Story
Molly originally came from a shelter that has now closed down and was then given away on Facebook to a young family with cats. Unfortunately that family didn’t realize Molly very much does not like cats or any other kinds of animals that are in her old lady business. She’s said to be fine with other dogs that have manners with her. We think Molly would do best in a quiet home with older or no children and definitely no cats or rambunctious dogs. She’s absolutely wonderful and loves love and attention! She will be your best movie buddy on the couch and won’t have any accidents in the house as she is perfectly potty trained as long as you make sure you’re around to let her out. She’s very food motivated and knows all of the basics including sit, down, shake. Fill out an app if you think Molly would be a great addition to your quiet home!!

Story
Caroline was removed from a neglect situation where she lived with another dog, cats, lizards and small furry creatures. She is such a pleasant girl and is an absolute pleasure to have around! She keeps a clean kennel and bonds fast to her humans. She loves to do whatever it is that you’re doing and has been a fantastic addition to our backyard play group. Caroline has helped us as we’ve rehabbed several puppy mill dogs and has done an outstanding job teaching those dogs how to be dogs. We adore her, but we would be even happier to see her in her forever home with a family to love her like she deserves!

Story
Chase is a super sweet boy that wants a home with some older kids to play with and a big fenced in yard...grand kids would also work as he just loves most people. He loves to chase leaves and toys..doesn't bring them back...which is why he loves the leaves more as he can just keep running with them in the wind!! He is only 2 years old said to be house trained but please keep in mind he will need some refresher training. We made a promise to his former owner that loves hime very much that we'll will find the very best fit for him. She is incredibly sad that due to health issues she is unable to care for him. He does have a cherry eye that comes and goes currently the vet feels it doesnt bother him and it can be left alone.

Story
UpDate: this wonderful dog has been waiting 2 years for a family and everyone that meets him doesn't know why?!?! He spent 2months at a training program just for fun to get him out of the shelter and he was amazing as we knew he would be. He had a large play group of dogs all sizes. They said he is very well trained inside and crate trained. He was DNA tested 60% GSD and pitty mix. His personality is very Shepherd like..he just has an beautiful brindle pitty coat. He has been very careful of children...not always adults bit he was great while staying with my sister and small niece. Please share this post and help this beautiful boy find a family!!! This is the coolest dog...just the freaking coolest!! And sooooo smart, his smarts have gotten him in trouble from day 1. He was turned into a shelter with his sister as puppies and he was transfered to another shelter. He waited there over a year and was recently moved to out shelter. ***We would LOVE to see him get a job in detection work!!** he loves to work!! He way too smart to be kennels and waiting has been very hard on him. He's very sweet with people just doesn't quite know his size which is why we said not good with children he's not aggressive just more of a bulldozer. Same with other dogs he's ALOT and intense from all the pent up energy. We are looking for the perfect fit for this guy is you feel you have a life waiting for him please contact us to get the application process going it's painless I promise and he is soooo worth it

Story
Sugar is a 9mo old lab bully mix..alot more lab than bully and she's a big girl! She was loved but never exposedto the world outside of her home resulting in alot of fear..her go to is to drop to the ground and hope to the heavens that no one can see her. We are working on just walking with a leash and that's a huge ask for her..she does make progress every day. She needs a family that can help her..the biggest need is time and patience. Of you can give her alot of time fo4 a few months she will be perfect havi g a guide dog (calm and confident dog to lead her and help her learn normal dog behavior) she loves peopleand kids but does not know her size and she is very strong especially when frightened and her flight instinct kicks in. Sh3 needs a family ready to help her and give her the best life. Please contact us for your adoption application she has 6 siblings also looking for homes.

Story
Jack has SEVER food allergies, very easily managed by staying on a grain free diet. It took us about a month to get him undercontrol and he was so sore and sad and miserable and to be honest very angry..if I was covered in sores like he was I would be angry too. Sadly when we sent him to out little dog foster home they feed a very good food but it has rice in it and he flared up instantly his skin turns bright red and he breaks out in blisters is very itchy. We got him back to the shelter and with in a couple days he was better again so this is very very serious for his well-being. Jack needs a home that can cater to his needs help him live his best life. If you want to care for this sweet little boy please reach out for you're adoption application.
