Story
Meet Meri, an Australian Shepherd mix who is ready for her furever home. Meri is a brave, sweet, and resilient little lady. She was rescued from a breeder hoarding 62 dogs in Oklahoma, and now under our care, she is showing just how big her tiny heart really is. Meri is blind in her left eye and has partial eyesight in her right. For this reason, she enjoys the warm comfort of cuddling with other dogs, making a forever home with other pups a must. She would also thrive in a quiet setting, preferably with pawrents who work from home and have a yard she feels comfortable exploring as she learns to trust the world around her. In addition to other dogs, Meri loves exploring trails from her safe perch inside her backpack, soft pets, sniffing outside, chew toys, and being carried. She loves being a sidekick – whether she’s hanging with other dogs or with her human friends, she does best in others’ company. She has been exposed to other dogs, cats, and children and done good with all, though a less chaotic household will be the best fit for her given her blindness. Despite what Meri has endured by humans the last seven years, she is amazingly sweet. Her foster reports that she loves to be close and snuggled up in your safe arms, or in a doggy sling. This angel also doesn’t chew or destroy anything. All Meri needs is your gentle touch and she’ll be ready to keep you warm all winter long!

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gracie and her brother were my 2025 Mother’s Day presents. I received from an elderly lady who told me both were boys. ((At a vet visit, I was told Gracie was a girl!!!)) She’s loving and a beautiful girl- I just can’t maintain 2 dogs. Neighbors have complained & she deserves a high energy person who needs an adventuresome dog. When I thought she had behavioral issues- I discovered I was the one with the issues when my high energy son took her for me for about a month. She came back calm. I also wasn’t prepared to raise 2 sibling puppies. I won’t do that again! She’s a beautiful girl. I want her rehomed with that person who runs or power walks. What I remember the most is when I fell some months ago. She knew I was in distress. She laid on my legs in a way that comforted me as I felt super silly for how it happened. She laid tight there with me until I could get up.

Story
We’ve had Cosmo for 4 years and have absolutely loved having him but with our growing family (had baby 2 months ago) we are sad to say he will not longer fit our family. We rescued Cosmo from anti cruelty society 4 years ago and they thought he was about 8 months old at the time. He is a Border Collie mix. We had one other dog at the time when we rescued him and they got along well until we lost our other dog to cancer almost 2 years ago. Cosmo does not have a bite history but he does come with behavioral issues and takes management. We have been working with a trainer all 4 years and got him into agility a year ago where he has been thriving. He struggles with resource guarding and has stranger danger. He growls when he feels uncomfortable or unsafe. He has fear of other dogs - other than our other dog we had, we avoiding engaging with dogs at the dog park or on walks due to his reactivity. He is “finicky” and can be difficult but when you earn his trust - he is incredibly lovable.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart
