adopt a dog

Meet 3 year old Axel. He was tied to a tree for his whole life.  His owner’s brother in law saved him and brought him to us.

All Axel knew was the 10 feet around a tree, that was his whole world.

Axel was shell shocked when he came to the rescue.  But now he knows that he can trust humans again. He gets along with other dogs and is a very sweet boy.  He's doing great in foster and learning how to just be a dog, not a prisoner. But, he needs a forever home.
Please someone gIve this boy a chance! Doesn't he deserve a loving home and some kindness? Help us change his life!! 

Meet Shelby. He's a 2 year old hound mix.  Poor Shelby was found as a stray dog. We don't know how he came to be all alone on the streets, maybe he was put out by an owner or escaped a situation where he was tied out constantly? He can't tell us. 

But he is a friendly dog! He loves people and other dogs. He's smart and willing to learn. He's working on being fully house trained- we suspect he's never lived in a loving home. 

This guy deserves a better life. If you love hounds, please consider meeting our sweet boy Shelby. He will make a great family dog or a companion that will love riding around with you or just hanging out. 

This gorgeous girl is Eliza. She is a mixed breed dog of a Livestock Guardian variety.  5 year old Eliza has been failed by humans her entire life. She was abused as a puppy and ended up at the county shelter, adopted by a family that let her roam the neighborhood unsupervised. After several years in their home, they dropped her back off at the shelter.  Now she is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety, not surprising after what she's been through.  She will need a special family to love her. Please don't let her live out her life at a rescue. 

She is house trained, leash trained, VERY Smart, loves car rides and gets along with other dogs, especially male dogs. She has lots of energy and would do well in a family with a fenced yard and older kids or a single person or couple with a fenced yard that has an active lifestyle. She LOVES to be outside and likes to stay out there most of the time, so a fenced or secured area is a must for this girl. She tries to heard younger children on trikes. bikes, scooters, etc. So she would do best in a home with older kids, or kids that need to be herded.  She likes to protect her people and her property.  One of  our volunteers took her home so she could have a break from the rescue and says:  "she is is an amazing, smart and loveable dog."  If you have land and love Livestock Guardian Dogs, Eliza could be your girl.  

Meet Thomas.  He's a very good boy! He's smart, he knows "sit" "come" and "down". He loves to play and loves walks. He's very sweet and as you can see, he's great with other dogs and kids. He needs a family that loves him, he will be your best boy and loyal companion forever! He would do well in almost any family.  Thomas is only around 1 year old, maybe less. He's already been failed by humans. 

He's a Boxer mix,  around 50lbs or less. Thomas is a beautiful dog with a sweet face and trusting eyes. You can tell that he just wants to be loved! 

Here's Dottie!!!

Dottie is a bouncy Boxer mix who adores cuddling! She's around  2 years old and a perfect medium sized dog,  just under 50 lbs. She is friendly with everyone, including dogs and young children, and she likes cats!

Dottie  is both crate trained and housebroken.  

This clever pup follows basic commands, has excellent manners, and has a sweet, playful nature. She knows how to "sit," "stay," and "come," and enjoys playing with other dogs while being close to her humans.

Dottie truly is a wonderful, fun loving girl looking for a loving home.

This is from Dottie's foster has to say:

She is housebroken and enjoys being in her crate and likes to hoard her dog toys in it.  She enjoys walks but will need to be leash trained properly to hone her skills!

She is intelligent, loving, playful, and FULL of a tremendous amount of bouncy boxer energy. Her ideal family will need to be patient and consistent and have the time to help her work through the “bounce” for her manners to be on point – she is highly trainable. She has been visited by a 2-year old and a 10- year old and enjoyed their company. She loves chasing a ball – but not so much bringing it back!  She has not been completely cat tested, but a single encounter went well.

She would be best suited to older children (5+) because of her bounce and would do best in a fenced yard so she can go crazy with zoomies! She enjoys being outside with her people or dog friends but will bark if left in the yard alone for very long. She is also a very good watch dog and will alert when strangers come on to the property.

When she isn’t zooming around, she is a HUGE cuddler. She loves to be on your lap soaking up love. She is incredibly affectionate, loyal,  and loves her people.
