Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.UPDATE 4/22/25: Betty has become the best little girl in her foster home, she is thriving with the other 2 dogs there plus going on lots of car rides and meeting new dogs and people everyday! She is crate and nearly housetrained plus minds the invisible fence perfectly! She loves to cuddle on the couch while her foster mom works and then go play chase with the dogs. An absolute perfect girl, ready for a loving family with another dog to romp and wrestle with!  Meet our newest sibling pair, Barney & Betty! The adorable duo were very blessed to have been rescued with their mother and her large litter of pups shortly after their birth in an abandoned barn, in the dead of winter. These good samaritans stepped in to save this group and raised them well with plenty of love and socializing, and now all have found homes besides these final two, whom we answered the call to help. The mother dog was a black lab and we assume dad was a hound of some style.  Brother Barney is so sweet and loving, and very well mannered when asking for your affection. While sister Betty is a true beauty who knows you can't resist those gorgeous hound eyes, and will cuddle into your lap for love. They are both crate and house training beautifully, great with kids, new people, cats, and other dogs. Both all around excellent family pups ready for forever homes of their own!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet little Happ is unfortunately loosing his home due to sudden allergies in his humans, and they are devastated to part with him. He is a wonderful boy who would love a quiet home with a retired couple/person like he's used to. He is fully house and crate trained, although he rarely needs a crate. Happ is okay with other dogs, just shy at first because he doesn't see them very often. Same for kids, he loves them once he warms up, just doesn't see them daily so takes him a minute to settle in. This darling boy is in great health, very loyal and very sad to be loosing his family so we hope to find him the perfect forever home quickly where he can settle in stress free.

Puggle

Size

Story
Milo is a playful, super cute, 2-year-old puggle looking for a loving home. He weighs about 40 pounds, is neutered, potty-trained, up-to-date on all vaccinations & has the cutest curly tail you’ve ever seen. Milo has medium energy, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys an active dog but doesn’t need constant exercise. He still has some puppy energy/habits and could use a home with an experienced dog owner who is able to continue to work with him. Why We Are Rehoming Milo: Unfortunately, Milo has shown discomfort around our 3-year-old child; however, we have not experienced discomfort toward adults or other dogs (he does great at doggie daycare!). We are looking to rehome Milo for no other reason than our belief that he would do best in a home without young children. We are heartbroken to make this decision, but we know Milo will be happiest in a home where he and his human family can feel comfortable and secure!

Story
Meet Bruno! We got sweet Bruno as a tiny pup from an Amish farm in Illinois and he was the last of his litter! Bruno is loving, fun, quirky, and full of energy. He does have moderate anxiety, especially with certain triggers, but with regular exercise, patience, and one-on-one attention, we believe he can thrive. Due to our busy schedules and having two other dogs, we cannot give him the time and focus he needs. Bruno does well on leash walks and responds well to redirection, but he can be territorial in a fenced backyard, especially around neighbor dogs. He is very food-motivated and eager to learn with consistent guidance. We will include his extra-large crate, toys, harness, leash, collar, and vet records. Please note that Bruno may be anxious when adjusting to his new home, but with love and patience, he’ll make a wonderful companion. Bruno knows how to sit, wait for his food until given the command “ok” and he knows the command “go to your crate”
