Story
This little one really needs someone with the patience to allow her to become comfortable with the person and the environment.  She's been thru some scary things apparently,,, and needs to learn she is truly safe and will be staying in the same place with the same people. She's very timid and while she might be afraid,, she never shows any tendency to growl or be the least bit aggressive.  She's estimated to be abut 3-4 years old. She came in with another dog and if you're inclined to want two,,, I'm sure they'd think that  was wonderful!November 19, 2025, 4:41 pm

Story
This little fella has a bundle of energy and loves, loves, loves attention.... and food!! He came in with a little female and they look enough alike to make one wonder about their relationship to each other.  After vetting and getting somewhat settled and enjoying improved diets, they are both ready to be adopted,,,, together would be grand,,,, or separately......  If you want to add an addition (or  two) to your family,,, let us know,, we'll be happy to send you an application.    November 19, 2025, 4:41 pm

Story
Markie is a cute little guy with a big attitude and seems to love everyone.  He came in with several other small dogs and seems to have had a rough time recently based on hair condition etc,,, but whatever happened it didn't adversely affect his attitude toward humans or other small dogs.  he's a happy go lucky little fella.  He had the energy of a youngster but our vet thinks he's likely about 10 years old None of  this group is the least bit interested in sitting quietly for photos,,, so you'll have to excuse the poor results of our recent photo shoot.  March 17, 2025, 12:45 pm

Story
,,,, Molly is the typical cream or light blond Peke.  Her coat looked like she's had it rough for awhile, but that has improved with time and good food.  And she loves food.   She's a real sweet girl who came to us blind and after checking with our vet, it was determined that while she had no vision, her eyes weren't bothering her at all, so we just left well enough alone. She adapts well to new surroundings and has been remarkable in her ability to wander around amongst other small dogs and just find her way without any problem.  Blindness is totally different for dogs than we humans think it would be,,,, vision isn't the sense they depend on most... She has developed a heighten sense of smell I guess,,, and can notice a hot dog treat at quite a distance! December 14, 2024, 11:36 am

Story
Sharing my life with a pet is more time consuming than I realized. Oakley is a good dog. He is 3 years old. He was found wandering with his brother and taken to the shelter. He has made great progress from the frightened timid dog he was when he came home with me 10 months ago. He learns quickly and is motivated by praise and affection, not treats. He is 100% house and crate trained. Oakley warms up to other dogs and people with a little time. Good alarm bark but shys away from contact. Not aggressive at all. He likes to by under cover; his crate, a table, or a corner to feel safe. He likes to be left alone when he eats. I believe Oakley will do best with a single adult or couple. I have not seen him around young kids. Oakley enjoys daily play with me, walks in the woods, riding in the car, laying in the sunshine, and playing with doggie friends. He comes with 2XLRG crates, 1 folding travel crate, 1 mesh platform, 1XLRG pillow bed for winter, dishes/leashes/brushes. DNA test on hand.
