This sweet girl came to us from Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past, but it appears she's recently had puppies and somehow found herself without a home.

Right now, we're working on putting some much-needed weight on her, which means extra meals, plenty of snacks, and all the love she can soak up!

Whatever her past looked like, we're determined to make sure her future is filled with everything she deserves.

Biff is proof that the best things in life come with a wagging tail and a head full of curls. This handsome 8-year-old poodle mix is an absolute sweetheart who has quickly won hearts with his gentle personality and affectionate nature. His little tail seems to have only one speed: nonstop wagging!

Biff has been a perfect gentleman in his foster home. He's doing great in his kennel, knows how to use a doggy door, and loves nothing more than curling up beside his people for a cozy nap. He walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is always happy to tag along for whatever adventure the day brings.

As Biff settles in, he does wear a belly band, especially with several other dogs around, but so far he has been wonderfully well-mannered indoors. He's taking all these changes in stride and showing everyone what a sweet, easygoing companion he is.

Biff has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease, which will require ongoing medication management. He has a veterinary appointment on Monday to determine the best treatment plan moving forward. One side effect of Cushing's is an increased appetite, and Biff definitely loves his snacks! His future family will need to help manage his diet, but the good news is that he absolutely loves toys, making them a perfect reward and enrichment tool.

If you're looking for a loyal snuggle buddy, a great passenger for car rides, and a loving companion with a heart as big as his appetite, Biff might just be your perfect match. ❤️

Willie has plenty of energy and loves to play, so he does best with dog friends who can keep up with him. He’s crate trained and will happily trot into his crate for a treat , no fuss, no drama.

He comes fully vetted and ready to start his forever chapter.

Willie doesn’t ask for much just someone to call his own. Could that be you?

Willie is in a kennel in GA. He is fully vetted. Another rescue saved him from euthansia but then abandoned him at the kennel.

We're helping share him to find a home.

He is great with people, walks well on leash, and is very food motivated he’ll happily come inside for a treat after yard time. Ruger would do best with proper introductions and continued structure.

Ruger is around a year old and 45lbs is looking for someone who understands that some dogs just need time, trust, and consistency to shine. Underneath his tough exterior is a loyal, smart, and really special dog ready for his chance at a forever home!

Ruger was also abandoned at the kennel by the rescue that pulled. He is safe but the boarding kennel isn't a forever home. If youre interested in Ruger please message us and we can help

Remember this adorable little red pup from our Rudolph/reindeer litter back in December 2025? Meet Yukon Cornelius! He was the only red pup in the litter, which made him pretty unforgettable. He also came with a healthy dose of puppy sass and a personality all his own.

Fast forward about 8 months, and Yukon is now a 10-month-old, 40-ish-pound pup who has found his way back to OPARI and is starting over in his search for his forever family.

Yukon was returned to us because of food aggression. And while we absolutely take any concerns about aggression seriously, we also believe in giving dogs the opportunity to decompress, learn, be evaluated in a new environment, and be set up for success.
So naturally… where did Yukon land?

A foster home with SEVEN other dogs.

Yep. Seven. Dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities.

And guess what?

Yukon has been doing really, really well.
He has butted heads with one of the dogs over bones, but he's been easily corrected and has had no issues with the other six. He's been allowed to enjoy toys, treats and bones with his furry foster siblings under supervision. Meals are fed separately—which, let's be honest, is pretty standard practice in a multi-dog foster home anyway.

He's also absolutely loving the kids in his foster home and apparently has forgotten to inform his brain that he's no longer a tiny puppy because he still firmly believes he's a lap dog.

In fact, Yukon has been surprisingly timid, nervous and even submissive at times as he's settled into his new environment.

He's snuggly with his people, gets the evening puppy zoomies before bedtime, kennels like a champ, and is doing wonderfully with his potty routine.

Basically… the Yukon we remember is still in there. He's just a little bigger, a little older, and probably experienced some things along the way.

And there is one more VERY important part of Yukon's story that we want to talk about.
VETTING AND MONTHLY PREVENTION MATTER.
We know some people think rescues are "too picky" when we ask about current vaccines and consistent parasite prevention for existing pets. We aren't trying to be difficult. We're trying to protect the animals.

Preventing a preventable illness is almost always better—and kinder—than treating it after the fact. Being sick can also mean pain, discomfort and stress, and yes… even a normally happy dog can be pretty cranky when he doesn't feel good.
Unfortunately, Yukon came back to us not current on his vaccines or preventatives and immediately tested positive for Lyme disease. Thankfully, he isn't currently showing symptoms and is receiving treatment.

So please, for the love of your pets, keep those vaccines and monthly preventatives current. ❤️

As for Yukon?
He's ready to put the past behind him.
He's ready to learn.
He's ready to snuggle.
He's ready to zoom.
He's ready to be someone's ridiculously adorable, occasionally goofy, 40-pound lap dog.

Most importantly, he's ready for his forever family.
We know food guarding is something that needs to be taken seriously, and any adopter will need to be committed to continuing appropriate management and training. But we also believe dogs deserve the chance to show us who they are—not just the worst thing that has ever happened.
And Yukon is showing us that he's a pretty darn good boy. ❤️
Let's find this former Christmas puppy the forever home he's been waiting for.
Yukon Cornelius is ready for his next chapter. Who wants to be part of it? ❤️

Welcome to PUPR

He will need a review of basic manners such as sit, stay, and down. Rigsby is strong and tends to pull hard while on walks - which he loves! He has done well sleeping in a kennel at night. Any person could kidnap him just by opening a car door, so we know he would be your best pal on a roadtrip!

Rigsby is not slowed down at all with his amputation, he has figured life out just fine on 3 legs.

Apply to meet him or catch him at an adoption event this summer!

At under a year old, this incredibly handsome Belgian Malinois is everything you could hope for in a young dog. Friendly with people, social with other dogs, and deeply devoted to his person, Nitro is the kind of companion who wants to be part of everything you do.

Still very much a puppy, Nitro is a happy guy who approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity. Not unusual for his breed, Nitro shows his excitement with playful “clacking”. Whether he's chasing a ball, proudly carrying around his favorite Kong toy, or transforming an ordinary plastic water bottle into the greatest treasure on earth, Nitro knows how to make every day an adventure.

Nitro is also a smart young dog with an excellent foundation already in place. He:

Walks nicely on leash
Knows sit and down
Is house-trained
Is crate-trained
Is highly food-motivated and eager to learn
Does well at daycare

With his intelligence, work ethic, and love of rewards, Nitro is the perfect age to continue building skills and deepening the bond with his future family.

Nitro is expected to remain on the smaller side for a male Belgian Malinois, making him a wonderful choice for someone looking for all the incredible qualities of the breed in a slightly more compact package.

One story that perfectly captures Nitro's confidence and adventurous nature happened during his very first boat ride. While many dogs might hesitate in a brand-new environment, Nitro hopped aboard like he'd been doing it his entire life and loved every minute of the experience. His willingness to embrace new adventures suggests he'll be an enthusiastic partner wherever life takes you—whether that's hiking trails, training fields, road trips, or simply spending time together.

Nitro is currently located in Ohio and is searching for a family that appreciates the intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty that make Belgian Malinois such extraordinary dogs. And willing to put in the time and effort to channel that brilliance and drive towards good. He is a young dog with enormous potential, ready for someone willing to invest in his future and enjoy the incredible journey of watching him grow.

If you're looking for a devoted companion, a training partner, an adventure buddy, and a best friend all wrapped into one handsome package, don’t miss out on this opportunity to adopt Nitro.

Are you ready to add a little Nitro to your life?
