FOSTER FOUND

Bread is a 4 month old male goldendoodle and needs a foster while he completes his vaccination series. He is great with other dogs and kids.

Fosters also get first dibs at adoption! Please keep in mind doodles require an extensive amount of grooming care. And yes, doodles still do shed.

Please apply to foster if you are interested. Bread will be available for adoption in 3 weeks if his foster does not adopt. Any adoption surveys received for him will not be processed at this time.

“Looking for love… and maybe your snack.” 🍕🐶

Meet Titan – the big softie with an even bigger heart!

Don’t let the mighty name fool you — Titan is really just a tender, loving pup wrapped in a clumsy, oversized package. 💖 He’s sweet and friendly with humans of all sizes, and there’s nothing he loves more than cuddles and attention. If you’re looking for a lap dog who doesn’t realize he’s not actually lap-sized, Titan’s your guy. 🐾

Meet Rizz – the ultimate gentle giant! 💖

Rizz is a super sweet, laid-back love bug who’s happiest just being by your side. She adores human affection and will gladly trade playtime with other dogs for snuggles and attention from her people.

✨ About Rizz:
🐾 Gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and even non-reactive to penned chickens
🐾 Well-mannered in the house - sleeps all night in her dog bed
🐾 Listens well and behaves beautifully
🐾 Has a big, deep bark—but only uses it when appropriate
🐾 Full of wiggles, wags, and kisses when her humans return home
🐾 Working through some separation anxiety, but her joy when reunited makes up for it
🐾 May sneak a snack off the counter if you’re not watching 😉

Rizz is gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loyal—she’s simply looking for a family who will love her as much as she loves them. She’s truly a treasure waiting for her forever home. 💕

Looking for more specific information? Head over to our website and read her complete bio. No breed questions please. If we know a dog's breed we will share it.

🎉🐾 21 Happy Tails Alert! 🐾🎉

What’s better than one adoption? Twenty-one of them! That’s right — 21 amazing pups have packed their bags (and squeaky toys) and trotted off into their forever homes this week! 🏡💖

From McFlurry (who is hopefully being spoiled with ice cream cuddles 🍦) to Polly Pocket (small but mighty 🐾) to Big McIntosh (big name, even bigger heart 🍎), every single one of these cuties has found their perfect match.

✨ Say congratulations to:
Nani • Crumpet • Cabo Wabo • Stormfly • Ruffnut • Furby • Shannon • McFlurry • Scootaloo • Polly Pocket • Delphi • Skipper • Eleanor • Rosalyn • George • Sailor • Finch • Corazon • Derpy Hooves • Tenderhoof • Big McIntosh

We’re so grateful to our adopters, fosters, and supporters who make these “home sweet home” stories possible. 💕

Here’s to 21 more lives changed — and many more to come! 🐶🎉

Back in June, Tilly was rescued from a severe hoarding case. When she first came to us, the world was a scary place. 💔

Thanks to our incredible fosters and volunteers, she’s slowly learning that people can be kind, gentle, and safe. ❤️ She still has some work ahead of her, but she’s making big strides—especially enjoying her new favorite activity… weekly hikes! 🥾🌲

Every paw step forward is a victory, and we’re so proud of this brave girl. 🐶✨

Rescue is messy, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming—but it’s also full of magic, kindness, and second chances. 💛

This series is our chance to pause the chaos and spotlight the heart of our mission: our incredible fosters and volunteers.

It’s easy to get lost in the hard parts. Let’s not forget the good. Let’s celebrate it. 🐾
