Story
Meet Apollo Estimated to be just under a year old, Apollo is a stunning merle boy with a heart just as beautiful as his looks. Apollo can be slightly timid when first meeting new people, but once he realizes he’s safe, he quickly turns into a happy-go-lucky, affectionate pup full of fun young-dog energy. He warms up quickly and loves attention, playtime, and being part of the action. Apollo’s past wasn’t kind—he was dumped from a car on a back road on a freezing cold day and left behind. Despite that heartbreaking start, Apollo remains trusting, loving, and eager to connect with people. He’s still young and would do best in a home ready to continue training, provide structure, and embrace puppy energy. With patience and consistency, Apollo will make an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a resilient, sweet, and gorgeous young dog ready for a fresh start, Apollo is your guy. ⸻ Be sure to visit our Facebook page for additional pictures and information on our rescues!

Story
Meet Lilly – Your Perfect Snuggle Buddy with a Splash of Spunk! Looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts muscle and marshmallow? Meet Lilly, a gorgeous 4-year-old pittie with a heart of gold and a love for both playtime and couch time. Lilly is house-trained, knows her manners, and is trained on a wireless fence. She’s full of energy and would love an active home where she can run, play, and show off her goofy side—but once the day winds down, she’s all about snuggling up close and soaking in the love. While she hasn’t lived with other dogs, Lilly is tolerant when meeting them and could potentially do well with the right dog friend. She has lived with older kids and enjoys being part of a family. With her big beefcake build and even bigger heart, she’s truly the full package. Lilly is the kind of dog who makes every day better—loyal, sweet, silly, and always ready to be by your side. If you're looking for a best friend who will match your energy, then crash on the couch with you after—Lilly might just be your perfect match. Come meet Lilly and see why her foster family says she’s “basically perfect.” -We only place dogs in homes that meet THEIR needs. -Be sure to visit our Facebook page for additional pictures and information on our rescues!

Story
Hello all, I am looking for a good home for my sweet dog Nala. I am moving to the other side of the country for grad school and I wasn’t able to find housing that would allow me to bring her in time. Nala is 4 years old. She is pitt lab mix and about 60 pounds. I’ve had her all her life. She is energetic, sweet and cuddly. She is spayed and very well trained. She knows sit, stay, lay down, come here, speak, shake, off, down, up, and heel. She is crate trained and food motivated. She is up to date on all of her shots and vacs. Nala loves children, wading in water and taking naps. It would be a great help for her and me if I can find a good home for her.

Meet Marla, an absolutely heart-melting 11-month-old English Bulldog with the sweetest soul you’ll ever encounter! This little girl is pure love, she adores children, showers every person she meets with gentle affection, and has a way of snuggling right into your heart. Her goofy wrinkles, joyful wiggles, and those big, soulful eyes will make you smile every single day. The only reason we’re searching for a new forever home for Marla is that she doesn’t get along with other dogs. It breaks our hearts to let her go, but we know she deserves a peaceful home where she can be the only pup and soak up all the love and attention she craves. Marla dreams of a family who will cherish her as their one-and-only furry companion. If you have room in your heart and home for this precious girl, she will repay you with endless loyalty, cuddles, and unconditional love. Could you be the happy ending she’s waiting for?
