Story
Coco aka Snookie is a sweetheart who was rescued in the summer of 2024 from a small rural shelter with her days-old puppies (who have all found their forever homes). Now, it's Coco's turn to find hers. Adorable Coco has never met a stranger. She's friendly, loves attention, and takes treats gently. This tomboy loves to play and is always up for an adventure. Coco is small, loving, and talkative, and can keep up with the big dogs! She's a little Pocket Pibble who is just perfect and could be the one for you! Coco has a bit of a boss lady streak with her foster brothers (2 adult dogs), but when she's had enough fun, she's perfectly happy lounging around. If you're looking for a spirited and loving companion, Coco is your girl. Will you be her forever home? ##2148997##

Story
Bully. Male. 4-5 years old. 90lbs. UTD on vaccines. Neutered. He needs to be in a low traffic home.. He is really protective of his people.  He is pretty easily corrected. If it’s just him and his people, he’s literally perfect!!! He’s so super sweet! He absolutely loves my kids. He prefers them over me. No aggression toward us. He does well off leash. Easily corrected. 100% house broken. Does not need crated when left home alone. Doesn’t chew. Doesn’t really care for toys. Complete couch potato. No walks for this guy. He does his potty business and back to bed for him. He is good with other dogs with a proper introduction. He loves his own bed but will happily sleep in your bed too. Loves treats and his food. He does best on salmon, grain free food. Doesn’t seem to matter which brand. ##1811677##

Story
I'm a simple dog. I don't need much. Just an owner to love me and be patient with me. I'm very well trained and enjoy learning new things. I do not enjoy the company of other dogs, so I need to be a dog only home, no exceptions. Because I'm not a fan of other dogs, my new owner will need to understand that walks in public places can be a challenge and be patient with me. A fenced-in yard that I can enjoy all to myself would be ideal! Despite that, I'm a pretty awesome dude. I love playing tug and tearing up stuffed animals. I also can lounge with the best of them on rainy days. I love human attention and want nothing more than to hang out with my people. I understand humans work, which is fine, because I crate perfectly during the day and/or at night. I'm searching for my perfect match, in a home with calm, positive energy, wanting a canine companion, and okay with it being just us. Trust me when I say I have more than enough love to give. Here's what his fans have to say about Otis: "It was so much fun having Otis over the weekend! He is playful and sweet and the biggest dork dog I've ever met. His idea of a good time is rolling in piles of dirt and being goofy!" --Aunt Linda "Clumsy ball of love, always happy and eager to please" --Temp Foster Mom "Happy, loveable goofball! He tried so hard to be good and to fight his crazy silly puppy instincts. The name Otis means wealth and I have a feeling he'll bring a wealth of goodness and joy to any family." --Dog walker "Such a cuddle bug! Loves every person he meets. Food motivated to the core = instant trainability. Prime candidate for the Westminister dog show" --Temp Foster Mom #2. "Tricks complete with dopey smile" --unknown "Part pig. Part adorable. 100% perfection" --Foster mom

Story
Meet sweet Watson! Watson is a 75 pound mixed breed that is estimated to be between 10 and 12 years old. Poor Watson found himself in and out of a shelter, with a growing host of medical problems due to neglect and yet he is still a super sweet boy. His sweetness led the shelter to advocate for him to find rescue and here he is! He is currently on the mend for a skin and ear infection and is about to have a benign growth removed from a hind leg to make walking more comfortable. His skin and ears and highly improved. After that, he wants to find the most deserving retirement home for his golden years. Watson is crate and potty trained. He is fostered with two smaller calm dogs and a cat and they all get along well. Watson would love to share your couch with you!

Story
Meet Ginger Rogers – the star you’ve been waiting for! Poor Ginger found herself in the family way and in a nearby shelter, where she gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies. We knew that was no place for a mom and her pups to be, so we found a loving foster home where Ginger could raise her family. This sweet, spirited girl was an incredible mom to her six puppies (who are now looking for their forever homes as well!), raising them in a busy household with two young kids (ages 2 and 5) – and she did it all while wagging her tail nonstop. Now, it's her time to shine and find a home where she can truly relax and enjoy life. Ginger is such a sweet, loyal, and easy-going companion at home with her family. She’s extremely kid-friendly, adores snuggling, and would love nothing more than to curl up at the foot of your bed after a day of exploring a big backyard. She’s affectionate, but in the best way – gentle and loving without being needy. It’s clear that Ginger probably spent most of her life on her own before becoming a mom. She is still learning about what it’s like to be a “pet” and all the things that go with that, like going on walks with her family. Leash walks are still a work in progress, so a fenced-in yard is a must for Ginger while she hones her skills. She is a strong girl who has a bit of a prey drive when she sees small animals, so she needs someone patient who can work with her on the things she still needs to learn. Ginger’s a fast learner, but she still needs a patient, strong, and confident owner who can guide her and provide the structure she craves. Ginger is ready for a home where she can be the loving, loyal companion she was always meant to be. If you’re looking for a spirited girl who loves a good cuddle and is eager to please, Ginger Rogers might just be your perfect match.
