Hi… I’m Homer 🐾💔
My sister Lisa has gone home . I watched her leave— wagging her tail, heading off to warm laps and a happy family. Now it’s just me. The last one left.

I try to be brave, but sometimes it’s hard. I didn’t have the best start to life, and even though I’m safe now, my heart still remembers what it’s like to be scared. I curl up on my red bed and wonder when it’ll be my turn. When someone will finally look at me and see *me* — not just another shelter dog.

The people here love me so much. They give me treats, call me a good boy, and tell me that my forever is coming. I believe them, I really do. I just hope it’s soon… because I have so much love waiting for someone who will take a chance on me. ❤️

I’m gentle, I’m learning to trust, and when I play with another dog, I forget all the bad stuff for a while. I just need someone patient — someone who won’t give up on me.

If you’re reading this, maybe it’s you. Maybe you’re the one I’ve been waiting for. 🏡
Love,
Homer 🐶

Meet Odin with the heart of a Viking🐾
This long-haired sweetheart might be a kitten, but he acts more like a dog! He’s full of zest for life, always ready to play, and his very best buddy is—yep—a dog.

Odin’s story started out tough. As a tiny baby, his mom abandoned him. A kind lady stepped in, bottle-fed him, and nursed him through a battle with toxoplasmosis. Thanks to her love and care, Odin survived and thrived. Unfortunately, her husband’s cat allergy meant she couldn’t keep him, so she reached out to us to make sure Odin would never go without a safe, loving place.

Because of his early illness, Odin will always have a little wobble—but we think it just makes him cuter. And don’t worry, it doesn’t slow him down one bit! He runs, plays, and soaks up life with the biggest spirit.

His name means to inspire, and that’s exactly what he does. Odin is living proof that joy and resilience can overcome life’s hardest beginnings.

✨ Who’s ready to welcome this special boy into their family and be inspired every day?

Dog's Day Out - Ember

Meet Ember, our 2 year old mixed breed(Snuggle Bunny/Sweetheart). When Ember arrived she was in rough shape and all we could do was sit with her the first few weeks because of her injuries. During this time we learned what a sweet girl she was, even though she was miserable and in pain it didn't change her sweet demeaner.

Eventually her wounds were healed enough and we were able to start working with her, and she quickly became attached to us. If I was walking her she would want to go over and see my wife, and if my wife was walking her she had to come over and see me. She has been such a trooper during this time we decided to surprise her with a day out. The day arrived and of course it was drizzling out but that didn't stop us from going out. We had another surprise for her, we brought our dog along to keep her company.

The Car Ride: Since we had our girl along Ember had to ride in the very back in a crate. She was easy to get in the crate but was a whining on the trip to the Refuge. I don't know if she has scared or had negative memories of the crate(IE Trip to the vet) but my girl checked in on her and even whined with her a little. The trip to Tractor Supply she was Better, and the trip to DQ and back to the Humane Society she was much better. She did a great job getting out.

The Refuge: Ember and my dog had an early meeting, I think Ember told her she had more "street cred" in her paw than my girl had in her whole body and from that point on they were fine. Ember enjoyed the hike through the woods and around the lake, taking time to check out all kinds of smells. She got along great with my dog and they took turns checking out smells that they each found. It seemed like this was the first time Ember had an experience like this and after starting out cautiously she settled in and really enjoyed the hike.

Tractor Supply: We headed over to Tractor Supply to see how she would do in a busy and distracting setting and she did great. She met a couple of people in the store and interacted correctly. She was overwhelmed by all of the new spells and every aisle was a new adventure. She wasn't impressed by the dog toy aisle but loved the dog food aisle, stopping to smell each and every brand. Her favorite was the checkout where they spoiled her with treats and compliments. She loved the attention! Of course she didn't want to leave.

DQ: We headed over to DQ for a pup cup, and she waited patiently sitting to my girl while I went in and got their treats. I don't think Ember ever had a pup cup because she wasn't sure what it was. After a few sniffs she gave it a few licks. It took her a couple of minutes to process it and then wham, it was gone in one big lick.

Ember only really wants one thing and that is a home and family she can call her own. If you take Ember home you will get a loving dog who will be your best friend. She is great with other dogs, she currently hangs out with Cooper, our 1 year old, 70 lb Giant who can play a little rough, but Ember keeps him in line. When she looks up at you she will remind you the old toy, Pound Puppies.
