Available Dogs
All of the dogs you see here are ready to go to their forever homes. They are up to date on all age appropriate vaccinations, on heartworm preventative, spayed or neutered, and are microchipped. They each have their own unique story and we will provide you with as much information as we possibly can about them. In order to meet one of our dogs you must first complete an application and become an approved foster or adopter. We always recommend meet and greets if you have other pets in the home. We do our best to match dogs with the personalities of the animals in the home as well as an adopters lifestyle. If you would like to be kept up to date on some of the newcomers please follow us on Facebook.
I'm Fillmore
I am a sweet gentleman who just love to love on my people. I love being outside chasing squirrels and taking names and would do best in a home with a call fence. Other dogs are fun to be around and wouldn't mind sharing my home with one, but please no kitties! Unfortunately I had a rough first life which has left me with few teeth (still have most of my chewy teeth) and without a toe. Don't let that scare you off, I am feeling much better now!
I'm Captain
I am a velcro dobie who just happens to be a smidge older. I love my daily walks and hope to find a family who will continue those with me. I love other dogs and get along well but I do get extremely excited when we first meet, I am working on it. Kids are great and wouldn't mind sharing my home with respectful kiddos. I am looking forward to living my best life with an amazing family!
I'm Captain
I am a spunky older gent who acts much much younger. I try really hard to do all the right things, but I would really like it if my family would continue my training. I enjoy other dogs and wouldn't mind sharing my home with another dog I can play with. Did I also mention I like walks? I am working on my leash manners but I cannot help enjoying all the great sights and smells outside has to offer. Due to my love for the outdoors, I would really benefit from a tall secure fencing structure in my forever home. I love my people and promise to do the best that I can and show you all the love I have to offer for the rest of my years.
I'm Lawrence
I am a handsome 4 year old who unfortunately got the short end of the stick. I have a grade 4 heart murmur believed to be caused by Heartworms, hopefully this can self correct with time after my heartworm treatment. I also have a wound on my foot that continues to heal and is almost complete! I am a very loving boy with a ton of love to give my family. I also enjoy the company of dogs and kids, but please no kitties for me. *Medical Adoption*
I'm Blaze
Blaze is a cute DoberHound who loves to sing the song of his people. You must love the hound bay, because this boy loves to talk! He gets along well with most dogs and even passed his cat assessment! Blaze also lives with kids and adores them too, especially when they drop yummy food. Blaze is a great pup who still has a lot to learn about the good life. There are many things he is still uncertain of and needs guidance and reassurance. He would also benefit from training to build his confidence.
I'm Pearl
I am a sweet and playful dobermix girl. I am the perfect lap sized girl weighing in around 45lbs give or take. My favorite things are playing with my foster siblings and giving foster mom all the kisses. I had to fight over food in my past life so I would ideally eat in a safe area by myself where no other dogs can steal my food, although I am working on this and doing very well. My ideal home is one where I can continue to learn and grow, a patient family who is willing to work with me and play! I would love some fur-siblings to play with maybe a few older kids who can be respectful and maybe even teach me fetch.
Please note available dogs are subject to change.
We do our very best to give the most current information on each dog available.
Dogs needing extra TLC
Dogs here need a little extra time before finding their forever homes. Some just need a few weeks, others a few months.
I'm Dolly Eudora
I am a 4-5 year old girl who was found in the street with a bad case of Mastitis. I had great dog-tors and found a wonderful rescue who got me on my way to being healthy again. I am recovering, but soon will have to undergo heartworm treatment. I have proved to be a very sweet girl and just adore people. I get along well with other dogs, but it is best I eat in a separate area due to devouring food. I don't mind seeing kitten through the door, but have not yet met them directly yet, maybe soon. Hopefully my family is out there, once I am healthy I cannot wait to find them!
I'm Silver
I am a 10 month old Mix, my little sister is Pearl. I had a rough start at life but I am starting to learn and grow into a good boy. I get along well with other dogs, but do need my own area to eat since other dogs use to beat me up for food. I am working on this and continue to get better. I hope to learn more and more and let my personality shine.
I'm Grover
I am a 6 year old gentleman who is just as cute as they come. I can work the beach towel! If you could just know me by my personality you would never know the hard life I have lived. If you look at my body you can see my stories unfold. I was found as a stray and I have a myriad of things I must heal from. I am loaded with worms, heartworm positive, have broken teeth that must be removed, a light case of mange to recover from, and I still need to be neutered. I have a lot of other wounds on my body, some old some new, most will leave scars or hairless spots. When I healed up I hope someone can look past all of those because I am a good boy. I am so eager to please, am good with other dogs, even do well with cats. I look forward to my second chase at a wonderful life.
I'm Fillmore
I am a 6 year old gentleman who is just as sweet as they come. If you look at my body you can see my stories unfold. I was found as a stray and I have a myriad of things I must heal from. I am very underweight, loaded with worms, heartworm positive, broken teeth that must be removed, a light case of mange to recover from, a toe that is being assessed, and I must be neutered but unfortunately I am Chryptorchid which means I retained a testicle and will make surgery much harder. I want to please and am good with other dogs. I look forward to my second chase at a wonderful life.
I'm Ricochet
I am a 4 year old handsome fluff ball. I am new to the rescue so they are still learning a lot about me. I have been on the chain for the last few years but was a much loved house dog before then. I am neutered and unfortunately am heartworm positive. I will be undergoing treatment soon! I am a dominant boy, so girls or submissive boy dogs would be best for me. No small kiddos while I relearn how wonderful people are. I am looking for a foster home to complete my treatment with, I promise to be as good as I can be. *Pending Adoption by foster family*
I'm Narissa
I am a 3 year old girl who was found hit by a car. I did end up having FHO surgery and am recovering in my foster home. It will take me a few months to get back to full health but look forward to feeling better. Everyone who meets me says I am as sweet as can be, but I just liked to be spoiled ha.
I'm Hook
I am a 2 year old cutie pie! I love to be loved and show love to people, and I just want to play with all the dogs. I have not yet met a cat, so unsure how I like them. I do have a birth defect which has misshaped my foot/leg, but don't worry it doesn't slow me down at all. I am heartworm positive so will have to finish my treatment before finding my forever home.
I'm Westley
I am Westley and I am about 3 years old. I am very loving, great with all animals, and just perfect. Now I do have a little something that makes me special, I am Deaf. It doesn't slow me down at all! I am actually very smart and eager to please my person. I am heartworm positive and will have to complete my treatment before I can find my forever home. *Pending Adoption by foster family*
I'm Guinness
I am Guinness and I am about 3 years old. I am pretty new to rescue so they don't know a whole lot about me right now. I have showed them I am a good boy in the house and crate, they say that will make it easier for me while I go through heartworm treatment. I look forward to catching up with yall in a few months!
I'm Porter
I am Porter and am an older gentleman. I am SUPER loving and just want to be loved on by my people. I do well with most other dogs so far, but so far I am a little to interested in kitties. We will try again there in the future. Kids are great and I hope to have some in my forever home! I do have heartworms and will need treatment, but that just means I get to learn more while I wait for my forever home.
