How does a dog like Aubrey get absolutely NO interest?

Not one meet and greet.
Not one person asking to learn more about her.
Not one family saying, maybe she’s the one.

And we just don’t understand it.

Aubrey is only 2 years old and has so much life ahead of her. She’s social, playful, affectionate and loves being part of whatever her people are doing. She’s been working on all of those important “living in a home” skills house training, crate training and walking on a leash and she continues to make progress.

She doesn’t need to be anyone’s perfect dog on day one. She just needs someone willing to look at her and see the dog she can become with a home, consistency and someone who chooses her.

She doesn’t need hundreds of applications, just one willing to see Aubrey’s potential. One person who sees her face and stops scrolling.
One person willing to come meet her. One family willing to finally give this girl her chance.

Please help us get Aubrey in front of that person. Even if you can’t adopt, SHARE HER. Somewhere out there is the home she has been waiting for they just haven’t found each other yet. To apply for Aubrey email [email protected] today!

Where is this family dog’s family?

Vanessa has been in rescue since April. She has had inquiries and applications that resulted in het being ghosted or completely discarded. We can sit here and tell you how many pups have come and gone in the past months, and how Vanessa wonders when it will be her turn but the truth is that isn’t the truth at all. Vanessa doesn’t understand that she is caught in limbo, that she’s been passed by and hardly noticed.

What she does understand is that she walked into a home 4 months ago, possibly for the first time in her life. The humans welcomed her with open arms, the feline friends taught her what it meant to have respectful boundaries, the pups showed her how to play and socialize. Vanessa found out that meals were not a luxury but part of a guaranteed routine and they can even be followed by some yummy treats. Most of all she finally realized what it was like to feel good and healthy for the first time in a long time. As of today Vanessa is her best self, but the sad part is she isn’t able to share it with her forever family.

A 4 year old hound around 35lbs isn’t going to light up the adoption circuit, but we are hoping tonight she can at least steal the spotlight for a moment. She has come so far physically, emotionally, and socially. She truly has transformed into a family dog, that now has no family. If you are looking for a mid-sized family hound, that likes to give out a howl, make new friends, cuddle on the couch and fill your life’s dull moments with silliness then just maybe your are Vanessa’s forever family. For more information please email [email protected] today.

A Little Sweet, A Little Sassy, 100% Rootbeer!

Rootbeer is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix with a happy little personality and one very important requirement for his future family: he would like to be adored, please and thank you.

This little guy absolutely loves people, being petted, and soaking up as much attention as he can get. He’s not an overly active pup and is perfectly content hanging out with his person and being loved on. He’ll entertain himself with toys around the house, but given the opportunity and a lack of supervision Rootbeer may also decide that something not intended to be a toy deserves his attention. He can be a bit of a chewer, so keeping tempting items out of reach will be important.

Rootbeer walks nicely on leash but isn’t particularly interested in turning the backyard into his personal playground. Once he’s done his business, he’s generally ready to head back to the deck and resume supervising his humans.

His house-training is a work in progress. He has shown that he can go through the night without accidents and sleeps comfortably on a blanket on the floor. He will settle in his crate with a Kong when needed, although if he knows someone is home, he has no problem loudly reminding them that he would much rather be with them.

Rootbeer can also be a bit vocal and a little picky about his meals. Because of his tendency to get into things and his foster’s observations of him, we’re recommending an adult-only home without children.

His ideal match may be someone retired, working from home, or simply home often enough to give him the companionship and attention he really enjoys. He doesn’t need someone looking for a marathon partner—he needs someone looking for a little buddy who will happily sit beside them, play with his toys, take his walks, and soak up all the affection they’re willing to give.

Rootbeer may have a few quirks, but underneath them is an adorable, affectionate little dog who would love nothing more than having a person to call his own. If that could be you email [email protected] today!

Fezz is about 8 months old and is looking for a family who can give him exactly what a young pup like him needs, structure, consistency, stability, and plenty of love.

Fezz absolutely adores other dogs and kiddos. He would be thrilled to have some four-legged friends to play with. Cats, however, are another story. Fezz thinks harassing them is great fun, so unless your cat is the dominant, no-nonsense type who will quickly put him in his place, a cat-free home would probably be best.

Like many pups his age, Fezz is still a work in progress. He is continuing to work on his house training, crate training, and leash skills and will need a family committed to keeping up with that training.

Fezz is a great pup with tons of potential, but he is not the best fit for a first-time dog owner. He needs someone with dog experience who can provide clear boundaries and a consistent routine so he can continue becoming the best version of himself.

If you have the experience, patience, and stability Fezz needs, you might just be the forever home he’s been waiting for email [email protected] today!

