Story
Meet Davina! 🐾❤️ At just 5 months old, Davina has already overcome so much. This sweet Heeler mix was saved from euthanasia in the nick of time, and while she arrived scared and unsure of the world, she's been making wonderful progress every day. Since settling into foster care, Davina's personality has really started to shine. She absolutely loves kids and is happiest snuggled up beside them on the couch or in bed after a day of playing. She's sweet, gentle, and loves being close to her people, often following them around as she continues building confidence. Davina is still a bit timid in new situations, but she's becoming braver every day. Because of that, she would do best in a home with another confident canine companion who can help show her that the world isn't such a scary place. Like many Heelers, Davina does have some herding instincts. She has shown some herding behavior with cats by crouching low and watching them, though she hasn't tried to chase the calm cats in her foster home. If a cat were to run, she may be tempted to give chase, so a home with dog-savvy cats or no cats may be the best fit. She's almost potty trained, waits to go outside, settles quietly in her crate at night, and has already mastered using a dog door in less than 24 hours. Davina is incredibly smart, eager to learn, and continues to impress her foster family every day. Davina is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, microchipped, and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. She's ready to leave her difficult past behind and find a patient family that will help her continue to blossom into the amazing dog she's meant to be. Could you be the one to show Davina what forever feels like? 💕

Story
Meet Rarity! 💎🐾 Curious, confident, and always ready to see what's around the next corner—that's Rarity! This beautiful girl loves exploring and isn't afraid to investigate new places, people, or experiences. She approaches the world with confidence and curiosity, making every day a new adventure. During her Bark Break, Rarity impressed everyone with how well she behaved. She got along great with another dog, adored spending time with young children, and happily accepted all the love and attention she was given. She's playful, social, and eager to be part of whatever her family is doing. Like any growing puppy, Rarity will thrive with continued training, patience, and plenty of opportunities to learn. If you're looking for an adventurous best friend who's equal parts sweet and curious, Rarity can't wait to meet you. 🐾💕

Story
This girl is brilliant and so very sweet!!! Her pedigree is probably the best I’ve personally seen - over 45 (combined) US & International championship titles in her pedigree (not her personally & I have copies of her pedigree). She’s also AKC registered. She’s a pure European Doberman, never had pups & has not been spayed. She loves kids, other dogs, cats, & loves to cuddle. She’s protective but great with new people when introduced. She’s crate & house trained. Can sit, stay/wait, lay “down”, & eat (waits for the command even with food in front of her). She’s incredibly intelligent & learns boundaries quickly. I’ve had a lot of medical issues over the last 8+mos & so her shots haven’t been updated. Now we’re moving & can’t take her with us. She’s a great dog & needs/deserves a good loving home. Please help.

Story
Sky is a 2 year old, active, red heeler mix. She is housetrained on bare floor and we’re working on carpet. Outside she potties on command. She’s cratetrained for meals and at night. Sky loves to run, walks in a harness, will fetch for hours, and when worn out, she appreciates a good snuggle. She loves treat puzzles and peanut butter in a kong. She knows sit, lie down, and high five. Sky loves our 9 and 11 yo kids. She is noise sensitive, needs positive reinforcement over scolding and a secure yard with a tall fence. She loves car rides and even rode a paddle board and liked to play in the water by the shore. We’re rehoming her because she’s not a good fit with our smallest dog, resulting in a bite to the other. We feel she would do best where she can be an only dog or possibly a 2nd dog with a large friend that she can’t dominate. We love her and are saddened to lose her. We are eager to find a home that will be a perfect fit. She deserves it.Comes with crate, bowl, harness, toys.

Story
Meet Smokey 🐾 Smokey has come a long way since the day we met him at the shelter. When he first arrived, he was completely shut down and overwhelmed by the world around him. Since then, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate, goofy boy who loves being part of the action. He LOVES attention, playtime, and spending time with his people. Whether he's chasing toys, playing tug, or simply hanging out by your side, Smokey is happiest when he gets to be part of whatever you're doing. And yes... those blue eyes are just as stunning in person. Smokey already knows quite a bit—sit, shake, kennel, leave it, and drop it. He's done well with house training and is comfortable in a crate, though he may occasionally offer his opinion about being in there when he'd rather be hanging out with you. He's comfortable being handled, enjoys being brushed, and never says no to a little extra affection. Like any dog, Smokey still has a few things he's working on: • Can get mouthy during play when he's excited • Gets enthusiastic at doors and may try to rush out • Is still polishing up his leash manners Smokey forms strong bonds with his people and loves being the center of attention. While he has had positive interactions with some dogs, he has struggled sharing his home and attention with other dogs long-term. Because of that, we believe he would be happiest as the only pet in the home. The best thing about Smokey? He genuinely wants to be with his people. He's affectionate, loyal, eager to learn, and ready to find a family of his own. If you're looking for a dog who wants to be your sidekick, your adventure buddy, and your biggest fan, Smokey may be your guy. 💙
