Story
Meet May!! She's an eight-year-old Redbone Coonhound looking for a loving home. She is friendly, with both people and other dogs and has a sweet, social personality. Like many hounds, she has a strong prey drive, so a home without small animals (such as cats, rabbits, or other small pets) would be the best fit. She would do well with an owner who understands hound breeds and can give her the exercise and attention she enjoys.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Though her namesake, Emma Stone, didn’t get the Oscar, this little girl is ready for her starring role! Emma was found under a shed in an empty field just before a snowstorm and brutal temps rolled in. Thanks to a good Samaritan, she and her sister got their second chance, and Emma has been shining ever since. At just 4 months old and 22.5 lbs, she’s expected to be at least 50 lbs full grown. This German Shepherd mix is playful, eager to learn, and already walking well on a leash. She does great in a kennel, loves other dogs, and has been around older kids. Unknown with cats; NOT good with chickens.  She’s vaccinated, spayed, and completely ready for her forever home. Her adoption fee is $250.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 20, 2026, 4:12 pm

Story
Meet Achilles 💙This handsome senior large mixed-breed boy has already fought his battles - and won.When Achilles first came to us, he was in rough shape. He arrived beat up, his ears bleeding, his coat dull, and a few loose teeth causing him discomfort. It was clear he hadn't had an easy road. But like his legendary namesake, Achilles proved he's stronger than anything life throws at him.Today, his ears carry only faint scars - reminders of how far he's come. His coat is now shiny and soft, his painful loose teeth are gone, and he carries himself with a quiet confidence that only comes from resilience. Most importantly, his spirit has never stopped shining.Achilles is a gentle, soulful senior who still has plenty of pep in his step. He's ready to bounce into a home of his own - one filled with soft beds, kind hands, and people who see the hero he truly is. He's the kind of dog who will lean into you for comfort, wag his tail in gratitude for the smallest kindness, and offer loyal companionship in return for love.Senior dogs like Achilles have a special kind of magic. They're past the puppy chaos, grateful for every cozy moment, and devoted beyond measure. All he's missing now is a family to call his own.If you're looking for a resilient, loving best friend who will treasure you as much as you treasure him, Achilles is ready to write his next chapter - and he hopes it's with youNO CATS!!

Story
Meet Bosco. He is 2 years old and really a sweet boy. He loves attention, cuddles, belly rubs, and stealing your socks. He was raised with cats and other dogs so he gets along with everyone. He has never been around kids so i dont know how he will respond. He is used to a doggy door with a fenced yard. He has always been free fed with a gravity feeder and doesn't gorge. He knows basic commands like sit, down, go away, no, lay down, and a few more colorful words as well. He was never crated, and I never leash trained him because he lives loose on 5 fenced acres.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sammi is a gentle, easygoing puppy with the sweetest, softest personality. Her foster describes her as “super chill'. She’s calm, quiet, and happiest when she’s snuggled up next to her person. She’s a total snuggle bug who loves cozy moments and being close to you. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch, in her stroller, or winding down for the night, Sammi is right there, soaking up the comfort. Sammi can be a little timid at first, especially in new environments or with new people. But once she feels safe, her affectionate and loving personality really shines. She just needs a bit of patience and a calm home where she can build confidence at her own pace. She’s an easy puppy to have around-  low-key, adaptable, and not demanding- making her a great fit for someone looking for a quieter, more sensitive companion. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will bond closely and reward your patience with endless snuggles, Sammi is your girl.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 19, 2026, 3:50 pm
