Story
Ruby has been with us since November of 2023. She, her 7 puppies, and her two sisters, were all taken from a hoarding/squatting situation where they had no shelter, and no heat to keep them warm. Ruby was the best mom and raised her puppies and they have all since been adopted. She has remained in the foster home, as foster mom did not want her to be overly stressed and at risk here in the kennel. One day when all her pups had been adopted in fall of 2024, we believe due to the stress of all her pups being gone and feeling protective over foster mom, Ruby and one of the more dominant dogs in the home got in a minor tussle where Ruby bit her. It did not require stitches, but to insure Ruby and the other dog didn't get into it again, Ruby has been restricted to playing by herself. Her foster mom takes her on walks and lets her out to the backyard for solo play. But all of their crates are in the living room, and no incidents have happened since. Ruby tries to rub up against all of the other dogs except for the one she doesn't like when passing their crates or when they come up to her crate. Ludacris and Missy are in the same foster home and Ruby met them outside of the crates and she did wonderful. We just haven't pushed it since the pups grew bigger than Ruby. Ruby has never tried to go after the resident cat and met her calmly. Ruby is overwhelmed with all the action in the home, and we think she would do best in a home with kids, but less dogs (there are 6 in the same house). She is currently on anxiety meds to help with storms and every day maintenance. She absolutely adores her kids and follows them everywhere. She loves all people and will hit the ground for a belly rub. Ruby is a bit of work, but we know she's such a good girl and deserves a furever home. Ruby loves her foster mom's garden and especially her sunflowers.

Story
This is a very difficult decision for me, but I’m hoping to find the right home for a dog who deserves more time, structure, and attention than I’m currently able to give. I found him abandoned in 2018 and nursed him back to health. What was meant to be temporary quickly turned into love, and he became part of our family. He has ongoing behavioral challenges—particularly aggression toward other male dogs from what i believe is past trauma. Unfortunately, he does not get along with my other dog, and keeping them separated has become extremely stressful for our household. I have recently gone through a separation and now managing two kids and two dogs on my own. Between work, parenting, and the constant management required, I feel he deserves a home where someone can provide the consistent training, structure, and attention he needs. He is very loyal and protective of his people, best suited as the only dog in the home, and needs an experienced dog owner comfortable with large breeds.

If you like the sweet, strong, silent type then I am your guy.I love to cuddle up and spend time with the people I love. The fastest way to my heart is a tennis ball. My love for a tennis ball is above and beyond. I want a tennis ball in bed, on my walks, even in my food bowl. Hey we all have that one thing. Those beautiful yellow tennis balls are mine. Loving my humans comes like second nature to me. I am loyal, and oh so endearing. Not to brag, but my hugs well they are total magic. So if you want someone who can play with you, and love you with all the magic in a little pibble heart. I am 100% your guy, so come fall in love with the sweetest guy around.

I am so special I got to have all of this beautiful black fur. I have been special from the start, and I love to tell you about it. I am a total woman's guy, what can I say I love the attention. Loving me will take a special person for sure. You see I can be a total dude! (Sorry in advance ladies!) When it comes to a towel, well I’ve never met one I don’t love. You will know this because I would love to have one in my mouth all the time. If given the opportunity I will hang on to your jacket sleeve, or hoody strings. Hey, I just like keeping you close, honest! I am honestly a lot, but I promise I am truly worth the headaches, and OMG moments that are sure to come. If anything, I will always keep you entertained.

Story
My daughter recieved this dog from her ex boyfriend when she was 6 months pregnant. We have been desperate to find someone who loves animals and has time and patience to train. He needs to go to a home with no kids or small dogs. Not sure how he would do with bigger dogs. My daughter already had two chihuahuas. We tried a long time ago to reach out to bully rescues and had no luck. They only wanted to give training tips. She is a single mom with a 2 year old now.
