Mystic has been with us for several years now. She's a very active girl who loves to play and get into mischief! She would be a wonderful companion for anyone who loves higher energy activities. Mystic likes to swim, run and just be a part of everything. She needs to be kept entertained and interested as she tends to get bored if she has nothing to do and noone to give her attentions to. She desires to be with her people and is great with other dogs. She understands when she does something that displeases you and is actually a very smart girl. She will sometimes go into an open doored crate to nap or chill out. We have a pretty regimented nap time here and she will calm down when everyone else does. Mystic will sometimes smile and its so cute! She would make a wonderful companion for an active person or family or someone who can be with her a good deal of the time.

Amira was also adopted recently. If you remember, she and her siblings were originally found as feral pups in the woods. Her sisters found homes pretty early but Amira remained in rescue. She also retained a lot of her wild side so it was difficult to place her because she would run from people. Happy news of adoption interest came months after her siblings had gone home and even happier news, it was from the home of one of her sisters! Amira joined her sister Bean (formerly Aria) and is coming out of her shell! This was just what Amira needed to free her from that final bit of feralness! She is making great strides in her new home, in just a short amount of time. Her mom and dad are special people who understood that Amira needed one on one attention and patience and they were willing to give it to her, just as they had done with her sister. We are so thankful to them for making Amira (and Aria) members of their family! This is one of those stories in rescue that make you smile because these puppies are safe, they are loved and they are cared for. They will never again be wild and at risk as they try to survive on their own. This is truly a happy tail that is coming full circle for two very special pups! We wish Amira, Bean (Aria) and their parents many wonderful years together. May you all make beautiful memories in the coming years! ❤️

We haven't posted our available dog album on our FB page for awhile so here is our updated pups! All of the dogs pictured here (except Christine who will be vetted soon) have been spayed/neutered and vetted. Some of our long time rescue residents need their annuals updated but we are working on getting those done as soon as we can. Our priority has been getting everyone spayed and neutered and started on vaccinations since we have some new arrivals. We have worked hard to teach the majority of our dogs proper house etiquette. For those who have been with us for some time, they do well in the house. We never guarantee fully housebroken once they leave us as transitions and adjusting to new schedules can take some time. Our new arrivals may still need work with learning and housebreaking. The majority of our dogs get along very well with other dogs and children. We must have good behavior here so we try to instill good social skills and behavior. We do not have cats here so we are not sure how most of our dogs are with cats. The smaller dogs are generally fine with proper introductions but some of the larger dogs may have high prey drives that are not compatible with cats. A few of the dogs we have knowledge of their cat history from their former owners, but not all. We also do not always know the history of our dogs or may only be given snippets so we don't have the whole picture or info about their behavior, health and temperament. Everytime we bring a new dog here, we take a risk but, for the most part, we have been very lucky over the years to have some wonderful canine companions come thru the rescue. We have been able to deal with most of the "issues" that our dogs come with so when they go to their new families, they are ensured of being off to a good start. Sometimes, you may need to carry on health care or training that we have started and sometimes, you get lucky and you don't have to do anything but enjoy your new pup but remember, these dogs have often had trauma or have been neglected and you are giving them their second chance. All of them are worth a home that is safe and filled with love. Not all dogs will fit your lifestyle or your family environment so please try to choose a dog who will to help ensure that the adoption is a successful one. Our pups (and you) deserve that! Check out full bios on each of our pups on either petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. Most information about each can be found on these sites, as well as our adoption application should you want to adopt. Remember that your likes, comments and shares help to raise money for the rescue and also helps spread the word.

Thank you everyone for coming thru for us and the pups! We received all of these bags of dog food (and a few more that had straggled in on Sunday). We are so thankful to everyone who sent food, a donation, and/or their support during our time of need! You all are amazing and without you, we could not continue to save lives. ❤️

Spot and Gizmo are now ready to find their forever families. Both are sweet, friendly boys weighing under 25 pounds. They are approximately 2 years old. They have lived most of their lives in an outside kennel so they will need some training with housebreaking. They were both found to be healthy boys, overall, with Gizmo having a minor ear infection, which we treated with Claro. Gizmo also tested positive for heartworms and is on the slow kill method. Both boys were positive also for hookworms and have received a drontal. They will make wonderful companions. More info, adoption fee and our adoption application can be located on our homepage on petfinder or adoptapet.

We are down to a couple of bags of dog food and our pups really love their food so if anyone wants to help by sending a bag or two, we (and they) would be eternally grateful! We can also use continuing donations to help offset veterinary expenses. In the 20+ years we have done rescue, there has never been another year that we have had such a need to ask for your help. We apologize for continually asking but it's become nearly impossible for us to afford to do this alone. Rising costs for everything, change of ownership of the clinic we have used for decades (who no longer sympathizes with the plight of these animals or our ability to help them without their help) and just the sheer numbers of animals being abandoned, dumped or not reclaimed by their owners has put a strain on the little guys, like us.
We have found some options for relief on vet costs but it's still expensive, especially when we are constantly vetting new dogs who come in who have never had any vet care and need to be altered, as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated and we can't say thank you enough to those who support our little rescue and our efforts to help where we can. We, absolutely, could not without you. We may not be the biggest and we may not be able to help as many as we would like, but we do what we can and what we are able to.
Remember, that your comments, likes, shares and interactions raise money for the rescue as well so it's important to take a minute to do that. It doesn't cost you a thing and it helps more than you know!
We managed to get 2 more dogs ready for adoption yesterday so we will be posting them soon!
Thank you for supporting our rescue efforts and for making sure our pups continue to be fed and healthy while they wait for their forever family!
