Story
Cece (aka Ghost) is a 3-year-old, 40 lb, spayed Husky/Aussie/Great Pyrenees mix (best guess!) with a BIG personality and an even bigger hop, seriously, this girl can jump! If you’ve ever wanted a dog who would crush it at agility (or just impress your friends in the backyard), Cece is your athlete. She’s the perfect blend of spunky and sweet: active and adventurous outside, but calm and well-mannered in the house. Cece is crate trained, house trained, and eager to learn, making her an awesome match for someone excited to keep building her skills. She’d love an adopter who enjoys staying active, hiking, walking, and even skiing are right up her alley! Cece is also non-destructive and wants to be a good girl… but fair warning: she does like to jump, so she may not be the best fit for a home with very small children. With a little continued training and structure, she’ll shine even brighter. Cece is likely a double merle, which gives her some unique genetic differences, and honestly, makes her even more special. If you look into her cloudy blue eyes, they’re like tiny galaxies staring back at you. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, snow-adoring adventure buddy with tons of potential and a magical look, Cece might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Winter ❄️ Winter is a stunning 3-year-old spayed pit bull mix searching for her everlasting home. After being surrendered with her litter of puppies, she has blossomed into an incredibly loving and well-rounded dog who is finally ready to enjoy life just for herself. Her soulful yellow-brown eyes are impossible to resist—they have a way of pulling you right in and never letting go. But it’s not just her looks that make her special—Winter has a truly gentle, sweet nature that makes her a joy to be around. She does great with other dogs and absolutely loves to play, making her a wonderful companion for both humans and canine friends alike. Winter is also crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on leash, so she’s more than ready to settle into a home of her own. Now that her days of raising puppies are behind her, Winter is ready to embrace the life she deserves—filled with love, comfort, and companionship. If you’re ready to give this incredible girl the forever home she’s been waiting for, please fill out an adoption application at: www.pottersangelsrescue.org

🐾 DOLLY 🐾 Meet your new sidekick, Dolly 💕 At just 10 weeks old and 13 pounds, this pittie mix girl is packed with love and ready to share it. Dolly is as sweet as they come, with a serious talent for snuggling. Her favorite place to be? Right next to her people, preferably curled up and snoozing the night away. Dolly is the perfect mix of curious and cautious. She likes to take in the world at her own pace, but with a little encouragement, she’s ready to jump into new adventures. She would thrive in a home with another dog to help build her confidence and show her the ropes. She’s doing wonderfully in her foster home with both dogs and cats, showing great respect for boundaries and quickly learning her routine and basic manners. Dolly is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and will need additional vaccines as she grows. If you’re ready for a loyal little shadow and endless snuggles, Dolly is ready for you 🐾 Apply today at www.pottersangelsrescue.org

Story
🐾 Meet Teddy 🐾 This 15-month-old neutered male Bullmastiff mix is 60 pounds of pure sweetness wrapped in a bulldozer body — and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way. Teddy came to us as a big, lovable goofball who just needs the right home to help him grow into the gentleman he's already becoming. He's affectionate, social, and the kind of dog who makes friends everywhere he goes — ask the staff at Tractor Supply, they'll vouch for him. Here's what you need to know about this guy: 🌿 Outdoorsy soul — loves a good car ride and has a deep personal relationship with sticks (RIP, every stick he's ever met) 🐕 Good with dogs — he's friendly and enthusiastic, just learning his manners. Does best with a confident, calm doggo to help set the vibe 🏠 Crate trained and mostly house trained ❤️ Incredibly food motivated — training is absolutely within reach 🚗 One project area: he gets reactive around cars, but with basic training this is very manageable Teddy does best in a home with older kids or no kids, no cats or farm animals, and ideally one or two other dogs to keep him company. A patient family who enjoys an enthusiastic, velcro dog with a goofy personality will absolutely adore him. He left his assessment totally tuckered out and completely won over every person he met. That's just Teddy. 🐾 Interested in adopting? apply here 👉🏻 www.pottersangelsrescue.org
