Meet Chaise !!

This adorable little puppy is looking for a new home.

She got her name from her previous owner trying to auction her off to the highest bidder on Facebook live as if she were a piece of furniture 😡 Thankfully no one offered to buy her and we were able to take her into rescue so she can find a safe and stable home.

Chaise is a female and supposed to be 12 weeks old. She weighs 11 pounds. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines as part of her adoption.

Her breed mix is a bit of a mystery. Her auctioneer said she was a lab/pit. The vet felt she’s more of a springer spaniel mix. She acts a bit like a Jack Russell. She’s definitely very small to be a lab/pit but we truly don’t know. She’s not growing super fast. She may stay smaller or grow to a larger size. Her adopter will have to be open to the potential unknown adult size.

Her foster describes her as a super playful, fun puppy with a hilarious personality. Lots of s***k in this little girl. Very loving and always happy to see you. Very outgoing and confident.

Chaise is a puppy and she is still learning. She rides great in the car and has not yet started leash training. She is learning crate training but can still be very vocal in the crate. She is still learning potty training. She doesn’t like to go outside without her people. She has already figured out how to use the doggie door so hopefully potty training will improve soon.

She is great with all people. She has been great with dogs of all sizes. She is not fostered with cats so we do not know how she would do. She is young and with proper training should be able to learn the rules with cats.

Chaise is good with kids but does do a lot of nipping on hands when playing. She has sharp little puppy teeth so take that into consideration if you have tiny kids. Nothing aggressive just typical puppy behavior.

She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. She did wonderful for her bath and nail trim. She was also very good for the vet.

Chaise is a play hard then crash hard kinda puppy. She’s got a decent energy level but also couch cuddles when she’s tired. She will need daily play time and exercise to be happy and well behaved.

If you’re looking for a super sweet and playful puppy she might be the one. As long as you’re dedicated to exercise and training Chaise will be an amazing dog for your family.

Meet Athena !!

This beautiful girl is looking for her new home. She’s a great dog with a ton of potential.

Athena is a 10 month old female, German Shepherd mix. She currently weighs 53 pounds. She has already been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

She is a very happy, loving and smart puppy! She’s been raised around kids and dogs and is such a great loyal family dog. She’s very treat motivated which helps with her training. She can be shy and nervous with new things and places until she adjusts.

Athena is crate trained although she can escape simple crates when she wants to. Shes decent on a leash but is easily distracted and busy on walks. She’s great on car rides. She’s mostly potty trained. Most of her accidents come from her current family being gone to long for her to hold it.

She is excellent with children. Very sweet and loving toward them. She’s been wonderful with other dogs. She loves having another dog to play with. She’s never been around cats so we are unsure how she would do.

Athena is already an energetic playful pup. Please don’t adopt this pup if you’re not dedicated to exercising your dog every single day, both mentally and physically. Otherwise you’ll end up with a bored, frustrated and destructive dog.

She will do best with a fenced yard. She will not do well in an apartment. She needs space to run and loves being outside. She has so far not been one to try escaping from the yard.

We’ve seen no issues with her sharing food treats or toys with humans or other pets. If she gets bored and doesn’t have lots of toys and bones she is still in the puppy stage of getting into things she shouldn’t. It’s manageable but takes effort from her family.

Adopting a puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your families lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting.

Overall Athena is a beautiful, happy and loving puppy. She’s super smart and eager to please. She just needs a home willing to give her the time and training needed to be her best self.

Meet Hippo !!

READ THE ENTIRE POST!!! Yes he’s ridiculously adorable but this breed mix it definitely not for everyone. He will be a ton of work, training and dedication.

This guy is beautiful but he’s the result of reckless breeding for profit. Both of his breeds have attitude issues and his color doesn’t belong to either breed so we know his breeders “pedigree papers” he came with are crap. Sadly people only see dollar signs and have no regard for what new breeds they are out here trying to create.

Hippo is an approx 12 week old male puppy. He weighs 11 pounds currently. He is said to be a Shar Pei and Cocker Spaniel mix. We know by his Merle color there’s more blended in there as well.

