi to Luna! Luna is an adorable smooth fox terrier mix who is approximately 4-1/2 years old & was sadly bounced around a fair amount at a young age. She currently weighs about 35 lbs, is tall & wiry, & boy can she jump! This little gal can jump five to six feet in the air from a stand still, & she is also extremely fast! We think Miss Luna would make a great agility dog if someone was willing to put in the time to work with her. Still a youngster, she is very playful, full of energy & smart as a whip! Luna loves spending time in the yard, running & playing both with the other dogs & by herself. She has a great time playing ball all by herself at times! Luna is a very sweet girl who loves everybody, especially kids! She also gets along well with other dogs. She is not a dominant personality, but is also not super submissive; she falls pretty solidly in between & easily submitted to our pack elders, but she isn’t afraid to correct a dog she thinks isn’t acting right! Luna is food motivated & LOVES treats! She is housebroken, crate-trained, & good on leash. She is also fully vetted (spayed, de-wormed, heartworm negative, up-to-date on all vaccinations) including microchip with lifetime registration. This silly, affectionate little girl is sooo ready for her forever home after being in our rescue for over three years for no good reason! A securely fenced yard & a young playful sibling are required for Luna’s adoption. Adoption fee is $150. Verbal interview, home check, vet reference & adoption contract required.

Story
I found Whiskey and his 9 siblings on a very busy road in the country, talked around to neighbors and found the “owners” who were just feeding them but not keeping them contained. So, I rescued the whole litter and working on getting them all UTD on vaccinations, spay/neuter, wellness exam, heartworm neg. and microchipped. Every single one of the pups are SO SO sweet and docile! They are all living in my backyard with adequate shelter during this time. Looking for rescue or direct adoption.

Story
Lady is a very loving dog with lots of energy, she is kennel trained. She is about 2 years old give or take a month or so, she did not have the best of beginnings before my ex husband took her from the people who had her. She is very shy and timid and will pee when meeting new people but boy oh boy once she's comfortable with you she will be all over you. She loves cuddles and belly rubs and playing fetch. She is food aggressive around other animals, but she's good with other pets if they can handle her excitement. I need to find her a home soon, she is kennel trained.

Story
Hello, we’re rehoming our little boy, Jax, nicknames Little, Little Jax and Juice. We are looking for an overly loving family who is wanting to add to their pack. Little Jax turned one years old July 25th. He is so sweet, very affectionate, energetic, fast and full of life. He is a chihuahua rat terrier mix, we believe, and he is very small. We have two other chihuahuas, he MUST go to a home with other young playful dogs, we know he loves small dogs. He is an absolute pack animal and LOVES his furry companions. He really needs a young companion he can play and get energies out with and that will teach him how to play. He loves playing with his toys and will be interested in anything if you make it playful. lol He loves treats and anything he can chew on. We have been working with him and he listens very well but will need continued training, the family that adopts him needs to have experience with training and keeping a schedule as well as having plenty of time to be with him.

Who's in need of a sweet loving couch potato? Meet Makoa, a 4.5 y/o Am Staff Terrier who loves to lay around on the couch, the bed, and in the sun. He is house trained, crate trained, uses a doggy door, and knows multiple commands. He loves to be the center of attention and will cuddle as soon as you sit or lay down. Makoa requires a privacy fenced yard without any other pets or small children. He does best when not left home alone for long periods of time. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. He does have minor hip dysplasia so he's not good with long walks or running. Makoa (Hawaiian meaning fearless, courageous, and strength) DOB: Nov 13, 2019 Weight: 75 lbs Adoption Fee will be donated to a local rescue.
