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

Story
🐾✨ Meet Missy (aka Miss Maizie) ✨🐾 Missy is a 2-year-old spayed female who we believe is a Lab/Border Collie mix—and 100% sweetheart. 💕 This girl is all about the soft life… couch cuddles, cozy blankets, and being as close to her people as possible. She’s the kind of dog who just melts into you and makes you wonder how you ever lived without her. Missy is still discovering how to “dog,” but she’s doing it beautifully. She’s incredibly well-mannered—crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s been nothing but gentle and loving with every person she’s met so far. She does well with other dogs (she’s currently living with one!) but would likely do best in a home without cats—unless they’re very dog-savvy. Missy is truly something special… the kind of easy, loving companion that just fits right into your life. 💛 ✨ If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy and a wonderful family dog, Missy might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Dixie & Talia – a bonded pair! Dixie is a 12-year-old Chihuahua (nicknamed Piglet) who loves dog beds, plays hard, then naps hard. She’s mostly pad-trained, does well with a fenced yard, and takes Carprofen for mild arthritis but stays active. Together, these two are sweet, funny, and great with dogs, cats, and even poultry. They’d thrive in a home with a fenced yard to play and then snuggle. They come with beds, crate, toys, chews, meds, records, leashes, and collars. Adoption fee for the pair is $500.

Story
Meet Stock 🐾 Stock is a 2-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix, about 50 lbs, and truly an all-around great dog. He’s incredibly sweet, gentle, and loving, and he does amazing with kids and other dogs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He’s smart, eager to please, and already potty trained and crate trained. Stock is a happy, go-with-the-flow kind of dog who just wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. He does have higher energy, so he’ll do best in an active home that can give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation—but when his needs are met, he’s an absolute dream. He’s just a really special, happy dog who’s ready to find his people.

Story
Meet Chaco-latte ☕🐾 This beautiful chocolate-colored girl is about 1 year old and around 30 pounds, though she could use a few extra pounds (she’s very on board with that plan 😋). She's listed as a Lab/Pit mix, and with her petite build, she's as dainty as they come-but don't let that fool you, she's got personality to spare. Chaco-latte is crate trained (with a brief “I’d like to speak to management” moment at first), and she’s working on her potty training like a champ. She’s great with dogs of all sizes, does well with cats and kids, and is always happy to meet new people and take on new experiences. She’s the best of both worlds—down for an adventure when you are, but just as content soaking up the sun like it’s her full-time job. And weather preferences? Sunshine and warmth: 10/10. Rain, cold, or cloudy skies: she’ll go outside… but expect a strongly worded opinion about it 😂 Leash skills are still a work in progress, but she’s very food motivated—which makes training both fun and effective (snacks = success). If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing girl with a playful streak, a love for sunny days, and just enough personality to keep you smiling, Chaco-latte might be your perfect match 💛🐶
