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.

Nova is a 2-year-old bundle of energy weighing about 55 pounds and is ready to blast off into her next adventure! This sweet girl loves people, loves treats, and loves to run. If you`ve been searching for a jogging partner or an active companion, Nova might be your perfect match. She`s easy to harness up and heads out ready to move!While this Vizsla mix enjoys running for much of her walk, but knows to stop for for pictures, treats, and when her running buddy needs a break. She knows `sit` and is getting better every day about sitting politely for her favorite snacks (which she absolutely adores). Nova is very people-friendly and enjoys affection - especially after she`s had a chance to burn off some of her zoomies. She doesn`t mind the cold or snow either, making her a great year-round adventure buddy.If you`re ready for an affectionate, treat-motivated best friend who will keep life exciting, Nova is waiting to meet

*****Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Juice (known by his foster as Joey), a neutered 4-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix weighing about 56 lbs, with soulful eyes and a heart that just wants to feel safe. He’s a sweet, charming boy who’s been through a lot and is ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally settle in and be someone’s whole world. Juice is affectionate, cuddly, and loves his toys, but his favorite thing is quietly hanging out with his person, and he loves resting his head and paw on your arm like his own little love language. He can be shy and wary with new people at first. Slow, gentle introductions help him build trust, and once he does, he is deeply loyal and devoted. Juice played with neighborhood dogs, including a larger husky. His play style was bouncy and rough. He has become more fearful around unfamiliar dogs and prefers his space, especially near his crate. He’s seems to ignores smaller dogs, and would be happiest as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention. Juice is not cat friendly and will chase, so a cat-free home is required for him. Juice has an average energy level and is happy with moderate daily activity. He does pull on leash when excited and has been working on that. He responds best to patience and kindness, as harsh correction can cause him to cower and feel guilty. He is always crated when left alone due to his love for chewing, although he does sleep well in there through the night. He’s had some potty accidents. Juice does great in the car but may need assistance getting in. He's always ready for a ride. Juice has only shown some food aggression with other dogs, but with stability and routine he’s made great progress. He eats separately in his crate. He may still guard high-value treats, which is easily managed with respect for his boundaries. Juice would do best in a quiet home with soft-spoken, patient adults who understand that healing takes time. He’s not a “problem dog” he’s a sensitive soul who just needs the right person to make him feel safe, loved, and chosen. Give Juice that, and he’ll give you his whole heart. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt him?

Story
Hello, My name is Apollo I am a loving companion with lots of energy. I am looking for a family who is loving and active. I love kids and have lived with two cat brothers. I haven’t been around too many dogs in my lifetime but cats are my go to. I am a very big dog so I need plenty of space and preferably a nice backyard for me to roam. I don’t potty in the house and I’m used to a work schedule. I will let you know when I have to go by sitting at the door. I love kids and I’m a big cuddle bug. I’d like to go to a home where there are other fur babies. I love my family and they love me but they’re no longer able to care for me due to changes in health+ relocation. They want me to get the love and care I deserve, so if you think we will be a good fit contact my dad.
