Story
This 3-year-old American Bulldog mix is 75 lbs of goofy, handsome charm! He loves to zoom around the yard, showing off his playful side, and when he’s ready to relax, he’ll lean right into you for his favorite thing in the world—butt scratches. Dex’s fun-loving personality is sure to keep you smiling. He already knows how to sit and give paw, but he would definitely benefit from some basic training to help him polish his manners. Because of his size, energy, and lack of a few manners, he would do best in a home without small children. He will also require a home without cats. Dex is the perfect mix of silly, active, and affectionate, and he’s ready to find a family who will love him for the big sweetheart he is. Apply to meet Dex and let your adventures begin!

Story
Hey there, everybody my name is Mildred, but I like Millie better. I’m the kind of girl that greets you with a smile, maybe a hug and a bouncy good attitude. No one really knows what I’ve been through, but it was not me living my best life. Fortunately, fate smiled upon me and brought me to a wonderful rescue. Here I’m given the opportunity to truly blossom and become the best version of myself. I am learning to play with toys, share my space, and get wonderful cuddles with a loving person. I am getting the hang of going for walks, learning some basic obedience, and of course, sharpening my manners. I am a fun girl that enjoys being around people, but I haven’t quite mastered my own strength- so older kids would be better for me. I’ve always got a big smile on my face and not too much bothers me. I love being outside, sunbathing, smelling the fresh air, and balls are my favorite.  I need to be cat tested but so far, I am a little selective with dogs. I am still learning how to properly greet a new pup, something tells me I would enjoy a playful female. Yep, life is on the up and up now. I mostly need to work on my gentleness and possibly learn how to do taxes. Aside from that I’m really quite the catch! Contact us to learn how to meet me and see if I’m the addition to your family you never knew you needed.   If you are interested in Mildred please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adoptNovember 17, 2025, 3:27 pm

Story
Meet Jax! This 5½-year-old, 56 lb pup is the total package—smart, playful, and full of personality. He listens well, knows a few tricks, and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch with his favorite ball. Jax walks nicely on leash, keeps his kennel clean, and has a fun, spunky side that will keep you smiling. He also gets along great with other dogs, but will require a home with no cats. He’s already been tested negative for heartworms and Lyme disease, and he’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to go home. Jax has been waiting since March 2024 for his forever family—could it be you?

Story
Clawdeen is a 2-year-old Boxer mix with a sweet, gentle spirit and the softest eyes you’ll ever see. She may be new to the shelter, but she’s already winning hearts with her calm nature and eagerness to please. This smart girl knows how to sit and give paw, and she loves showing off her manners. We’re still getting to know her, but so far Clawdeen seems to be dog reactive, so she may do best as the only dog in the home while she continues to build confidence. One thing we do know? Clawdeen is a kind-hearted pup who just wants someone to love her back.