He will be vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered as part of his adoption.

Here’s the thing. Both breeds can be great family dogs but both can have issues with strangers. The shar pei in particular needs a very dedicated owner who will train early and lifelong. They have an attitude and can easily try to take over. We would not suggest a novice dog owner. He’s young enough to be a fantastic dog but it will only happen if the right family dedicates the time and effort to a proper raising and training process. If you’re looking for a cute easy puppy we can find you a different one. This guys not going to be easy!

Hippo loves to play with other dogs, he’s bossy and outgoing. He can already be very dominant with other dogs. He tries to dominate and hump other dogs. He hasn’t met any cats yet. He’s great with kids but again, pushy and dominant. He also jumps up and chews on hands like a wild puppy. He’s very loving and playful with everything and everyone currently.

He tries his best with potty training. He sleeps through the night in his crate and doesn’t have potty accidents in there. He has started going to the door to say he needs to go out. He does well with crate training and isn’t vocal unless he’s left in to long. He does well on car rides but is best crated as he can be busy and move around a lot. He is not yet leash trained. He is still very young and will need lots of work on this and all his training as he grows.

Hippo has a fairly high energy level. He will need lots of exercise along with mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy and well behaved. Tons of exercise and lots of training will help him be his best self.

He has not had any trouble sharing, food, treats, or toys with other dogs or people. He loves playing in pretty much any variety. He will play with you, toys, other dogs etc. he loves fetch, squeaky toys and even sticks he finds outside. He can make a toy or game out of anything.

If you’re up for the challenge of a pushy dominant breed mix then this guy might be the one. He’s tons of fun and tons of love. A really sweet boy in the right home.

Meet Byron !!

This poor guy came to us and was in really terrible shape. He’s was very thin and severely matted with f***s and urine matted into his coat. We don’t understand how someone let him get that way and did nothing to help him.

He’s been groomed now but we had to clip him very short so he kinda looks like a naked rat 🤷‍♀️ It will grow back we promise.

Byron is an approx 9 month old male. He is said to be a poodle and Yorkie mix. He weighs 14 pounds.

He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of his adoption. He is thankfully heartworm negative and on monthly preventions.

Byron seems to have been bounced around a bit and neglected so he’s a bit behind on some of his training but he’s getting it. He makes up for that by being the sweetest most loving little guy.

He is great with other dogs. He’s super playful and not afraid of them. He will try to steal their bones and get feisty if they try to take his. He’s currently a bit of a humper also. So basically he needs a tolerant doggie friend while he learns better manners. He hasn’t been around cats so we aren’t sure how he would do. He adores children and is really good with them. He does jump up on them but is extremely friendly and affectionate with kids.

Byron is doing okay with leash walking but isn’t perfect. He’s fine on car rides. He is crate trained but will be vocal if left inside when you’re home. He wants to be out with you. He hasn’t been destructive when left uncrated. He isn’t potty trained. He will try to use puppy pads if provided but also still lifts his leg to mark territory. His upcoming neuter will hopefully help with that. He has no trouble wearing belly bands to help with training. He does better going potty in a fenced area and will take longer to potty train if you don’t have one.

He has a medium energy level. He loves to chill on the couch with you or relax on a comfy dog bed in the room you’re in. He can also be s***ky and playful with other dogs. He’s excited to see you and will jump up on you to get attention at times. He really likes to sleep in bed with you.

Byron was super skinny when he arrived and can be possessive over his food. He also eats very fast. It’s best to feed him separately from others. He doesn’t like you to remove food bowls, toys or things while he’s in the crate with them. Outside the crate he’s been fine about it. We suggest letting him eat in a separate area or his crate and removing his food/bowls once he’s done and no longer near them.

Due to his rough start to life he will definitely need a family willing to put some work into him. He deserves a safe and loving home where he can feel safe and thrive. He really is a sweet and loving guy.

📌📌He will need regular grooming. This requires time to get him to and from the appointments and additional expenses to pay for it. On average a dog of this breed will need grooming every 6 weeks. This should be fully considered prior to applying to adopt him.

