SWEETS FOR CHRISTMAS!! Welcome Sweets! Baby girl came from a hoarding case in Western Kentucky and has been with us a couple months to overcome some fear which she developed from her background. She sadly was the last dog at the shelter from that case and was continuously passed up as she often shied away from new people. Sweetie pie deserves to finally find her forever home, HOPEFULLY THAT’S WITH ONE OF YOU! She will need a patient owner who is willing to commit to her and show her all the love as she comes out of her shell. She enjoys showing little signs of affection such as gently licking your fingers. Who needs an adorable little bestie who needs you just as much as you need her?!

Merlin is one of a kind he is one of the most stunning dogs we have had the pleasure of bringing into our rescue. Merlin is a loyal and precious companion. He follows his foster mom everywhere and likes to “assist” her with tasks. He demands to sleep in bed with his people. He cat naps on his fosters pillow and on the back of the couch like a cat.

Foxy Roxy says I need some supplies! A great way to donate is buy off our Amazon wishlist. We’ve ran out of several things recently with the several hoarding and animal neglect situations. We need to get ready for January when we open back up for intake.

INTRODUCING MARIAH CAREY! Mariah may be a long haired Doxie mix but in her heart she is all dachshund and nothing else! This girl has all of those dachshund tendencies and is such a sweet cuddler when she trusts her people. She came from a hoarding case where other dogs attacked her constantly and she was not socialized to humans. Her foster mom feels like since Mariah is so young, she will come around fairly quickly but will be shy at first. Her pretty little face will always bear the scars of her previous life unfortunately but we are hoping that hair will eventually cover up some of it. Mariah's foster is working on house and leash training. She will definitely not do well in a home with an ultra dominant dog or a big pack. A confident companion that is gracious would suit her well. Mariah prefers to be a little shadow and will bark if her human is not in her sights. SOMEONE NEEDS THIS PRECIOUS SOUL!

Age: 1.5 Years Old
