Story
Saber is a big dog who doesn't understand his own size. He does unfortunately have some abuse in his past. He was left outside and abandoned by his owners. Saber was being cared for by some neighbors but they wanted to get him off the street and into a home. Saber is a very sweet boy and will make a great dog with patience and training however due to his size we are recommending at this time that he is in a home with no other pets or small children. Saber has not be exposed to children and due to his size and puppy nature we would be worried that he would accidentally injury another smaller child or animal. Saber is working on leash training and house training. Saber will be ready at the end of October 2026.

Story
Ruby really gave us a run for our money as she ran all around Vintondale for over 1 week. We tried trapping but she bounced from house to house for food and would not go near the trap. One day she went under a trailer and we crawled under and were able to get her. She is very shy and scared when first meeting new people but she does warm up. Her personality starts to show about 1 week after and beyond that boy does she really open up. All she needs is to be able to trust.

Meet Ranger! If you are looking for a loyal companion who has moved past the chaotic puppy phase, this handsome 5-year-old Terrier mix might be your perfect match.

He is completely house-broken and doesn’t mind cats, making for a peaceful co-existence. When it comes to other pups, he prefers a chill environment—he will do best with dogs that can respect his personal space. Ranger does have environmental allergies, but they are fully managed with a daily allergy medication that he takes like an absolute champ.
