1. Boots
Meet Boots! ❤️
This sweet young guy has spent his life so far at the end of a chain. But thankfully, that all changed when he was rescued!
Boots is quickly learning what life inside a home is all about, and he's doing GREAT! He's such a sweet boy who loves everyone he meets and is soaking up all the love and attention he's been missing.
We've already taken care of his vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchip. Now all he needs is a family to call his own!
Boots has already gotten his second chance. Now we're hoping for one more miracle — a forever home for this very deserving boy. ❤️
Adoption fee: $150

5. Apple
Hi! My name is Apple!
I’m about 2 years old, and not too long ago, I gave birth to my three tiny babies outside in the mud. Thankfully, we were rescued just in time, and now my babies are safe, warm, and growing bigger every day. ❤️
I’ve been an amazing momma, but soon it will be my turn to find someone to take care of me.
Everyone who meets me says I’m just about the perfect girl. I have the sweetest eyes and an even sweeter personality. I’m calm, gentle, affectionate, and I absolutely LOVE to cuddle and give hugs. I don’t ask for much—I just want to be close to my people and feel loved.

And seriously… those eyes. ❤️
My babies will be ready for their forever homes in about 6 weeks, and once my job as Momma is done, I’ll be ready for my forever home too!
After everything I’ve been through, I’m still one of the gentlest, most trusting girls you could ever meet. I’ve taken such good care of my babies. Now I’m hoping there’s a family out there ready to love and take care of me. ❤️
