Chillee is sweet, ten year old chihuahua. She loves to play and be silly, but is very anxious due to living in a household with someone with PTSD and bipolar disorder. She barks and licks to self soothe. She comes from a home with cats and dogs and is good with both. I just want her to be in a home where she can relax. She’s is not utd on vaccinations and needs her teeth cleaned. She just needs a person who will love her and make her feel safe.

Story

Meet Councilman Jamm (CJ) ♥️🐾 CJ is quite literally the sweetest man in town. Many of you will remember him—he was with us for quite a while before finally finding his home. Sadly, CJ is being returned through no fault of his own. He struggles with thunderstorms and his family realized they weren’t the right fit to help him work through those fears. CJ’s story is a hard one to swallow. He originally came to the shelter after being saved from a hoarding/neglect case where 36 dogs were rescued from unthinkable conditions. Because of the ongoing court case, CJ had to remain at the shelter for several weeks. During that time, he put on much-needed weight and finally received the medical care he had been lacking his entire life. Many of you may remember seeing him on our stories—shaking and vibrating in his kennel from sheer fear of simply existing there. When he was finally released, we were able to pull this sweet land hippo to safety, and we promised him that his best days were still ahead. Despite all he’s been through, CJ holds nothing of his past against him. He can be a little nervous in new settings, but once he feels safe, his whole personality shines—his tail starts wagging, and he begs for pets with the sweetest smile. CJ is wonderful with other dogs, loves kids, and is the biggest cuddle bug you’ll ever meet. While he may need some patience and understanding in stormy weather, he is otherwise the perfect gentleman—gentle, loyal, and full of love to give. CJ is fully vetted and ready once again to find his true forever family. Could it be you?!♥️🥰 Apply foster or adopt at: https://dustytailsanimalrescue.org/...

Story

Meet Zeke — our gorgeous, two-year-old Shepherd/Aussie mix who has been patiently waiting for his forever family. 🖤✨ Zeke came to us from our rural shelter partner several weeks ago, and since then he has truly thrived in his foster home. This boy is incredibly smart, eager to learn, and has that classic working-breed heart that wants nothing more than to bond with his people and make them proud. Zeke is fully crate trained, does wonderfully with all people, and is absolutely obsessed with other dogs. He greets every new pup with a wagging tail and an open heart, and he gains so much confidence from being around dog friends. While he can get a little anxious in brand-new environments, once he has a moment to take it all in, he settles beautifully and becomes the sweetest, happiest guy in the room. And yet… he keeps getting overlooked. Like so many black-coated dogs, Zeke is a victim of Black Dog Syndrome, where dogs with darker fur are often passed by simply because of their color. It breaks our hearts, because Zeke is pure sunshine on the inside — gentle, affectionate, goofy, and endlessly loyal. He has been one of our longer-term dogs, and we cannot understand why. He is the full package: smart, loving, trainable, great with dogs and people, and ready to be someone’s adventure buddy and best friend. Zeke is so deserving of a family who will finally see him for the incredible dog he is. If you’ve been looking for a loyal, devoted companion to brighten your days, this sweet boy is waiting with his whole heart. 🐾💛 #adopt #adoptdontshop #rescue #rescuedog #rescuedoglove

Story

Sometimes rescue brings the biggest surprises… and this litter is the perfect example. 🐶✨ Meet Oopsy, Plot, Twist, Surprise, and Lucky — five one-month-old Chihuahua mix puppies who arrived in the most unexpected way. Their mama, Mabel, weighs barely 20 pounds and came to us with absolutely no signs that she was pregnant. Then one day, completely out of the blue, she delivered a surprise litter of puppies right in her own mama’s bed. It was truly an “oops” moment none of us saw coming — but one we never could have planned for and are so grateful turned out safely. Mabel has been an incredible mom. She’s nurtured these babies, kept them warm, and given them the best possible start in life. As the puppies grow, she’s slowly letting us know she’s ready to retire from mom duties — and honestly, we can’t blame her. 💛 The puppies are absolutely thriving. Happy, healthy, playful, and incredibly well-socialized, they love people and are already showing the sweet, loving personalities that will make them amazing additions to their future families. They’ve been raised with care, structure, and love, setting them up for success from the very beginning. ✨ Why spaying and neutering matters: Mabel’s story is a perfect example of how quickly and unexpectedly puppies can be added to the world — even when no one realizes a dog is pregnant. Right now, our state is facing a serious lack of accessible veterinary services, with long waitlists and limited availability for spay and neuter appointments. This makes preventing unplanned litters harder than ever, while shelters and rescues continue to overflow. Spaying and neutering is one of the most important ways we can help reduce pet overpopulation, ease the strain on shelters, and ensure fewer dogs are born without guaranteed homes. Every prevented litter means more resources, time, and care for the animals already here and waiting. Oopsy, Plot, Twist, Surprise, and Lucky will be ready to head to their forever homes in about four weeks. They’re expected to stay on the smaller side, just like Mama Mabel, and will make wonderful little companions for the right families. From an unexpected beginning to a future full of promise, this litter is a reminder that responsible pet ownership truly saves lives. 🖤🐾
