hans 1 year old German Shpherd mix
Heidi is a 1 year old Anatolian Shepherd mix.
She weighs about 90 pounds. She is great with kids and other dogs, and does well on a leash. She is almost house trained, crate trained.
Heidi is a little timid and would do best in a home with giant breed experience, another dog or dogs, and space to run. A hobby farm where she could have a job would be great too.
She's a lovely dog and much too young to be tossed away to live out her life without a family. If you are a large breed lover, please meet our sweet girl Heidi.

Annie 3 or 4 Years old pitt mix
DIESEL 3-4 YEAR OLD MIXED BREED DOG
DIESEL 3-4 YEAR OLD MIXED BREED DOG
Meet our beautiful girl Annie. Annie is a sweet albeit timid girl. Annie gets along very well with calm male dogs and she LOVES puppies. Her favorite pastime is sunbathing.
Annie was abandoned when her owner moved and spent a year living as a stray in a trailer park.
Annie had a litter of puppies with only two who survived until animal control caught her and brought her and her two puppies to us.
The puppies are adopted and Annie is finishing up her heartworm treatment. Annie appears house trained and is good on a leash.
Thankfully, one of our volunteers, takes Annie home once a week to sunbathe in her back yard and play with her male Shepherd. This is what our volunteer Lisa thinks about Annie: "Annie is a sweet girl that loves all dogs and is a little shy around some people at first but really loves to hear her name. She enjoys a car ride and walking in the woods, basking in the sun and dragging her belly through the grass. Great on a leash, crate and house trained. She also really appreciates a nice dog bed and carpet. She truly is just such a happy and loving dog! "
Annie is barrier reactive so she does not do well when people try to meet her in her kennel at the rescue. She will need a privacy fence, leash walks, or lots of land. She is a friendly dog but not behind bars.
Could YOU be the one to give Annie the life she deserves?

DIESEL 3-4 YEAR OLD MIXED BREED DOG
Diesel is the sweetest boy and deserves the best most loving home!
He spent his life on a chain until he was finally abandoned when his family moved and left him behind to die.
Despite the horrible treatment ihe suffered in the past, he is a gentle, loving, and trusting dog.
He gets along with most other dogs, but can be dog selective. He's good on leash and loves adventures. He probably needs some help with house training, as he now lives in an outdoor kennel but he tried to keep his kennel clean.
He's around 40-45lbs and all LOVE.
He would love a home where he's part of the family and never has to know fear, neglect, or pain again. Please open your heart and home to this wonderful dog.
Valentina 7 years old
Eliza 8 years old aussie mix
Eliza 8 years old aussie mix
This is Valentina. We rescued her from Panama where she was a stray dog facing the worst conditions imaginable.
She has been in the states for around 6 months now and is ready to move into a loving home.
She's a mixed breed dog, around 30-35 lbs. She is house trained, crate trained and she does pretty well on a leash. She LOVES leisurely walks. She's not a great car rider.
Despite her former life of abuse and neglect, she is a gentle and loving little dog and very easy to love and care for. She is timid and a little skittish but she's obedient and sweet and really just wants to be loved.
She's an easy dog, she doesn't ask for much but she'd love to be in a home with other dogs and she'd love to have a fenced yard.
We suspect her discomfort with being on a leash comes from being tied up, maybe for years.
She loves to lay in the sun on the front porch or nap inside on her dog bed. She never asks to get on the couch or the bed and is happy to lay at your feet.
She sits politely and waits for her breakfast and dinner and does a little happy dance when it's ready to eat.
She quietly comes to nuzzle your hand to ask for heard scratched and belly rubs.
She's not a barker unless a stranger comes up to the gate, then she lets her BIg Dog bark out until she knows that there's no threat.
Please consider meeting Valentina, you might find that her calm presence, gentle demeanor, and huge heart are just what you've been looking for in a furry companion.

Eliza 8 years old aussie mix
Our sweet Eliza needs a home. After several years in her former home, her owners dropped her off at the animal shelter when she became inconvenient and got a different dog. We couldn't let her stay there and knew she needed some extra attention and the right home.
Eliza is an Aussie mix. She is house trained and leash trained and needs a home where she has room to run in a secure and safe area.
She is very loving and prefers a human who is home all the time with her or will take her with them. She loves to be near people. And she would love a male dog companion.
We have worked with her on her anxiety and with a little patience and time, she is a different dog. We just need to find her the right home. We don't want her to spend her life in a cage at the rescue.
If you've ever been let down by someone you love and trust, been tossed aside like an old newspaper, maybe you can help Eliza heal. She is a wonderful dog with so much love to give.
