Hickory has been in the rescue for 2 yrs now. He and his siblings were rescued when they were just 10 wks old, found dumped in a neighborhoodvand starving. . Hickory is the most outgoing of them. A DNA test was done on his sibling and it came back 16 different breeds. He's a true super mutt. He will require a 6ft privacy fence as he can jump a 4 ft chainlink fence and climb a 6 ft + chainlink. He is crate trained and house broken on a schedule. He does play with other dogs in his foster home, but will need proper introduction to new dogs. He has not been cat tested. His adoption fee is $200. Approved application, meet and greet and home visit required prior to placement. His brother is Wally and they are currently being fostered together. We also have a video of him playing with a goat.

Story
We rescued Finley in October of 2024.He is the sweetest dog anyone could ask for. So smart and full of energy! We’ve been struggling with rehoming him because we love him so much but sadly we’ve delayed this long enough.Our lives are really busy and we hoped that we would be able to make it work. With us traveling constantly and the increased cost of boarding him along with vet visits have left us no other choice.Finley will be a great addition to anyone’s family.

Story
He’s really a sweet dog.. loves to his fullest potential but is just unfit for our home. Chase is easy to bathe, LOVES cuddles, lets you cut his nails, good with kids, very playful, gets along with other dogs, and LOVES walks and is potty trained. Chase is super scared of all men and new people entering the household. It took days getting him used to us (mom, daughter, and son) and you can see from his past that he might have had some pretty deep trauma. But he is truly a lovable dog. With moving soon and enlisting the house for sale, we are unable to keep him for the sake of this household. With proper love, care and treatment, this dog would love a new household to comfort him. He had severe anxiety and tends with rip out his hair from his side and bark when the father of the household enters a room.We are saddened to make the decision to let him go but for the benefit of our family and for him. To help him find a better family for this precious baby..💔
