Story
Olive came into a shelter down south pregnant and heartworm positive. She was fostered until her babies were born and weaned. Her babies were then transported to a rescue. For whatever reason, Olive didn't get to go with her babies and was taken back to the shelter where she wound up on the EU list. Chewy’s Hope fostered her, and she is a senior girl ready for a quiet retirement. She would do best as an only and with older kids. But whoever adopts her will have a great companion and lovely girl.

Story
You haven’t lived until you’ve had Haku’s nose on your lap. This lovable spunky furbaby is looking for his forever home with a fenced yard/land to run on. Haku is a foster dog that is about 5 years old. He loves playing outside and running with all of his might. He plays well with kids and other dogs. While inside, he enjoys playing catch by throwing his stuffed toys up in the air and catching them or napping close his people. When he naps, he will curl up close to his favorite people all the while keeping them in his eye line. Haku is smart and knows several commands/prompts. He is potty/house trained and crate trained. His only special need is that he needs someone with patience. Please reach out because Haku is so eager to hear from you. 🐶💙

Poppy is a very energetic and active dog. She does not do well with cats. She can be slightly aggressive towards other dogs (very alpha female) most just herding and nipping. She is great with kids and would do well in a single animal home where she get lots of loving and attention.

Story
Oh my Atlas, she is the sweetest dog. If I had the energy for three dogs I would keep her. Unfortunately my Ausie just keeps picking on her. Ausie is my sons. So Atlas needs a new home. She is house trained. She does not do the kennel. She is very smart. She does need a little more training as far as not jumping on people. But she sits for treats, lays down, and over all is a very calm dog. Shes a great cuddler!. She is great with little ones, she doesn bark hardly ever. She is a rescue. She walked up on my husband in August (she was 9 months old)when he was mowing. Tracked her down to a local shelter, she had just been adopted out a few months before that. Turns out the family released her on purpose. I couldnt stand the thought of her going back to the shelter. I have so many health issues and with my Ausie always jealous of her it makes it difficult when I have to separate them. Atlas is calm even when Rose is going after her. My heart is broken but it's whats best for her.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Summer was born approximately on July 7th 2021. She was found as a stray with open wounds on her legs and feet. Her owners were never found. She spent some time healing at a foster home and she did great. Friendly with people and children. Loved spending time with the family and snuggling and playing with them. She has been at the facility for some time now all healed and working on manners. She is improving her leash training and learning not to jump. She knows sit and understands the command NO. I love doing zoomies in the yard and spending time outdoors. She has made some friends at the facility. Slow introductions would be recommended. Summer is very smart and would be amazing once she gets in a home with a family that trains her and shows her love and security.Included with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up to date heart-worm preventative, heart-worm test if over 6 months, microchip with registration, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided.If you are interested in adopting, please complete our Pre-application: https://form.jotform.us/asr628/ShortAdoptionInquiry

Story
VERY SWEET GIRL!Red is a beautiful half pit bull/ boxer mix who is 4 years old…and SHE IS READY FOR ADOPTION ?This energetic and playful, loving pup needs someone to care for her and give her the attention she deserves.Red has such a wonderful personality and a cheerful character, which makes it easy for her owner and her to fit in anywhere they goes. Protective, yet submissive, shes perfect for any family! Red has been previously abused, which caused one leg to be amputated. She just needs a lot of love. She is scared of men because that is who abused her, so she does amazing with women, and kids. She’s not the best with cats, and is learning to be around other dogs!We want to be sure that she goes to someone who’s loving, caring, grateful, and who has the time to show Red the attention she deserves! So only serious individuals please, whom are prepared for a new best friend, not a yard dog they stick outside all day and never have time for! She is an inside dog, potty trained, and well behaved.Red will love you back and protect you in your home, for she is very humble and has a lot of appreciation in she heart for the ones who take care of her too ?? she has been damaged and broken, and deserves a 2nd chance at life. Ever since she’s been in my foster care, she has changed my life. She is the absolute sweetest baby girl, who will cuddle on you and will get jealous if you hug someone in front of Red. SHE WANTS ALL THE LOVE !!??Included with adoption: Age-appropriate vaccinations, up to date heart-worm preventative, heart-worm test if over 6 months, microchip with registration, and spayed or neutered- if not already, a voucher is provided.If you are interested in adopting, please complete our Pre-application: https://form.jotform.us/asr628/ShortAdoptionInquiry
