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 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 Tracey! Tracey is a beautiful 1-year-old German Shepherd weighing about 50 pounds. She’s the total package and has been an absolute joy in foster care! This sweet girl is crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on a leash. She has wonderful manners and is eager to please. Like many German Shepherds, Tracey is sensitive, smart, and forms a strong bond with her people. She listens very well and has good recall. Tracey gets along wonderfully with kids, other dogs and dog savvy cats. Her very best friend is her 3-month-old foster "sibling" and it’s so sweet to watch them play together. She adjusts her play style to be incredibly gentle with the puppy, showing just how kind and intuitive she is. Tracey would love a playmate in her new home and/or a moderately active lifestyle.  If you’re looking for an adventure buddy and a loyal companion, Tracey is ready to be by your side. She’s a loving, well-rounded young dog who is ready to find the forever family she’s been waiting for.

Story
🐾✨ Meet Kodiak ✨🐾 If you've always loved Huskies but weren't quite sure about the endless talking, chaos, and mischief that often comes with them, Kodiak might just be your perfect match. At 10 years young, this handsome Siberian Husky brings all the charm, personality, and adventurous spirit of the breed, with the bonus of knowing when it's time to settle down and relax. He's the best of both worlds. Kodiak is a friendly, affectionate boy who loves people and enjoys spending time with other dogs. He'd be thrilled to have a playful canine companion in his forever home, but his favorite thing might just be heading out on an adventure. The moment he realizes he's going for a walk or a car ride, he breaks into an adorable happy prance that never fails to make people smile. This water-loving boy is happiest with his paws wet, whether that's splashing in a kiddie pool, standing in a stream, or finding any excuse to cool off on a warm day. And while he still has plenty of pep in his step and the occasional zoomies, he's also crate trained, well-mannered, and surprisingly quiet for a Husky. Kodiak spent much of his life missing out on the things every dog deserves, but he hasn't let that dampen his spirit. He's embracing every new experience with enthusiasm and is ready to spend the next chapter of his life making memories with a family of his own. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy, a water enthusiast, and a best friend who still has plenty of life left to live, Kodiak is ready to meet you. ❤️

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 💛🐶

Story
Sequoia, affectionately known as Quoia, is a 7-year-old, 40 lb, spayed female Border Collie/Catahoula mix looking for a loving forever home. Quoia is a devoted, affectionate companion who thrives on being close to her person. Whether she's curled up beside you on the couch or joining you on a long hike, she's happiest simply being with the people she loves. She enjoys hiking, long walks, swimming, and exploring, making her a wonderful adventure buddy, but she's just as content spending hours snuggled up at home. She's very well trained, has excellent recall, and is eager to please. Quoia loves making her humans proud and responds well to positive attention and routine. Outside of the home, Quoia greets other dogs in a friendly and respectful manner, but prefers to rule the roost inside her home. Although she lives with another dog currently, she can be protective of food/toys and we feel she would be happiest as an only pet in an adult only home. She can be nervous around certain triggers, such as loud noises and even folding laundry, so she'll do best in a calm environment with patient, understanding adults who can help her feel safe and secure. Quoia's ideal home: One or two adults No children No other pets Country/relaxed setting Someone looking for a loyal, loving best friend Quoia has so much love to give. She's sweet, gentle, incredibly loyal, and deeply devoted to her people. She's looking for someone who will cherish her for the wonderful dog she is and give her the calm, loving home she deserves. If you're searching for a faithful companion to share adventures, quiet evenings, and unconditional love, Quoia could be the perfect match.
