Meet Brody! Brody is a gorgeous, nine month old, wire haired mini dachshund. He has a very sweet disposition, but he is still a little skittish from his time before he came to rescue so a fenced yard is needed. He is quite a cuddle bug and loves to play with his foster sister. He also has a 60 pound foster brother and is pretty tolerant of just about any size dog but said dog would need to be gentle due to the breeds background in having very fragile backs. Pretty boy is curious about his feline foster siblings but is very respectful of them. Brody does well in his crate during the day for short periods but prefers sleeping in his foster’s bed at night. He loves to play and likes kids who know how to treat a dog of his size. He has really adjusted to being around new people fairly quickly. Foster mom says Brody would definitely be a foster fail if they could keep him because he is so lovable! Do you have room in your heart and home for this little guy?

Where are the small doodle lovers at?! Honey is the gal you’re looking for! This sweet girl has had a rough life, coming from a puppy mill. Although her rough past, she still has the best spirit!! This girl is ALWAYS happy!! With her being a puppy mill dog, she is skittish at times. So you’ll have to earn her trust before she is 100% with you. But for the most part, she doesn’t know any stranger. Honey is great with other dogs and enjoys them teaching her how she’s supposed to act. Honey has done pretty well with potty training both inside and outside the crate. She will p*e every once in a while, so frequent potty breaks are important. How can you say no to that sweet face? She wants a forever home with you!

I have the sweetest soul, always ready to give love and receive it too once I trust you. I'm a brave girly, not afraid to try new things and face the world head on. But can be shy when you first meet me. Don’t worry though as soon as I know I can trust you we will be the best of friends. Velma is a very quick learner, she would love to learn all the new tricks and commands. Life here in foster care has been wonderful, but she knows there's more out there for her! She dreams of a home where she can share her peoples bed as she LOVES to sleep under the covers. She promises to bring joy and companionship to her forever family, we know they are out there somewhere. Adopt me, and let's start our adventure together! You won’t regret it!

GREETINGS FROM MAPLE! Don’t miss out on Miss Maple she is approximately 4 years old and weighs 12 lbs of absolutely ADORABLE King Charles Cavalier
Spaniel. She is now ready for her furever home. Maple has had a rough start to life coming from an Amish breeding case being repeatedly used for breeding and producing puppies for profit. She is just now starting to trust humans and is slower to do so understandably. She loves playing with her toys and her foster dog siblings. She definitely more afraid of men but is learning, she does great with women. She does allow all of us to pick her up and put her in our laps and love on her. She can be very sweet and seems to want attention but has to build her confidence with you. We believe she needs someone who will be patient with her, she is beautiful and is getting more comfortable and confident every day. She loves to play in her fenced back yard.

PRESENTING RORY! Rory is a precious approximately 8 year old Maltese. He is a very mellow guy with a heart full of love to share with the perfect family! He loves to go for walks. He can be a bit timid at first but then loves to be petted and loved on once he knows you. Little man is treat motivated! We believe he would probably do best with older owners just because of his low energy level and laid back personality. He will make an amazing companion dog to the lucky people who are chosen to adopt him, he loves to just sit beside you and enjoy life!
