Story
Meet Castiel — “Cass” to his friends 💙Cass was with H.A.L.O. a few years ago and, for reasons we never quite understood, this amazing boy struggled to find a home. When he finally did, we thought his happily-ever-after had arrived. Sadly, his beloved adopter recently had to move into assisted living and was heartbroken that Cass could not come along. Now, through no fault of his own, Cass is searching for a family once again.This handsome medium-sized guy is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. He loves to run, race around the yard, play tug-o-war, and go on adventures, but he’s just as happy curling up beside his favorite person for cuddles and belly rubs. Intelligent, attentive, and full of personality, Cass has a goofy sense of humor that shines once he feels comfortable. He enjoys car rides, is crate trained, and has been trustworthy free-roaming the house when home with his people.Cass was rescued as a puppy and raised in an active home, and his loyalty to his humans runs deep. He can be nervous around loud vehicles like motorcycles and big trucks, and he would do best in an adult-only home, or home with older children who understand his boundaries, as he can become overstimulated around young children and protective over toys.For the right person, Cass will be more than just a dog — he’ll be a devoted companion, adventure buddy, and best friend all rolled into one. 🐾Requirements: Martingale Collar; Children 12yrs+All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.

Story
Meet Twinkle, the 3-year-old, 43-pound sparkler who’s ready to light up your life! This shy and sweet girl is ready to leave her traumatic past behind her and find her forever human to show her what love, patience and kindness is. Twinkle is incredibly sweet with people she trusts, always ready to shower you with affection and brighten your day. Sweet Twinkle has been living with our dog trainer since September 1, 2025. She's crate trained, walks politely on a leash, rides beautifully in the car and LOVES people she trusts! She's discovered that living inside is wonderful and has enjoyed living in a family environment (rather than outside or in a crowded kennel). She's also found that toys are super fun to play with! Twinkle was rescued from life on a heavy chain, living outside without access to food, water or reasonable shelter. Her previous owner was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Although we don't know for sure what Twinkle endured we do know that she'll need her new owner to understand that she'll take a little time to get used to her new home and be patient with her.

Canine Clip: Lucy was trapped as a stray and was then surrendered by her owner. She would need to meet any other dogs in the home. With a proper introduction, she would do well with another dog. she’s good with cats but curious. She enjoys learning new things and she is very smart. She would also love a super comfortable couch! Personality: She is a sweetheart with the happiest wagging tail and a heart full of love! She quickly bonds with her humans. Lucy LOVES belly rubs and daily walks. We are still building her confidence but she loves lounging on the couch. She is fully house trained. Dream Lifestyle: Lucy would love someone who has time for play and training, she is very intelligent and a fast learner. She would like a yard to have her zoomies in! Other Pets: She would be happy to share a home and human with other dogs (any size) or as an only pet to soak up all the attention! She is good with cats, but she is curious about them- she has never chased or harmed one. She need someone willing to continue her training, she has progressed so well over the last couple of months. She's ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to her furever family!!
