Story
Jolene has been patiently waiting for someone to open their heart to give her a home. Jolene is know as the hugger when she goes to adoption events. She is so excited to see new people she just wants to hug you and would crawl up in your lap if you would let her. She loves running with her ball or just sitting on the hill watching me. She sometimes gets nervous when meeting other dogs, usually bigger ones, she loves to play and she loves puppies she has been so good with new puppies I foster. As all her siblings she loves the water, small pool and went wading in the creek on a walk with a new doggy friend the other day. Jolene is a little unsure of a car.. but she rides well .. getting to know good thing do happen when you go for a ride. Jolene is a good girl … she just needs someone to give her a chance. Jolene’s vaccinations are current for her age, she has been spayed, wormed, microchipped and is on flea and tick prevention.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Caleb is amazing with my pups and loves to play.  He sleeps on the floor with my newest pup, almost as a protector.  After only a few walks, Caleb is getting so much better at relaxing and enjoying the walk without pulling the whole time.  He's much better in a kennel (used when we leave the house), and only barks for a few minutes before he quiets down.  Caleb really loves to be near a human to give and receive love.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 19, 2026, 12:21 am

Story
Sadie is a sweet, energetic coonhound turning 2 this August. She’s full of love with a big personality and enjoys attention, playtime, and being around people. Like many hounds, she has a strong nose and loves to explore. Sadie is loyal, affectionate, and bonds closely with her family. She’s smart but can be stubborn and determined. She would do best with an active owner or family who can provide plenty of exercise, play, and patience. A home with space to run and someone familiar with—or willing to learn about—hound breeds would be ideal. With the right home, Sadie will be a fun, loving companion.Sadie is crate trained and won’t have accidents in her crate, but may have one indoors if she gets overly excited outside of it.She is up to date on all vaccines, including rabies through 4/24/26.Sadie is being rehomed, due to our upcoming move. It truly breaks my heart to let her go, but I know this is what’s best for her so she can have the space and life she deserves.
