Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

Goose is a 10-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix who brings happiness everywhere he goes. He's energetic, loving, and full of life, always ready for a walk, a good scratch, or a peanut-butter-filled Kong. Goose greets everyone with the same big enthusiasm, whether you've been gone for three hours or three weeks, and he loves nothing more than settling in and snoozing on your feet afterward. He would thrive in a home without young children, with people who enjoy staying active and can give him the attention he adores. He is sure to fill your home with warmth, smiles, and endless tail wags. If you're interested in learning more about Mr. Goose, please contact Helpline@OurCompanions.org or call 860-242-9999.

Story
Meet sweet, gentle, loving girl Harper. She's an easy girl to have around and provides great company whether it be going for a walk, sunbathing in the yard, or playing with her favorite toys. She's so very gentle, loves human attention and engages well in her surroundings. She enjoys being doted on, receiving belly rubs and being the center of attention. She has that endearing hound hoot bark when she feels the need to alert you of something nearby. She enjoys being pet and really enjoys being brushed while laying down soaking up the warmth of the sun. She is playful with her toys - tossing them in the air, chasing after them, and enjoys the benefits of a good chew toy. This girl would be great in a home that is gentle yet active to keep her physically and mentally stimulated. A fenced in yard is a definite plus because she very much enjoys the freedom of lounging in the yard. She walks well on leash and is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date with vaccinations. She weighs approximately 85 lbs and estimated to have been born around 9/1/22. Please note, if you're not ready to adopt but would consider fostering Harper, we would love to share with your what that means and how much of a positive difference you'd be making in a life of a dog that needs you.

Story
Meet Popcorn, I really don’t care for all this picture stuff. Can we skip the posing and get to the fun part? I’d much rather be out running, playing, or walking right beside my human. I mean, have you seen my gorgeous markings? And my eyes…well, just look for yourself! 😍 I’ve already done the mom thing. I raised two beautiful pups, Pop Secret and Jiffy Pop, and watched them grow up and find families of their own. Now I think it’s my turn. I’m ready for a soft bed, lots of love, plenty of walks, and a human to call mine. Other dogs? As long as they’re friendly like me, we should do just fine. People are definitely my favorite—especially the ones who come prepared with treats. 😋 My babies got their happy endings. Now Mama is ready for hers. ❤️🐾 He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com

Story
Meet Hot Fries, I was found wandering all alone in the fields, but judging by my sweet personality, I must have had a family once. I haven’t let that change my loving heart. I adore everyone I meet and get along great with all dogs. My foster mom says I’m one of the quietest, best-behaved dogs she’s ever had. I’m not a jumper, and I’m happy just being by your side. Whether we’re taking a walk, relaxing on the porch, or spending time with friends, I’m content just being part of the family. I’ve already proven what a wonderful companion I can be. Now all I need is a forever home where I can share all the love I have to give. Could that be with you? 🐾❤️ He/she is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Story
Meet Honey Boy, he is a double merle Catahoula/Great Dane mix without a mean bone in his body. He is a sweet, playful, affectionate 80 pound baby. He loves being outside, playing and exploring but is happiest when he cuddling, or curled at your feet. Honey Boy loves his toys, treats, car rides and naps in his crate. My husband read HB's bio and pointed out that I forgot to say that he is very playful. He likes playing with dogs and with people, chasing balls and toys, then he settles down to cuddle and lounge in the yard or on the porch near people. He also loves his evening walks. Honey Boy is leash, crate and house trained. He is the perfect family dog. Honey Boy can’t wait to meet you! Honey Boy is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.
