Story
Nitro was abandoned in March and was scheduled to be euthanized through our local animal control. But we just couldnt let that happen. Not to such a sweet boy. He is really the best rescue we couldve found. He is house broken, crate trained, great with kids and other dogs. He just needs a family to love. We transport all over the US.

Story
I got my dog from a friend of mine when he was about 7 weeks old. I have four kids who had been asking for a dog for awhile so we thought we would try this one. He is now 18 months old. He has mostly been inside until recently. He has gotten bigger than he was supposed to though so we prefer he not be in the house anymore. He is very active and loves to be outside, however we do not have a fence or any way to confine him. I feel he would make a great hunting dog because he is very fast and smart. We have never trained a dog not do we have time to do it. I think he needs an owner that has the extra time to work with him and has a place to put him outside. I think he would be happier in a place like that.

Story
Loki is an Aussie/Boxer mix. I got him from a family friend whose Aussie had puppies with the neighbor Boxer. Loki is almost a year old and is a very friendly goofball. He is solid white with black and brown markings on his head. He is house/crate trained...never messes in the house at all. And he will let you know when he needs to go out. There is not an ounce of aggression in Loki and he just loves to play and run outside. He is great with our Bernedoodle. He is not much of a guard dog and is a bit of a scaredy cat around unfamiliar people but quickly warms up to them and is super friendly. He is trained to sit and go to his crate. He will be easily trained to do whatever you want & is food-motivated, so treats are a great tool when training. He had his first and second round of shots but due to financial instability and a recent move, I have not been able to get another round of shots just yet. It is due to our recent move that I need to rehome him. He comes with a large crate.

Story
Daddio aka Dad is a male tricolor small scruffy terrier mix. He is 8+ years old and he weighs about 15 pounds. Daddio is recently neutered. He is vaccinated including rabies. Dad is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Dad is ready for adoption. Daddio is Valentine #6 from our group rescued on Valentine’s Day, all pulled from the same overcrowded home. Dad is dog friendly and warms up to people with a few minutes of patience. Some of his initial skepticism we think is protectiveness of his canine family during all the upheaval. This is why we dubbed him Dad and it stuck. But he is very into his person and would make a loyal companion. He is crate trained and has done very well with potty habits. He is not trained to walk on a leash. Dad is seeking an easy going, calmer home. He is active and playful but also slower than the youngsters and appreciates time to kick back. Adoption fee is $200.

Story
Clark is a male silver fluffy mix we believe to be Schnorkie (Schnauzer-Yorkshire Terrier mix) or similar. Clark is around 1 year old and weighs 11 lbs. Clark is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, and on monthly heartworm preventive. Clark is ready for adoption. Clark is the cutest little cuddly fellow. He was owner surrendered due to messy human relationship issues. Clark is in some ways a puppy. He is active and he wants other dogs to play with him and is very spunky at play. When grouchy old dogs don’t want to play Clark tries a bit too hard and he barks at them which doesn’t work as he intends. Clark will play with toys by himself. When he encounters a willing playmate though, it’s on. They have a blast. Clark is very loving and likes a lap and to be carried. He walks decently on a leash. Clark is kennel and potty trained and knows a potty pad, but he’s young enough that a new home should treat him as a puppy for the first few weeks, taking him out often, to give him time to acclimate. Clark is above average smart and could be taught things if someone works with him. Clark has a curved left front foot that is a kind of not uncommon birth defect. It is fine for him to live with. It is not an injury and causes him no pain. The groomers said he has a dreamy versatile face that can be groomed schnauzer style, Yorkie style or teddy bear style. The vet’s office said Clark was the day’s favorite and he got cuddled by everyone. We are looking for a wonderful home for this wonderful boy. Adoption fee is $375.

Story
Mr. Cutie aka Cutie Pie is a male black with white Chihuahua or chihuahua mix puppy. As he grows we are thinking chiweenie. He was born on Valentine’s Day, hence the candy heart name! He weighs about 10.5 pounds (as of 7/24/25), largest of the litter. Cutie Pie is ready for adoption having been neutered and had all four sets of puppy vaccines, rabies vaccine and deworming. Cutie Pie is a puppy of Squirrel, Valentine #1, a sweet face tan Chihuahua about 10 lbs, surrendered to a local shelter on Valentine's Day while giving birth to her puppies…along with 15 other adults, and one other litter, all from the same home. Squirrel is a chihuahua personality, loving but a bit protective, very alert. All the dogs in the home were between 5-18 lbs, chihuahuas, dachshund mixes, and a small scruffy terrier. Among these would be the dad of the puppy. Cutie Pie was the only brother. Now that all his sisters and mom are adopted he’s been in a foster home learning social skills, crate training and potty training. He is figuring it all out pretty well. Cutie is very affectionate with people and loves to play with the other dogs. He is very food driven which should work well for his continued training. Cutie Pie likes his Nylabone and is very fond of a tennis ball. His gallops are the cutest thing. Adoption fee is $200.
