Story
Rocky is a playful pup who would love someone who is retired, or someone who is home a lot to play with him. He has a lot of energy, but loves to chill out in the afternoon and sit on the couch and watch tv with you. He loves to spin and does it often because he thinks it will get him treats. He enjoys walks and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. He knows sit, lay down, stand, stay, spin, and paw. Unfortunately we are too busy to continue to care for him and feel it’s right to let him live a happy life with someone who is around more and can spend time with him.

Story
Lola is a sweet 12 yr old senior who was brought to a shelter for a medical exam where she was noted to be severely neglected. She was so badly matted and that a harness and a sweater she was were imbedded in her fur and needed to be cut out. She is good with children and other dogs. She has not had a good life and needs to gain some weight but has been doing well in our care. Her foster says she licks the plate clean. She is blind in one eye and on 2 medications for dry eye. This beautiful girl deserves a better life than the one she came from. She needs a home where is cared for and loved.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Tootie is available for adoption, and she’s just as adorable as her brother Rex! This 1‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix (to our best guess!) weighs about 9 pounds and came to us with Rex. They won’t be adopted together, so each can find their perfect match — and Tootie is ready to find hers! Tootie is a little lovebug with a big heart. She’s affectionate, playful, and loves being near her people. She did great with kids and enjoys playing with other small dogs. Big dogs can make her a little nervous at first, but she warms up quickly once she feels safe. She’s happiest when she’s cuddled up or playing with her favorite toys. She’s crate trained and doing well with housetraining, though she’ll need a little patience and consistency as she adjusts to her new home. Tootie is learning her leash skills and improving every day. A fully fenced yard is preferred — no invisible fences — so she can safely explore and play. Tootie rides nicely in the car, loves chewies and toys, and was recently professionally groomed. She’ll need regular grooming to keep her looking and feeling her best. This sweet, lovable little girl deserves the happiest, most wonderful home. Could that be you?   Tootie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $600 To keep her safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption . If you don’t already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10 .

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rex is available for adoption, and he is just the cutest little guy! This 1‑year‑old Shih Tzu mix (to our best guess!) weighs only 9 pounds and came to us with his sister Tootie. They won’t be adopted together, so each can find their perfect match — and Rex is so ready to meet his person. Rex is a total sweetheart. He’s incredibly loving, snuggly, and affectionate, always looking for attention and happily soaking up every bit of love he can get. He adored meeting kids at an event and enjoys playing with other small dogs. Big dogs can be a little intimidating at first, but once he realizes they’re friendly, he warms right up. He loves to wrestle, play, and be part of the fun. He’s working on his leash skills and getting better every day. Rex is crate trained and doing well with housetraining, though he’ll need a little patience and consistency as he settles into a new home. A fully fenced yard is preferred for him — no invisible fences — so he can safely explore and play. Rex is either cuddled up with his foster mom or zooming around with another dog. Toys and chewies are a must for this playful little guy! He rides nicely in the car and was recently professionally groomed. He’ll need regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking adorable. This tiny, lovable pup deserves the happiest, most wonderful home. Could that be you? Rex is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $600 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 27, 2026, 8:21 am

Story
Hi I'm Oliver (Ollie).... I'm approximately 4 years old (could be a little younger). I'm a very low key guy. I do on occasion play, but I'm okay just hanging out. My perfect home would be on the quieter side with my humans home more than not. I hate when they leave me even if I have other dogs around. I'm not fully potty trained, but will use a pee pad.... I am working on it however. I am presently on two different eye medications for my dry eyes. I may be on them for life. I really don't like getting them, but I don't put up too much of a fuss (just a little). I've been neutered and received my rabies. I have to finish out my other vaccines and get microchipped and I'll be ready to go. If you think you have the perfect home for me, please submit an application. My peeps will look it over and consult with me and reach out to you!

Story
Meet Yuri who is a cutie five-year-old Shih-tzu! Yuri has been very loved and cared for, but his owners are heading to another state to live with their adult family as they are no longer as mobile as they used to be and there is no longer room for him. Yuri has transformed right before our very eyes in the last two weeks. He walks around with a smile on his face, wags his tail every time his foster family comes home, and now LOVES his outdoor time. Yuri is still pretty low key and enjoys his human companionship. He is doing amazing with going outside to potty even though he is puppy pee pad trained. If for some reason he needs to go before his humans come home, he will go on the pad. This is a plus as he still squats to pee and does not lift his leg. Yuri is a love bug and enjoys human companionship first and foremost. The one thing that a potential adopter needs to be aware of is that he does take medicine for a platelet issue, but he has been stable and fabulous for over two years. He doesn't seem limited by this except for the fact that he can't have a rabies vaccine as that may have been the catalyst that caused the platelet issue. The medicine manages the condition so you would never know it! Everyone wants a perfect dog.......and Yuri is perfect in so many ways so please consider him! This is what true rescue is about! The BEST way to begin a potential adoption of Yuri is to directly EMAIL storkwoods@comcast.net and request an application.
