Story
Meet Luke – Our Senior Sweetheart! 🐾 Luke may have a salt-and-pepper face, but his heart is pure gold. This gentle 10-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog has made the long trip from out of state in hopes of finally finding a soft spot to land — a calm, loving home where he can kick back, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy his golden years in peace. Luke is all about the simple things: quiet strolls, cozy naps, and the occasional belly rub (okay, frequent belly rubs). He’s got that wise old soul energy that makes you instantly feel at ease in his presence. Whether he's lounging by your feet or giving you those big, soulful eyes, Luke has a way of making every moment feel special. After spending far too long in the shelter system, Luke is more than ready to leave kennel life behind and trade it for the comforts of home — maybe yours? If you're looking for a loyal companion who’s low-key, loving, and full of heart, Luke might just be your perfect match. Let’s give this senior the golden retirement he deserves. 💛

Ashley’s story is one of survival and second chances. She came to us from Korea, where she was rescued from the meat market, and now she’s looking for the loving family she’s always deserved.

Story
The Drunken Beagles came to us after being rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding case where 45 beagles (including a litter of puppies) were discovered living together in a single garage. Their world had been small and crowded, filled with the sounds and smells of dozens of other dogs but not much else. Most had never felt grass beneath their paws, slept on a bed, or experienced the warmth of human care. Despite their past, these dogs are resilient. Many were fortunate enough to go straight into generous foster homes after transfer to our shelter, where they’re already starting to learn about safety, comfort, and companionship for the very first time. Adopting a dog from a hoarding situation can be one of the most challenging — and rewarding — experiences in rescue. These dogs are learning about life from the ground up: that hands can be gentle, food will always come, leashes can mean adventure, and people can be trusted. Everyday sights and sounds — stairs, vacuums, even televisions — may feel strange or scary at first. Progress can be slow, but watching them open up is nothing short of extraordinary. Reports from our fosters so far are that the Drunken Beagles are quickly becoming more comfortable, exploring their new digs, eating solid meals, and a few even playing with the resident dogs in the home. The Drunken Beagles will need a calm, stable environment and adopters who understand that progress can be slow but so rewarding. They’re flight risks and will require extra care with secure handling, double leashing, and careful introductions to new people and spaces. Once they learn that home is safe, they return that trust tenfold — often becoming the most loyal, affectionate companions you could imagine. If your heart has room for a dog who’s never truly known what “home” feels like, one of the Drunken Beagles might just be ready to raise a glass to a brand-new start with you. And who knows... maybe you'll decide to order two drinks while you're at it. The ladies: Chardonnay, Stella Rose, Bloody Mary, Dirty Martini, Margarita, Mimosa, Mojito, Pink Whitney, and Sex on the Beach. The gentlemen: Beat Box, Buzz Ball, Coors, Daiquiri, Fireball, Piña Colada, Cosmopolitan, Gin, Johnny Walker, Martini, Monaco, Negroni, Sour, Tequila Sunrise, Tom Collins, and Whiskey. All are Beagle mixes estimated to be between one and six years old.
