❤Ivy is a sweet and joyful dog❤ who truly deserves a second chance at life. Rescued from the side of the road in poor condition, this brave girl has blossomed since being taken in. Initially timid, Ivy quickly warmed up to her new surroundings. She is fully vetted and spayed. She’s currently undergoing treatment for heartworms but is thriving in her loving foster home.

This happy little lady adores attention and is always eager for a good treat, walk, or play session. Ivy walks beautifully on a leash, is crate trained, and knows some basic commands. She’s well-adjusted to home life and can navigate stairs with ease. Nothing phases her—not even the vacuum cleaner! Ivy has a healthy appetite and enjoys car rides, making her the perfect adventure buddy.

Although Ivy is a velcro dog and loves to be with her human, she would fit best in a home with a playmate. While she’s friendly with everyone she meets, Ivy would thrive best in a cat-free home. She would benefit from a fenced yard where she can play and run.

If you’re searching for a playful companion who’s ready to share love and create wonderful memories, Ivy is the perfect match for you!

The easiest way to help a rescue is to share an adoptable dog's post. It only takes a second out of your day. You may be the connection to their perfect forever home.

Tater has been in his foster home for 11 months. That is ok. Our primary goal is to find the best home. Tater needs a very special home that understands his communication and needs. Tater is not for a first-time dog owner; he needs a home that will set him up for success. Please review bio for more information:

Look at our boy Gunner! 😍
As you may remember, we had a very difficult time finding him a home due to his heart issues caused by untreated HW's, the cost to maintain him medically due to his damaged heart and he needed to be the only dog. We NEVER gave up on him! We finally found an amazing "Perm Foster" family for Gunner in December of 2023. He is doing amazing!
Gunner loves getting all the attention as the only dog. He loves his foster mom and dad, and they love him just as much. They maintain all his medications as prescribed and vet/specialist visits to ensure he lives his best life. This is a big task with the number of medications Gunner requires daily for his heart condition.
He loves going for car rides daily, he loves his walks on cool days, and he loves playing with his toys. We couldn't be more blessed with the family that stepped up for him. ❤️

Good Information provided by

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!

This beautiful girl continues to wait for her forever home - so sad. Her foster mom writes:


Bonnie is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever fostered. Everyone that has met her has fallen in love with her. She is a cuddle bug and a velcro dog. All she wants to do is be with her human.

She enjoys dog chews, toys, and treats but her favorite thing in the world is attention from her human. She loves men, women, and kids. She is always happy, gentle, and appropriately behaved with whomever she meets. She walks well on a leash and really enjoys walking in the park. Bonnie loves car rides. She gets in the car well on her own, but is a little afraid when jumping out, probably due to her vision impairment. She is calm in the car and always falls asleep.

She has done great with other dogs she has met in my home and at the shelter. However, she needs a patient dog because due to the lack of vision in her right eye, she tends to bump into other dogs when walking or playing. She seems to really enjoy following my dog around the yard and just doing whatever he is doing.

Bonnie is a medium energy dog. She is very playful with other dogs and is also very vocal in her play. She doesn't always pick up on social cues from other dogs, but she does take corrections well. We would prefer for Bonnie to go to a home with another dog friendly dog. She loves the companionship and playtime with other dogs. She would not do well as an only dog.

All in all, Bonnie is a wonderful, intelligent, social dog. She has so much love to give and is so deserving of a forever family that will return that love.

If you can give the perfect home to Bonnie, please complete the application at the following link:

Assuming all our rescue friends have heard about this tragic story out of New York?

The hearts of all rescue animals beat the same. RIP Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Racoon. You were loved by many 💞

Shame on all involved in the death of both! 😡
