✨Adoption/Rescue Available✨

Tucker is a handsome male hound around 3 years old with a fun, outdoorsy personality. He loves spending time outside, whether it’s playing, exploring, or just enjoying the fresh air. Tucker has done well with other dogs he has met, especially when introductions are respectful and boundaries are given.

Like many dogs, Tucker appreciates his personal space. If another dog gets a little too comfortable, he’s been known to give a warning to let them know—but he has never gone beyond that. He communicates well and would do best with dog-savvy companions who understand normal canine cues.

Tucker would make a great companion for someone who enjoys outdoor time and is looking for a playful, loyal hound. With the right home and continued positive experiences, he’s sure to thrive and be a wonderful addition to a family.

Tucker is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on rabies.

Meet Wi******er 🐾💙
Foster Needed!

Wi******er is a handsome 2–3-year-old male hound with a heart as big as his ears. He has been good with other dogs he has met here and friendly with people, and his super sweet nature makes him an instant favorite. True to his hound roots, Wi******er loves to use his nose and enjoys sniffing and exploring everything around him.

Wi******er is neutered and microchipped. Medically, he has tested positive for heartworm, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Lyme. He will need continued care, and a calm, loving foster home would make a world of difference for him.

✨ Important update: We are actively looking for a foster for Wi******er!
We are searching for for a foster home for him where he can receive the medical treatment that he needs. A foster would NOT be through us, it would go through Ring Dog Rescue who will be covering the treatment he needs. This sweet boy just needs a place to land so he can get the help and love he deserves.

If you’re able to open your home to Wi******er, please apply to foster here:

Fostering saves lives—and Wi******er is more than ready to follow his nose straight into a brighter future. 🐶💙
