UPDATE: pending

Meet Rhea! 🐾

Rhea is a sweet, energetic 4/5 month old Blue Heeler mix who is always ready for her next adventure! This girl has plenty of energy and would thrive in a home that can keep her busy, whether that means giving her a job to do, enjoying an active lifestyle, or getting involved in fun activities together.🥰💝

Because Rhea has a natural herding instinct, she would do best with older, dog savvy children who understand her energetic personality! 🐶🐾 She’s a wonderful girl with so much potential, and she deserves a family who will give her the structure, exercise, and mental stimulation she needs to thrive.💞

If you’re looking for an active, loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with love, Rhea may be your girl! ❤️🐾

🐾❤️ Meet Lola! ❤️🐾

Some of you may remember this sweet girl, Lola was adopted from us a few years ago, and we are now helping her find a new forever home due to unfortunate circumstances.🥹💞

Lola is an almost 4 year old, 50–60 lb Lab mix whose birthday is September 1, 2022. She is spayed, house trained, kennel trained, and up to date on her vaccines. She has so much love to give and is truly the sweetest girl once she feels safe and comfortable.🥰🐶
Lola can be a little shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, her sweet personality shines through! She absolutely loves cuddling on the couch, getting belly scratches, chewing on her favorite bones, playing in the pool, and running and stretching her legs. She knows several commands, including sit, lay down, shake, speak, and taking treats gently. 🥰🐾

Lola would do best in an active home where she gets consistent exercise and plenty of love and attention. She could be the only dog in the home or live with one other younger/playful dog. Lola has not been around a cat in years so we are unsure how she is with cats.
Lola has so much love to give. ❤️ She is looking for someone who will give her the time, consistency, and understanding she needs to truly blossom into the confident, happy girl we know she can be.🥹☀️

If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will happily curl up beside you on the couch after a good run, Lola may just be your girl. 🏡🐾❤️

Hi, I’m Bradley!🧡

I’m close to 5 months old now and everyone thinks I’m a shepherd mix! I’ll be a pretty big boy when I’m all grown up, which just means there will be even more of me to love!🤭

I’m the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet, and once I get to know you, I’ll happily be your little shadow!🐾 I can be a bit shy when I first meet new people or explore new places, but i warm up very quickly and I’m learning every day that the world isn’t such a scary place. With a little patience, encouragement, and lots of love, my goofy and adventurous personality starts to shine through!🥰 I’m a pretty chill boy right now and LOVE lounging in my foster mom’s bed but i always love to take a run in the yard too.😆

I absolutely love other dogs and would really enjoy having a confident dog sibling to help show me the ropes.🐶 I’m also quite curious about cats but i think I’d do just fine living with one, once i get used to them. I would do well with older kids as younger kids can be a bit much for me.🥹

I’ve been working really hard on all my puppy manners! I’m doing great in my kennel, I’m learning to walk nicely on a leash, and I’m doing an awesome job with potty training. I’ve even started figuring out the doggy door like a pro! I’m a smart boy and pick up new things quickly, especially when I have someone cheering me on.☺️

I’m looking for a family that understands I may need a little extra confidence at first but knows just how rewarding it is to watch a shy puppy blossom. Whether I have a playful dog friend to help guide me or a patient family that’s ready to help me build my confidence, I know I’ll become the most loyal, loving best friend!🐾

I can’t wait to find my forever family and finally learn what it’s like to live life with nothing but love, adventures, and happy tails!😍

Remember Pickles?🩷 She’s looking for a new home!

Unfortunately, Pickles is no longer getting along with the other dogs in her home, so she is looking for a home where she can be the only dog and enjoy all the love and attention for herself as she ages.❤️‍🩹

From her owner:

Pickles is a 30lb, 7 year old mixed breed female, born in March 2019. She is fully house trained, spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations, and receives monthly heartworm prevention. Her last annual veterinary checkup was in December 2025.

She is kennel trained and actually enjoys spending time in her kennel with the door open, it has always been her safe space.

Pickles is a naturally shy and reserved girl who takes a little time to warm up to new people and new situations. She may seem timid at first, but with patience and kindness, her sweet personality begins to shine. Once she trusts you, she is incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, and will happily soak up all the belly rubs you have to offer. She is a great listener and knows the commands come, sit, and down.

Because of her shy nature, she can be nervous around men, especially those with loud voices, and she is not a good fit for a home with children.

Pickles has shown aggression toward other dogs in the past, so she is looking for a home where she can be the only dog. She can tolerate cats but may chase them occasionally. She does well around outdoor chickens and ducks.

She enjoys going for walks, chewing on bones, and curling up on the couch with her favorite person. She’s a lower-energy dog who is happiest just spending quiet time with her family.

Pickles is a special girl who simply needs someone willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves. Once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and so much love.❤️

Hi, I’m Buckley!🤎

I’m almost 5 months old, and I’m a handsome Shepherd mix with the sweetest heart you’ll ever meet! I made the long trip here from Texas a couple of weeks ago, and even though everything was new and a little scary, my foster family says I settled in almost right away. I guess I just knew I was finally getting a chance at the good life.🥹

If you’re looking for an easygoing, happy go lucky puppy, I think we should meet! I love making new friends and have done great with everyone I’ve met. Dogs? Yep! Cats? Yep! Kids? ABSOLUTELY!❤️ I love being around my people and am always ready for belly rubs, snuggles, or a little playtime.😆

I’ve also been working really hard on being the best boy. I’m doing great in my kennel, making awesome progress with potty training, and learning all about how to be a well mannered pup!😊 My foster family says I’m such a good boy, and I try my very best every single day!

Now, I won’t pretend I’m already a perfect grown up dog…I’m still a puppy after all! That means I have lots to learn, and I’ll need a family who is excited to teach me all the important things as I grow. With patience, love, and consistency, I know I’m going to grow into the most loyal, loving best friend you could ever ask for!🐾

More than anything, I’m dreaming of a family to call my own, a place where I can grow up, make memories, and be loved forever. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, goofy moments, endless cuddles, and a best friend who will love you with his whole heart, I promise I’ll give you everything I’ve got.🤍

I can’t wait to meet my forever family…maybe it’s you!🐶✨
