Story
I am looking for a suitable new home for Oso, a huge hearted three-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix. He has a uniquely sweet disposition, shy demeanor, protective nature and affectionate personality. He would do well with land/acreage and with a bit more training, he would be a great guard dog for chickens/livestock. He LOVES being outdoors but sleeps indoors and will also include a large kennel. Let me know if you have any questions! ☺️

Story
Bindi is a happy, outgoing leader and is such a sweetheart. She would love nothing more than to lounge around or hang out on your lap all day. If you need to go out, she calmly waits and will greet you excitedly when you return. She and her sister have been doted on and cared for by my mother for 11 years. Mom is now about to turn 80 and has moved to an assisted living where pets are not allowed. I would love for Bindi and her sister, Boo, to stay together and find their forever home. Please reach out with any questions, thank you!

Story
Say hi to Luna! Luna is an adorable smooth fox terrier mix who is approximately 4-1/2 years old & was sadly bounced around a fair amount at a young age. She currently weighs about 35 lbs, is tall & wiry, & boy can she jump! This little gal can jump five to six feet in the air from a stand still, & she is also extremely fast! We think Miss Luna would make a great agility dog if someone was willing to put in the time to work with her. Still a youngster, she is very playful, full of energy & smart as a whip! Luna loves spending time in the yard, running & playing both with the other dogs & by herself. She has a great time playing ball all by herself at times! Luna is a very sweet girl who loves everybody, especially kids! She also gets along well with other dogs. She is not a dominant personality, but is also not super submissive; she falls pretty solidly in between & easily submitted to our pack elders, but she isn’t afraid to correct a dog she thinks isn’t acting right! Luna is food motivated & LOVES treats! She is housebroken, crate-trained, & good on leash. She is also fully vetted (spayed, de-wormed, heartworm negative, up-to-date on all vaccinations) including microchip with lifetime registration. This silly, affectionate little girl is sooo ready for her forever home after being in our rescue for over three years for no good reason! A securely fenced yard & a young playful sibling are required for Luna’s adoption. Adoption fee is $150. Verbal interview, home check, vet reference & adoption contract required.

Story
I found Whiskey and his 9 siblings on a very busy road in the country, talked around to neighbors and found the “owners” who were just feeding them but not keeping them contained. So, I rescued the whole litter and working on getting them all UTD on vaccinations, spay/neuter, wellness exam, heartworm neg. and microchipped. Every single one of the pups are SO SO sweet and docile! They are all living in my backyard with adequate shelter during this time. Looking for rescue or direct adoption.

Story
Lady is a very loving dog with lots of energy, she is kennel trained. She is about 2 years old give or take a month or so, she did not have the best of beginnings before my ex husband took her from the people who had her. She is very shy and timid and will pee when meeting new people but boy oh boy once she's comfortable with you she will be all over you. She loves cuddles and belly rubs and playing fetch. She is food aggressive around other animals, but she's good with other pets if they can handle her excitement. I need to find her a home soon, she is kennel trained.
