Story
Meet Ruger! This 7 year old mastiff mix is a gentle giant. He was surrendered because his size was making the children in the house nervous. He likes to throw his toys around and could easily bonk a child not paying attention so he should go to a home with older kids. Ruger likes to go on walks and explore with his favorite people and he's great on a leash. We do not know how he would do with cats, but he does fine with other dogs. He is not neutered yet so he will need to go as foster to adopt until his appointment. If this big love looks like the right fit for you, stop by and see him Tuesday through Saturday 11-4!

Story
Meet pup one of our terrific trio! FELIPE and his two sisters are a sad but common rescue story. A small local shelter called A Lab for Life asking for their help with these sweet babies as they had not been claimed and were scheduled to be euthanized due to over crowding at the shelter. We always do our best to save as many as we can so we stepped up for these three! FELIPE is the biggest of his siblings but he’s decided he’s going to be the most easy going! At four months old FELIPE doesn’t need much, just a human to snuggle, some water to splash around in, and a few treats if you’ve got them to spare! FELIPE is doing great pottying on a schedule and he’s crate training like a pro! When his foster mom says “kennel up”, away he goes to snuggle down! Were you wondering how he does with other pups? Well let me tell you he’s a friendly boy to his siblings and the other big dogs in his foster home! He’s learning how to walk on a leash and will get better with more training. FELIPE is a good boy who’s ready to settle in with a forever family! Could that be you?

Story
Meet pup three of our terrific trio! LUCIA and her brother and sister are a sad but common rescue story. A small local shelter called A Lab for Life asking for our help with these sweet babies as they had not been claimed and were scheduled to be euthanized due to over crowding at the shelter. We always do our best to save as many as we can, so we stepped up for these three! Last but certainly not least, LUCIA is a beautiful four month old girl! LUCIA is the smallest of the three pups but she doesn’t let that slow her down! Her foster mom says she is lively and loves to give out kisses! LUCIA has a strong nose and can sniff out treats in a flash! This girl will be motivated to learn whatever you show her as long as there are snacks involved! LUCIA loves splashing in the water with all the pups at her foster home! She gets along great with everyone! LUCIA is doing great with potty training like her siblings and also has no trouble getting cozy in her kennel! LUCIA would be a fun addition to a family ready for some puppy fun! Could that be you?
