Story

This name needs no explanation. Sonar is a 1 year old, male, Bully mixed breed looking for a foster or forever home. His ears are enormous, his legs are hilariously short, and we are absolutely obsessed with him. Energy is his love language and he will never pass up the chance to play. Sonar is always ready for a good time, loves people around people, and adores other playful dogs. Zoomies are his specialty and he is looking for an active family to give him enough exercise. He is a very good boy. He leans in for affection, soaks up attention like sunshine, and has that “let’s be best friends” enthusiasm that makes you feel good just being near him. Sonar’s joyful nature, goofy build, and giant radar dish ears make him impossible to forget and even harder not to love. He is ready to bring laughter, play, and a whole lot of heart to his new family.

Story

Meet Tofu — a gentle, resilient girl with a heart as big as her recovery story. When she first came into rescue, Tofu was sick, frightened, and nearly hairless from mange and severe infections. With intensive veterinary care and a dedicated rescue team, she spent a full month in the hospital fighting her way back to health and showing just how tough she truly is.Now, Tofu is thriving. She’s playful, happy, and full of puppy energy, with her coat growing back beautifully and only a few thin patches left as quiet reminders of what she’s overcome. Settled into her foster home, she’s discovering that life can be safe, predictable, and filled with love.Tofu does best with a steady routine: morning meals and outdoor fun, restful crate naps while her foster mom is at work, and evenings filled with dinner and joyful puppy antics. Because food wasn’t always a sure thing early in her life, she’s still building trust around mealtime, but she shows no aggression toward people.An active family or couple would be a wonderful match for Tofu — especially those who enjoy walks, hikes, or other adventures. Her energy and enthusiasm make her a great fit for a home with older children.After surviving so much at such a young age, Tofu is ready for the next chapter — a forever home where she can keep growing, exploring, and being loved every single day.

Story

Meet Olive, a 9-year-old pitbull mix with the sweetest, gentlest soul. Olive is incredibly laid back and calm, happiest when she’s relaxing nearby or curled up for a cuddle. She has a special love for her stuffed animal babies and is rarely without one, especially her favorite avocado toy. Olive thrives in a peaceful, loving environment. She is both dog friendly and kid friendly, making her an easy, gentle presence in the home. Her low-energy nature makes her a wonderful companion for quiet evenings, cozy afternoons, and steady routines. Olive does experience anxiety during storms and benefits from patience, comfort, and a calm environment when loud weather rolls in. With reassurance and a safe space, she settles and does best with someone who understands her needs and can offer consistency. She is being re-homed not because of any behavioral issues, but in hopes of finding a home that is an even better fit for her emotional well-being. Olive has so much love to give and is looking for a soft, safe place to land where she can feel secure and cherished.

Story

Meet Taylor Sue Taylor Sue is a beautiful female Pit Bull Terrier with a liver-and-white coat and a heart just as big as her smile. She is a medium-energy, playful, affectionate girl who truly shines when she’s with people.Taylor Sue is dog-friendly and happily runs up to greet other dogs with no issues. She is interested in cats and may chase if given the opportunity. So cats may not like living with Taylor Sue. She does well with children of all ages, though due to her playful and sometimes bouncy nature, a home with older children would be best so no one gets accidentally knocked over. Taylor Sue loves car rides and usually settles right down to relax. She came to her foster home already housebroken and has only had one accident, likely due to being crated longer than usual. She goes into her kennel easily and does wonderfully when crated.Taylor Sue enjoys daily walks, playtime in a large yard, and absolutely loves toys — especially rope toys, balls, and even empty plastic water or soda bottles. She has shown no food or treat aggression and simply wants to be loved, petted, and included.Her story is one of resilience. Taylor Sue was found abandoned in a park in a rough neighborhood, where kind people fed her and kept her safe until help arrived. Despite being left behind, she remained friendly, trusting, and eager for affection — a true testament to her strength and wonderful temperament.Ideal Home:Taylor would thrive with an active person or family. A fenced yard or regular outdoor adventures would be a big plus.Taylor Sue is an amazing, loving dog who has overcome so much and deserves a big second chance. She’s ready to bring joy, fun, and loyalty to the lucky home that chooses her.Could Taylor Sue be your next adventure buddy?Name: Taylor sueBreed: Pit Bull Terrier/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 11 monthsWeight: 50lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Story

Meet Ferb! This enthusiastic little guy is the perfect blend of two great breeds. He is half pit and half husky! Along with his littermates Ferb has grown up with adult dogs of different sizes, cats, and met all kinds of people. He is quite exuberant, and outgoing when meeting new folks, and dogs.

We have found that Ferb enjoys playing fetch, running around at full speed, chewing toys, and also chasing small animals in the yard. He is crate trained, doing great with potty trained, up to date on his vaccines and recently neutered. While he does not enjoy being picked up all that often, when the day is done, he loves nothing more than to cozy into your lap on the couch and settle.
