Fender is a handsome 1-year, 9-month-old, happy, active guy! His dad was a Great Pyrenees, and his mom, Stormy, was mostly a Husky/Cattle Dog mix. You can see her DNA results in the pictures.
Fender weighs approximately 70 lbs and is an energetic boy who loves to run and play, especially with other dogs! He is housetrained, leash trained, and knows some basic commands.
Sadly, Fender needs a new home due to his family’s divorce. He has been very well cared for and is current on his vaccinations and preventatives.
Fender would do best with an active family who can give him plenty of exercise and attention. We think he would really benefit from having another active dog in the home to run and play with. He has not been around cats or children, so we don’t know how he would do with either.
If you’re looking for a fun, active companion, Fender is your guy!

Gracie’s life would make anyone who loves dogs cry. She was used as a breeding dog snd had 3 litters til she was no use to the breeder. The best news, he allowed our rescue to take custody of her to ensure that she has an awesome life going forward. We placed two of her puppies in wonderful homes snd now it is her time. She is current on all vaccines and is extremely shy. She will need a family to provide love and patience. She is starting to come out of her shell but loud noises frighten her. Gracie is 3 years old and a golden doodle. Our team is working on her leash manners and showing her basic commands. Slow and steady is what we prescribe. Interested?

interested please complete Three weeks ago, our transport was leading on 23 East when the driver saw a dog in the middle of the road with no collar. There were a lot of cars, it was dark and our Team was worried he would get hit. When called he jumped in the van. The team went around the houses near the location and no one knew his story or where he came from. He was checked gor a chip snd every effort was exhausted looking for his family. Brutus is current on all his vaccines. He is heartworm negative and he will be neutered before adoption is final. He is a strong, muscular boy but he loves people. We are looking for an active family with no young children. He loves playing in the yard but we have not tested him with other dogs.

MEET JONES!
Meet Jones—the big, fluffy boy who is absolutely convinced he belongs in your lap!

Jones is a sweet, affectionate pup who loves being close to his people. Human companionship is one of his favorite things, but he also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be happy to share his home with a canine friend.

When he isn’t soaking up attention, Jones enjoys going for walks, playing with his toys, and settling down with a good bone. He walks nicely on a leash, is already house-trained, and knows the difference between his belongings and yours—shoes and household items are safe around this good boy!

We are still getting to know Liberty but we do know she's a very sweet girl who takes treats very gently. She walks well on a leash and is open to receiving pets. She's a big girl who is estimated to be just about a year old. If you'd like to meet Liberty, please apply using the application below.

Meet Lovey!

This adorable puppy wants nothing more than to find a family all her own. She will melt into you for pets and affection. She and her sister, Valentine, were abandoned when they were very young. We promised them we would find homes where they would be loved and cherished for the rest of their lives.

Lovey is a very smart girl, true to her breed. She's great with a sit and makes good eye contact during walks; she's learning basic commands and how to take treats gently. Like any young pup, she loves to play and is her best self when she gets proper exercise. We think she'd do best in a home without young children and other animals.
