Story
Meet Reba Reba has spent her life taking care of everyone else. Now it’s finally her turn to be someone’s beloved family dog. After spending nearly 5 weeks in a shelter, Reba was pulled into foster care for a fresh start. On the way to her veterinary appointment, it became obvious she was carrying more than a few extra pounds. An examination confirmed she was over halfway through her pregnancy. She was also diagnosed as heartworm positive, but that didn’t stop her from settling into foster care with her calm, gentle nature. Not long after arriving, Reba delivered 8 beautiful puppies in a quick, uncomplicated labor. She proved to be an exceptional mother—attentive, patient, and loving. She kept her babies clean, well-fed, and safe until they were ready to begin their own journeys. Once her puppies were weaned, Reba began her heartworm treatment and is now ready to find a family of her own. About Reba * Believed to be a 4-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback* Gentle, calm, and incredibly sweet* Adjusts quickly to new environments and routines* Gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and ages* Cats are not recommended—she isn’t overly fond of them* Walks beautifully on a leash and also enjoys a securely fenced yard* Quick learner who enjoys pleasing her people* Crate trained and happily goes to her kennel when told “Kennel”* Can also be left out in the home with no issues* Eats Purina Dog Chow and does well eating alongside other dogs* Fully vaccinated* On heartworm prevention* Spayed Reba has endured more than most dogs should, yet she remains trusting, affectionate, and ready to love. She doesn’t ask for much—a soft bed, a kind family, and the chance to spend the rest of her life simply being someone’s cherished companion. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal best friend with a heart of gold, Reba is ready to meet you. If you would like her to join your family fill out an adoption application.  She is HW+ and currently receiving heartworm treatment in Louisiana which will be complete on 9/3/26.  Her $350 adoption fee covers medical care up to adoption to include vaccines, spay, microchip, heartworm treatment, foster care and transportation from Louisiana to NY. ##2677598##

Story
Meet Trisha Yearwood Trisha Yearwood was the last born of Reba’s litter of 8, and she is one of “the twins.” The last two puppies born looked almost identical, and this tiny girl has always been extra special. Her mom, Reba, was rescued from the shelter after being there for about a month. When Reba was picked up, she appeared pregnant, and a vet visit confirmed she was a little over halfway through her pregnancy. Reba went to her foster home and, right on time, delivered 8 healthy puppies in the bathroom. It was quick, easy, and everyone was healthy as could be. Reba was a wonderful mom, and each puppy has grown into their own unique personality.

She began losing weight and was not thriving like her siblings. A vet visit revealed an infection, and her foster family had to work hard to help her recover. She was pulled from the litter and kept in a crate right next to her foster at all times, receiving constant care and attention.This tiny girl proved she is a fighter. She pulled through, and although her early struggle left her with a bit of stunted growth, she is healthy now — just extra small. Because she was carried around and cared for so closely during her recovery, she is very comfortable being with people and loves being held, cuddled, and close.Trisha Yearwood may be little, but her personality is mighty. She is sweet, confident, curious, and full of life. Reba may have had a rough start, and this little girl had her own fight too, but she came through it beautifully. Now she is ready for a forever family who will love her tiny body, big spirit, and sweet little heart.
