Sammie is 12 years old. He is extremely well trained and well behaved. He will not jump up on furniture or people. He does not chew on anything except his food and treats. He cannot handle stairs to well. He can go up and down a couple of stairs but not a whole flight. It is not a physical limitation, it’s a mental one. He loves to run around in the yard and lay in the sun.

Story
  Chachi is a 7- to 8-year-old mix of Hound and Shepherd.  She weighs about 50 pounds  and is quite pretty in her coat of tan and black.  She’s house trained and well behaved in the house. She will be wonderful in a peaceful home that doesn’t have a lot of action, so no small children, please. A fenced backyard would be ideal for her to run and burn off some energy. She will play all by herself for hours. You would never know she is 7-8 years old. Chachi doesn’t love cats, though, and she’s very dog selective, so life for her shouldn’t include another dog or, a cat either. As with so many rescue dogs, Chachi ‘s story is a sad one, but she has so much to offer. Just watch as she bounds toward you to give you some love!  (revised 12/30/22)     (posted 9/4/20, HS)  (updated 7/22/22) **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience.     .   Chachi is a 7- to 8-year-old mix of Hound and Shepherd.  She weighs about 50 pounds  and is quite pretty in her coat of tan and black.  She’s house trained and well behaved in the house.

Story
Oh, my goodness!  How handsome can a boy dog be?  Meet Monty, a 5 ½ year old mix of Golden Retriever and Chow who weighs 70 pounds, much of which is his very long golden and cream-colored coat.  It’s not only beautiful; it’s so fluffy that you could almost lose yourself when you snuggle your face in his neck.  And if you want to see a happy dog, watch how he reacts when you brush him!  Monty is one of a kind!  He’s silly and sweet. He is a very strong boy on walks, so his adopter should be experienced with large dogs.  Monty would be his happiest in a calm household, and he loves being outside so a fenced in backyard would great! Good with cats, Monte doesn’t get along  with other dogs or children.

Spencer is a  3 year old Bulldog/Lab mix weighing 75 pounds .  He is housetrained.   We feel Spencer would be best in a  home where he will not be faced with frequent visitors or traffic in the home, He is a lovely companion, extremely loyal, has never shown aggression of any sort towards the current owners and their kids. Spencer is special needs because he has been diagnosed with Addison's disease (controlled with medication) and has behavioral issues.  (posted 6/19/23 R) **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience.   Adoption and transport fees: $250 July 14, 2024, 1:15 pm

Story
A 16-month-old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix, Journee’s name came from the English word for “journey,” or a trip of some kind. This name suits her well because her life so far has been a journey, the destination being a loving forever home. Journee’s foster saw her in the kill shelter, pulled her out, and brought her home and into rescue. She was 5 months old then, about 10 months old now, and in the 5 months since her rescue, she has grown almost to her full size of 55 pounds. Her short coat is tricolor, but mostly white, and her eyes big and brown and hopeful. She loves children, other dogs, and even cats. Being adopted would mean the end of her journey because she would have found you WAITING FOR HER at home.

Story
Say hello to Shadow, a 2-year-old male Lab/German Shepherd mix weighing around 55lbs. Shadow is a very shy boy who has been with us in rescue since he was six months old. This shyness is greater in some rescues than in others, so we asked a trainer for help, and he’s progressed a lot.  He’s more playful and confident. We’re looking for a warm and caring family that will understand when he’s timid and will provide him with a fenced yard to help with that.  Though he’s gentle natured and wouldn’t hurt a fly, small children may startle him; therefore, a home with older children or adults only would be best. Shadow does well with other dogs and cats and is also housebroken. His foster says of him, “ Shadow K is an extraordinary dog, he just doesn’t know how to show it. His heart is filled with love!” (Revision11/24/23, ML)  (Age revised 6/19/4)Please check out his video!   **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption Fee/Transport Fee: $250.00July 14, 2024, 1:15 pm
