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.

Kelce is the sweetest boy. He needs a home where he can run and have the attention we cannot provide. My health has taken a down turn since we got him and I cannot keep up with him anymore. He loves hugs!!

Story
Moby is so fun! He loves fetch and to be outside. But he also is the biggest snuggler. He is great with kids of all ages and loves going on walks. He was adopted at 4 months from the humane society. We have had some life changes recently that make it hard for us to give him the time and attention he deserves. He is the most loving dog and would do best with someone who has time for him! He sleeps in a kennel and does great! He knows how to sit, lay down, stay, ‘back up’, and will go to his ‘bed’ or ‘cage’ when prompted. He LOVES snacks. Literally any food is gold to this dog. He is extremely trainable and so enjoyable to be around.

Story
Meet Harvest! 🌿💛 Harvest is a sweet, shy girl who is slowly learning to trust. She’s great with cats, loves following our mini golden doodle, and would do best with a calm, social dog in the home. She hasn’t been around kids and would thrive in a quiet household with patient people. She’s still building confidence—eye contact makes her nervous, and she tends to stick to the edges of the room. But she’s making progress! She loves food, understands routines, and is starting to enjoy cozy moments next to her humans. Potty training is a work in progress, and she’s not a fan of being contained away from other dogs. A fenced yard and a gentle approach will help her continue to blossom. Harvest is incredibly smart and just needs time, love, and a safe space to fully come out of her shell. If you have a calm home and a big heart, Harvest could be the perfect match! 💕🐾

Story
💝HHR Hero is a dreamy Anatolian Shepherd mix who is extremely food / treat motivated and learning many things quickly. He already understands simple commands. Hero loves to give hugs. He is truly the sweetest boy who loves his feline and canine resident friends. When he’s feeling tired, he will go to an area he feels safe in to rest and doesn’t require you to be nearby. But he loves affection and pets. Loves time be brushed. He’s super smart, adorable… a real gentle giant. He will be a great addition to anyone looking for a big, sweet teddy bear 🧸

Story
Meet HHR Luca & HHR Nala – A Smart, Sweet Bonded Pair! Luca and Nala are a lovable duo who came into rescue together and share a strong bond. Both are affectionate, intelligent pups who enjoy car rides, snuggles, and showing off their “sit” and “shake” skills. They think laps were made just for them! Luca is a playful, goofy guy who’s curious about cats and can’t resist a chase—but it’s all in fun! He does great with other dogs and older, respectful kids. He’s still working on potty training, but belly bands are helping him stay on track. Nala is a calm, nurturing presence. She’s fully potty trained and gets along well with cats. She does well with Luca, though she can be a bit selective with new dogs. Like Luca, she prefers older kids who give her space when needed.
