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?

MEET HOWIE! This happy, gentle Rhodesian Ridgeback/pit mix is a loverboy! Howie is 5 years young and has a heart full of love to give. He was rescued from a California shelter in very rough shape - he had major skin issues/hair loss and had clearly been neglected, but now he looks so much better! He's appreciative of love and attention and is a very affectionate boy. He's a big snuggler and will want to share your bed. He loves going for walks and other outings. He is good with some dogs but not others, so would probably thrive as the only dog in the home, or with a submissive female. He's been waiting a long time for his own home, and we're hoping 2025 is his year! Howie currently needs a foster or forever home. He weighs about 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application.

Here`s what my foster parent says about me: • `Vada is sweet and loving, she is calm, gentle, and well-mannered.`• `Vada is fully housetrained! She does great when left alone for a few hours. She has been trustworthy in the house and spends that time quietly napping on the couch or in her bed until her people return.`• `Vada is a perfect walking partner. She gets excited for walks and stands calmly to be harnessed. She enjoys short walks at a brisk pace with plenty of sniffing. She doesn’t pull and mostly ignores other dogs she passes.`• `Vada is a mellow senior, she loves to relax but still has great energy`• `Vada LOVES food and treats and is very food-motivated.**My new family can name their own adoption fee!**

Looking for a shadow who’s more interested in your Friday night plans than the local dog park drama? Meet Kay, the ultimate people’s pup who is ready to be your new best friend! KayKay is the kind of dog who believes humans are the absolute center of the universe. While other dogs are busy chasing squirrels, Kay is busy figuring out how to get closer to you on the couch! She has a personality that radiates warmth, making her the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal, devoted sidekick. She’s spirited, soulful, and ready to fill your home with a whole lot of love. Wait until you see her in action! Check out Kay’s adorable adoption video right here to see those tail wags for yourself! https://youtu.be/F2uTFAsozDo Kay is what we call a velcro dog in the best way possible. She doesn't just live in your house; she lives with you. Whether you’re working from home, Folded laundry, or just hanging out, Kay wants to be right there by your side. She’s not necessarily looking for a marathon partner; she’s more of a let's explore the backyard and then nap kind of girl. If you've been looking for a shadow that never leaves your side, Kay is your girl. We think KayKay is a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, but as with any rescue, her DNA is a fun mystery! At 29 lbs, she’s the dream passenger, just the perfect huggable size! Kay is currently thriving and learning the ropes of home life. She’s a smart cookie who understands the routine of a household. She’s the type of dog who would love a consistent routine where she knows exactly when the next round of pets is coming. She is currently thriving in her foster home and learning the ropes like a total pro. She’s a smart cookie who has the household routine down to a science. She knows exactly when "Pet O’Clock" is, and she will be there to collect her taxes. Highly treat-motivated? That’s an understatement. She’s basically a vending machine in reverse. You put the treat in, and she outputs Good Girl behaviors instantly! Best of all? This sweet girl is a friend to everyone. She currently lives with children and has proven to be wonderfully kid friendly. Whether she’s being a gentle companion for the little ones or a focused student during training time, KayKay is the ultimate family addition. When it comes to other dogs, KayKay is a polite socialite. She can live with other canine siblings, but she’s also a lady who knows her worth and isn't afraid to set a boundary if a playmate gets a little too pushy. She’d be a great match for a home with a mellow, respectful dog or she’d be perfectly thrilled to be your one and only and soak up every bit of the spotlight! KayKay recently had a meet and greet with a cat and was a total lady! We think she’d be a great roommate for a feline friend, and a kitty sleepover would be the ultimate test to see if they can become true BFFs. Because Kay likes to find her voice when she’s tucked away in her crate, she’s looking for a home with a yard rather than an apartment setting. She wants a place where she can bark her "hello" without worrying about the neighbors! Her ideal home is one where she gets plenty of human interaction and maybe a sunny spot in the grass to lounge in. Something truly cute about her? The way she looks at you like you’re the only person in the world because to her, you are! In short, Kay is a soulful, people loving treasure who is just waiting for a family to call her own. She’s got the loyalty, the looks, and a whole lot of love to give to the lucky person who brings her home. Ready to make KayKay the newest member of your family?
