Marley is a sweet dog but needs a home without other pets or children. She is a great lap dog and wants love all day. We have a toddler and she doesn't get as much love as she used to before he was here. She needs a home who can give her the attention she deserves. She loves walks and goes potty outside.

Story
Looking for a loyal companion that is always eager to be where the action is? Meet Ava, a happy-go-lucky, 7-year-old sweetheart who thrives on her human companionship. She is the perfect mix of laid-back and playful. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch or fetching sticks in the backyard, Ava’s always up for some fun (but she’s just as happy to relax by your side). Ava’s a bit of a diva when it comes to her social circle, so she would do best in a home where she is the only dog. She’s eager to explore and is a strong puller on the leash. Some training will be helpful for enjoyable walks together. Ava also has a chicken allergy and is working through some ear and skin issues, likely the result of past neglect. But with proper care and attention, she’s well on her way to a healthier, happier life. * 60 lbs and approximately 7 years old * Housebroken and non-destructive * Doesn’t require frequent potty breaks * Trustworthy when left alone * Loves head scratches, playing fetch, and being near her humans * Rarely barks * Chicken Allergy * Currently undergoing skin and ear infection treatments with help from her foster If you’re ready for a loving, one-on-one relationship with a dog who will adore you, Ava could be your perfect match. (Born 2018)

Story
Meet Remy! Remy is a sweet-as-pie 3-year-old pittie mix who pretty much loves everyone she meets. At a perfect 45 pounds, she’s the ideal medium-sized sidekick for couch lounging and outdoor adventures. Remy would be happiest as the only dog in her future home—she had a rough time with a past dog sibling—but she’s been nothing but friendly and polite with the dogs she’s met while in foster care. She’s house-trained, respectful in the home, and an expert couch-napper while her foster parents are out. (She might gather a few shoes and bring them up to snuggle with… but she never chews them. She’s just a quirky little collector!) Remy’s favorite things include: ✨ Any ball she can get her paws on ✨ Going for walks ✨ Learning new things—she’s super smart! ✨ Kisses, cuddles, and being close to her people She’s a strong girl and can pull on leash, but she’s already improving and eager to keep learning. If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, snuggly companion with the softest heart, Remy is your girl. 💛 (Born March 2023)

Story
Meet Brady! He’s a sweetie! He is very playful with a fun personality. He loves to cuddle and great with kids. Brady is kennel trained and will even go to his kennel on command. He is house trained but asks to go out by just standing at the door, so you do have to pay attention to that. He enjoys playtime, walks, and running in the yard. He is good with other dogs. He is working on tricks and is learning quickly. Brady would make a wonderful family dog or a one on one best friend!

Story
Sweet MAEVE is proof that learning to be loved after so many years and disappointments can take a bit. We are not out of the woods but we are getting close! Maeve means "the cause of great joy" and I am hoping that she will be someone's greatest joy til the end of her days. Also, her pure joy still shines through even after people have let her down so horribly. We are waiting on blood work. She does have a heart murmur (not unusual in an older dog). She has gained some much needed weight and best of all.....she was released for a BATH. I love giving a foster the first bath in rescue. You can see the calm and change as their old life is washed away making room for a fresh new start. Maeve enjoyed the warm water and the oatmeal shampoo. She is now snoring on her bed! More to come!
