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! 

Rigsby is an adorable 18-month-old Australian Shepherd looking for his forever home, and he's the perfect companion for any Aussie lover! This playful pup gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children, making him an ideal addition to a family setting. He's well-mannered indoors, as he's house trained, and he walks beautifully on a leash, making outdoor adventures a breeze. Rigsby would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely romp and play, as well as an active household that can keep up with his energetic spirit. He's a social butterfly who adores people and craves being part of a loving family. If you're interested in bringing this gorgeous boy into your life, please fill out an application to schedule a meet and greet with Rigsby. He can't wait to meet you!

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.

This is Frankie!! He's a Bernedoodle. Frankie is only about 1 1/2 but has already experienced lots of trauma. He was abandoned, starving and left outdoors. Likely never being let inside. Frankie is very shy and needs an experienced dog owner that is okay letting him slowly adjust to new people. He needs to learn that not all humans are cruel and he needs to know that he deserves love and can trust people again. His ideal home would have a fenced yard and another confident dog. He likes other dogs and has the potential to be a GREAT DOG!! If you love Doodles, please come meet Frankie. He deserves a chance. 

This sweet girl is Ruby. She's a 5 month old mixed breed dog. She appears to be a Lab/Hound mix but she's small, about 20 lbs. She will probably be around 40l bs full grown.  

She is a lovely little dog, she gets along with other dogs, she would love a home with kids, and she's okay with cats.

Ruby's entire litter was dumped, not a great start. But she's a very good girl and is going to make a great family pet or a wonderful companion for a single person or couple. Come and meet Ruby, you might just fall in LOVE! 

Here's a note from Ruby's foster:

"For anyone looking for an active doggy companion, she is definitely a winner. She loves walks almost as much as she loves snuggles.  We love having her, she is a delight!"

This is Nova.  She has a beautiful espresso chocolate colored coat.  She is friendly and outgoing with humans and dogs of all sizes.  

She loves to play with her foster pack and with her toys. She is great using the training pads and sleeps all night in her crate. She's very smart and is learning commands like come and sit.  

She's a mixed breed dog, probably Lab, but we are not sure what other breeds. We do know that she is mixed with pure cuteness. She's a little doll and will make a wonderful family pet. 

This is what her foster mom has to say a about her:  "She does great in her crate and with training pads. She loves to play with her toys and the other dogs (all sizes, from 4lbs to 60lbs) We have 6 in the home so they are showing her the ropes. She is learning about door etiquette, sit and stay. She does great in the car. She is very curious and brave.  She has been friendly with the children of the family.  She has some food  insecurity so we are using a slow feeder bowl and giving lots of treats and praise so hopefully she will outgrow it. I think that's from being abandoned so young. Overall she's doing great.
I would love for her to find an active home with other puppy friendly dogs. I would classify her as energetic, curious and friendly so she would fit perfectly into an outgoing family."
