Story
✨ Meet Cooper! ✨ Cooper is a 2-year-old shepherd/malinois mix with tons of smarts, energy, and love to give! He’s happiest when he has a job to do, space to run, and someone who enjoys an active lifestyle. He’s a quick learner, housetrained, loves fetch and Nylabones, and does well in a secure crate. Cooper bonds deeply with his person and would thrive with someone who can take him along for daily adventures. He’s great with younger pups but unsure around larger, dominant dogs, and he’d do best in an experienced, adult-only home that understands high-drive breeds. At the end of the day, this energetic guy loves to snuggle up and relax with his favorite human. 😴💛

Story
Lizzie is a lively 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with the joyful energy of a puppy. She loves the outdoors and especially enjoys running freely in a fenced yard. Lizzie walks well on a leash, rides happily in the car, and adores playing with her toys. She’s smart, eager to please, and sits politely for treats. This sweet girl isn’t a picky eater, sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, and is both microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives. Lizzie still has some playful puppy traits and needs plenty of exercise and continued training to help her grow into her best self. She would thrive with an active family who can match her energy, give her room to run, and provide the structure she needs to blossom into a calmer, well-mannered companion. Lizzie is full of love and potential — she just needs the right forever home to bring out the best in her.

Story
Barbie is a tender-hearted, deeply loving pup who forms strong bonds once she feels safe and secure. She will love her person with her whole heart, but she needs time and patience to open up in a new environment. Barbie does best with consistency, calm guidance, and a home that understands she is sensitive and still learning to trust. This sweet girl has had a rough start to life and it appears she lived out doors. Barbi e came into rescue when she needed surgery due to trouble giving birth to her puppies.  Barbie does experience separation anxiety, so she will thrive in a home where someone works from home or is not gone for long hours. When her person is away, she will need appropriate outlets such as Nylabones, Kongs, and enrichment or puzzle toys to help her stay calm and occupied. Metal feeding bowls will be a must and a predictable routine and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping her continue to build confidence. She tends to prefer women and appears fearful of men; however, this is likely due to very limited exposure rather than true intolerance. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this may improve. Barbie would do best in a home without small children, as she can be rough and rowdy when excited and may not always realize her own strength. Barbie has a high prey drive and should not live with cats. She may also not be a good fit for homes with small dogs, as she showed a bit too much interest in a smaller dog in her foster home. She has, however, done well around pot-bellied pigs, showing that she can coexist successfully with the right animal companions. Barbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped and is working on both crate training and potty training.She is not a “one-size-fits-all” dog, but for the right adopter—someone patient, understanding, and ready to provide a stable, loving home—Barbie will be an incredibly devoted and rewarding companion. ##2642993##

Story
Tansy is a joyful, high-energy girl who truly loves life and brings enthusiasm into everything she does. She is playful, spirited, and always ready to be part of the action, especially when other dogs are getting attention. If she feels left out, she can be a bit vocal—treating you to some very cute howls and barks—but she settles down quickly once she’s reassured. When held, Tansy melts right into cuddle mode and enjoys being close to her people. Like many young, energetic pups, Tansy is still learning the difference between what is appropriate to chew on and what is not, so she will benefit from continued supervision, consistency, and plenty of appropriate chew toys. She is doing well with both crate training and potty training and is showing great progress as she learns household routines. Tansy has been around a small dog and cats and has done well with both. She could live in a home with small children but would need close supervision as she continues learning good chewing habits and appropriate play. With her loving nature, cuddly side, and zest for life, Tansy will thrive in an active home that’s ready to guide her energy and enjoy her affectionate, fun-loving personality. ##2643200##
