Ahoy Mateys! I’m Pirate, and I’m searching for my FOREVER crew!

I’m an adorably scruffy mixed fellow who loves to play with other dogs! I’m around 6 months old now and roughly 35 lbs of pure love, fun, and puppy kisses!

Don’t worry, my eye patch isn’t real!

I am crate trained and working hard on my potty training, doing great with it while on my foster family’s routine. I thrive on a routine! I’m still just a young pup learning the ropes, but I’m trying my very best to be the goodest boy!

Now, here’s the part of my story that makes my little pirate heart sad…

Meet Gerald, a giant, cuddly baby who is 100% convinced he’s a lapdog! Sweet as can be and endlessly goofy, this oversized puppy gets along wonderfully with kids of all ages, adults, and other dogs. When he’s not throwing his favorite squeaky toys around the room, Gerald’s primary mission is snuggling—whether that means laying across your feet, leaning in for endless pets, or using you as his personal mattress. Because he thrives on human connection and just wants to be part of the action, Gerald would do best with a family where someone works from home or is open to doggy daycare. His ideal adopters won't mind a little extra fur, routine drool, and a gentle giant who is still learning spatial awareness and realizing he's slightly too big to actually fit in your lap.

Hi, I’m Wednesday!

I’m the sweetest little girl with a heart full of love! My sister Ginger and I are new to the rescue after our previous owner decided they no longer wanted us. We may not understand why our world changed, but that hasn’t stopped me from loving everyone I meet!

I’m incredibly friendly, gentle, and trusting, without a mean bone in my body. All I want is for you to sit on the floor with me so I can shower you with kisses and soak up all your love!

I have so much love to give, and I’m just waiting for someone who will love me right back. This time, forever.

Meet April, a sweet and resilient little lady looking for a fresh start.April recently lost the person she loved most. When her owner passed away, a plan was made for her future, but unfortunately that arrangement fell through, leaving April back at the shelter through no fault of her own.We believe April was born around 2019 and is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier/Bobtail mix with a big personality packed into a small body. She is currently carrying a few extra pounds, but don't let that fool you—this girl enjoys getting out for long walks and loves any opportunity to splash around in the water.

Hi, I’m Ellie!

My life hasn’t always been filled with love, warm beds, and kind hands.

You see, my four siblings and I spent the beginning of our lives living on the streets, just trying to survive. We didn’t know what it felt like to be safe or loved. Eventually, animal control picked us up, and we found ourselves in a shelter. Thankfully, someone saw that we deserved a second chance, and my siblings and I were rescued!

Now I’m learning what it means to be a loved little girl, but I still have a long way to go.

Hey, Everyone! I'm Chestnut!

Hi, everyone! I am new to the rescue so I’m still getting settled into my foster home, so my foster is learning all the little things that make me special! But there are a few things we already know for sure: I’m full-grown, fully vetted, and ready to find my forever home! ❤️

I came to the rescue with my sister Reece, and having her by my side has helped me feel so much safer and more comfortable in this big, new world. I’m a sweet boy who wants nothing more than to be loved, and I’m slowly but surely coming out of my shell!

Meet Reece!

Hi, everyone! My name is Reece, and I’m the new girl here at the rescue! ❤️

When I first arrived at the shelter, I was a very scared girl, and I’m still a little nervous in my foster home. But I’m quickly learning that I’m safe and that there are people who want nothing more than to love me.

Deep down, I really want to be loved. I just need a little extra time to feel comfortable and learn to trust. I’m looking for a patient, understanding family who will give me the time and space I need to blossom into the confident, happy girl I know I can be.

Meet Apollo, a sweet little Yorkie who is still learning that the world and the people in it are safe! Because Apollo didn’t have much human socialization before coming into rescue, he is very timid at first and needs a calm, patient person, preferably at home alot, willing to give him time and space to settle in. It takes him about three weeks to truly open up, but once he trusts you, he becomes your devoted little shadow—following you everywhere, keeping you company, and cozying up right at your feet. Interestingly, Apollo isn't shy around other dogs at all! He lights up around canine companions of any size, especially bigger dogs and loves to join in on playtime, and gains so much confidence from having a doggy buddy to guide him.

Meet Boomer! Boomer is a 22 pound, 5 month old Lab mix. Boomer started off small from an under-developed esophagus but he is doing well now. He eats from a Kong Wobbler. He is working on manners and crate training. Boomer LOVES playing with sticks, jumping in the creek and playing with his best friends. He and Max are besties. They enjoy flopping around and wrestling and stealing beans from the garden and the fruit from underneath the trees.

Boomer's ideal home would be one with someone who is active and committed to his continued socialization and training. A fenced in yard is a plus.

Hi! I’m Sombra!

I’m a very playful girl who LOVES getting outside to run and have fun! I’ll chase a ball around the yard—and sometimes I even bring it back! I absolutely LOVE the water and would happily spend the day at the lake with you!

I’m also very treat-motivated, so snacks and I are already best friends!

My story didn’t start out very happy. I was found wandering after being shot with a BB/pellet gun, and sadly, no one ever came looking for me. But thankfully, I’m safe now, my wounds have healed, and I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life!

Meet Ballew! Ballew is a sweet 7-year-old male Poodle mix weighing in at a very portable 13 pounds. This little gentleman was found as a lost boy, and sadly, no one came forward to claim him — which is honestly their loss, because Ballew is one of a kind.And we do mean one of a kind.Ballew is a special boy, a true blonde making his way through life without a care in the world. He has that charming “Who, me?” energy and seems to float through each day on vibes, snacks, and absolutely no long-term planning. If dogs could forget why they walked into a room, Ballew would do it proudly — and still look adorable doing it.This quirky little guy has a funny gait due to hip dysplasia, but don’t worry — it’s being managed well with supplements, and he doesn’t let it slow down his spirit.

Hi! I'm a wiggly bundle of love looking for my forever home. I may be a little puppy, but I have a big heart! I'm a very smart girl and I'm learning to go to the door and scratch when I need to go potty. I'm still working on my potty training, so I'll need a little patience and encouragement as I keep learning.

I love to talk to you—especially when I don't get my way! I have lots of personality and always like to let you know what I'm thinking. I'm also a big snuggler and my favorite place to sleep is right next to you. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly, and playful best friend, I just might be the perfect puppy for you!

Some dogs arrive at the shelter carrying a little baggage. Britt arrived carrying a lifetime of hardship.At just 3 years old, Britt came from a hoarding situation where he lived with far too many animals and far too little care. When he arrived, he was nearly unrecognizable—bald, pink, and terrified of the world around him.Over the last three months, Britt has slowly begun to heal. His fur is growing back, his body is recovering, and most importantly, he's learning that people can be kind.Britt finds comfort in other dogs and often looks to them for reassurance. He recently discovered toys and watching him play for the first time was enough to bring tears to our eyes.
