This is Nikki-Redd!! She is about a year and a half old. She's very sweet, playful, and just an overall happy girl. She is good with most dogs, ornery with the cat but not mean. Hasn't been tested with little kids, but would be OK with older ones. She's not real big, weighing in at around 50 pounds. She loves to go for car rides and is a super snuggler. She's obsessed with having her own toys. She's housetrained, potty trained, kennel trained and does really well on a leash. She's up to date on all of her vaccines and preventatives. We are currently doing a kill-off of heartworms and then she will still need a spay. She'd love to find a quieter place to recover from that. Please keep her sweet face in mind! ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

This is Hazel! She's not even one year old yet, but getting really really close. This one is absolutley full of personality. She will keep you laughing and smiling for sure. She is a lover of all dogs although she approaches everything and everybody with a little caution. She's pint sized, about 50 pounds. She had a pretty rough start to life and didn't get to be a puppy when she was a puppy so right now she's all puppy. But she's been taught to live in a house amongst others. She's very much housetrained, 98 percent potty trained, great with other dogs as long as they can handle her energy. Ornery as heck with the cat, but not mean. She does wonderful on a leash and loves her car rides and public outings where she can meet new friends. She will stay close by and has never ever left the yard. She is up to date on all of her vaccines and preventatives and she's scheduled for a spay soon. Please keep this sweet girl in mind. She's pretty dern awesome! ❤️❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

This is Smarty Marty Party Pants! Marty for short! 😍😍 You will not find a more loyal dog than this one. He's about 4 years old. Weighs close to 100 pounds. Not sure on his breeds, but thinking that he has shephard and akita in him. Marty is absolutley wonderful at home with the female dogs but cautious with the males and likes to scare them off. In public he ignores all other dogs and walks perfectly on a leash. He is very very patient and will lay or sit at your feet no matter where you are or what you're doing. He loves his car rides and leashed walks, but mostly loves public outings where he can watch your back and show off his wonderful behavior. He's cat curious but not mean at all. He's fully housetrained and potty trained and does not need to be kenneled at all, for any reason. He's pretty clingy but that's OK, it's his personality. He just wants to be loved. He's up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives and is scheduled for a nueter in the near future. Marty is good with kids but he doesn't have alot of exposure to them. He would probably do best with a mature adult of his own who would take him everywhere. He has all the traits of a well trained service dog. Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. ❤️

This is Mr Biggs!! ❤️ He's a big boy. He weighs about 120 pounds now. He's about 5 years old and he's a gentle giant who will force you to take him on car rides because that's his absolute favorite thing ever. That's where you can catch him with the biggest smile in the world! Otherwise he is pretty straight faced and looks like he wants to have a serious conversation about life. He's huge, but he doesn't jump on people. He's good with a few other dogs but slow introductions are a must and he wants his toys and food unbothered and untouched by any other animals. He is not okay with cats at all. Great with kids though! He's 1000 percent housetrained and potty trained. He's been here almost 4 months now and has never had a single accident in the house. He has his own room and he keeps that thing spotless. He's completley up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives and he is now neutered too! He would love to have a forever family of his own, he just needs to know that his food bowl will always be full and he will be nothing but loved and adored. ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰🥰

UPDATE: HE FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME AND HUMANS!! ❤️❤️

This is Potato! 😍 He's not much over a year old. And he's an incredibly good boy. Fun sized too, weighing in at around 50 pounds. He's fully vetted, up to date on vaccines and preventatives and he's been nuetured too. He's completely house trained and potty trained. Loves going for leashed walks and car rides. He's great with other dogs, but prefers to eat alone. He's cat curious but not mean. He has a thing where he gets really really happy and excited and does this little chomp chomp thing with his mouth and teeth. Because of this he needs a home without little bitty kids. He is not mean at all, he's just a chomper. He's full of personality and is just happy to be with his humans. ❤️ Location is near Kirksville Missouri but we are willing to travel within reason. 🥰

