Story
🖤 Meet Cassidy — A Loyal Heart Ready to Love Again 🖤 Cassidy came back to us on November 1st, 2024, after the sudden passing of her beloved owner. She's approximately 9½ years old, a beautiful Black Lab mix, weighing 78 lbs, spayed, and fully up-to-date on all vaccinations. Despite her age, Cassidy is full of life and love. She’s playful and gentle with her toys, enjoys a good game of tug-o-war, and thrives on puzzle games that challenge her smart mind. Cassidy also has a softer side — she absolutely adores blankets and cuddle time. Cassidy is: ✔️ House trained ✔️ Walks calmly on leash ✔️ Non-reactive to other dogs and people on walks ✔️ Quiet and observant indoors — she rarely barks, even at dogs barking outside While Cassidy coexists peacefully with other dogs in public, she truly thrives in a home where she is the only dog. She enjoys attention and affection so much, she prefers not to share her humans. She may play with other dogs under supervision, but likely never learned appropriate dog-to-dog play etiquette. Cassidy is a loving, affectionate companion who will gently nudge your hand for more pets and belly rubs. She's eager to share her golden years with someone who will appreciate her sweet soul and give her the loving home she so deserves. 💛 Cassidy would be a perfect companion for a single-person household or a couple looking for a calm, affectionate dog to share their life with. Can you give Cassidy the peaceful, loving forever home she’s been waiting for? Apply today and come meet this precious girl — she’s ready to bring joy to your heart.

Story
About Karley Approx. 5 years old | 77.6 lbs | Gentle, devoted companion This sweet girl has had a series of loving homes due to human circumstances—not behavior issues. Her first owner adopted her as a young dog and adored her until he passed away. She was then taken in by his best friend, who later became seriously ill. During that time, she showed an extraordinary level of awareness—waking him at night when his oxygen equipment wasn’t working or when he needed assistance, despite having no training to do so. Most recently, she moved again when a resident cat was unable to adjust to sharing the home. Each transition has been handled with care and love, and she has remained gentle and emotionally connected throughout. 🐾 Personality & Temperament Exceptionally gentle and affectionate Very people-oriented—she bonds deeply and wants to be near her person Can feel anxious if separated, but not destructive Calm and settles well indoors, sleeps through the night Previously assessed by a trainer as easy to train and a possible therapy-dog candidate (assessment copy pending) 🧠 Training & Motivation House-trained Walks nicely on leash and is accustomed to regular grooming Not food-motivated—she works for touch, praise, and affection Responds well to guidance and human connection rather than treats 🏡 Lifestyle & Social Skills Loves car rides, swimming, and toys Good with children of all ages Does well with both large and small dogs (with proper introductions) No known aggression issues 🚧 Management Notes (Honest & Important) She can clear a 4-foot fence if left unattended in a yard Interestingly, she respects an invisible fence very well Best suited for a home where she isn’t left alone outdoors and where companionship is valued 💗 Ideal Home She will thrive with someone who: Wants a true companion, not a backyard dog Is home often or enjoys including their dog in daily life Understands that closeness and reassurance—not treats—are what motivate her Appreciates a calm, emotionally intuitive dog with a big heart

🌟 Miley – The Happy-Go-Lucky Companion You’ve Been Waiting For! 🌟 Meet Miley, a joyful young girl with a heart as big as her smile! At just around 8 months old, this mixed-breed beauty already has great manners and a whole lot of love to give. Miley recently got all her vaccinations and has been spayed, so she’s ready for her forever family! She weighs in at 39 pounds—a perfect medium size for adventures, cuddles, and everything in between. She’s house-trained and crate-trained, and does wonderfully spending the workday (about 8½ hours) in her crate without any trouble. When you’re home, she’s eager to be part of the action and may bark to remind you she’s ready for attention or playtime. Miley is great with other dogs and loves kids, though she’s a bit of a bouncy bundle of energy—so she’d do best in a home without very young children or babies. She hasn’t met cats or other animals yet, but she’s shown no signs of aggression at all—just pure excitement and affection! This girl loves the outdoors, whether she’s running, playing, or just exploring the yard—though she’ll gladly skip rainy days in favor of a cozy nap inside. 💛 Miley is the perfect match for an active home that can give her time, training, and love. In return, she’ll shower you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags. 📄 Vet records and proof of spay/vaccines available upon request.

Story
🐾 Meet Tiny 🐾 Tiny might have a small name, but he’s got a big heart! Along with his siblings, Bailey and Maple, Tiny was found wandering in the woods at just 3 months old, likely abandoned by someone who didn’t want them anymore. Thankfully, friends of ours spotted them before it was too late and brought them to safety. Today, Tiny is full of curiosity, love, and playful energy. He’s learning that the world isn’t so scary when you’ve got people who care. Whether snuggling close or chasing after toys, Tiny’s ready to find a forever family who will never leave him behind. #AdoptTiny #RescueDog #BigFamilyRescue #AdoptDontShop
