Story
I got Maddie as a rescue in OH from a small independent shelter who was looking after her after Maddies mother passed from a car accident. Maddie is almost two years old. Maddie has some anxiety around other people and animals at first but after spending some time with her and a couple treats to help she warms right up. Maddie is a very loyal, kind, and loving dog, shes always got a smile on her face. She caring and attentive, she will often come right over and sit on the couch next to me when i'm feeling down. Maddie loves treats like bullysticks, greanies, or bones that she can chew on. Maddies favorite toys are her rope toys, her stuffed bone, and her ball. Maddie is crate trained, she knows how to sit, and loves to take naps. I'm hoping Maddie can find a home that can give as much love to Maddie and she gives to the people around her. I hope she can find a home with people who have the resources and time to give her a proper home and the attention that she needs.

Story
Keyoko is the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She had been living a good life until her owner died and she - and her buddy Zeus - suddenly found themselves at the shelter with nowhere to go. One of our wonderful fosters has agreed to take both of them in until we can find their new forever homes. In addition, a kind supporter has sponsored part of her adoption fee to help her get settled soon. At 8yrs old, Keyoko is still playful and loves to cuddle with her people. She is looking for a safe and loving home. If you think that could be yours, click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. This dog is being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Twinkle lived at an Amish Farm in the house; however, the children let her outside and she killed the chickens. So very high prey drive. She loves children, playing in the yard and car rides. She is shy with new people at first but when she warms up to you, you will have companion for life. She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Twinkle is located at our Texas Ranch.
