Story
Meet Derby (the dog that loves to play ball - all the time) and Sage (who had one eye removed) This is a bonded pair of Jack Russel Terriers. They have been together for MANY years. Originally these two loveable dogs once belonged to a friend who could no longer care of them and or moved. My mom adopted them and had them for 3 or so years until she passed away. Since then I have had the dogs the last 2 years. Both dogs are pee pad trained for when we aren't home, however they are also crate trained. Derby requires a lot of attention and loves to play ball, whereas Sage is the cuddle dog and is more relaxed. I'm rehoming them because they create stress for me and my daughter, they get into things and then chew things up. No rhyme or reason, maybe boredom. They would be best in a home that someone is home the majority of the time and in a home with older kids. Fenced yard is a plus. Adoption fee is negotiable. Home check is required.

Story
Meet Daisy, affectionately known as Teeny—a nearly 3-year-old bundle of energy, affection, and pure joy. This medium-sized sweetheart first came to us as a tiny pup in 2022 and was quickly adopted into a loving home. Over the years, she’s found her way back to us a few times as a stray, always eager to explore the world around her. While we were able to reunite her with her owner in the past, this last time, her family could no longer care for her—bringing Daisy full circle, back to the shelter where her journey first began. She’s now searching for a forever home where she can stay safe, loved, and grounded. We’re unsure how Daisy does with other pets, but we’re more than happy to set up a cat test or meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit. Daisy is also heartworm positive and will need to continue her treatment, but don’t let that stop you—she’s got a huge heart and is more than ready to fill your life with tail wags, snuggles, and laughter.

Good with dogs,
Story
Meet Donna, a striking medium-sized brindle beauty with a heart that just needs a little time to bloom. Donna is a timid soul searching for a peaceful, calm environment where she can truly feel secure and settle in at her own pace. She is looking for a patient forever family who understands that trust is earned in small, gentle steps and is willing to provide the reassurance she needs to shine. Once she feels safe, her true colors come out—she is an incredibly sweet girl who finds pure joy in her collection of squeaky toys! While she hasn't quite decided which treats are her favorite yet, she is eagerly (and quietly) auditioning new snacks every day. If you have a quiet home and a lot of love to give, Donna is ready to find her way into your heart, one squeak at a time. We would prefer her to do the week long trial with a prospective home.
