Despite everything he went through, Barney hasn't let his past steal his sweetness. All he wants is love, attention, and a chance to show off that happy tail! This boy is proof that even after people let you down, you can still have a whole lot of love to give.

Barney has already overcome so much. Now he's ready for his next chapter: a forever home where he'll never be left behind again. He deserves a family who will love him, spoil him, and remind him every day that he's finally home.

Ivory is one of the best dogs I’ve come across, she’s the best snuggle buddy and loves to snuggle up with you on the couch, she loves to go on walks and always up for an adventure, she’s completely house broke, loves her crate, loves other dogs and would love a play mate that can help show her around her new home. She loves kids (which also means she wants to be very close to them and lick their face) with some boundaries set she will make the best family dog! She also does great with strangers coming in the house. She is said to be good with cats, although I’ve not seen this, I don’t doubt it one bit!

Mabel currently lives in a home with two other dogs and two young children. It's pretty clear that Mabel has no idea how to be a loved member of the family, though her foster home is working diligently on teaching her. If left to her own devices, Mabel will spend all of her time alone. Her foster family is slowly encouraging Mabel to spend time near everyone else, though it will not happen overnight. Mabel has learned that solitude is safety, so she has a lot of new experiences ahead of her. She does enjoy gentle pets, kind voices and walks (it's when she's her most confident self). She has started wagging her tail more and more, and likes lifting up her paw to ask for pets. She is potty trained and crate trained, though she has never destroyed anything when left out alone. While Mabel is around 70 pounds currently, she has quite a bit to lose and is working hard on slimming down.

Her ideal family would be someone with a quiet home and a bucket full of patience. She'd thrive with someone who will continue to gently push her to be part of the family and not let her isolate one hundred percent of the time. She enjoys the company of other calm dogs and would likely do well with cats. She's gentle with the kids in her foster home, and would do fine with other respectful kiddos. A fenced in yard would be a huge plus, and she'd love a family who will take her on regular walks.

She may take some work, but the reward will be worth it.

Honey has not been crate trained but she is housebroken and is fine to leave in the house. She doesn’t chew or destroy anything but if you leave a plate of food unattended it won’t be there when you get back!

Do you have room in your heart and home for a special girl?

Xela gets along with other dogs, cats, and children, and she is currently learning all the things a young pup needs to know — leash skills, potty training, and basic commands. She may not have had the easiest start, but she's ready to learn, grow, and finally have the life she deserves.

And when Xela decides it's time to have fun… WATCH OUT! She loves to run and play and gets the most adorable zoomies. One minute she's being a little shy, and the next she's flying around like she just discovered she has four legs and absolutely no speed limit!

What Xela needs most is a patient family who will give her time to settle in, build her confidence, and show her what it feels like to be loved and safe.

She didn't get the start she deserved, but her story doesn't have to end there.

Xela is ready for the next chapter — one filled with a soft bed, a loving family, plenty of playtime, and someone who will promise her that she is finally home. ❤️

She may need a little time to trust you, but once she does, you'll have a goofy, playful girl who will be worth every second.

Will be available after her spay on October 26th, 2026

Binx was found as a stray in Southern Indiana alongside Salem and Ash. The shelter believes they may be littermates who were abandoned by their previous owner. Her breed mix is a mystery—possibly Cattle Dog, Border Collie, or Australian Shepherd—but that’s just our guess!

She’s new to rescue, and her foster family is still discovering what makes her special. Stay tuned for more about this lovely girl!

Tickles is a social little sweetheart who gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids. She absolutely LOVES attention and would be perfectly happy being the center of your universe. If you're sitting down, she's probably wondering why she isn't sitting with you. If you're petting her, she's wondering why you ever stopped. And if you're not paying attention to her… well, she may simply have to fix that.

Like her sister, Tickles is still working on her potty training and leash skills. She also hasn't quite mastered the concept that greetings don't require all four feet to leave the ground. Yep… she's still a jumper! But she's young, eager to learn, and ready for a family willing to help her become the best version of herself.

