How has ❣️Mavis❣️ not found a home yet? 🤯

She is 6 months old, very calm for her age, will probably not be larger than 50lbs, crate and potty trained, loves other dogs, does fine with cats, good with kids/men/women, she just can’t live around chickens. She is a lab mix!

She has a great off leash recall as long as she isn’t chasing a chicken 🐓

Please share or tag friends who might want to add this sweetie to their family 💞

We love getting pictures from adopters. If you’ve previously adopted a dog, please send us all of the adorable photos that we KNOW you have!

Alumni update: Hazel 💞

Hazel is thriving and beyond spoiled in her new home! She has 2 rottie besties who live next door and they LOVE their play dates. She goes home and crashes after running and wrestling with them ✨🐶

VOLUNTEER NEEDS:

1) We need an established volunteer to do the breakfast shift (8am or earlier) Thursday morning. Chantelle will just be getting back from Paris and will certainly be jet-lagged ✈️

2) Our laundry pile is turning into a mountain again, so if anybody is willing to take a load to the laundry mat, it would be greatly appreciated!

3) We will be making up flyers to advertise our dogs available for adoption in business windows! We would love for a volunteer to take them around, ask businesses, and tape them to windows 💖

4) As always, cleaning and p**p scooping is always needed! These are tasks that don’t even require you to touch the animals if that’s not your thing.

Please let us know if you can help!

💖 Harley 💞

Harley is a people-shy girl who is also a bit of a velcro dog. She becomes confident when she has a K9 companion around! She would do well with an older buddy!

Her recall is strong and she is working hard on impulse control in her foster home. She has mastered sit and down. She also does great in the kennel considering she is new to it. Harley is working on the "place" command and "stay". She is very smart and affectionate. She would do well in an active home that is dedicated in continuing her training.

She has only seen cats from a distance, but acts scared of them 😅

Are you willing to give her a chance? She won’t be excited to see you right away, but she will become OBSESSED with you within a few days and you’ll have a life-long friend 💖

Something WONDERFUL happened at our adoption event last weekend….. someone walked up to our table and asked which dog had been here the longest.

Our volunteers pointed out BB and asked if he was interested in adopting. He said he already had “too many dogs” (no such thing in our opinion) but he wanted to sponsor our longest resident 😱🤯 he donated her ENTIRE adoption fee via Venmo.

We are shocked and so grateful, however we realized that there is another duo who has been here just as long as BB. Cooper and Bailey are a sweet senior duo that we would love to get adopted together.

We feel they would also benefit from a reduced option fee, so we are splitting that very generous donation between these 3 dogs 💖

Ask us about these 3! We would love to see them in their forever homes 🥰

💙 Rooster 🐓 (available for foster or adoption)

He absolutely loves people! He is good with kids, but might accidently knock down little kids when excited. He has lived with kids, dogs and cats, but was not getting along with one of the other dogs in the home. We will require a meet & greet if you have other dogs 💙

Rooster needs to be on leash or in a fenced in yard, as he tends to wander. He is very smart and learns quickly, he just needs someone to take the time to train him a bit more 🐶

He will sleep in a kennel at night in your room. He has also gotten used to being kenneled when you leave the house, but he does fine free ranging in the house too!! 🥰

He loves to run and go on walks, loves snuggles and squeaky toys! He is fixed, vaccinated and ready for his forever home!! 🐾

Do you guys remember Akira?

Here she is, spoiled and thriving in her new home! 💞

How lucky are we that a local photographer found us, volunteers her time at the sanctuary, adopted one of our dogs, and spends so much time getting and editing these fantastic photos for dogs needing to be adopted?!

A picture is their first impression and is usually what makes an adopter fall in love, even before meeting the dogs 💖💞

We strongly recommend Two Beauties Photography for your pet photo needs 😍 a link to their page is listed on the comments!

We primarily rely on foster homes to care for the dogs at the sanctuary! We have more dogs than we have EVER had before and have started turning dogs away due to a lack of space 💔

These are the pups who are currently in need of foster homes, but the list of incoming dogs grows daily! Please share and tag any friends who might consider fostering!

We will pair you with a dog that matches your household and lifestyle and we will provide everything you need (food, crate, treats, toys, vetting, leash, etc) 🩷
