Story
Sweet, energetic, Jupiter is ready for adoption. She is a special needs girl who will need continued medical care. When she came to the rescue she had virtually no hair due to Demodex Mange, Heart worm positive, and a severe eye infection caused by Entropion (which is when the eyelids roll inward and the eye lashes are constantly rubbing the eye). She has been treated for mange, been spayed, and has had multiple surgeries to fix her eyes. We do not know if her hair will ever fully come back. She is receiving treatment for heart worms. She will need to continued treatment with eye medication due to now having dry eye. We have also discovered that she suffers from allergies. This will require continued allergy injections, RX food, and regular vet visits for skin issues. We know its a lot, but we simply can't give up on her. She does well with some dogs,, but would love to be spoiled and live her life as an only pet. She does great with the 3yr old in her foster home.

Story
This is Winter. We saved her from the pound as a puppy 5 years ago. At the time of adoption she had issues with her vision. We believe she is completely blind at this point which we believe is what causes most of the issues. She gets along with some dogs but we had another dog and they were together for two years then one day they got into a fight and they were no longer able to be around each other. We were able to keep them separated and all was calm. We now have two kids and one is mobile. Winter has gotten use to him at this point but she still shows signs that she could snap during some interaction's. We just don’t want to leave it up for chance because she is such a loving dog to my spouse and I and we want her to be able to live without all the stressors. We are looking for a home with no kids or other dogs so that she can be the main focus and get all the love that she deserves.

Story
(Maeve has a scheduled appointment to be spayed 12/31/25) Maeve will be 4 years old this coming February! Born on February 19, 2022. She has been raised with another adult doodle who is older than her. She does well with big dogs. She LOVES an ultra orange and blue ball. She will play fetch all day long. She loves to cuddle. She is extremely trainable but high energy if you do not play with her each day. She knows 15+ commands and tricks. Fully house trained. She is being rehomed due to jealousy and territorialism over me (owner). I am pregnant and do not think she will take well to a small newborn. She needs a high energy home.

Story
We bought Harley off of Craigslist in 2020 for my Husband as an emotional support animal while he was quarantined at University. She was a great friend during that time, she is very kind and energetic. After two kids my postpartum has caused me to want space when inside my home and Harley loves a good cuddle. Harley has been around outside animals and is not aggressive towards anything, however, she will alert you to anyone nearing the house by a loud bark but that is it. She is submissive dog who deserves someone’s attention that I cannot give her anymore. My kids are getting my all and it’s not fair to Harley to be left behind.

Story
We love Oliver, he is a wonderful dog who has lived with us since he was born. He was bred on a border collie farm in Wisconsin, a place known for its trained agility dogs. Oliver himself is a bit more tame and loves to play. He enjoys walks, car rides, playing fetch, and doing tricks for treats. He has lived with other dogs in his lifetime, a German Shepherd and a Dachshund. He enjoys playing with kids especially outside. He is mainly a very quiet dog, but has always barked to alert when someone comes home - excited/happy bark. He does sometimes jump to hug us, but knows quite a few commands like sit, lay, drop, and come. Unfortunately our family has gone a divorce and are splitting. We want to make sure he has a happy place to go and run around for his senior years/retirement.
