Story
I'm looking for a new home for my dog. He's a great dog, but I'm moving into an apartment and can't keep him any longer. His name is Rohan and he is about 4-5 years old. He looks like a Golden Retriever, but he's actually half German Shepherd mix and half Great White Pyrenees. He is good with kids, cats, and chickens, and has gotten along fine with most other dogs. He has lived mostly outside and is a good guard dog (will bark when anyone approaches the house). He is friendly when he realizes you are a safe person. He has never bitten anyone. He loves attention and will readily sit or lay down for petting. I would love to give him away to a family or person or couple, instead of surrendering him to a shelter.

Story
We have a very special dog for you to meet. His name isn't unique or outstanding but his story and his personality certainly are! This is Buddy. Buddy arrived into foster care 12/7/24. No, thats not a typo. Buddy has been in foster care for over a year. He was 6mo old when we got him and sadly, Buddy had Anaplasmosis. Anaplasmosis; also known as tick borne disease; caused Buddy to have dangerously low platelet counts. He was one of those special babies we just wanted to wrap in bubble wrap to keep him safe but Buddy had other plans. He wanted to dog. He wanted to play. He wanted to run with his foster siblings. Carefully and under the very watchful eye of his foster mom; he did! Buddy got to be a dog. Buddy has fought to get healthy for a year. A year of prednisone and sometimes other meds when he had complications to be healthy enough to safely neuter and live a normal life. Buddy WON!! He took his meds like a champ and he learned every day! We are ecstatic to say Buddy is finally healthy! His blood counts have held without the meds!! On the outside he looks like a normal dog. Ok, maybe a little chunky but prednisone does that. On the inside he's steel from fighting his hard won battle. Buddy is officially ready to find his forever!! Here's what's most important to know about Buddy's future forever home. He's a very determined boy who needs a home that can not only set but maintain boundaries!! This is non-negotiable for him. He's a big boy and sometimes stubborn. Buddy is good with other dogs of all sizes. Buddy is very gentle when taking treats from children, when hes told to and his boundaries are in place. Cats are a hard no. Buddy is house trained and pretty good on a leash. He does still pull but he didn't get much practice as a pup because of his health issues. It was to risky to expose him to potential bites ect. When Buddy came to us his counts were so low that trimming a nail to short could be life threatening so he wasn't taken for many walks. He will need practice. Buddy is an amazing dog and has fought so hard to get to this point. He deserves the world!! Buddy does get along easier and faster with women than men but he loves everyone. Buddy is a special case. But he will forever be your Buddy if you let him.

Story
Tia got her first groom last Friday and did great! This special girl has come so far since joining rescue. Tia is a 10yr old Maltese mix who was surrendered from a puppy mill back in November. Shes been working in her socializing and learning what a house is. Tia is not your typical dog. She does well with puppy pads and does enjoy her outside time. Tia is still learning that humans are ok. And we don't blame her. When you spend the first 7yrs of your life in a puppy mill; it changes you. Thankfully her puppy having days are over. Tia is fully vetted. She will require a calm home with understanding people who get that shes not a lap dog. Her family will need to understand that she has to take things at her pace. Her kennel is her safe spot. She loves to watch her foster siblings and resident dogs from the comfort of her doggy bed in the safety of her kennel. She's been thru somethings and patience is the key with her. Her trust cant be rushed, it has to be earned. She would do best with another dog her size for a companion that she can learn from. She maybe older but she deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort and safety. With unconditional love, patience and understanding. #nonprofitanimalrescue #puppymillsurvivor #fosteringsaveslives #cuteness #fosterpuppylove #fosterpuppiesofinstagram #survivorstrong

Story
Gideon is a 65# Catahoula/Lab mix who will be 6 in December. He is a very sweet and smart boy. He is due for his distemper, but is otherwise up to date on vetting and is neutered. Gideon has lived with small dogs most of his life and a big dog in his younger years. He loves water, sweaters, snow, and a nice nap snuggled up together. I have increasing mobility issues that make it unsafe for us to have a big dog anymore. We found a home for him 18months ago and he has come back due to an injury an adult in the home sustained at work. He is a delightful boy with great promise in sports! He will come with everything he could need. Including a crate, gear, toys, bowls, and sweaters. Gideon is very smart and eager to learn anything you want to teach him.

Story
Meet Tilly ❤️. She is a wonderful dog with a goofy and loving personality! She loves to cuddle and is made of springs when she is excited. We love her very much but know we are not the right home for her. Unfortunately the previous owner lied to me about her level of training as well as telling me she is good with cats. She is not good with cats. I have worked tirelessly with her so that she now responds to her name, will sit, and lay down. She is pretty well potty training but she used potty pads in the past. We have encouraged her to go outside and have bells on the door as well as encouraging her with treats. She needs someone more experienced and who has more time to train her. I have 3 special needs kids and this is just too much on my plate unfortunately. She would do great with a high energy dog buddy but no cats at all, she chases ours a lot. Tilly is truly amazing, just needs a home with less chaos and more time ❤️.

Story
I adopted him as a 3 month old puppy, he was born on April 5th 2024. Onyx was his name but he bucks around the grass when he plays outside and has adopted the endearment name of Bucky. He is one of the cuddliest dogs you’ll ever meet. Lift up a blanket and letting him snuggle up to you is one of his favorite things. He loves to fetch and play tug of war. He’s very vocal and gives the cutest puppy dog pouts. I’m looking for someone that can devote a lot of attention to him and isn’t bothered by him always wanting to be next to you. My life has been affected in a way that I have to move and can’t take him with me and I want him to go to a home where he will be loved and cherished as much as I have.
