Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tiny is ready for her new home!  She is an 8 year old English Bulldog and is a not so tiny 60 pounds! Tiny came to us when her family was no longer able to care for her and her sister.   Tiny embodies the quintessential characteristics of her breed - she's delightfully lazy, remarkably stubborn, and undeniably bossy, if given the chance! Despite these quirks, she has a heart of gold and is incredibly affectionate. There's one thing that truly gets her excited - her treats, especially when it's cheese time in her foster home!  One look at Tiny's face when it's time for a walk or a car ride, and you'll see pure joy. She loves getting baths and jumps into the tub, sitting patiently as she gets scrubbed up, relishing her very own spa day. Tiny is nicely crate trained and goes right in when asked.  She is also house trained, although she may need a gentle nudge in the morning due to her reluctance to rise and shine. Unfortunately, Tiny has a strong dislike for cats and will not hesitate to chase them, so a feline-free home is a must. As for other dogs, she generally gets along with them, except for the more boisterous types. It is on her terms, so an owner who is familiar with bullies would be ideal. Tiny is great with kids, but she can't handle the energy of very young children. Therefore, we believe that kids in her new home should be at least 12 years old. If you have small children visiting, she will gladly take a nap in her crate while they are there!  Tiny came to us with some skin and ear/eye infections, which is very typical for English Bulldogs (EBDs). Her food was immediately switched to a fish-based diet and that has been a great help. She cannot have chicken or lamb. Her skin is still healing but with consistent bathing and time, it will be fine. Tiny also had a fatty mass (it was tested!). Tiny is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $500Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 11:29 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet as her name, Strawberry is ready for her new home!  Strawberry is a 2 year old Shiba Inu that was recently released from a breeder.     Strawberry is a beautiful girl! She is smart and is already adjusting well to her foster home. She loves being outside and is eager to explore the yard or relax in the fall sunshine. Strawberry gets along well with other dogs and would thrive in a home with another dog for companionship and learning.   She is making good progress with her housetraining and has had only a few accidents. Although she is not yet leash trained, she is working on it. At this stage, she will need a fully fenced yard. Strawberry is very intelligent and is curious about what lies beyond the gate and door.    She is food motivated and particularly enjoys her treats, especially cheese. Once she gets to know her people, she becomes affectionate and eager to please! Strawberry is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $500Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 6, 2024, 3:47 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Winter, the adorable Westie who's ready to find her forever home! With her long tail, she may have a little mix in her, but one thing’s for sure: she’s a sweet girl! At 2 years old and weighing in at 13 pounds, she's just the right size for snuggles.   Winter comes from a breeding facility, so everything in the big world is new and exciting for her! She’s already picking up on so many new things in her foster home, like climbing stairs and the bliss of being outside. It’s important for her new family to be patient and supportive, as she'll need a little extra help as she navigates her new life.   This lovely girl is crate-trained but still learning to walk on a leash. She’s great with other dogs, having spent lots of time with her furry friends. Winter is also working on her house training and getting used to potty pads.    Winter adores attention from people and is always ready for some love! She would thrive in a home with another dog to help her discover just how wonderful being a pampered pet can be. Could you be the loving family she's been waiting for? Winter is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $475Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2024, 10:59 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Happy Harvest, affectionately known as Harvey or Santa's Little Helper! This sweet and playful guy is ready to find his forever home. Harvest is a charming mix of who knows what, giving him a unique style—his ears are adorable and quite the conversation starter, and he sports a fun little tail that will surely make you smile!  He is listed as a lab mix on his paperwork but we don't know about that.  At just 1 year old and weighing 25 pounds, he’s the perfect size for cuddles and adventures. Harvey is a sweet dog who made the journey to us from Texas, and he's adjusting wonderfully to the snow and cold! He has a blast running and playing in it! Currently, he enjoys the comfort of a fully fenced yard at his foster home, so he'll need one in his forever home too due to not being leash trained.  While Harvey isn't quite leash trained yet and wasn't thrilled when we tried to work on that, it's a skill that can be developed with love and patience. The good news is that he’s crate trained! Harvey gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and loves to snuggle up with them for cozy naps. We haven't had the chance to see how he interacts with kids, but we’re optimistic that he would do just fine!  With his playful spirit and eagerness to please, we just know that Harvey will bring so much joy to the right family! Harvey is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, and tested neg. for heartworm.  His adoption fee is $450Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 2, 2024, 4:47 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Ashley is a 6 year old mini Bernerdoodle and weighs about 35 pounds.  She was recently released from a breeder and is now enjoying her retirement as a spoiled dog!   Ashley  has the sweetest disposition you could want for your family. She is crate trained and almost housetrained.  She is motivated by treats and affection, so with consistent training she will be a quick learner.  She loves to be outside and is not eager to come indoors, no matter the weather.  She is doing very well on a leash but it is still new to her so expect some additional training.  Ideally, she would prefer a fenced yard so she can be outdoors as much as possible!  Ashley does well with children and other dogs, but would be happy as an only dog as long with someone that will give her the attention she loves. She would be best in a home where she can take walks and play, but not be by herself for extended periods of time.  She is not destructive but will get into mischief if she can.  She enjoys a good chew toy and a comfy bed.  Ashley is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated, and tested neg. for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $500  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 9, 2024, 9:32 am
