Story
2/5/26: URGENT Due to life circumstances (moving) foster is no longer able to house Genesis. If you have room in your home she could use a place to crash. Meet Genesis: Strong, Sweet, and Always Watching Out Genesis is a 110-pound brindle pitbull mix with a calm, wise soul and a heart full of quiet love. She and her brother Waffles were found beside their late owner, refusing to leave his side after he passed. Since that heartbreaking moment, Genesis has remained a steady, grounded presence—always looking out for those she loves. She’s independent and thoughtful, happy to lounge outside and watch the world go by. When she’s ready for affection, she’ll nudge you gently for pets and love. Genesis is fully potty trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is content being home alone during the day. She doesn’t need constant attention—just a home that feels safe and a person she can trust. Genesis is used to being the “big sister”—sharing food, giving up her bed, and always checking in. Now, she’s ready for a home of her own, where she can soak up the spotlight and continue blossoming into her own. She walks well on leash, is food-motivated and trainable, and thrives in a peaceful environment. Like her brother, Genesis is selective with other dogs, so she may prefer to be your one and only pup—but with a heart like hers, she’ll be all you need. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion with quiet strength and a big heart, Genesis is ready to start her next chapter—with you.

Story
2/5/26: URGENT Due to life circumstances (moving) foster is no longer able to house Waffles. If you have room in your home he could use a place to crash. Meet Waffles: A good boy, who's had it rough. Waffles is a 70-pound silver pitbull mix with the heart of a teddy bear. His story began with heartbreak—he and his sister Genesis were found keeping watch by their owner, who had passed away outside of his tent. Since then, Waffles has been in foster care, patiently waiting for a new chapter to begin. Waffles is a certified snuggler. He lives for love and affection—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or just passing by, he’s always up for some cuddles. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps well through the night, and is content when left home alone (especially if his dog bed is cozy and the vibes are calm). One of his favorite things? Bouncing up and down the stairs just for the fun of it. Recently, Waffles had a few low-grade mast cell tumors removed. He’s recovering beautifully and still full of joy, love, and curiosity. His adopters should be prepared to keep an eye on his skin and stay in touch with a vet for any future concerns—but for now, he’s doing great and loving life. Waffles does well on walks, enjoys the fresh air, and is food-motivated and trainable. He prefers to be the only dog in the home (unless carefully matched), but his affection for humans knows no bounds. If you’re looking for a deeply loyal, low-key companion with a heart full of love and a snuggle quota that never runs out—Waffles might just be your guy.

Story
Contact the foster at, susanmenkhaus@yahoo.comWhat a doll baby! If you want a ready-made trained dog w loads of love, potty trained and smart as a whip? Ophelia is your girl. She loves a walk and meeting everyone other dog along the way. She plays chase and loves balls. But when she comes home she snuggles up in a ball and waits patiently for her loving! She is crate trained and loves a good chew toy but hasn’t chewed anything but her toys. She was pulling in her leash but has very easily learned to heel with just treat bait. She is very treat motivated and would probably love scent training if that is your thing. Importantly, she doesn’t jump up on furniture unless invited and keeps all four paws on the floor (unless you really egg her on!). She has been left for up to 8 hours in a small apartment and has been just a saint. If you want a lovable wagging dog to greet you at the door, Ophelia is the girl for you!
