Story
Introducing Mowgli! Mowgli’s owner passed away and his elderly foster parent can no longer keep him. Mowgli adores humans of all ages and can get a bit excited on walks, but he’s full of love and listens well. This six-year-old pitbull mix, adopted at six months, has blossomed into a loyal companion. He thrives on human connection, but also values his alone time. As a potty-trained, loyal friend, he responds to basic commands, and his calm demeanor makes him a perfect addition to any family. With his shots up to date and already being fixed, Mowgli is ready for his next adventure. Mowgli loves cuddles, walks, tug of war, treats, pets, sleeping, and his people. Mowgli would be best in a home with no cats as he wants to chase them.

Story
Her name is Pickle! Such a sweet beefcake. Loves kids and other dogs. She does lunge at cats. House trained and good recall, knows a few commands (sit, wait, ok). She really is just a lovebug. However she does need a home with more time to give, shed love one with kids. Shes met several babies and toddlers and loves them climbing all over her. We want her to go to a good home with kids and a yard. She gets along great with our older dog, but theyre not really interested in playing with her as much as shed like. Pickle turns 3 on November 4. Up to date on all shots/flea treatments, is spayed.

Story
Ponyo is an 8-year-old purebred chihuahua that I rescued from an old-school breeder who had planned to euthanize him simply for not meeting breed standards. He's only about 5lbs, has a sweet cleft nose, and is still intact. He adores butt scratches, baby talk, and going for walks. He cannot be left outside unattended due to his size (he's bird prey), and he isn't safe in a home with cats that have a strong prey drive. I love Ponyo with every fiber of my being. This decision isn't coming from a place of convenience it's coming from heartbreak. But I had to accept that working 10+ hour shifts and living in a house with cats who actively target him has created an environment that's unsafe and unfair to him. He deserves so much more than what I can offer him right now. Ponyo thrives with other small dogs or as an only pet. My dream would be for him to go to a calm, loving home & maybe with a retired or elderly person who has time to dote on him the way he deserves.

Story
Wubbzy was rescued from a situation where he was tied in a trashed yard. Despite this he is very sweet and a big cuddler. In the 3 months of getting to know him he’s never growled or snapped. He’s a high energy dog who would benefit from having another dog to play with or regular walks. Unfortunately, we have an unfixed female chihuahua in the family, so we need to rehome.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.  Emmie came to us about ready to have babies.  She was living with someone in a van for 5 months before we took her in.  With a ton of heartache, and several ER visits, none of her 14 huge babies survived.  They had a great dane daddy. We knew she was thin but once all the babies were out of her, we discovered that she was completely emaciated!  It's now time for Emmie to be someone's beloved girl for the rest of her life!  She is affectionate, lovable, good energy, loves to play fetch! She's quiet and easy in a crate while in foster care.   Here's the biggie, she cannot eat any kibble at all, nor does she drink water.  We do not know why.  We originally fed her forms of raw diet (dehydrated, frozen etc) but have her on canned food and she's doing great.  When we tried to add the smallest amount of kibble to these diets, she got screaming diarrhea, so we quit trying to introduce it.  She gets 2 cans of Natures Domain dog food a day now and is the perfect picture of health.  We understand that she's always been an only pet so we want that for her future.   As far as her dog social skills, she's been unreactive to any dogs on the other side of a fence, crate on a walk.  We were told she's better with males than females Her new family must be homeowners with a securely fenced yard, no exceptions.   Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 30, 2024, 4:22 pm
