Story

Meet Rico, he is 8 years old and 40 lbs. (he can lose some weight)… His owner has cancer and can longer care for him so he is looking for a new place to love him through the next chapter of his life. Rico is a handsome Aussie/Terrier mix of sorts! If he was a food order he would be ordered as one medium floof nugget, with a side of smiles- tail waggin sized, with all the dippin sauces of happiness. This guy has grins that just won‘t quit, loves him some car rides, enjoys being bribed with treats for tricks, isn’t much of a kisser, and relishes all the attention he deserves to receive. Rico is easy to love, gets along great with dogs and and kids. He walks good on leash and is housebroken and crate trained. He is a true gentleman and is ready for that special person(s) to give him his well-deserved furever home. He is waiting to meet you! Neutered, heartworm tested, recent dental, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption! He is hit and miss with cats so a calm cat that does not do much he would have less of an issue with. An active cat that will hiss and get in his business is not a match. To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $100 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs. All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.November 5, 2025, 6:43 pm

Story

Bindi and her brother Robert are fluffy, energetic Aussiepoo (Australian Shelpherd/Poodle) puppies born 8/19/25. Bindi is the outgoing, more fearless one and she is quite affectionate.

Story

Meet Remy – Your Loyal Ball of Love! Remy is a 4-year-old Collie mix with a heart as big as his fluffy coat (born 2021). This sweet boy may start off shy and cautious in new environments, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his true personality shines through—he’s a total lap dog, cuddle bug, and kisser who wants nothing more than to be close to his person. What Makes Remy Special Housebroken & Crate Trained – He’s got the basics down and thrives with routine. Leash Trained – Walks are a breeze, and he enjoys exploring at his own pace. Crazy Smart – Remy learns quickly and loves showing off the commands he knows. Fetch Fanatic – His absolute favorite game is fetch with his ball—this is the way to his heart! Protective & Loyal – He bonds deeply with his person and will always be by your side. Cuddly Companion – Once he trusts you, he transforms into the sweetest lap dog who loves kisses and snuggles. The Right Home for Remy Remy is looking for a calm, patient home where he can feel secure. He does best with women and would prefer a household without children, as their unpredictability makes him nervous. He’s not aggressive toward people, but he prefers to be the only pet since he can be protective of his food and toys around other dogs. Remy might be okay with a male in the home if given time to warm up and build trust. Personality Notes Timid at first (specifically towards men) but blossoms into a loving, goofy sweetheart. May show submissive urination when nervous or excited—patience and reassurance help him feel safe. Active and playful, but also a devoted snuggler when it’s time to relax. Protective of his person, making him a loyal and trustworthy companion. Takes PRN medication before vet appointments and nail trims to help with stress. Remy isn’t just a dog—he’s a best friend waiting to happen. With patience, love, and plenty of fetch, he’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and a bond like no other. The suggested adoption donation for Remy is $375, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).
