🐾 LET’S TALK ABOUT SPICE… 🐾

Spice | 2 Years Old | Labrador/Shepherd Mix
❤️ Spayed | 💉 UTD on Vaccines
🎓 Graduate of the Puppies for Parolees Program

This girl has come FURTHER than almost any dog we’ve ever watched grow at the shelter. ❤️

When Spice first arrived, she was absolutely terrified. The world was a scary place, and trusting people didn’t come easily to her. But look at her now… 🥹

Spice has worked so hard, and she has blossomed into the most amazing girl.

She recently spent an overnight with a potential adopting family. She did become a little overwhelmed when things got active with one of the dogs in the home, so we know she’ll do best with a calm, respectful canine companion and proper introductions. But that one experience doesn’t define this girl — it simply helps us understand what type of home will allow her to thrive.

✨ Here’s what we know about Spice:
🏡 Housebroken
🐶 Good with calm doggos
🚶‍♀️ LOVES going for walks
🚗 Loves car rides — something she’s learned to enjoy!
☕️ Loves pup cups
🍖 LOVES treats
📺 Loves cuddling up on your lap and watching TV
❤️ And she absolutely loves her people!

Spice has put in the work. She has learned to trust. She has learned that car rides can be fun, walks are exciting, and sometimes the best place in the world is curled up beside your person.

And somehow… she keeps getting overlooked. 💔

Winter is coming, and we would LOVE nothing more than to see Spice spend it in a warm home instead of a shelter kennel.

She’s dreaming of cozy blankets, movie nights, warm cuddles, and maybe even a little hot cocoa by the fireplace. ☕️🧣🐾

Spice doesn’t need a perfect home.

She just needs HER home. ❤️

Let’s get this amazing girl out there and find her the family she has worked so hard to be ready for.

Come meet Spice. We have a feeling you’re going to fall in love. 🐾❤️

🐾 Meet David! 🐾

David is a handsome Bullmastiff mix who has been through more than his fair share of heartbreak.

David lost his beloved momma, and although friends and family stepped up to try to care for him, they simply weren’t able to provide the safe and secure environment he needed.

When David arrived, he was suffering from severe hair loss caused by fleas and conjunctivitis. Thankfully, with proper care, treatment, and plenty of love, David has made an incredible recovery! ❤️

His beautiful coat has grown back, his eyes are doing so much better, and he is looking healthier and happier every day.

David deserves a second chance at a loving home where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and part of a family again. 🐾❤️

Stay tuned for more about this sweet boy as we get to know him better!

💔 Please Keep Vivian in Your Prayers 💔

🐾 Vivian
🎂 2–3 years old
🐕 Mountain Cur Mix

Vivian’s story is one that we wish we didn’t have to tell.

This sweet girl was sitting in a neighboring town’s impound and was scheduled to be euthanized the very next day. We were already completely full and didn’t have the space to take another dog, but we simply couldn’t let Vivian’s story end there.

We figured it out. We made room. And we gave her a chance. ❤️

When Vivian was being examined for her spay surgery, we received devastating news. Vivian is pregnant—and she has a grade 6 heart murmur.

Because of her heart condition, she was unable to safely undergo her spay surgery.

Vivian now has an appointment with a cardiologist who will help determine the safest course of action for her moving forward. Unfortunately, carrying and delivering puppies could place her life in serious danger.

🙏 We are asking for all the prayers you can send Vivian’s way.

This girl has already been through so much. She was facing death simply because she had nowhere to go, and now she is facing a frightening medical situation that she never asked for.

But Vivian deserves a chance.
She deserves to know what it feels like to be safe.
She deserves love.
And she deserves a fighting chance at the life she should have had all along. ❤️🐾

Please keep Vivian in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate the road ahead with her. We will do everything we can to give this sweet girl the chance she deserves. 🙏💗

Please pray for Vivian. 🐾

Reagen

🐾 Meet Reagen! 🐾

💙 Mountain Cur Mix
🎂 1 year old
⚡ Energetic & ready for adventure!

Reagen’s story is one of those that reminds us why we do what we do. 💔

He found himself at a neighboring city’s impound, where he was facing the possibility of being euthanized simply because there was nowhere for him to go.

We were already completely full and had no space, but we just couldn’t let Reagen’s story end there. We found a way to accommodate him—and the female dog he came in with—and give them both a second chance. ❤️

Now Reagen is ready for the next chapter!

This handsome boy is energetic, fun-loving, and full of life. He’s looking for an active family who will give him plenty of love, attention, and adventures to keep his busy body and curious mind happy. 🐕💙

He was given a chance when the odds were stacked against him. Now he just needs someone to give him a forever home.

🏡 Could you be Reagen’s happy ending?
📍 Come meet him at the Adair County Humane Society!

🩷 Meet Swan! 🩷

🐾 Mini Aussie Mix
🎂 1 year old
🌸 Sweet, calm girl

Swan’s story is a little heartbreaking. Her mom is unfortunately incarcerated and made the loving decision to surrender Swan so we can help her find the forever family she deserves. ❤️

Swan can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but once she realizes she’s safe, she warms up quickly. She is a calm, sweet girl who is just looking for someone willing to give her a little time, patience, and love.

She deserves a family who will show her that her next chapter can be the best one yet. 🏡🐾

Could Swan be the missing piece to your family? 💕
Come meet this beautiful girl at the Adair County Humane Society!
