These two are still waiting for their forever homes!! They are a nice compact size at 25 # with all the BIG dog energy!

This Sunday I had two wonderful volunteers that offered to handle Ayla and Nyx in Canine Fundamentals The Clever Canine so they can have more exposure with other people! Nyx already had class paid for, but if someone would like to sponsor Ayla’s class, that would be fantastic!

Both are available for adoption, Ayla is the silver in the far left corner; and Nyx is the black in the near right corner. They love to learn, please, and super food motivated. An active home or even someone wanting to get into sport events would have a great companion.

Arlo has been working hard at pairing with a potential candidate to be their service dog! 🐕‍🦺

With that being said we could use some help funding his next step in this long journey.

If you are an individual or business who might be interested in sponsoring a portion of the cost, contact us and we can give you details!

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and all donations go into the care and training of these rescues who we are training. Our goal is to provide these dogs to those in need who are unable to afford one on their own.

I suck at keeping social media updated! I have soooooo many pictures and videos but never seem to post them. Then add complications from medication change and you get a crashed out human who’s service dog literally won’t leave their side.

With that being said, I’m on the upswing and hopefully no speed bumps for a few weeks. So hope to maybe 🤔 get some stuff added!

These two are back and looking to be adopted again, due to no fault of their own.

So these two are back and up for adoption due to no fault of their own!! They are just two energetic adolescents who need an active home!

Ayla and Nyx here - We are original Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia alumni that was taken into the Hope Paws and Second Chances program for a chance to be trained for service work. Unfortunately, we do not like working in public or around a lot of stimulation. And would prefer to have a pet home instead.

Ayla here - Nyx and I were adopted together but we were just too much, so I came back and am looking for my forever home. I am an original Animal Friends of North Central West Virginia alumni that was taken into the Hope Paws and Second Chances program for a chance to be trained for service work. Unfortunately, I do not like working in public or around a lot of stimulation, as I take some time to adjust. So a pet home is more my style.
