Story
Maisy (blue brindle and white, 30lbs) is a little more independent than her sisters but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love people and attention. She will keep track of her foster while she keeps her eyes and nose looking for trouble.   This litter of 4 girls was born 3-25-23. The daddy is a chihuahua/Dauschund mix and the mother is a big bully breed mix. These puppies are gentle and social, smart, and not going to be large. They have learned to kennel, house training is a work in progress that their new families need to take seriously since these girls are still learning and need patience and help getting it right. Weight listed is from the day pup was spayed on 9-6-23, she will likely not exceed 35-40lbs.

Story
Hoss is a 70lb Catahoula mix born in 2019, we think. Fully vetted, heart worm negative. Playful and loving with lots of enthusiasm. Hoss is treat motivated and been through training with Mark McKibben. Hoss is very active and needs a yard that he can burn off his excess energy.  Small children might get knocked over with Hoss' zest for life. He would not be best with other small animals.

Story
Meet Mimi: The Gentle Soul You’ve Been Waiting For The "Nanny" Dog Status: Adoption Fee Waived! If you are looking for a dog who embodies peace, kindness, and a touch of "old soul" wisdom, meet Mimi. Despite her young age, Mimi isn't your typical high-energy teenager. She is a gentle, laid-back lady who seems to take it upon herself to make sure everyone around her feels safe and loved. Why Mimi is Special: The Ultimate Nanny: Mimi has a natural instinct to care for others. She is incredibly patient and gentle, making her an ideal companion for people of all ages—from the tiniest toddlers to seniors. A Friend to All: Whether it’s other dogs or humans, Mimi greets the world with a wagging tail and a calm heart. She is the definition of "mellow." Easy-Going Lifestyle: While she enjoys a nice stroll, Mimi is happiest when she’s lounging nearby, keeping a watchful and loving eye on her family. Health Note: Mimi is currently Heartworm positive, but don't let that discourage you! She is completely asymptomatic (acting totally healthy and happy) and has already started her treatment. The Best Part: The rescue is committed to Mimi’s journey to full health. They will provide her heartworm treatment at no cost to the adopter until she tests negative. You provide the home and the love; the rescue handles the medicine.