Mocha is a beautiful 2-year-old Spaniel mix with a gentle personality and a whole lot of love to give.

She can be a little shy at first, but when it comes to people, it doesn’t take Mocha long to make friends. She adores human attention and will happily make her rounds saying hello to anyone and everyone. Once she decides you’re one of her people, you’ve got yourself one incredibly loyal girl who wants nothing more than to make you happy.

Mocha isn’t a super high-energy pup, but she definitely enjoys getting out for her daily walks and absolutely loves a good game of fetch.

When it comes to canine friends, Mocha appreciates the quieter crowd. Very enthusiastic or overly playful pups can be a bit overwhelming for her. She does best with **calm, well-balanced, low-key dogs** who are happy to coexist without constantly being in her space.

Her crate, leash, and house-training skills have come along beautifully, and we suspect Mocha may have lived in a home at some point before becoming a foster pup. She seems to understand the whole “living in a house” thing pretty well.

Mocha would thrive in a home where she can enjoy some consistency, her daily adventures, plenty of fetch, and—most importantly—a human or family to call her own.

She may start off a little shy, but give this girl a chance and you’ll quickly see just how much love she has waiting for you. If you could be the family for this sweet girl email [email protected] today!

Look who was adopted!

Little Leo, who is not so little anymore has found his forever family. This adoption may mean a new beginning for Leo, however it also winds down the chocolate lab rescue mission we started back in February. Just one property in South Carolina produced 26 puppies, 3 mommas, and 2 daddies over 6 months. They weren’t breeders, they were just people who didn’t believe in fixing their dogs. We are happy to say that vicious cycle has ended. The “bloodlines” will no longer continue. We brought in all 31 pups, had them fixed, vetted and now they are living here lives as beloved pets instead of property. We can’t stress enough how important it is to spay/neuter your animals. Reproducing gets out of hand so quickly, and before you know it 2 turns into 5 which turns into 30+. Thankfully Leo will never have to experience such an environment, and will continue to live the good life with his forever family!

Thank you to Krisanne and family for weaning and caring for Little Leo until he was ready to move onto his forever home.

This little scoop of sweetness is Gelato, a 3-year-old Pomeranian weighing in at just 10 pounds.

Gelato is a happy, outgoing little guy who seems to think everyone he meets is a potential new best friend. He loves people and pups alike. He has the kind of easygoing, social personality that makes him pretty hard not to love.

He’s sweet, friendly, fluffy, and conveniently travel-sized. What more could you ask for?

If you think this pint sized pup could be the o e for you email [email protected] today! As always help us get this handsome little guy seen by sharing his post.

Sometimes the road to forever takes a detour…

Hazel thought she had found her happily ever after, but that does not seem to be the case. It’s a crushing blow when this happens, but especially when it happens to a pup like Hazel. Her past has left her fearful of humans and over the past 6 months she has bonded with the adults in her home, although it took her a while to get comfortable with the men in the home. Starting over new is going to be absolutely devastating, but unfortunately that is the decision that has been made for her.

This 50lb chocolate lab mix is just about a year old. She is skittish in new environments and with new people, so a family will need to understand that a decompression period is essential. Hazel is a great companion to other pets. She currently lives with a kitty and canine friend. Unfortunately when she met children for the first time today she snapped at them, which is why she has been given her walking papers. This girl has a very fearful personality to begin with so we would not recommend a household with children or a chaos. Her start to life was less than ideal, and we are hoping this is just a bump in the road to her happily ever after. Hazel needs someone she can trust, someone that will give her the time and space to open up, and the stability of a good life. She truly is an excellent companion once she feels safe and comfortable. Could that be with you? Email [email protected]

Our favorite day of the week is here….

Eeyore, the Dreamer Who Keeps Dreaming

Every night, Eeyore closes his eyes and dreams the same dream… that somewhere out there is a family who will finally choose him.

He’s watched other pups come and go. He’s seen them get their happy endings, while he patiently waits for his turn. And somehow, our sweet Eeyore keeps dreaming.

He dreams of a couch where his spot is permanent.A person who knows all his little quirks. A home where he doesn’t have to wonder what comes next. A family that looks at him and says, “you’re ours.”

Eeyore has spent time in foster homes and has shown us what a wonderful pup he can be. He’s polite, smart, talkative, treat-motivated, and an expert snuggler. He’s done beautifully living with other pups and felines. Once he settles in, his personality really starts to shine. He isn't asking for anything extraordinary. Just someone willing to make his dream come true. He would do best in a home without small children as they make him nervous.

Until then, Eeyore will keep dreaming. We’ll keep believing. And hopefully, somewhere out there, his forever family is about to see this post. If they family could be you email [email protected] today!
