Meet Penny – Professional Lovebug
Penny is an 8-year-old, 70 lb Shepherd mix who will cover you in love every single day. She is spayed, house-trained, and can be trusted to free roam when you aren’t home.

More than anything, Penny just wants love and she’s not shy about asking for it. If you stop petting her too soon you’re going to get a playful paw smack as her way of saying, “Hey, I wasn’t done yet.” She shows her affection in the best ways, from leaning her whole body against you like a furry weighted blanket to smothering you in kisses. She also enjoys her walks and is a calm, loose leash, non-reactive walker.

In her foster home, Penny has learned to live peacefully with two cats after an initially curious start, so she will need slow introductions to dog-savvy cats. She also currently lives with two dogs, one small and one her size, and does well with them after proper introductions. Penny loves every human she meets, though her enthusiasm could knock over smaller children.

If you’re ready for the kind of dog who makes a house feel like a home, who will curl up beside you on the couch, rest her head in your lap, and remind you every day how good it feels to be loved then Penny might just be the dog for you!

🐾 Meet Moochie! 🐾
This 4-year-old, 10.9 kg cutie is pure love wrapped in fur! Recently returned to rescue (through no fault of his own), Moochie is looking for a dog-savvy forever home that understands his quirks 💛

First and foremost - Moochie is not too fond of men. He gets very upset when a male enters his space. We are working with a trainer to help him get over this fear. He’s house-trained, loves walks, car rides (especially if ice cream is involved 🍦), and snuggles up close at night. Moochie gets along great with kids and his foster family’s resident dog. However no cats

He can be a bit barky with new visitors, but with a little patience and love, he’ll settle right in. He’s also very curious about cats—stares, growls softly, and seems unsure what to do next 😄

Moochie eats well, cuddles better, and is ready to be cherished like he deserves. 💕

Meet Rosie & Daisy Mae 💕
This sweet mother-daughter duo is still searching for their forever home—together.

Found abandoned in rural Oklahoma, Rosie and Daisy Mae came to us in the summer of 2024. Since then, they’ve been patiently waiting… but not a single application has come in.

These two are as loving as they come. The moment you sit down, they’ll be in your lap, snuggling close. They do bark and aren’t fans of being left alone, so apartment living isn’t ideal—but their joy when you return is priceless.

They love going on walks, though they’ll let the neighborhood know they’re out and about with some barking. With a proper introduction, they get along well with other dogs. But no cats, rabbits, or squirrels, please!

They’re p*e pad trained, but once they learn your routine, they rarely need it.

Rosie, the mama, is protective and takes a little time to trust—but once she does, it’s so worth it. Daisy Mae is the instant lovebug, eager to shower you with affection.

These girls are bonded for life, and we would never dream of separating them. 💞

Could you be the one to give Rosie and Daisy Mae the home they deserve?

🐾 Meet Ricky – Ready for Forever 🐾

This sweet 13-year-old gentleman has been in rescue for almost 5 months, and we know his perfect match is out there. His personality continues to blossom every day, and we’re learning more about what makes him so special.

Ricky is:
✨ Fully trained
✨ Has almost perfect recall
✨ Super cuddly with his humans
✨ Very food motivated (training is a breeze!)

He’s an easygoing guy who:
🚗 Loves car rides
🐾 Enjoys his walks
🐶 Has a blast at daycamp

Ricky would thrive in a quieter home with low foot traffic, either as a solo dog or with calm, respectful canine companions. The high energy of young pups isn’t his thing — he’s a chill senior who values peace, naps, and cozy vibes.

Ricky deserves a home where he can settle in and be adored for all his quirky, lovable ways.

💛 Could that be with you?
