Story
Meet Chelsea, a 4-year-old Pit Bull/Shepherd mix who may take her time warming up, but once she does, she’ll absolutely steal your heart. She’s a reserved girl at first glance—thoughtful, observant, and careful with new people—but when she decides you’re safe, she transforms into a full-on love bug who leans in for affection, follows you around, and forms a deep, loyal bond that feels genuinely earned. Chelsea isn’t a match for homes with cats, and she can be selective with other dogs, so she’ll thrive best with adopters who appreciate her boundaries and can give her a calm, structured environment where she can feel secure. She doesn’t want chaos—she wants connection. And if you’re willing to give her a little time to trust, you’ll discover a dog who gives her whole heart back. Come meet Chelsea and see why the people who know her can’t stop rooting for her. She’s ready for her person—she’s just waiting for you.

This boy was dumped at a grocery store. He is a good boy who had a home once. He knows some commands and does well on a leash.

Story
Babe is a 3 year old sweetheart with the most soulful eyes and a heart that's bigger than her past. She weighs approx. 50 pounds, is house trained, and can sit on command. This beautiful girl has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. Babe came to rescue with a serious wound, and the vet believes she had been shot. She underwent surgery, healed like a champ, and now her scar is just a reminder of how strong and resilient she truly is. She is incredibly loving with people. She is up to date on vaccines, and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed. She would do best as the only dog as she hasn't gotten along with other dogs in her foster home. However, she doesn't seem to mind cats. She's looking for a home where she can be your one and only furry best friend and honestly, she will give you more than enough love to make up for it. Babe is being fostered in Mississippi but we transport alll throughout the North through Rescue Riders Pet Transport. They are the friendliest and the most amazing pet transport! Please message us if you are interested and we will sent you an adoption application! We look forward to hearing from you!

Story
Lois is an amazing dog who is looking for her perfect home!! Would you ever imagine that this adorable smiling face had ever been anything but happy?! She seems to have forgotten her past (which was the too often sad story of a mom and her puppies struggling to survive) and is ready for her time in the spotlight. She's been waiting over a year and a half for her chance! Lois is an outgoing, friendly, playful, athletic, bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky girl who truly loves playing with her friends. She’s had a few different dog friends (all boys) that she’s played with and she is always up for a game of chase with some zoomies. No girl dogs for her, or cats. She really needs an active household. She’ll keep everyone entertained! Her big smile is just too contagious. Besides a family of her own, Lois also needs a secure, fenced yard. She’s quite the athlete and she likes to show off her athletic prowess. So we want to make sure that she stays safe! Lois is a great size - around 40-45 lb. She’s probably in the 2-3 year old range. She’ll be an amazing dog for the right home! This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
