Story
Meet Hercules! This sweet boy was once used for back yard breeding his entire young life. One day he escaped along with his mate and they were put on the euthanasia list. After almost a year with us, Hercules finally found an adopter where he lived the dream life he'd never had. Unfortunately, after a few months he was returned due to a change in their family dynamic. At first he was so nervous and scared and had no clue why he lost his home again. Hercules doesn't understand and we don't know how to tell him it's not because he isn't wonderful and sweet and worth the extra work, it just wasn't a right fit. Hercules needs a home with a dog-smart adopter. He previously had a long year of waiting, and now he is waiting again but we promise with all our heart he is worth it. Hercules lives up to his name, he is strong but his heart is pure. He is loving and kind and will protect you from all bugs (as chasing them is his favorite past time), he will make sure you are never bored and never without snuggles. He will do absolutely anything for his red rocket toys, they are his favorite thing in the world. He is working hard to make new doggie friends and has actually done super well with Butterball, a female pitty. Hercules can sometimes be slow to warm up to men. However for a while, he was very bonded to a male volunteer who even took him on a week-long semi truck tour across the state! He did so great and loved the personal attention. He is a true explorer, loves the wilderness and going on walks, he will pause to listen to the nature and take in the sights.

Story
Meet Royce! When he came to us, he was around 3 years old, but he has been in our care for almost 2 years now. Royce is a really good boy. He weighs around 70 lbs but is a huge baby, one who does little bunny hops and snuggles like the baby boy he is. We found him on a euthanasia list at a local kill shelter where he had a terrible ear infection and allergies. His health issues are all cleared up now and he has just been patiently waiting and waiting for a family to love him. He loves all people and would make the perfect family dog. He really really likes playfully laid back female dogs to be his friend. His foster said: "Royce is doing great! He is potty trained, food motivated, a good kisser, and a huge people lover. Royce has done well on our walks and the top of the stairs/baby gate area. Royce seems to prefer our older dog at this point - rocking a chill vibe. Our younger is full on crazy and would play 24/7...he's not as comfortable there. It's seems playing is a concept he wasn't used to."

Story
Duncan came to us after much neglect and as an owner surrender to a large kill shelter. That shelter reached out and told us that he needed a hero. Duncan was in a terrible dog fight in the owners home. They never got him any support after the horrific attack. Shattered leg, and infection set in and we did immediate surgery to save his life. Now he is in need of a soft place to land, a loving family and a home to call his own.

Story
Romeo is big 'ol lover boy who just wants to cuddle with his people and rub against them! At 90lbs he may look intimidating but he loves poeple and gets along with other dogs. He loves to watch the backyard and roll in the grass. He is a talker and he will let you know if strangers are within sight. But even though his bark may be loud his tail is wagging. He is allowed to free roam the basement when he just takes naps. He sleeps in his dog bed on the floor all night. He is an easy dog. He rides well in the car and is up for an adventure. He may be middle aged but he has plenty of energy and love to give.

Story
Rocky (aka Rocky da Bow) is 9mo old. He's such a sweet, playful snuggly pup. He's ready to hang out all day and likes to stay close. He loves to play ball and tug of war. He's like a gentle almost giant. Rocky knows (sometimes) when its time to chill. Give him a treat and he'll try to learn anything. Although needs more consistency. Thankfully he knows he's not a lap dog but rather trys to melt into you when laying on the couch. I don't know if he realizes how big he is. He's been a good boy but needs someone who will exercise him more than we're able either with a fenced yard or long walks. Other than some toes stepped on hes wonderful with our young kids. He's curious about cats and will chase them but with more exposure I know he'd learn to leave them be. Still tuning the potty training but again with more attention I'm sure he'd catch on fast. Our schedules got busier than anticipated. Bring this bubs home and enjoy a loyal loving companion.
