Rescues and Shelters are overwhelmed with requests for owner surrender intakes and although we try our very best we have only so much room and time to devote to every dog that enters our care, with rescues closing at an alarming rate please check with your local shelter or rescue if you are looking to add a dog *or other to your family. (Good breeders will ALWAYS take their dogs back so please keep that in mind as you search for the perfect match for you and your family)
With many thanks to our community who help us keep a good dog in need while we search for the RIGHT home for them! Our sponsor a kennel this year and our annual xmas auction provided pellets for the winter to keep everyone warm and safe!
We truly can NOT thank you enough!
