Blake and her 2 surviving siblings have been through so much in their short little lives. Their Mom was hit by a car when they were only weeks old and she didn't survive, and several siblings didn't make it either.

Despite all they've been through, the puppies have wonderful dispositions and are highly affectionate. They are up to date on core vaccines, microchipped and will be spayed/neutered when age appropriate.

Tory was part of a massive owner surrender of 40 dogs and puppies. We were able to divert 11 (2 Moms and 9 puppies) so they never had to spend a day in the shelter.

They are up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and will be neutered/spayed under the rescue at 6 months of age.

Rose is estimated to be about 5 years old, and she is truly one of the sweetest girls you could ever meet. She is the kind of dog who simply wants to love and be loved—a devoted people dog whose happiest moments are spent close to her person, soaking up affection and giving it right back. Rose’s life changed in an instant when her owner passed away, leaving behind seven dogs. While family and friends were able to take in four of them, Rose and two others came into our rescue. After losing the person she knew and loved, Rose is looking for a home where she can feel safe, cherished, and part of a family again. Rose would do best in a home where someone is around more often, because being with her people is truly what she loves most. A fenced yard is also required for her. She is current on core vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. Rose came to us with double cherry eye and has already had surgery to correct it. Rose is currently in a foster home with other dogs and cats and gets along well with them.

Rosalyn has been with us for just over a year. Her temporary spot was just that, temporary. We stretched it to a year and we can stretch no further.
If a foster home is not found she will be going into a kennel. We have given her a quiet, stress free environment and trained her with compassion and grace. We fear that all of the progress we have made with her will be lost.

Rescuing Miss Daisy!! This tiny Pomsky was completely stressed out at the shelter which landed her labeled rescue only. Follow us for updates on her progress. Interested in adopting Daisy? Visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.

Meet John! John is a 73# lap x velcro dog cross who’s currently living his best life with his foster mama. He truly embodies the drake lyric, “I only love my bed and my mama” except, he’s not sorry. While John may be the sweetest boy, who just wants to give & receive love his story could have ended much differently. Originally born into a home for breeding, & profitable purposes where he was constantly told to cap his emotions has left him confused. The fact that they didn’t want him to react to things that confuse or upset him has been proven to be the root of his anxiety which is maintained with once daily medications. Thanks to Hardcore4pits, & his foster mama, John is on the road to the good life.
