Story
I adopted Bo from the local shelter in January 2025 as a pup.He was born in November 2024. He's so fun and energetic and has so much love to give. He loves to run and play outside and loves to go hiking and on runs and walks. I have had him inside some and he made decent progress on potty training. He is mainly an outside doggie except for when there’s bad weather, he stayed in the garage. He stays in my fenced backyard mostly and occasionally he comes inside for an hour or so. He will sit on command. Bo would be best with a family or person who could give him more attention and be active with him. He deserves it. I think he would do best with teens/older children who want to run and play outside or an adult who enjoys running outside. Please only respond if you would seriously give Bo lots of love and attention. He hasn't ever shown any aggression towards people but is very protective and will bark and alert you if someone comes on your property he isn't familiar with.

Story
It’s no mystery that Scooby is truly one of a kind. Scooby is a big dog with an even bigger heart. More than anything, he just wants to be with his people — whether that’s playing fetch outside or curling up beside you indoors. Scooby is happiest simply existing alongside the people he loves. Like his cartoon counterpart, Scooby can be a little nervous when faced with new experiences. But with patience, reassurance, and love, he’s learning what safety and trust really feel like. Once he’s comfortable, his goofy, loving personality shines through. Scooby knows his basic commands and is highly motivated by his personal version of Scooby Snacks: slices of American cheese. Honestly, if cheese is involved, this man is ready to negotiate anything. Scooby is looking for a patient, loving home that will continue helping him build confidence while giving him all the companionship he craves. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, laughter, and a best friend who just wants to be by your side. *** Disclaimer *** This profile reflects information provided and behaviors observed by those who have interacted with this dog. Every dog is an individual with their own personality, preferences, and needs. Positive experiences with other animals or in certain environments do not guarantee the same results in every situation. Terms like “house-trained,” “crate-trained,” or “has done well with dogs/cats/children” indicate past behavior, not a guarantee of future performance. Patience, proper introductions, and continued training are always essential.

Story
Mabel is an approx. 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who weighs approx. 60 lbs. She is a strong, dominant woman who does not take crap from anyone — including her husband Larry or his best bud Teddy. Equal-opportunity accountability. Mabel is also very quick to talk smack to other dogs as they walk by. Loud opinions. Zero hesitation. She is full of herself, and honestly? She’s earned it. She’s a gorgeous girl and she knows exactly what she brings to the table. Larry and Mabel are a bonded pair, no negotiations. They met in boarding after being rescued a few months apart, and somehow it was fate. He’s the Ricky to her Lucy. She’s prim, proper, and runs a tight ship. He’s the “I’ll chew your ear off while we walk through Home Depot because I love you so much” kind of guy. Together, they are perfection. They both adore people and will greet you with enthusiastic teeth kisses. Larry is also exceptionally skilled at turning himself into a bowling ball and knocking down the pins — and yes, the pin is you. You’ve been warned. 🥴 Mabel and Larry cannot go to a home with other animals, but trust us when we say this: the two of them are more than enough. Entertainment, companionship, chaos, and love — all included. Mabel is heartworm positive and currently on the slow-kill method. She will need to continue heartworm protection throughout her life.

Story
Just like the great outdoors, Mother Nature is a heart worm survivor that is calming, joyful, and full of life. This 2 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback / Black Mouth Cur mix is a sweet girl with a heart as big as her happy tail (and trust us, that tail never stops wagging!). Mother Nature loves to dance her way into your heart, especially when snacks are involved. Treats are her love language, and she’s always eager to show off her moves for a reward. She has a healthy dose of youthful energy and would do best with a family who can help her burn energy through walks, playtime, or fun adventures.

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?
