Story

Meet Dutch! 🐾 Dutch is a 2-year-old little brown terrier with endless joy, a tail that never stops wagging, and a heart full of love. ❤️ He’s been waiting at the rescue for 1.5 years because he’s “too much energy” for some folks—but we think the right person will see exactly what makes him special. Dutch lives for walks, fetch, adventures, and his people. He’s great with other dogs, but cats, chickens, and goats? Hard pass. 😅 He’s not looking to be a couch potato. He wants to be your hiking buddy, adventure partner, and biggest fan. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog who thinks you’re the best thing in the world, Dutch could be your guy. After 1.5 years of waiting, he’s ready for an adventure—and a home that matches his energy. 🐶💙 #AdoptDutch #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #TerrierLove #HikingBuddy #RescueDogs #ForeverHome

Story

Duke wasn’t the kind of dog who ever expected his world to change. He was loyal, steady, and happiest when lying at his owner’s feet, soaking up every gentle pat and quiet moment they shared. But when his owner became very sick, everything shifted. The house grew quieter. The routines faded. And one day, Duke was brought to the shelter — not because he wasn’t loved, but because his person could no longer care for him. At first, Duke didn’t understand. He waited by the kennel door, ears perked every time footsteps passed. He wasn’t sad so much as confused, trying to make sense of a world that suddenly felt too big. But the staff quickly learned something important about Duke: beneath his worried eyes is a heart overflowing with love. He leans into every gentle touch. He wags his tail when someone speaks softly. He watches people with a hopeful spark, as if he’s searching for the next person he’ll give his whole heart to. Duke isn’t starting over because he was unwanted — he’s starting over because someone loved him enough to make sure he’d be safe. Now he’s waiting for a new family who will give him the same devotion he’s always given so freely. And when that family finds him, Duke will be ready — tail wagging, heart open, eager to begin again.

Story

4yr old Flower has made the best of a VERY DIFFERENT living situation from where he was raised. At my small farm he went from being BOSS guardian of his human family and litter mate brother to student, learning how to chase varmints in close proximity safely with the other 7 dogs that fairly loose their minds without prompt. He was requested to co habit, as well w free range chickens, ducks and sheep he learned not to disturb with introductions to the farm cat without drama. He DOES need a fenced yard as his nose leads him and one would want to b aware of Catahoula behavior. True to "Cat" DNA It is his "tough" and "solid" makes him calm, smart no nonsense. He CAN be off leash once there is a bond. Tweaking his TRAINING A MUST as well for the necessary bond! I am seeking a loving family or single willing to MAKE time to KNOW him; exercise and stimulate him but nothing extraordinary. His mix is "soft". Let's talk Flower.

Story

Raven is a sweet sweet boy! He loves everyone and all animals that he’s met so far! He does tricks and is very easily taught new ones. We don’t have the time to give him the activity that he needs and he is young and still can’t roam the house freely because he gets into things ( mostly trash) . We really believe he would be happier with a family that had the time and patience to get him through his young energetic phase! He is a lovey lovey boy who does not know that he weighs 70lbs and will lay on you all day if you let him. ( when he’s not trying to find trash) He loves cats, they DO NOT love him so he ends up with hurt feelings a lot. He wants to best friends with our 5 lb chihuahua who also would rather him not approach him, he persists though he’s determined to be friends. We’ve had him 1 1/2 years and I just don’t think we are doing right by him. I don’t want money, just a good home for this guy.
