Story
🐾 Meet North 🐾 Born: July 2025 North is a bright, energetic boy who is just stepping into his teenage phase and ready to take on the world with a real family by his side. He and his brother were heartbreakingly tossed aside like litter once they were no longer tiny and convenient, but it’s clear these pups once knew love — and they crave it deeply. North came into rescue without leash manners or structure, but don’t let that fool you — this boy is smart. With consistency and positive guidance, he’s already doing wonderfully on leash and thriving in doggy daycare. He’s the more energetic of the two brothers and would be a fantastic match for an active family or individual who enjoys walks, adventures, and mental enrichment. He rides well in the car, loves attention, and is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. North would shine in a home ready to continue his training and help guide him through this fun (and sometimes goofy) teenage stage. In return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to belong.

Story
🐾 Meet South 🐾 Born: July 2025 South is a sweet, intelligent boy with a loving heart and a thoughtful soul. Like his brother, South was abandoned once he became “too big” and inconvenient — yet he still seeks affection and connection, proving just how loving he truly is. South is doing beautifully in doggy daycare and has made great progress learning leash skills and basic structure. While he has a playful, energetic puppy side, he’s a touch more laid-back than North and balances activity with cuddle time. He’s eager to learn, rides well, and is expected to be a medium-sized dog once grown. South would make a wonderful family companion or adventure buddy for someone who wants a smart, affectionate dog to grow alongside. He’s transitioning from puppyhood into adolescence and would love to experience that milestone in a home where he’s cherished, guided, and truly part of the family.

Story
Sully from our “Monster's Inc.” litter may look like a big, fluffy “scarer,” but don’t let that fool you, this sweet boy is all heart. He is 7 months old and is an Australian Shepherd mixed breed. Sully is still young and while he can be a little shy at first, it doesn’t take long for his gentle, affectionate side to shine through. Once he feels safe, he leans in for love and will happily stick by your side like your own personal (very handsome) shadow. Sully would thrive in a home that understands he just needs a little time to settle in. He’s been through more than most puppies his age (he was found after being dumped in the middle of nowhere, he and his siblings bravely made their way to safety). Because of this, he would do best in a home with kids 12+ and would absolutely benefit from having another dog around to help build his confidence. With a little patience, Sully is going to grow into the most loyal, loving companion.
