Story
Luna is roughly 7 months old, I was asked to take her in because a friend could not keep her. She is very friendly and she listens to basic commands. I have another dog so she is good with other pets, although I’m not sure about cats. Luna has a lot of energy and I work too many hours to give her the attention that she needs. Preferably she should go with someone that has kids.If you are interested please text me, i work a lot and not always available to answer my phone.4845104022

Tedi's date of birth is December 3rd 2024. He was adopted at 9 weeks from a local breeder. He weighs 6 pounds, in excellent health, and needs to be in a home as the only pet. Loves people. He is very playful. Enjoys long walks. Great in car and going shopping. Will use pee pads when necessary. Tedi can be left alone for many hours without any separation anxiety. Typical Yorkie temperament (wanting to be in charge). Will destroy a plush toy in seconds. No blankets for him. Need to rehome due to medical issues requiring relocation.

Story
Meet Lilo Lilo is a beautiful, solid white girl, about 1.5 years old, who came to us as a shelter pull from Louisiana. She was originally surrendered by her owner due to changes in their living situation, and is now getting a fresh start while she waits for her forever home. Lilo can be shy when first meeting new people and will need proper, slow introductions to help her feel safe and comfortable. Once she warms up, though, she truly blossoms into the sweetest little love bug. She enjoys affection and forms strong bonds with those she trusts. With a patient and understanding home, Lilo will continue to build confidence and show just how loving and devoted she can be. She’s a gentle soul looking for someone who will give her the time she needs to shine.

Story
Meet Cora 🐾 Cora is a lovely 3-year-old, medium-sized girl who is brand new to the rescue as of April 14th. As we’re just beginning to get to know her, her full personality is still unfolding—but she’s already capturing hearts with her gentle presence. Cora came to us as a former puppy mill momma, and it’s clear she’s been through more than any dog ever should. Now, she finally has the chance to experience life as a beloved companion instead of just a means to an end. Right now, Cora is in her “learning the world” era—taking things in, adjusting to new surroundings, and beginning to understand what kindness, comfort, and care truly feel like. Dogs like Cora often need a little extra time, patience, and reassurance as they blossom, but the reward is something truly special. As we continue to learn more about her personality, preferences, and needs, we’ll be sure to share updates. For now, we’re excited to watch Cora’s story unfold as she begins this new chapter. If you have a calm, patient home and a heart for giving a deserving dog a fresh start, Cora could be the one to grow right alongside you. 🌷

Story
4/27/26: See ya later, everyone! I'm being shipped off to the rescue's monthly Prison Program today! While I'm there I'll get some basic training, crate training, and some socialization. I won't be available for adoption until I return to the rescue on May 26th. If you'd like to come meet me when I'm back, please schedule your appointment that Wednesday the 27th. Until then! --- 4/20/26: Meet Meesha 🐾 Meesha is a beautiful 5-year-old shepherd with a striking mostly black coat accented by touches of tan. She came to us from Louisiana after being surrendered through no fault of her own, and she’s now ready to begin her next chapter with a loving forever family. Meesha is a sweet girl with a kind disposition who enjoys human companionship and being part of the action. She will benefit from continued training to help refine her manners and build a strong bond with her future family. She’s a smart and determined dog who likes to keep life interesting, including showing off her impressive ability to climb a 6-foot fence if given the opportunity. Because of this, she will need a home that can provide a secure and supervised environment to keep her safe. Meesha can be reactive toward other dogs, so she is looking for a home where she can truly shine as the one and only pet. She’s ready to embrace her role as the “queen of the castle” and soak up all the love and attention for herself. She is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations, making her ready to head home with the right match. Meesha is ready for her fresh start. With structure, patience, and love, she has all the potential to be a loyal and devoted companion. If you’re looking for a smart, spirited dog who will keep life full of personality, Meesha may be your perfect fit. 💛 --- 4/7/26: Meet Meesha! 🐾 Meesha is a beautiful 5-year-old shepherd with a striking mostly black coat accented by touches of tan.

Story
Meet Keith Keith is a stunning sable boy, approximately 1.5 years old, who came to us after being pulled from a shelter in Maryland, where he was believed to be a stray. While his past remains a bit of a mystery, it’s clear that he is taking in the world cautiously and learning to trust again at his own pace. Keith can be shy when meeting new people and will need a patient, understanding home that allows him the time he needs to feel comfortable. Slow introductions will be key in helping him build confidence. Once he begins to settle in, you’ll start to see beyond those cautious eyes to the sweet and gentle soul underneath. Keith does go outside for playtime and potty breaks with a female dog, and while they get along well, he can become protective and a bit jealous if the other dog is receiving attention. Because of this, he would most likely do best as the only pet in the home, where he can truly be the king of the castle. As Keith grows more secure, he shows all the signs of becoming an incredibly loyal companion who will form a strong, meaningful bond with his person. He is looking for a calm, consistent home where he can continue to blossom and feel safe. With time, patience, and kindness, Keith has the potential to truly come out of his shell and become a deeply loving and devoted best friend.
