Its truly amazing to see the progress Raphael has made with his trainer. When he first arrived, he had been through so much and was in such rough shape. Despite it all, he has remained incredibly sweet. Raphael is a truly wonderful dog with a big heart. He responds so well to commands, sitting obediently and taking treats gently. It's heart warming to witness Raphael's transformation and see him thriving! This lovable boy is more than ready to find his furever home.   If you are interested in Raphael please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adoptApril 4, 2025, 1:21 pm

Story
Meet Duke! A two year old Mastiff mix that is looking for his forever family. In the home he is house broken, crate trained, and loves to be with his humans. As an XL breed dog, he could still use some reinforcement of basic manners. He's very strong on leash and tends to jump and get a little mouthy when he plays or gets excited. A family with large breed experience that is willing to invest some time and energy into basic training would be ideal. Another requirement would be no children under 10. Outside the home, Duke is a tad insecure and can be slightly reactive to new dogs. After a quick introduction, however, he does great (especially with female dogs). He can, however, tend to get too excited and possessive over toys so a family that can maintain boundaries in their home would be required. As for cats... this big boy LOVES them and would have no problem sharing his space with a dog savvy feline. If you are interested in Duke please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adoptable-dogs/adoption-application/March 24, 2025, 4:21 pm

Story
Callum is a lover boy!  He loves to be by your side and will follow you around the house.  He melts into you while sitting close.  He loves going for walks and is great in the car.  He loves getting his zoomies out and runs laps around the backyard.  He is super athletic and his build is on the small side.  He gets compliments wherever he goes because he has beautiful eyes.  When we picked him up from the shelter he was extremely head-shy and was scared to walk through doorways.  He has come along way.  He is happy once he knows he is safe.  Callum would do best with someone who is home a lot and would prefer to be an only dog.  Has some separation anxiety.  Would do wonderful in an agility class.  He can jump (bounce) high.  He has a high prey drive.     If you are interested in Callum please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adoptable-dogs/adoption-application/April 4, 2025, 12:59 pm

Roxy is a beautiful and energetic 8 1/2 year old Boxer Brindle that has so much more life to live. Unfortunately my kids have all grown up and are busy with their own lives, and my husband has developed allergies to dog hair. If you’re looking for an easy going best friend, who never barks and gives sloppy kisses, look no further!!
