Story
💔 Meet Lucy — the little dog who still believes in love. 🐾 Lucy was found tied to a tree, her body showing she’d just had puppies. She’s estimated around 2 years old and still very much a puppy at heart, full of joy, curiosity, and hope. We believe Lucy was kept in a basement or garage before she was rescued. Because of that, she’s still learning her house manners, but she’s catching on quickly with consistency and patience. She’s such a smart, eager girl who just wants to make you proud. She is an absolute lover and snuggles up like a nice heated blanket 🐾 Lucy loves her chew toys — she keeps one in every room like little treasures she’s collected now that she finally has a safe place to call home. 🧸 She adores other dogs and will play with them all day long, and she’d love to be friends with cats too (though her excitement can be a bit much for some). After all she’s survived, Lucy deserves a family who will give her the love and security she’s been missing. She’s ready for her second chance — could it be with you? 💕

Story
Meet Eden — a beautiful girl with a heart just as lovely as her name. 💕🐾 Eden is an approximately 52-pound medium mixed breed who is ready to find the loving forever home she truly deserves. This sweet girl has such a gentle, kind personality and absolutely loves being around people. She has a calm, affectionate nature and would make a wonderful companion for a lucky family. Eden does great with other dogs and is not good with cats. She enjoys being around her furry friends and would love a home where she can share her love and companionship. She is up to date on all of her vaccinations and is already spayed, so she’s ready to settle right into her new life. Eden was previously heartworm positive, but she has completed treatment and is now heartworm negative — healthy, happy, and ready to move forward with a bright future. Eden is truly such a sweet girl who just wants a family to love her. She’s the type of dog that will happily sit by your side, greet you with a wagging tail, and remind you every day how special rescue dogs really are. Now all Eden needs is someone to give her the forever home she has been waiting for. Could that be you? 🐶❤️

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Riley is a spayed female pit mix. She is around 46 lbs. she was pulled from the Allen County Dog Warden. Riley has an old injury that has left her with a permanent limp, which does not stop her from behaving like a normal dog. She still plays and will chase after toys, and loves play fighting with other dogs and running with them outside. She will always choose to be cuddled and loved on over anything else. She just craves attention and love. She is ok on a leash but does pull a little. Good in the car and likes car rides. She is good with other dogs and loves kids. I would recommend no cats but she does live around a few of them. She just doesn't know her size and likes to chase them. She is spayed, up to date on shots and heart worm negative. She is crate trained. Riley is house trained and does well as long as she is let out consistently.

Story
Jax has been in our family since he was just a little pup. He is now 5.5 years old. The kids are very sad that we need to rehome him. Unfortunately with work, sports, school etc. We are spending less time at home. Jax loves taking walks around the block, otherwise he is pretty lazy. Jax is very protective of his home and his kids. He barks a lot if anyone unknown comes around. He loves the groomer and the boarding facility. When we go on vacation he enjoys his time away also. He hates the vet...that is his biggest flaw. They poke him and he has some trama going there. He has cats at home that he loves and he has done great when we have played at the dog park. I was attacked by another dog that was roaming free while walking Jax and ever since he has been even more protective of me. Jax is house trained. He does sometimes take the kids food off the table if they walk away and Noone is looking. Feel free to ask questions.
