Meet Dixie: Your Future Best Friend! 🐶 Name: Dixie 🦴 Breed: Beagle 🎂 Age: 8 months 🏡 Current Residence: Foster Home (but she thinks she's running a five-star hotel!) About Dixie: Are you looking for a pup who’s a master at snuggling and a champion of playtime? Meet Dixie, the eight-month-old beagle who has mastered the art of cuteness and is on a mission to steal your heart (and maybe a sock or two). Dixie's Skills Include: - Expert Snuggler: She can melt hearts faster than a popsicle on a summer day! - Cat Whisperer: Don't let her beagle instincts fool you; she gets along great with the feline crowd! - Kid-Approved: She’ll happily join in any impromptu game of “chase the squeaky toy.” - Pawesome Playmate: Ready to party with other dogs – if there’s a puppy shindig, you’ll want Dixie to be the guest of honor! - Learning Quick: Dixie is on a mission to become the ultimate spoiled house puppy! She’s picking up skills faster than you can say “fetch,” mastering crate training, leash manners, and potty training like a pro! Why Choose Dixie? For just $350, you can adopt this lovable bundle of joy. Her adoption fee includes spaying, vaccines, chipping, and a dewormer, meaning your only responsibility will be to keep up with her mischievous antics and ensure there’s always a comfy spot on the couch for her to snuggle in! Warning: Side effects of adopting Dixie may include excessive laughter, an overflowing heart, and an undeniable urge to play fetch at all hours of the day. Join the Dixie fan club today and get ready for a lifetime of adventures and snuggles! 🐾❤️

Story
✨ Meet Ruby, Road Trip Extraordinaire ✨ This sweet girl has already found her way out of the shelter, where she was at risk for not making it to the next chapter, and is now happily hanging with our rescue. Ruby is ready to embark on her next adventure: finding her forever home! 💖 Ruby is a 2-year-old Husky/Lab mix with a heart as big as her appetite for snacks. This gal is incredibly sweet, loves being around other dogs, and brings joy (and a bit of mischief) wherever she goes. If you could use more tail wags, goofy antics, and belly laughs, Ruby is your girl! 🐶 🐾 Why Ruby Should Join Your Crew: - Dog-Loving & Playful: She adores other dogs and is always ready to throw down in a playful wrestling match. - Potty Trained & Crate Trained: Ruby knows the house rules and settles into her crate better than most of us settle into a couch after a long day. - Treat Motivated: Snacks are the key to her heart—training is a piece of cake (or a dog treat)! - Knows Basic Commands: Smart and eager, she loves learning and showing off her skills, much like a furry student in a silly talent show. - Sweet as Can Be: Ruby is gentle and affectionate—she's basically a walking warm hug. - Goofy as Can Be: With her silly antics, she’ll have you laughing in no time, whether it’s her zoomies or her hilarious attempts to catch her own tail! Adoption fee is $250, covering spay, vaccines, microchip, (negative) heartworm test, and up-to-date on flea/tick prevention. Ruby loves walks and car rides and can play for hours with her canine pals. Don’t wait—bring home laughter and love with Ruby! 🎉

Story
Hi friends - Rocko here 🐾 I’ve been with my rescue since November 17, 2022 - that’s THREE winters now. I didn’t find my forever home for the holidays, but I’m still holding onto hope that my people are out there. Maybe you’re reading this right now 🤞❄️🐶 A little about me: I’m a 4-year-old, 56.5 lb pit bull / mystery mix with great manners and a calm, loving personality. I’m past the wild puppy phase and solidly in my “loyal companion” era. 🐾 Why my foster thinks I’m pretty special: ✔️ House trained ✔️ Knows sit, high five, and leave it ✔️ Professional-level cuddler ✔️ Dog-friendly with other medium to large dogs ✔️ Great with older kids ✔️ Happy, affectionate, and easy to love I’d thrive with a fenced yard and maybe a big dog buddy - but mostly, I just want a home that I can truly call my own. ❄️ If you can’t adopt right now, come skate tonight, have fun, and know you’re helping pups like me get one step closer to home! 💙 If you are looking to adopt, maybe this is our moment! 🤞 🎁 Adoption Fee: SPONSORED (our community is truly amazing 🙏) Thanks for supporting my rescue - and for keeping hope alive, even after the snow melted 🐾💜
