Meet Bambi!

This gorgeous princess is a five year old podengo mix weighing in at just shy of 55lbs. She's a bit stocky with short little legs and, very clearly, absolutely enormous ears. It's actually pretty difficult for us to get a photo of her that has her paws and her ears in it at the same time without anything being accidentally cropped out.

Bambi came to us after a house fire so she's feeling a little confused and a little displaced at the moment. It's taking her some time to settle in with us but she's a sweetheart through and through. She's a girl's girl and warms up to women much more quickly than men and she's always listening, intrigued by conversations going on in other rooms or just outside the door of the room she's in. She could have been trained as a guard dog at one point or maybe she just has those instincts, we're not quite sure, but either way she can be pretty protective of the people around her. Not at all in an aggressive way, but in an alert, paying very close attention to her surroundings kind of way.

She did previously live with a small dog and did wonderfully with her but she's a bit selective with other dogs. She's definitely more dominant in nature so would do best with a more submissive dog. No cats, please! We would also prefer that any kids in the home be 12+ since we're not sure if Bambi has ever been around smaller kids.

Bambi is a highly intelligent lady that loves going for walks. If her big ol' ears don't win you over, her goofy smile definitely will!

Meet Bok Choy!

This amazing guy is going to be a special needs adoption so please make sure that you have the time and the patience to commit to him!

Bok Choy is a three year old hound mix that weighs about 60lbs. He has been getting a little on the chunky side while he's been here with us (and he's been with us since August) so we've been working on getting him to drop a few pounds. He's a smart, happy, outgoing boy that just so happens to be entirely deaf.

One of the awesome trainers we work with Social Animal Dog Training has been teaching him hand signals rather than verbal cues and staff has been practicing with Bok Choy and enforcing it throughout the week and he's picking up on it very well! Life can be different for disabled dogs but Bok Choy has shown resilience and determination and hasn't let it get him down at all. He still enjoys his walks and getting the zoomies in our play yard and he LOOOOVES to sing the song of his people. (He can be very loud, probably because he can't hear himself, so shared walls are probably not a good idea for this guy).

We would prefer that Bok Choy be the only animal in the home though he has shown to get along well with other dogs. We would also prefer any kids in the home be 12+.

Bok Choy deserves to live a life outside his kennel and we're hoping to find him a forever family in time for the holidays. The reward you'll get in the shape of a loyal, loving, intelligent companion will be better than any gift under your tree. He'll show you time and time again how happy he is to just be alive and his zest for life will no doubt rub off on you too.

Meet Blaire!

Blaire is the sweetest itty bitty pittie! She's about three years old and she's a little princess weighing in at only 45lbs. She's a happy girl that loves being around people; she's definitely a social butterfly! She prefers people over toys and is a little bit of a velcro dog, meaning she likes to stick with her favorite people over anything and everything else. She walks well on a leash and actually needs to be lead more than she'll pull you around.

Blaire's FAVORITE thing? Playing with other dogs. She absolutely adores other dogs and gets instant zoomies the second she sees them.

She is, of course, afraid of cats.

If you're looking for a social little lovebug that's going to be a cuddle monster on these cold winter nights, Blaire is your girl.

We would prefer any children in the home be 8+ and, because she's a pit bull, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.

Meet Teddy Ruxpin!

Teddy has been with us for about five weeks now and we're still searching for his perfect forever home.

He's about five years old and he weighs around 17lbs. He seems to be a terrier/shih tzu mix. He came to us extremely, painfully matted and the only option was to shave him completely down. He's been much comfier since!

Teddy is a friendly little guy that loves to say hello to people! Unfortunately, he does seem to have a bit of only child syndrome so he'll need to be the only animal in the home. He's not outwardly aggressive however he can definitely get defensive if he feels cornered so to ensure a safe, stable living environment for everyone, we're seeking a home for him that doesn't have any dogs or cats. If there are kids in the home, we ask that they are at least 12+ and are able to respect boundaries.

He's a goofy guy that loves plush/squeaky toys and definitely loves his walks! Once the right home finds him, he's going to be an amazing addition that will love them just as fiercely as they love him.

We have a hen!

This is Dora the Eggsplorer. She came in as a stray and no one ever came for her so she's up for adoption now. She hasn't been laying eggs for us so far but it can be a pretty stressful environment here.
