Story
Toby is a special boy looking for a forever person. He's 4.5 years old and 65 lbs, fully house/crate trained, loves walks and going on car rides. He was owned by an older couple who unfortunately had to go to assisted living so they surrendered him. He lived with an older husky in his previous home but doesn't love most other animals in his space. He does well meeting new people one on one and when he trusts you he will be the best protector and loves to give kisses. He would do best with someone who has a calmer lifestyle and wants a buddy to follow them around and watch out for them. He's had a couple different homes now so would love to have a true forever place of his own! If interested in meeting this dude, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Rowena is an 11 year old lab mix (we did a DNA test and it came back lab/chow/golden retriever/pointer and several others) - about 60 lbs. She is house/kennel trained, and definitely wants to learn how to dog! She was found in 2019 living in a wood pile in Oklahoma protecting her puppies, so has some trauma there that needs worked through and a dedicated adopter will do so much for her. She needs a very structured living environment and a strong dog-savvy owner. She loves to be outside so would enjoy a nice physically fenced yard (no invisible fencing with her history, sorry). Privacy fencing will be preferred as she guards her territory. She will not do well in an apartment setting since she has a fear of strangers and needs muzzled on walks in strange places. She has been through heartworm treatment and will require an adopter who will keep her on preventatives and regular testing. She does well with dogs as long as they aren't tiny/can't be mistaken for squirrels or rabbits. She chases cats. She is food protective with other dogs, so will need to be fed separate / in kennel as a precaution. Once she is comfortable with you, she likes to snuggle and give kisses and hugs -- but it may take a few weeks for her to warm up fully. No kids for Roe -- fast movements and small creatures with her don't mix. Her adoption fee is $150. If you have an easy-going and patient lifestyle that will give this girl the structure she needs and are interested in meeting Rowena, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org and we will set up a meet with you!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.

Story
These two girls are actively looking for a forever or foster home because unfortunately their owner suddenly passed away. Harper & Lilly are both a little over 7 years old lab mixes.From 4 Paws Unleashed, where the girls currently reside-🏡I have personally taken these girls home for a week and they are both super easy going dogs. Fully potty trained, they were walked on leash their entire life for potty breaks so they are use to doing their business and coming back inside. I have a fenced in yard and they also did great with that. I have 2 boys (9 & 6) who are loud and entergetic. The girls did great with them. I also own 2 black labs who are young, wild and super playful. Both girls slept a lot but also played with my dogs when they were in the mood to. In an attempted adoptive home, the dogs did not get along with the resident dogs. It may be best for them to go to a home as only dogs. They do bark when someone first arrives at the house but settle quickly. They are very attatched so they do insist to be together or within sight of one another. When leaving the house they do not need created as they just hang out together. However they are crate trained if you prefer they be crated. Harper and Lily’s adoption fees have been waived for an approved adopter.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.

Story
Meet Simon! Simon is a 4-month-old, 23-pound Husky/Lab mix — and the last of his litter to find a forever home! This handsome boy is bold, curious, and thoughtful in his own way. He likes to take a quick pause before leaping into new adventures, but once he’s decided, there’s no stopping him! Simon is brave, smart, and not shy about asking for what he wants — whether it’s treats, toys, or snuggles. Kisses are his specialty, and he gives them out generously to everyone he meets. When he’s done with his puppy antics, Simon transforms into a total cuddle bug. No pillow fort? No problem — he’ll make one himself! He’s already working on his puppy skills, including going outside for potty breaks, sitting for treats, and learning new commands. He doesn’t sleep through the night just yet, but after a quick potty break and breakfast, he’s happy to snooze again. Simon is equal parts adventure buddy and couch companion — the perfect match for an active family who loves both playtime and cuddle time. If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves, apply today!

Story
🎄✨ Meet Abcde’s Christmas Crew! ✨🎄 These three precious puppies are 5 weeks old today and will be ready to go home just in time to make one lucky family’s holiday extra magical! Just like their sweet mama Abcde, they are calm, gentle, and wonderfully playful. They love snuggling up for naps, exploring the world with wiggly curiosity, and following their foster humans around for more attention. Mama Abcde is a petite black Lab/Cattle Dog mix, and while Dad is a mystery, we’re guessing these pups will grow to be around 40–50 pounds. Each puppy is looking for a loving family to call their own—one that will cherish them long after the holiday lights come down. 🎁❤️ If you’re ready to welcome a lifetime of love, cuddles, and tail wags, these pups can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Larry! 🐾Larry’s story started rough—he was found at just 5 weeks old, covered in ringworm, after being left behind during an eviction. Thanks to the love and care he received, Larry has healed beautifully, and now he’s ready to find a forever home where he can truly feel safe.Larry is about 1 year old and weighs 44 pounds. He looks like he might be part Boxer, maybe Frenchie, Boston Terrier, and possibly a little pitty—your guess is as good as ours, but whatever he is, he’s 100% original and 100% lovable.He’s a shy, submissive boy who finds comfort just being near his person. One of his favorite things? Sitting on the couch and gently holding your arm in his mouth. It’s his version of a hug.And don’t get us started on his ears—one stands up, the other flops down, and together they make him look permanently curious and completely irresistible. 🥹Larry does well with all dogs and just needs slow introductions so he can build confidence and feel safe. Once he knows he’s okay, he warms up quickly and loves to be part of the pack.He’s crate trained and housebroken, and he does best when he has plenty of things to do to keep his mind busy—especially chew toys and marrow bones, which he absolutely loves.If you’re looking for a gentle soul who just wants to be close to you and feel safe, Larry could be your guy.

Story
Meet Diesel! This 1-year-old, 44-pound terrier mix is pure joy wrapped in fur. Diesel is a happy-go-lucky, submissive, and sweet boy who literally can’t stop smiling. He’s the kind of dog whose tail never quits and whose grin could brighten anyone’s day. Diesel loves being outside, chasing balls (though he’s still working on the “bring it back” part), and soaking up every ounce of affection he can get. He’s house trained, knows basic commands like “sit,” and will trot right into his playpen when asked—because yes, he’s both smart and eager to please. He does great with other dogs after a proper introduction and might be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, he’s all in for friendship and fun. With people, he’s a total cuddle bug who lives for love and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with a goofy grin and a heart of gold, Diesel’s your guy!
