Jax is STILL waiting for his furever family!💔

For over three long months, Jax has been patiently waiting for his forever home… and heartbreakingly, he even spent the holidays without a family of his own. While others curled up with their people, Jax waited, hopeful that his turn would come.🥺

Jax is a 3 year old Boxer with the softest heart and the sweetest soul. He is incredibly well-mannered, loving, and devoted to the people he trusts. Unfortunately, the first six months of his life were not kind to him.☹️ Those early experiences, along with being attacked by other dogs later on, left lasting scars—not on his body, but on his heart. Because of this, Jax can be dog-reactive, especially toward male dogs or dogs that are not submissive or friendly.🥲

Despite everything he’s been through, Jax has never lost his love for people. He thrives on human connection and just wants to be someone’s loyal companion. He would do best in a home with no other dogs, though with an experienced and patient owner, he may do well with a very submissive female dog.😊 What matters most to Jax is having a calm, understanding home where he can finally feel safe.❤️‍🩹

Jax is an energetic boy who needs an active owner ready to give him the physical exercise and mental stimulation he craves. He loves long walks, playing ball, and soaking up every moment spent with his people. He knows all his basic commands, does great in a kennel, and transitions beautifully into a home environment!🥰

All Jax wants is what every dog deserves—a chance. A family. A place where he can finally stop waiting and start living. He has so much love left to give and is just hoping someone will look past his past and see the amazing dog he truly is. ❤️

Could you be the one to give Jax the forever home he’s been dreaming of?🐶

🐾 Meet Muggsy! 🐾

Muggsy is a golden doodle and is a very happy, energetic boy who will be 2 years old March 16th! He’s a social pup who loves playing with other dogs and enjoys being active and engaged. Muggsy knows his basic commands, responds well to training collars, and does great off-leash.🥰

He’s an adventure buddy at heart and has experience backpacking and carrying his own pack, making him a great match for someone who enjoys hiking, outdoor activities, or an active lifestyle. Muggsy thrives when he has space, structure, and regular exercise, and would do best in a home that can offer those things consistently.🙂

This sweet boy has so much love to give and is looking for a home where he can continue to learn, explore, and be part of the action. Muggsy would be an amazing companion for the right person or family ready to give him the time, space, and adventures he deserves 🤍

If you are interested in adopting Muggsy please reach out to us and we will give the contact info for his current person!😊

Returned & Still So Full of Love — Meet Deebo again💙
All Deebo wants for Christmas is a furever family ❤️‍🩹🎄

Sweet Deebo just can’t catch a break. After being adopted, this handsome almost-5-year-old boy has found his way back to us again — this time because he was slipping out of the yard by tearing holes in the fence.
He’s still the same gentle, goofy, love-soaked boy we adore. 🩵

Deebo is about 40 lbs, kennel trained, LOVES walks on a leash, and lives for his ball, new toys, and treats. He has that perfect mid-energy vibe — happy to play, equally happy to relax by your side.
Deebo’s needs:
✨ A home with a secure yard (reinforced fencing or supervision outside)
✨ Or someone who doesn’t mind leash-walks / structured outdoor time
That’s it.

He gets along with other dogs, cats, and kids, and truly just wants stability and love. He’s been let down more than once, and it’s time he finally lands the forever family he deserves. 💙

No dog should sit in boarding, especially one this sweet, and especially this close to Christmas 🥺
Could you be the person who finally gives Deebo his happy ending?
Foster or adopt — he’s ready with a full heart and a wagging tail. 🐾
