Bristol is such a happy, loving girl. She just can’t understand why she’s still waiting.
She truly has it all except a forever home.

🐾 3 years old
🐾 Spayed & vaccinated
🐾 Knows general commands
🐾 Great with kids and other dogs her size. Preferably males.
🐾 No cats, please

Bristol spends her days at the rescue being spoiled and soaking up love, but what she really wants is a family of her own. She’s ready to trade the rescue life for a couch, a yard, and a person to call hers.

Give Bristol the life she deserves. Come meet her and fall in love. 💕🐶

Niko just wants a place to finally call home. 🏡

This handsome Shepherd mix has been waiting patiently for his forever family and is more than ready to settle in. His puppies and their mother have all left and found amazing homes. He's still patiently waiting like a good boy.

• Shepherd Mix
• Approx. 2.5–3 years old
• Vaccinated & Neutered
• Kennel trained
• Potty trained
• Knows general commands
• OK with dogs his size (prefers females, may coexist with males)
• No cats
• Good with kids

All Niko needs is a yard to stretch his legs and a couch to crash on at the end of the day. He’s loyal, loving, and ready to give his whole heart to the right family.

Come meet Niko and see if he’s the missing piece to your home. ❤️

Thank you Anna S. We greatly appreciate your continued support. From adopting our little Winston to now making sure the animals here are spoiled a little more. We can't do it without people like you!

✨ Sweet Scarlett ✨

Scarlett is a beautiful 7-month-old girl with so much love to give. 💕
She’s kennel trained, potty trained, and currently working on leash training and general commands.

Scarlett does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and would thrive with an active family who’s willing to continue building her confidence and helping her blossom.

She was picked up as a stray, wandering the streets alone… and she’s still trying to understand why no one has chosen her yet. 💔
All she wants is a family to call her own.

📩 Send us a message to meet Scarlett. She’ll be so excited to see you and show you just how special she is. 🐾💗

Effective January 1, 2026, we will no longer be accepting animals that need to be spayed or neutered.
This means if a pet is not already altered, we will not be able to take it in.

Our rescue is funded entirely out of my own pocket, and we have to make responsible decisions to ensure our future and the continued care of the animals already relying on us. With current spay and neuter estimates from local veterinarians ranging anywhere from $700 to $1,400 depending on size, this is simply not something we can sustain.

We are currently on waiting lists for several lower-cost spay and neuter programs across the Bay Bridge and in Delaware, and we will continue to explore all possible options. However, until affordable solutions are available, this policy must be in place.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support as we make this difficult but necessary decision. Our goal has always been and will continue to be to do what’s best for the animals while ensuring we can keep saving those who truly need us.

We hope everyone has a safe and amazing New Year.
Thank you for standing with us and supporting our mission. ❤️

Niko dreams of a home where he can finally belong. A couch to relax on, a family to love, and a place where he’s chosen forever. He’s done waiting… Could you be the one he’s been hoping for? 🏡❤️
