Story
Doja Dog Doja Dog originally hails from Delaware. Much like others, she’s had a ruff start at no fault of her own. Doja is a result of irresponsible breeding, and unfortunately fell into hands of someone attempting to breed her at only 2 months old with 2 larger dogs. When she arrived to foster in late February she was skin and bone (19.5lbs). She’s now a happy, healthy, puppy weighing in at 35 lbs. She’s currently UTD on all shots and will be spayed in order to be adopted. Doja Dog Today: 10 months old Boxer mix breed Housebroken to use puppy pads while potty training Crate trained Working on her tricks & manners Mid-high energy (she’s learning how to puppy) Will thrive in a home with children & other similar sized dogs Timid with new people Excited to explore new places, environments Favorite toys: wishbone hard chewer, squeaky teddy bear, whatever her foster brothers have - loves ropes but must be supervised Loves a good lukewarm shower and she will enter yours if given the opportunity Adores her people Will fall asleep in the car House fire survivor/very well-behaved hotel guest

Story
We are looking to rehome our beloved dog, Rollo. Rollo is 6 years old, in good health, and would do best in a home with no children or other pets. Unfortunately, Rollo has not transitioned well after our new baby came home. We want him to be in a child- and pet-free home where there will be no anxiety around everyday. He does not do well around children. He is very affectionate once you know him, but he definitely needs time to warm up to people. He is definitely a spoiled boy, and loves to sleep on the back of the couch and in bed. We want a home for him that will be able to keep him and love him forever.

Story
PIPPIN NEEDS A HERO ASAP!!!!! Pippin has already been through a lot. This little girl was abandoned in a doghouse, and when she was found, she was covered in sores and scars. (last picture) She deserves a second chance at love. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A HOME that will work with her to overcome this abuse. After months of rehabilitation She is so much better. Her foster mom can dog anything to her without fear. She is very Leery of new people. She gets along with some other VERY SUBMISSIVE dogs. Pippin freezes up when she is on a leash. We are working on that. Given time and patience, she warms up to people. Pippin has come a long way from where she was when she was first rescued, but she still has a long way to go. She needs a special home with owners who understand that she needs time and space to feel comfortable, and who are willing to work with her on her terms. Because of this abuse, she would do best in a home without children, as she is protective of her possessions. Her foster home is working with her on her protective behavior of food and toys. She is UTD on all vaccines, spayed, kept current on heart guard and flea and tick meds. *************PLEASE READ*********************** WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY. WE ARE VOLUNTEERS. WE ARE REVIEWING ALL APPLICATIONS. Our typical turnaround time for applications is within 1 week. If interested please fill out a application. - Once your application is approved, a volunteer will reach out. We work by appointment only. After you fill out a online application.

Story
Meet Snowball, affectionately known Snowy! This adorable 10-month-old Papillon-Yorkie mix is ready to steal your heart and brighten your days. Snowy is bursting with energy and love for everyone she meets! Recently overcoming a tough challenge with eye surgery, Snowy is now spayed and up-to-date on all her shots, making her the perfect addition to your family. She thrives in her foster home, getting along famously with other dogs and showing off her playful spirit. Snowy's enthusiasm for life means she can be a bit jumpy and will need some guidance on basic manners, but with a little patience and training, she'll blossom into the perfect companion. A fenced yard is ideal for this little runner to safely explore her surroundings. While we don't have history with young children, we recommend a home with kids over 12 who can appreciate her spirited personality. If you’re ready to welcome this lovable girl into your life, apply today! Our dedicated volunteers will review applications and reach out if approved. Don’t miss out on the chance to bring Snowy’s joy into your home!
