Ruby came to us extremely under weight (38 lbs.) with 10 puppies that were 5 weeks old. She had developed Mastitis and we had to quickly get the puppies eating solid food and get her separated so she could heal. Ruby was owner surrendered to our local shelter in this condition. Terrified and trying to keep her puppies alive. All of her puppies were healthy and have all been adopted. Ruby has completely healed and she is now spayed and is looking for her forever home. She loves to be outside walks calmly on a leash. Great with other dogs . Good with kids can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly.

Hank is a loving, affectionate pup who’s always ready to cuddle and share his big heart. He’s incredibly food-motivated, which makes training and bonding a breeze. Already house-trained, he’s well-behaved indoors and knows how to be a respectful companion. One of his favorite pastimes is playing catch! He’s playful, loyal, and thrives on human connection. Whether you’re looking for a cuddle buddy on the couch or a playful partner in the yard, Hank is the perfect match. He’s truly a lover and is looking for a forever home where he can give (and receive) all the love in the world.
