Story
✨ Meet Rico ✨ Rico is a sweet, sensitive little guy who’s still figuring out that the world isn’t such a scary place. He’s estimated to have been born 2/27/2022, weighs around 20 pounds, and we believe he may be a Jack Russell / Weimaraner mix. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, potty trained, and very well-mannered in the house. Rico would do best in a home with older kids and a calmer environment. He’s a bit of a “one-person kind of dog” and truly bonds deeply once he chooses his human. Right now, he has a strong attachment to men and would likely thrive as a man’s dog. When his person is around, he wants to be right by their side — cuddling, sleeping next to them, and soaking up all the love. Inside the home, Rico is quiet, respectful, and easy to live with. Outside is another story — he’s still very unsure and fearful when outdoors and tends to bark and rush back to the door. With patience, routine, and reassurance, he should continue to gain confidence, but a securely fenced yard or a calm outdoor setup would be ideal. Rico is great with cats and doesn’t bother them at all. He has been gentle with kids and allows pets without issues, though he does try to keep to himself and may hide when overwhelmed. He’s not aggressive — just timid and cautious, and he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. 💙 Rico isn’t the kind of dog who will love everyone instantly — but when he chooses you, he chooses you completely. He’s loyal, cuddly, and deeply devoted once he feels safe. He’s the kind of dog who will curl up next to you at night and quietly become your shadow. If you’re a patient, calm person — especially a man looking for a loyal companion — Rico just might be your perfect match. He’s a diamond in the rough, waiting for the right person to see how special he truly is. 🐶 Rico is ready for a forever home that understands him and gives him the time he needs to shine. 🐾

Story
Blue is a 7 year old Jack Russell Cattle Dog mix. He came into rescue after his family was expanding and expecting twins. They did not feel they could care for the dogs any longer and were looking to euthanasia. We were contacted to take the dogs. We stepped in and got them into a foster home. Blue is now settled into his foster home. Blue is good with other dog sand kids. We are uncertain about cats. He is a pretty chill boy. He enjoys his cuddle time. Blue is neutered, up to date on vaccines, rabies, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He has been given a proheart 12 injection, so he is good on prevention for the next year. He would do best with a fenced in yard. This boy is looking for his retirement home. He is housebroken and crate trained. His adoption fee is $200 ##2520576##
