4. Willie
Meet Willie!
Willie’s story starts with a second chance he was pulled from a high-kill shelter just in the nick of time, arriving with a microchip that had never been registered and no one ever came to claim him. Their loss is your gain, because Willie is truly one of the good ones.
This sweet, 3-year-old, 50 lb boy is a people-lover through and through. The moment you start petting him, something magical happens his whole face lights up into the biggest smile, his body goes soft and wiggly, and he melts right into you. He just wants to be loved, and he gives it right back.
Read more about Willie
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.

5. Ruger
Meet Ruger
Ruger is a handsome, intelligent boy who has really started to show us who he truly is. At first, his intense personality and barrier reactivity toward certain dogs made us cautious, but as he’s settled in, we’ve seen a completely different side of him emerge.
Ruger has done wonderfully with several dogs in playgroups, Watching him play for the first time was such a rewarding moment! Even when another dog got overly excited around treats, Ruger stood his ground appropriately and did not react negatively. He seems to thrive once he knows and trusts his “pack.”
Read more about Ruger
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

Meet Laverne
This sweet girl came to us from MADACC in Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past but her future is going to be great!!
Read more about Laverne
Her first day in foster she was already comfortable with the other dogs. She is all about walks and being outside if the weather is nice. Where does see sleep? Well, we tried the kennel but she wasn't a fan. Instead Laverne used the doggie steps and found her way to foster mom's bed. She is so sweet and snuggly we don't mind at all.
We never have to ask where is Laverne because she is always right by your side or near your feet. She's doing great with potty training and she's a good little eater.
Let's talk about her cutest feature those ears. Man she tells stories with them. One time there both up. Sometimes one is high and one is low. So adorable!!!

Bio: MEET HERSHEY! A little dog with a LOT of potential!
Hershey came to us from MADACC, a Milwaukee shelter, and we're learning more about his story every day. ❤️
Read more about Hershey
Hershey came from a hoarding situation with approximately 30 other dogs. That means the world as most of us know it is still pretty new to him. He's missed out on a lot of the things other dogs take for granted. Basic training, confidence, socialization, and learning how to navigate life in a home are all things he'll need help with.
But here's what we're already seeing... Hershey WANTS to learn!
In the short time he's been with us, we've seen that spark. That curiosity. That little bit of drive that tells us he's ready to figure this whole world out. He just needs someone willing to show him the way.
Hershey isn't a finished product. He's a work in progress, and that's okay! He'll need patience, consistency, encouragement, and someone who understands that confidence isn't built overnight.
But imagine being the person who gets to watch him discover all the things he's been missing. The first time he realizes he can do something new. The first time he tackles something that once scared him. The first time he truly believes in himself.
That's the magic of giving a dog like Hershey a chance.
He has so much potential, and we cannot wait to see what he becomes with a little love, a lot of patience, and someone in his corner.
Could you be Hershey's person?

17. Winnifred
Meet Winnifred, your very own personal cheerleader!
Whatever your plans are, Winnifred is your biggest supporter! Taking a nap? She's in. Going for a run? LET'S GO! Laying on the floor? Sounds amazing. Doing laundry? BEST DAY EVER!
Honestly, she doesn't care what you're doing, as long as she's doing it with you!
Winnifred loves EVERYONE, including kids, and firmly believes personal space is completely unnecessary.
She's still working on her leash manners because apparently "going for a walk" translates to "FULL SPEED AHEAD!" in Winnifred's world. She does ride nicely in the car, though. Being a Passenger princess is her second job.
Read more about Winnifred
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.

Meet Ruthie, a Louisiana girl looking for her happily ever after!
Ruthie traveled many miles all the way from Louisiana with one big hope: finding the loving forever family she so very much deserves.
Read more about Ruthie
This beautiful, blue-eyed girl came from a small shelter where opportunities to be seen were limited. She waited there for over two months before finally getting her chance to make the journey to Wisconsin and begin a new chapter. Now, we're determined to help her find the happy ending she's been waiting for!
Ruthie is a shy girl who is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. She'll need continued socialization, patience, and understanding as she learns to feel safe and confident. Having another confident, friendly dog in her forever home could be a huge benefit, giving her a furry friend to follow, learn from, and look to for reassurance.
The best part? She's already beginning to come out of her shell! In the short time she's been with her foster family, Ruthie has started venturing out to observe all the hustle and bustle of her busy foster home. She's taking it all in at her own pace, and when the world gets a little overwhelming, you can find her favorite safe spot: the comfy recliner. ❤️
We know confidence won't happen overnight, but we're hopeful that with each passing day, Ruthie will continue to discover just how wonderful life can be. She may not be the girl who runs up to everyone right away, but sometimes the most rewarding friendships are the ones that take a little time to bloom.
Now, we're looking for someone special. Someone patient, kind, and willing to let Ruthie blossom at her own pace. Someone who understands that earning her trust is a journey worth taking and that beneath those gorgeous blue eyes is a girl with so much potential.
Ruthie has waited long enough for her chance. Could you be the person who finally shows her what forever love feels like?
Apply to adopt Ruthie today and help this sweet Louisiana girl write the next chapter of her happily ever after!

Adopting a dog in Valders
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
