You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Beth (beth.lemmerman@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Online Adoption Application ›   Spunky is super sweet and playful. Earning her name Spunky. She absolutely loves other animals, kids, toys, and life in general.  She is  housebroken and crate trained.    One of her littermates adopter’s did a dna test and they were kind enough to say we can share the results that came back mostly staffordshire and pitbull, a little boxer, and a supposedly a bit Pyrenees even. From what we can guess by their weight and growth they will be large dogs maybe somewhere in the ~50-70lbs range. At 6months old she weighs 42lbs   CARE's adoption fee is $250 for dogs/puppies. All CARE animals arrive in their forever homes current on age appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, as well as microchipped. Breeds are our best guess as is any estimated size when they are full grown.    CARE is an all-volunteer and foster-based rescue organization. We do not have a shelter facility and do not have any employees monitoring inbound applications and emails. Applications are reviewed by each animal’s volunteer foster home. It may be several days before you hear from this animal’s foster home. Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 11, 2024, 5:58 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Poe – The King of Cozy and Professional Snack Seeker Poe is a 7-year-old, wrinkle-faced gentleman who’s mastered the fine art of napping and shamelessly looking adorable. When he’s not striking a pose in his favorite rainbow sweater (he swears it brings out his personality), you’ll find him lounging like royalty on anything remotely soft. Poe believes every blanket in your house is actually his blanket – you just didn’t know it yet. This guy isn’t here to win marathons – unless it’s a snack marathon. He’s more of a “short walk, long snooze” kinda dude who believes in taking life easy. His dream day involves snacks, belly rubs, snacks, cuddles, and (you guessed it) more snacks. He’s perfect for someone who appreciates the finer things in life, like binge-watching TV together and pretending you meant to take that third nap. If you’re looking for a chill, lovable buddy who’ll keep your feet warm and your heart full, Poe is ready to apply for the position of Best Couch Potato Pal. Don’t miss out – this face doesn’t just look like it needs snacks… it DEMANDS them. Adopt Poe, and join him on his life’s mission: maximum comfort, minimum effort, infinite love.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2024, 5:01 pm

Story
Greetings everyone! My name is Leanna and I found myself as a stray after a short wanderlust phase. Life on the road was harsh, as I became quite skinny and badly sunburned on my nose. I found myself in a noisy shelter for 4 months--living in a crate in a hallway and eventually on the euthanasia list. Yikes! But, my story of neglect and trauma did not break my spirit! My foster mom tells me I have a heart of gold and will be a loyal partner for a lifetime! I am around 5 years old and 50 pounds. I like to play with non-pushy dogs, but I need a little warm-up to pups without boundaries. I am a shy girl who needs someone to understand that not everyone wants a stranger in their face because, quite frankly, it can be scary. I need time to make choices about how I want to introduce myself. Don’t most humans do this already?! I’d prefer no kids because they usually don’t have the attention span I need for them to read my energy. I’m a girl with big boundaries and I cannot be rushed to accept you. But, once I do I’ll gladly show you my belly or lay at the foot of your bed if you find this agreeable! Did you say sit or shake? Gladly!! Just give me a tasty treat as a reward-I even love dog-friendly fruits and veggies!! My foster mom says that spinach helps me zoom around the backyard and right over the 4 ft fence if she’s not watching…Is that bad?! I consider myself quite the athlete and love routine exercise because it makes me a happier pet baby! I’d love a patient and understanding dog parent to bring out the best version of myself. Don’t we all want this in life?!

Hi! My name is Ellie. As you can see, I’m a bit of a low-rider…a house hippo, if you will. I’m a spayed female, about 5 years old and weigh about 75 lbs. I LOVE my ball, it’s my favorite toy! I also get REALLY excited when my foster Mom brings me my food…I have to maintain this hippo physique, you know! When I’m done with my ball, I’m perfectly happy to cuddle with you on the couch. I get along with some dogs, others not so much, so I’d definitely have to meet any dogs you already have. I don’t think I’ve met any cats, but I don’t think I’d be a fan. I also do well with older kids as commotion just isn’t my thing. I’m pretty set in my ways and really just like my people. I enjoy cuddling and lounging around the house. I'm great in my crate but could also be left out as I would probably just sleep while you’re away. I do also enjoy going for walks! I love being outside as long as you’re out there with me. If you enjoy binge watching Netflix and going for an evening walk, apply to meet me today!

She is amazing at puzzles, enrichment brightens her world! She will never turn down a good ol’ game of fetch, she’ll even drop the ball at your feet if treats are involved! The best thing about Sheba is her ability to thrive in a positive, loving environment. She is looking to spend her golden years with those who are willing to give daily massages and endless snuggles.
