Story
SENIOR DOG ALERT — Meet Jordi 🐾 Jordi was picked up as a stray after what looks like a long time surviving on his own. He’s extremely skinny at only around 40–45 lbs, and based on his condition and appearance, our best guess is that he’s a senior — likely around 10 years old (Just estimates of course). He also has a longer nose than a typical bully breed, so he’s definitely some kind of mix, so we think he may have some Plott Hound. Despite everything he’s been through, he is incredibly sweet. ❤️🐾He’s low energy, calm, curious, and mostly just likes to quietly sniff around and rest. He keeps his kennel pretty clean and doesn’t bark much. The only thing we’ve really noticed is he gets very eager taking treats — which honestly makes sense considering how hungry he must have been. He doesn't react much to or have much interest in other dogs, but hasn't reacted to any of them negatively. He just seems more focused on finally being safe and comfortable. Can't say we blame him. Jordi deserves to spend his senior years knowing kindness, full meals, soft blankets, and love.

Story
🐾 Meet Kiki! 🐾 Kiki is a beautiful girl who’s looking for a family to call her own! We estimate she’s around 5 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. This sweet girl absolutely loves affection and soaks up every bit of love she can get. She has a medium-to-high energy level, so she’d love a family that can give her plenty of playtime and cuddles. Kiki absolutely LOVES going on walks! ❤️ With extremely limited resources it’s hard for us to dog test but Kiki doesn’t appear to be dog aggressive. She would benefit from slow, proper introductions, just like all dogs do. With the right match and a little patience, she has the potential to make a wonderful companion. A home with a yard where she can run and play would be a dream come true for this sweet girl. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate dog who’s ready to be your best friend, Kiki may be the perfect match. ~~a kind person has offered to sponsor her adoption fee for an approved adoption~~

Story
Meet Farah! 💕 This beautiful young girl is ready for a fresh start and a family to call her own. Farah is: 🐾 Female 🐾 Approximately 10–12 months old 🐾 Around 30 lbs. 🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and playful 🐾 Crate trained and quiet in her kennel Farah was found living in a makeshift pen outside of an abandoned trailer, but despite her difficult start, she has remained an incredibly loving and happy girl. She greets people with a wagging tail, loves attention, and has no stranger danger—she is playful and affectionate with everyone she meets. Some of Farah’s favorite things: ❤️ Getting attention from people ❤️ Running and getting her zoomies out ❤️ Playing and exploring ❤️ Being close to her humans Farah has done wonderfully in boarding and has shown she is a great houseguest. She is 100% crate trained and settles quietly in her kennel. She even has a cute habit of “army crawling” around when she’s being silly or playful. Farah is still building her confidence in new environments. She can be unsure about being outside by herself and feels much more comfortable when her person is nearby. She would do best with a family who can continue helping her gain confidence and showing her that the world is a safe place. Farah has been introduced to other dogs. She is playful and social, but she is a confident girl who likes to be involved and may try to take the lead during interactions. She would do best with slow, proper introductions and a canine companion who matches her personality. Farah is looking for: ❤️ A loving family willing to continue basic training ❤️ Someone who can help her build confidence ❤️ A home where she can get exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection A fenced yard would be a bonus since Farah loves to run and burn off her puppy energy, but what she really wants most is a person of her own. Farah has so much love to give and deserves the chance to experience what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family. She is ready to start her next chapter! ⚠️ Vetting is currently pending ⚠️ Has not been tested with cats or children at this time If you’re looking for a young, friendly, affectionate companion who is ready to blossom with guidance and love, Farah may be the perfect match. 💕 Please share Farah’s story and help her find the forever home she deserves!

Story
STOP and Meet Franco 💙 This handsome guy is Franco, a stocky Bully mix who weighs about 65 pounds. We estimate he’s around 3–4 years old, and despite whatever life has thrown at him, he has the sweetest soul. Franco absolutely loves treats, and while he’s still figuring out what toys are, he’s already mastered the art of melting hearts with his adorable smile. One look at that face, and all you’ll want to do is shower him with hugs and kisses. We don’t know what his past looked like, but we do know he deserves a future filled with love, safety, and a family to call his own. He hasn’t had any vetting yet, but don’t let that stop you from giving this amazing boy the second chance he deserves. If you have any questions or are interested in Franco, please send us a Facebook message. ❤️ Let’s show Franco that his best days are still ahead of him.
