Story
Princess Fiona is a wonderful little gal, about 10 weeks old, who is full of love and spunk. This little lady was found by herself and was bottle fed. She is happy, playful and the best snuggler. She has a gorgeous deep brown coat. Fiona is enjoying her foster siblings and we are still wondering if she is a part of the Greek Puppies litter or just a Sister from Another Mister; she looks so similar with rear dew claws and her quirky tail. Her parents and future size is unknown. She will probably be a large dog based on her current size. She is good with dogs, cats and children.

Story
Sadie is our old gal at the shop who has had a really unstable life prior to coming into Rescue. She needs a patient family who will understand that her love and trust needs to be earned. She loves to go on walks, car rides, and hang out next to you on the couch

Story
Cabbage is a loving, street-smart, free-spirited fur baby. She loves playing fetch, going for walks, snuggling on the couch, and just being near you. She is 5 years old with lots of love to give. She has grown up with two other dogs and does well playing. It breaks our hearts to be at this point, but in this season of life, things are very busy and I don't have the time to give her what she deserves. We are looking for a committed and loving family that will make time for her, love her, and can go out and play fetch. She is a good dog, and I want to ensure she goes to a safe home.

Story
Hi! my name is Olaf. I am a confident, chatty, sweet husky. I love people, kids, dogs and cats. I am basically the best. I have a seizure disorder that will require me to take meds for the rest of my life, but that does not stop me from being amazing. A wonderful volunteer has offered to cover my medications for the first year of my adoption! woohoo! Please adopt me if you want an adventure buddy who will love everyone!
