Story

Ava is absolutely AMAZING with kids and people of all ages. She loves humans more than anything and craves deep connection — she wants to be as close to her person as possible at all times. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely, Ava is your girl.She is fully potty trained, rides well in the car, and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced, secure yard where she can burn energy and then come inside for cuddles.Ava cannot live with cats due to high prey drive and is recommended as the only dog in the home. While she has had one carefully built dog friendship, she generally has a strong aversion to other dogs. She will also need some continued work on leash skills.Ava deserves a loving home that will embrace her big heart and give her the connection she craves.February 11, 2026, 8:37 pm

Story

Cowboy is a sensitive, introverted boy with a naturally calm and gentle presence. He’s mellow and thoughtful, forming deep bonds with his people rather than seeking the spotlight. When he feels safe, he lights up with full-body wiggles and the sweetest expression.He is eager to please and highly responsive to guidance. After recent trauma, he may be a bit insecure at first, but with safety, clarity, and consistency, he settles in beautifully.Cowboy can do well with balanced, mature dogs who have calm temperaments. And as a bonus, he’s rocking a natural mohawk that would make Mr. T jealous. Gentle, loyal, and devoted, Cowboy is ready for a home that appreciates a soft, steady soul.February 11, 2026, 6:25 pm

Story

Meet Drake! 💙 Drake is an absolute charmer with a heart as big as his smile. He loves everyone he meets and happily soaks up any attention given to him. Despite a rough start in life, Drake is a joyful, affectionate dog who has quickly learned that not all people are scary—and he’s embracing the good life with enthusiasm. Drake was found wandering a dangerous rural road, narrowly avoiding being hit multiple times. He was extremely thin, frightened, and initially wouldn’t let anyone catch him. Eventually, he chose a home where he felt safe, made himself comfortable, and once he realized the homeowners were kind and feeding him, something clicked. Drake decided people weren’t so bad after all. Sadly, he was never claimed and was likely another dog dumped in the area. The kind family who helped him reached out to us, and that’s how Drake found his way into our rescue. Since arriving, Drake has absolutely blossomed. He’s been fully vetted and vaccinated and is scheduled for his neuter and microchip on 2/12/26. He’s enjoying regular meals, gaining healthy weight, and getting to know the other dogs—doing wonderfully with them. Our vet has him at 11-12 months old. Drake is a smart, eager learner who quickly picked up where it’s appropriate to go potty. He truly wants to please his people and thrives on companionship. He’s happiest when he’s near his humans, soaking up love and being part of the action. We believe Drake may be a mix of German Shepherd with either Australian Shepherd or Belgian Malinois, which fits his intelligence, loyalty, and desire to stay connected to his people. Drake is going to make a fantastic companion for a family or individual looking for a loving, loyal dog who’s ready to start fresh and give his whole heart. If you’re looking for a resilient, affectionate dog who’s overcome the odds and is ready to love deeply, Drake is ready to find his forever home 🐾❤️
