Story
Meet Charles — a gentle goofball with a heart as big as his paws 🐾 Charles is a just-over-one-year-old lab mix (with maybe a dash of Mountain Cur mystery) who’s equal parts playful pup and professional couch potato. Found as a stray alongside another dog, Charles has clearly decided that life is better with friends—and that includes dogs, cats, and kids. He absolutely adores children and is wonderfully gentle with them. At first meeting, Charles can be a little shy, the kind of guy who likes to take a moment to read the room. Give him a little time (and maybe a squeaky toy), and his sweet, goofy personality shines through. He has happy bursts of puppy energy—especially when balls are involved—but he’s just as content to curl up beside you and supervise nap time. Charles’ favorite things include: Chews he can really sink his teeth into Squeaky toys (the noisier, the better) Balls of all kinds Cozy couches and warm humans If you’re looking for a loving, kid-friendly companion who can keep up on play days and slow down for snuggle nights, Charles might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to trade stray life for forever life—preferably one with toys, treats, and a spot next to you on the couch. 💛 While undergoing a routine veterinary evaluation, we learned Charles is heartworm positive. We are currently having him treated, and as long as his adopters are okay providing him a few months of rest and continuing his treatment (covered by the rescue) with the current treating vet, Charles can go home. He does not pose a risk to current animals in the home, and we’d be more than happy to go over heartworm and treatment with you, should you have questions. Kennel license 16984

Story
Meet lil Miss Mabel. Mabel is a 3 year old midsize mix who is a bit of a scaredy cat, but tries so hard to be brave. It will take some time for Mabel to be comfortable with new people and meeting any dogs. While in foster care, she has really come out of her shell, and can show so many cute emotions on her face. She loves to play, both with her humans and her foster siblings. She loves fetch, tug of war and wrestling. She does well settling down at the end of the night, snuggling on the couch with you and a warm blanket. Mabel can be a bit awkward at times but she is such a sweet girl. Mabel is crate trained and mostly house trained. She has had professional board and train where she learned some good girl cues; such as place, come, heel amongst others. Her foster mom would be happy to dive deeper into this training with interested adopters. Mabel does have some resource guarding related to food which should be managed if there are other dogs in the home with her. She has improved on the guarding with time and training. Mabel is just looking for a loving home where she can continue to grow and blossom into the brave girl that is hiding within her. Kennel License 16984

Story
Looking for a 1-year-old Staffie with more personality than a board game? Meet Chex, a handsome, medium-energy pup who is looking for his furever home and is ready to win your heart! 🎲❤️ At just one year old, Chex is in that perfect "Goldilocks" phase—not too high-octane, but definitely not a couch potato! He thrives on a mix of active fun and mental challenges. He’s super bright and loves puzzles, learning new tricks, and solving problems (maybe he can help you finally understand your smart-home devices? 🧩💡). Why you’ll love Chex: 🏃‍♂️ Adventure Ready: He’s great for walks and active playtime, making him the perfect partner for daily adventures. 🧠 Brainiac Pup: He loves being mentally stimulated, meaning he is eager to learn and will thrive with training games. 🐶 Total Lovebug: True to the Staffie breed, he’s a loyal, affectionate boy who just wants to be part of the family. 🏡 Ideal Home: He is looking for a loving home where he can get both his walks in and have his brain exercised. If you are looking for a playful, smart, and devoted companion to bring fun (and a few laughs) to your life, Chex is your guy! He’s ready to make beautiful memories Kennel License 16984

Story
Are you looking for a small horse to make your house feel like home? Do you love dogs who stretch to take up the whole couch without knowing how large they are? Birch is the man for you! His legs are a mile long and thoughts are few and far between. He’s a happy go lucky man who loves everyone he meets - dogs and people! Birch absolutely loves learning new things, chewing on stuffies, and spending time with those he loves. He enjoys walks, but would much rather spend his time doing some tricks for treats. He is currently being fostered with toddler and a baby, and is very nice with them, but doesn’t realize his size so knocks them over from time to time. Birch is fully potty trained and crate trained, he loves company but will bark a couple of times to let you know theres someone new in the house. Horse and buggies scare him. Birch does have hip dysplasia but you’d never know it from how he plays! He needs to be on hip and joint supplements for life, and needs a day of rest after a day full of activity so he doesn’t get too sore. Regular walks and exercise are great for him to keep his hips happy and strong! Kennel License 16984