Tickles is playful, affectionate, goofy, and just the right amount of ridiculous. She's looking for a forever family who will give her plenty of love, patience, training, and, most importantly, lots and lots of attention!

Come meet Tickles — because life is just more fun when you have a little Tickles in it! ❤️

When it comes to roommates, Scotch is a little particular. He's great with female dogs, but he's selective about his male canine friends. Cats? Absolutely afraid of them. Scotch doesn't want to chase them, play with them, or even make eye contact with them. In his mind, cats are simply a hard NOPE.

Because Scotch is a confident little dude with a strong personality, he would do best with older, respectful children who understand that dogs have boundaries and know how to interact with them appropriately.

If you're looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you entertained, shower you with attention, and occasionally remind you that he has his own rules, Scotch might just be your guy!

He's got the brindle stripes, the personality, the charm, and just enough terrorist attitude to keep life interesting. ❤️

Come meet Scotch — he's ready to find someone who appreciates a little spice with their snuggles!

Brent currently lives in a foster home with two female dogs and two young children. We think he'd love a dog to play with, but his canine foster siblings aren't the playing type, so he's great at coexisting with them. He's loving with his human foster siblings, and absolutely ADORES cuddling. If it was up to Brent, he'd spend his whole life snuggling with his people. Brent is a happy guy and exudes joy.

Brent can usually be found playing with toys, pretending he's a beagle and looking for food, or snuggling with his foster family. He knows "sit", "lay down" and is potty and crate trained (though admittedly he is not a fan of being crated long periods). Brent very much enjoys walks and would love to explore the outdoors with his new family. Brent has never met a stranger he didn't like (though periodically they've wished he was less enthusiastic about meeting them).

In Brent's ideal home, he'd have a fenced-in yard, be allowed on the furniture (see: cuddling), have parents that are home more than not, have someone who enjoys daily walks and have a family who is ok continuing his training. He'd be happy with or without another dog and with or without kids.

Whoever ends up with his guy is one lucky family.

Please note that Brent has recently been through heartworm treatment. He has to be kept on restricted activity until November 20 (which basically just means he has to keep his heartrate down). His foster mom is more than happy to tell you more about what this requires!

She was very shy at first but now she wants belly rubs and likes laying on the couch. She is even starting to play. She seems to like female dogs better than males that get in her face. She is going to be a great family pet, not sure about little kids though.

Scout has a soft temperament, loves people, and warms up quickly. He is curious, affectionate, and clearly wants to bond. Around other dogs, he is still decompressing and making steady progress. He enjoys pretending they are sheep and may try to herd them, but daily daycare is helping him learn to play rather than simply herd. He has been indifferent toward cats.

Learning & Progress

Learned to sit in his first puppy class and is continuing puppy-class work
Started working on recall
Is learning to walk on a leash, which is new to him
Became comfortable enough to potty while on leash after settling in
Is doing well in his crate
Rides well in the car and is beginning to jump in on his own instead of needing to be lifted

Scout is the kind of dog who will take off once he feels secure—smart, willing, and ready to learn.

Ideal Home

Scout will thrive as an indoor dog who is part of the family, with:

A loving adopter who enjoys training
A home that gives him time to decompress and feel secure
Someone who appreciates a dog with a big heart and a fresh start
Opportunities to use his natural working instincts, such as life on a hobby farm or participation in herding activities

Scout is a resilient, affectionate boy who is ready to leave his past behind and step into a life where he is valued and understood.

He is currently being fostered in Plymouth, Indiana.

Pablo needs an adopter with an extra-big heart, patience, and a willingness to let him blossom at his own pace. He would do best in a calm home with another friendly dog to help show him the ropes and give him confidence.

Pablo may take a little time to come out of his shell, but watching him learn to trust and love is going to be incredibly rewarding. He loves to give kisses as he starts to feel
