Rocco is a sweet, affectionate boy with a calm, easygoing personality. He enjoys exploring the yard, spending time with his people, and is happiest when he's getting cuddles.

Rocco is also alert and will let you know when something catches his attention.After being rescued as a stray, Rocco has blossomed into a loving companion and is ready to find a family that will include him in all of life's adventures.Rocco has not been exposed to cats or children, so we don't yet know how he would do with them.Ideal Home: A loving family looking for a stable routine, affectionate companion who will provide plenty or exercise.September 20, 2026, 5:31 pm

Story
Lemon belonged to a coworker who dumped her after adopting her as a puppy and having her for 4 years… he dumped her at the shelter where she stopped eating.. drinking.. urinating and walking.. she wouldn’t even interact with volunteers.. Lemon was said to have been going after the families female dog only after being starved for 6 days by a neighbor who was supposed to be watching her and the families 3 other dogs… Lemon was so severely shut down she was scheduled for euthanasia so I went and picked her up. The rescue who had originally backed her abandon her with me claiming they had no money.. Lemon was severely ill when I got her and required almost 1k In medical care I provided out of pocket. I am currently fundraising for lemon to receive training for her fear and inability to trust people.. she is so loving when she knows you.. quiet.. silly.. potty trained.. leash trained and crated trained.. she needs an experienced home with no animals or small children.

Story
Tucker is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, he is roughly 9months old and 40 lbs. or so. He is of a gentle temperament as far as we can tell. He's never been aggressive towards my mom's little chorkie. We dont have kids at the house, just my mom and i. We adopted him from the local shelter; he had a day left before he would be euthanized; they said he was good during play time with the other dogs. He also shared a kennel with 2 other dogs. He really seems like a good dog overall. We've been working on simple manners (sit, stay, down etc.) We've also been training him to be in his crate at night and then taking him to the yard first thing in the morning to go potties. It seems like he's never had any real training. He jumps up on you as a greeting i guess, not so bad, except my mom has a rehabbed shattered hip and he's almost knocked her over a couple times. It seems he'd be best suited for someone with som dog experience (i have very little, other than watching Cesar Milan and Rocky Kanaka).

Story
Max is 4 years old. He is a Rhodesian ridgeback mix who has high energy and loves to go running. He loves to explore off leash when hiking. He does learn new things if you train him, such as shaking paws or catching snacks. He is actually a great watch/alert dog. All bark no bite. Strangers are scared of him when they see him barking but he has never harmed anyone if you are looking for that type of security. He is sweet and needs someone that can give him more time and energy (something we ended up not having eventually). He just wants to play and needs someone that can give him at attention.
