Story
There are some stories that are hard to hear... and then there are stories like Honey's.For the first part of her young life, Honey lived alone at the end of a chain. No warm bed. No toys. No family. No one to tell her she was a good girl. She was so frightened that she cried constantly, hoping someone would notice.Thankfully... someone did.A kind neighbor couldn't stand to see her suffer and made the call that changed everything.Today, that same little girl is almost unrecognizable. The fear has been replaced with joy. The tears have been replaced with tail wags. Honey greets each day with a happy heart, soaking up every bit of love she can find—as if she's making up for all the affection she missed.She's still just a puppy, under a year old, and she's the kind of dog who can fit into just about any home or lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or a best friend to grow up with, Honey is ready.All she's ever wanted was someone to love her.Now it's our turn to make sure she never spends another day wondering if she's enough.Come meet Honey. We think you'll fall in love just as quickly as she falls in love with everyone she meets. 🍯❤️Thank you for taking the time to look at our precious "pound puppies" If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at 730-272-1071. We would love to help connect you with your new best friend.

Story
This distinguished fine gentleman is named Ruckus. He is a terrier mix. Approximately 2 years old and around 15 lbs. Ruckus is our quiet guy. He is so well mannered in his kennel. Doesn’t make any messes. He would make someone a great companion! Does well with other dogs and cats! All pets have their quirks, Ruckus likes to jump on our desks and chairs to look out the window. I think he thinks he is a catJune 16, 2026, 3:10 pm
