Story
Bacon is a 6 yr old 22 lb Jrt  that came from a hoarding situation. He and his siblings were very scared and unsure of what was in store for them. Bacon is thought to be deaf. Consider giving this handsome guy a loving and understanding place to live out his days and enjoy the rest of his life. He is still learning to trust people so isn't a lap dog or cuddler. It will take time to build a relationship. Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.The application is the first step.

Story
URGENT: Foster or adopter Needed!! My heart is heavy writing this. Johnny and Tommy need a foster home this weekend if at all possible.These sweet boys are 11-year-old full brothers, small at just 15–20 pounds, and they have never spent a single day apart. They’ve been together their entire lives, and keeping them together is incredibly important.Since they were puppies (around 6–8 months old), they’ve lived on a farm where they’ve truly been the guardians of the land—an alarm system for anything that drives onto the property. They’ve peacefully lived alongside other dogs, goats, horses, donkeys, and pigs. They’re used to being outdoors most of the time and were brought inside during bad weather. They are not house trained, but they are smart, food-motivated, and eager to please.They love treats and warm up quickly to people who come bearing snacks.Johnny’s past hasn’t been easy. He was kicked by a previous owner wearing boots, so he can be skittish—especially around boots—and has some anxiety with crates and car rides. Despite that, he has so much love to give once he feels safe.Tommy is the more outgoing of the two. He’s friendly and affectionate, though he also experiences some anxiety with crates and car rides—just not quite as intensely as his brother.They’ve been fed pedigree kibble and have known a simple, consistent life together.These boys don’t understand why things are changing. They only know each other. They deserve a soft place to land, comfort, patience, and to stay together in their golden years.If you can foster—or know someone who can, please reach out. Giving Johnny and Tommy a home right now would mean everything to them… and to all of us trying to help them.
