Meet Cherie, The Sweetest Blue Doberman Around!

Cherie is a stunning 2-year-old blue Doberman with a heart of gold. She absolutely worships her people and wants nothing more than to be by their side, soaking up love and affection. This special girl is as sweet as they come, and once she bonds with you, she’s your shadow for life.

Cherie is great with cats and, while she can be a little cautious with new dogs at first, once she feels comfortable, she loves a good game of chase with her canine friends. She just needs a little time to warm up, but once she does, her playful spirit shines!
Cherie needs a home with older children as she gets a little too rambunctious with her play but she just can’t help herself She is the perfect snuggler She will snuggle her way into your heart

Cherie has hypothyroidism and requires daily medication. The cost is around $55 per month, but thanks to her treatment, she is thriving and feeling better every day! With medication, her condition does not affect her at all She is a very sweet social girl

This incredible girl is looking for a loving home that will continue giving her the care she needs. In return, she’ll shower you with endless devotion, loyalty, and love. If you’re looking for a best friend who will cherish you as much as you cherish her, Cherie is the one for you!
Could you be the perfect match for this special girl? Cherie can’t wait to find her forever home!

Meet Grace & Kelly!
These 5-month-old sisters are an adorable mix of Golden Retriever and Doberman—and they’ve got big personalities to match!

Grace may be the smaller one, but don’t let her size fool you—she’s a feisty little explorer! Shoes, couches, tables… nothing is safe from her curiosity.
Kelly is the ultimate snugglebug—she wants to be held, give kisses, and be as close to her people as possible.

Both girls are learning the ropes: they go into their crate to nap when they’re tired and are working on “sit” (we’re getting there!). They’ve already mastered the art of couch snuggling and love curling up with you for a cozy moment.

If you’re ready to add some fun, love, and puppy energy to your life, visit our website and fill out an adoption application today!
And don’t forget to share—let’s help Grace and Kelly find the forever families they deserve!

Meet Edward!
This stunning 5-month-old Rottweiler/Husky mix has been waiting way too long for his forever family—and we can’t figure out why!

Edward’s foster mom says he’s awesome—a happy, smart boy who’s growing bigger and more handsome by the day. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and doing great with his obedience (still working on “stay” but getting better every day!). He LOVES going on walks, playing with his toys—especially his favorite “crunchy bear” with the squeaker—and making new puppy friends in the neighborhood.

Edward is sweet as pie and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He’s truly the perfect pup, and it’s time he finds the loving home he so deserves.

Let’s help Edward find his people! Share, tag, and spread the word!

Well well well… look who just joined the freedom train—everyone, meet Huckleberry. A 4-year-old Standard Parti Poodle, or as I like to call him, “The Forgotten Baby Daddy.” Huck has sired more poodles and doodles than we can count—his kids are probably lounging on designer dog beds right now, sipping puppuccinos and wearing matching bandanas. Meanwhile, good ol’ Dad? Yeah, he’s been hidden away like some kind of secret shame.

If any of those puppy buyers actually saw Huck and still handed over cash—shame on them. Seriously.

He just had an emergency groom (because he was basically one giant mat), and while he’s definitely feeling slightly more like a dog and less like a mop, he’s still got a long way to go before he becomes the fabulous Parti Poodle he was always meant to be. Underneath those mats was one giant oozy mess 😢

This boy is heartbreaking. He’s desperate for love—leaning into people like he’s trying to melt into them. He’s showing a little resource guarding with other dogs, but honestly? Can you blame him? When life teaches you that everything is a fight—food, affection, space—you learn to guard what little you’ve got. But now he doesn’t have to fight anymore, and we’re gently showing him that.

Huck’s in decompression mode, learning that there will always be another meal, another kind touch, and a warm place to sleep.

Keep an eye out for more updates on this sweet, broken-hearted boy. He deserves so much better—and now, he’s going to get it.
Thank you Emma for taking the time out of your day today to give Huck some much needed TLC! And my volunteers rock! If it wasn’t for them, Huck would still be waiting for help to arrive!
Love this team of mine ♥️🐾♥️

Meet Miko – The Sweetest Boy You’ll Ever Meet!

This is Miko, a 4-month-old Golden Retriever/Husky This little guy is the total package—gentle, loving, smart, and absolutely adorable.

Miko is currently in a foster home where he’s thriving alongside young kids and other dogs, and he’s doing amazing! He adores children, gets along great with other pups, and is learning quickly—he already knows how to sit and is picking up other commands with ease.

He’s also doing wonderfully with crate training and is sleeping through the night with no accidents—pretty impressive for such a young pup!

Miko is looking for a forever home family who will help him continue to grow into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. With his sweet nature and eager-to-please attitude, he’s going to make an incredible addition to one very lucky family.

Please don’t let this perfect pup wait too long—Miko deserves a home where he’ll be cherished and loved forever. Can you open your heart and home to this amazing boy?

Elfie has watched his sister, his mom and all his brothers find their furever homes But he is still patiently waiting for his own 🥺

Elfie’s foster mom says “Elfie is so great! I think he gets bigger every single day and he eats so much! He loves to play and wrestle with Dancer, our other dog, and our son. He does the funniest little happy dance when you are about to give him his food. He loves being outside hunting for sticks to chew. He is such a good boy, I can’t believe no one has scooped him up yet. “

🚨 URGENT: Our Dogs Are Filing Complaints 🚨

We need to talk. The dogs have had ENOUGH. They’ve formed a union (bark-powered, of course) and are demanding foster homes ASAP. Complaints include:

🐾 “My bed is a cold, hard floor. I demand a couch. Preferably one with human snuggles included.”

🐾 “Zero belly rubs in my current situation. This is unacceptable. Immediate remedy required.”

🐾 “I was told humans exist to give treats. WHERE ARE THE TREATS?!”

🐾 “Squirrels are running unchecked. I must be relocated to a home with a window so I can properly supervise.”

Fosters, we NEED you. The shelters are overflowing, and the only thing standing between these dogs and a life full of belly rubs, couch naps, and treat negotiations… is YOU.

We cover everything—food, vetting, supplies. You just provide love, patience, and a willingness to share your Netflix account with a four-legged goofball.

Apply today before the dogs start picketing!
