Story
We are a small local rescue in operation for 2 years. We found Ms. Petra running loose in our neighborhood with who we assume is her mom. She was thin and skiddish and very cautious of people in general. We've had her since September 2025. Since that time, we have worked tirelessly to build trust and security to ease her anxiety. We named her Petra because she simply was petrified of EVERYTHING. Progress has definitely been made. She comes when called, she kennels when commanded to, she stays close on leash and she has overall become more confident and a lot less shy/scared. She is the sweetest girl. Very tender, and submissive. She would benefit from a home with patience, routine, and an abundance of love to give. She is a cuddlebug and loves to be held or in your lap. According to our vet, Petra looks to be around and year old and weighs appropriately 10lbs. She is still thin despite putting on some weight since being here with us. She's a work in progress and that work would need to continue in her new forever home as well. She is very shy to say the least. She has done well with our 3 small kids and other dogs in our pack. She mostly stays out of the way. Petra loves treats and she loves belly rubs. When she's being pet, her eyes squint and her tounge licks her lips in utter satisfaction. For her, it's as if there's nothing better in life than petting and being talked to like a sweet little baby. Petra is an escape artist and has managed to get out of her enclosure one way or another. Her only reason for escape is to be close to you. Her adoption fee is $200. It covers vaccines and cost of care up until now. Petra is affectionate and worth loving. Inquire today!!

Story
We run a small rescue from home. This is our 2nd year. Approx. 48 dogs adopted. Help us keep it going! We rescued Chunks mom off the street. No collar, no chip. A few days after rescue, we noticed she was actually pregnant. Chunk is 1 of 4. All his siblings have found homes. He's the biggest of them all at approx 12lbs. Chunky boy loves to play. He is smart and attentive. You can often find him investigating life. He loves new smells, friends, and treats. Chunk loves other dogs big and small. He is a character, and a very lovable one at that. He is high energy but willing to settle when you are. He is doing great at using the pee pad and he sleeps through the night. He's fully vaccinated and ready for forever. Adoption fee is $200. Interested in making his forever? Reach out.

Story
Maple is sweet. We found her abandoned in our neighborhood. She was pregnant and delivered a litter of 4 2weeks after we rescued her. She was great at nursing the puppies and a very patient mother. She loves to go on walks and she loves cuddles. She is not aggressive but is assertive and confident. She does well with our other dogs and with our 3 small kids. Maple is smart and shakes her head when trying to communicate. She loves bones and running up and down hills. She kennels up for the night without issue. She is a sweet dog ready for sweet love. Maple is vaccinated but not fixed yet. Her adoption fee is 200. Inquire today.

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rayla is 1 year old, we got her when she was 6 weeks old. She is attached to my 11year old and loves to go on walks/runs with her. She is very playful with my 11yo. She has become aggressive towards my two younger children (2&4) she will try to bite at them just because they walked/ran past her playpen. She barks a lot if outside people come into our home. She is very protective over my 11yo when they go out for a walk. We have tried training her with all my kids present and only worked for my older daughter. She can be loving towards the two little ones if she’s off leash but it switches pretty quickly even when they are extra gentle with her. I would like to keep her but cannot risk my kids getting actually bitten. I would prefer her to go to an experienced pet owner. No kids, I wouldn’t want to risk anything happening. She has been around other dogs, she does fine for the first couple minutes, but then either gets skiddish or goes on the defense.
