Story
❤️ Meet Sativa! ❤️ This girl was found as a stray - Then we discovered she was heartworm positive. 💔 We weren’t going to give up on her. She received the heartworm treatment she needed, we had her spayed, up to date on vaccines and today we have the news we’ve been waiting for… 🎉 SATIVA IS HEARTWORM NEGATIVE! 🎉 This girl has come so far, and her story is a beautiful reminder of what a second chance can mean. From being alone on the side of the road not knowing where her next meal would be - to finally being safe, loved, and cared for. Sativa’s future is looking brighter every day. 🐾❤️. She is a very sweet and mild mannered girl, just happy and loves life! Now, we’re ready to help her find the forever family she deserves. 🏡🐶 Sativa gets along great with other dogs! Cats are unknown.

Story
Meet Blue! 💙 Blue's story is one of resilience and second chances. He was found as a stray and was picked up by two county workers who reached out to our rescue for help. When Blue arrived, he was heartbreakingly thin and covered in ticks and fleas, but despite everything he had been through, his sweet spirit never faded. We made sure Blue received all the medical care he needed, including treatment for heartworms. We are thrilled to say that after completing his treatment, Blue is now heartworm negative! Today, Blue is a happy, healthy boy who is ready for the next chapter of his life. He is affectionate, playful, and loves spending time with people. Whether he's playing with toys, exploring the yard, or soaking up belly rubs, Blue is always ready to bring a smile to your face. Blue has overcome so much, and now all he needs is a family to love him forever. Could you be the happy ending he's been waiting for? 🐾 Neutered 🐾 Vaccinated 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Heartworm Negative

Story
🐾 Meet Rusty! 🐾 Rusty is a 9-month-old Australian Kelpie/Shepherd mix who has already overcome more than any puppy should ever have to. Rusty came into rescue when he was just 3 months old after someone found him. At the time, he had what appeared to be a chemical burn running the entire length of his back. We don't know what happened to him or how he was injured, but thankfully, he made it into rescue and has been given the care and love he deserved. Rusty also suffered an eye injury. We don't know if it was related to what happened to his back, but unfortunately, his eye could not be saved and had to be removed. But losing an eye hasn't slowed this handsome boy down one bit! ❤️ Today, Rusty is a happy, healthy boy who is ready for his forever home. He has a medium activity level and enjoys going for walks, but he isn't looking for a home that never stops moving. He has great manners, gets along wonderfully with dogs of all ages, and does well in a crate. Rusty is the kind of dog who has been through a lot but hasn't let it change his sweet spirit. He deserves a family who will appreciate what a special boy he is and show him just how good life can be. ❤️ Rusty is neutered and ready to find his forever family! 🐾 9 months old 🐾 Australian Kelpie/Shepherd mix 🐾 Medium activity level 🐾 Loves walks 🐾 Great with dogs of all ages 🐾 Great manners 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Neutered 🐾 Ready for adoption! 🏡❤️

Story
Meet Venus! Her first week in rescue was 24/7 hospital care on IV liquids, antibiotics, and pain medicine. Her diagnosis included several broken ribs (likely from humans kicking her). We have a strong inkling that Venus somehow escaped from the life of a bait dog for dog fighting which sadly is commonplace in our state. We will not post her original pictures when she was first rescued but if you are interested in adopting her we will gladly share those with you. Venus may be small, but her heart is huge. She’s a 1-year-old pocket pitbull with soft tan fur and the cutest short legs you’ve ever seen. She weighs 29 pounds now which just right for snuggles and will not get any larger. She may gain another 5 or so pounds, but she will always be small. She has been treated for heartworms and is heartworm free! Dogs and cats aren’t her thing, but she makes up for it with loyalty, affection, and the sweetest temperament towards people. Venus is ready to brighten someone’s world!
