Read more about Heinz

PET DESCRIPTION: Heinz is an almost one-year-old male, Pomeranian/Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, about 16 lbs. His older owner only had him about three weeks but he was getting underfoot too much and became a tripping hazard. He loves people, is ok with cats and tolerates other dogs but might get very jealous of another dog getting near his owner so likely best as the only dog in the home. No children please. He is very active and also can jump quite high. Housetrained and does like to talk.

Hannah is a beautiful 8-year-old Hound mix with a heart as big as her floppy ears! She’s a calm, well-behaved girl who just wants to be near her people and enjoy the simple comforts of life.

Meet Oscar!
Oscar is a gorgeous 5-year-old Lab/Rhodesian mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love. He originally came to the rescue as a young puppy with his siblings, was adopted, and later returned when life circumstances changed—through it all, Oscar has remained the sweetest boy.

Read more about Oscar

This big, handsome guy weighs about 80 lbs and has a unique look to his lower jaw. Oscar returned to the rescue with osteomyelitis in his mandible, possibly from an old injury. This condition is an infection of the bone and was successfully treated with antibiotics. While the infection is gone, it left behind some extra bone growth on his lower jaw. This does not cause him pain, and he does not need medication or ongoing treatment—it’s simply a cosmetic quirk that makes him extra special.

Oscar is thriving now and is such a joy to work with. He is good with female dogs, cats, and kids, and best of all—he is HOUSEBROKEN! He has been neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and heartworm tested negative.

His adoption fee is $250.

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