For those of you who don't know how this journey got started. This guy right here! ❤️ This was Mr Ludo. An abandoned soul who was left to fend for himself in the brutal cold in the middle of January. He was picked up by an elderly woman and stuck in a wire kennel in her front yard for about 4 days while waiting for somebody to claim him. I couldn't stand the thought of him being cold and confused like that, so I brought him home. Sketchy at first but he was an instant best friend. Instant soul bond. I loved that dog so much. He was killed by a passing truck right in front of me several months later. I have forgiven that man now, but I smelt the alcohol on him that evening, I was right there trying to get his attention, trying to stop the man. He didn't see either of us. It was instant. Mr Ludo did not suffer, but I did. Tremendously. I didn't even know what to do with myself once he was buried. About a month later I came across another abandoned dog, and then another, and then 2 more. It just wouldn't stop. My ideal was to pick them up, get them some food and water and call the shelter. With each new homeless dog came the same problem. No room in the shelters for them. No rescues could help. I called and called and emailed and messaged and begged and pleaded for a safe place for these dogs. I finally realized that I was that safe place. So what I did next was start getting them fully vetted and started looking for forever homes for them. Although it wasn't easy, it was worth it. I soon became buried in debt, I kept going. They needed me. Things just started working out. It's never been easy, but nobody gets left behind. Nobody. I'm still playing catch up with my finances and my sanity and it's August of 2025 now, 2 years later, and I am now in the process of getting fully licensed so I can continue this journey. Not for myself, but for The Love of Ludo and all the dogs who have nobody else to count on. ❤️❤️

UPDATE!! THIS SWEET BOY FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME AND HUMANS!! ❤️❤️

This is Ryland!! HE IS AMAZING!! ❤️❤️ He's a full blooded rottweiler. He's looking for a forever home and humans of his own. He used to have that but they tortured and abused him before throwing him out on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere to fend for himself. 😢😢 He's been with me for a few months now where he has been through a couple of operations for his injuries related to the torture and he has finally healed up completley and is ready to start his happily ever after. He is just a little over 2 years old, completley up to date on all of his vaccines and preventatives, he's been nuetured, and he's heartworm negative. He is an incredible young man. He's very very loyal. I think he would prefer to live with a single lady but would also warm up to men and he absolutely loves little kids. He can be ornery with the cat but not mean. He does well with other dogs and he loves to go on car rides but not on curvy hilly blacktops, he's been known to get car sick on them. He's 100 percent house trained and potty trained and has ZERO accidents. His main request would be that he wants to be able to sleep in the bed with his human. Crates and kennels are unnecessary with this guy. He also doesn't chew or destroy things that aren't his. You really couldn't ask for a better dog. Perfect would be an understatement with this one. He does well in public settings too. Because of the nature and location of his abuse, he will not be able to be adopted out locally. He is located near Kirksville Missouri but is very well known amongst people who are no good. There is absolutely no room for mis-haps that may come up and we are not willing to take a chance on him ending up back where he came from. Therefore travel arrangements can absolutey be made for the right family. Please reach out if you think you'd be perfect for him. He deserves the absolute best that this world has to offer. ❤️🙏❤️

Mr Scooter is looking for his very own forever home and humans.. Please reach out to Debb Allen with Against All Odds Animal Rescue for a meet and greet! ❤️

He's about 5 years old and weighs 30 lbs. He spent a couple of weeks wandering around a small town looking for his people with no luck. He's a good boy with a big personality. He's housetrained and potty trained, he's up to date on all his vaccinations and preventatives, he's been nuetered, he's been groomed and smells so good. He's pretty protective of what he calls home, he's also nervous around new dogs and people, but does great with the ones he is living with. He doesn't bother the cat at all. He's a stage 4 runner, so he will require a fenced yard or a tie out. He loves his car rides and pup cups. He just wants a family that won't throw him away. He literally just wants to be loved and cared for. Please share so we can find that for him.. ❤️🙏❤️