➡️Vet and home checks required.
➡️Fenced potty area preferred

Fredrick’s is available again! Post revised. Please reread if interested.

15/01/2025

We’ve been working to find a way for Niko to get out some of his energy. He LOVES TOYS, he’s absolutely obsessed with them but he isn’t always willing to share them with you. That made it challenging to play with him. We decided to try this tree bungee toy and it’s been a huge success. He can play with his toys and work off some energy. He’s really enjoyed it.

Niko will go to his new home with his special tree toy. He was recently neutered and is ready to find his family. To see if he’s the right handsome bestie for you please read his full post by clicking the link below.

Three babies left from the Gum Litter !!

**Looking for SEPARATE homes**
We recently took in this sweet litter and their mom from a local shelter. They are looking for indoor family homes. Their mom (Big Red) will have a separate post once she’s recovered from being a momma.

They are currently 10 weeks old and ready for new homes.

They are Hound mix puppies and should be medium size when full grown. Their mom is about 40 pounds at full weight and dad is unknown. They favor beagles but may grow larger than that.

Puppies have been given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, a microchip and spayed/neutered.

The Puppies:
(Photos are labeled with names)

CHICLET - Female- 7 pounds – The explorer, always whining to get on the go

STRIDE- Male - 6.2 pounds- Chill guy but loves to howl and talk

BAZOOKA - Male- 6.7 pounds- Mr. Fearless, does everything first, howling, walking, climbing out of the pen etc lol.

*** They are still very young and their personalities are likely to change as they develop.***

All the puppies love other dogs and love kids. They have not met any cats yet but are young enough to learn. They are still babies and are not potty trained or leash trained. They have started crate training and do very well HOWEVER they are currently in the crate with their siblings, and it’s very likely that there will be some sleepless nights in your home with crate training once they are separated. They have not had any trouble sharing food treats and toys.

*** These are NOT APARTMENT DOGS. Beagles/Hounds are very vocal dogs, it is just what they do. They bark and howl and make all the hound noises.They started howling at only 4 weeks old. We do not want a dog or family losing their home over the noise.***

These puppies are currently active, happy, and playful. They have been raised inside and handled often since a very young age. They are very friendly and social. They are also smart and active. They love to explore and play. They are active and will need lots of physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy and out of trouble.

Hounds make amazing family pets. They are generally friendly and social. They do have a tendency to escape yards when bored. It is recommended to not leave them outside alone. They were bred to be hunting dogs and may take off over or under a fence to chase a woodland creature around.

Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family’s lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting.

We do NOT adopt siblings into the same family. Before commenting on how sad etc, you feel that is please google “littermate syndrome” so you can understand why we take this precaution. It is done in the best interest of the puppies.

Vet and home checks required.

**No apartments due to how vocal they are.

Meet Blizzard !!

We recently took in this sweet girl and her two puppies. They were living outside in a pen with a large snowstorm coming in. Thankfully we were able to get them all here and they are so grateful for indoor life. (Her puppies Snowflake and Icicle are posted separately)

Blizzard is approx 2 years old female. She appears to be a Hound Pyrenees mix. She weighs 74 pounds.

She will be given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, a microchip and spayed. She is sadly heartworm positive but her treatment is included in her adoption.

Blizzard initially had no idea how to be inside but she’s learned so quickly. She’s really doing well and has exceeded our expectations.

She is not fully potty trained but has already started going to the door to alert she needs to go out. She is good with crate training but isn’t the biggest fan of it. She can be vocal in protest. She was nervous on her car ride but didn’t do to bad. She doing really well with her leash training so far.

Blizzard is fine with other dogs but mostly ignores them. She’s good with it without another dog in the home. We don’t know how she would do with cats. She’s been good with all the kids she’s met so far.

She so far has a lower energy level but that will likely increase as she becomes more settled and confident with indoor life. So far she doesn’t seem to understand toys. She gathers sticks to chew on instead. She was probably never provided with toys before.

Blizzard will jump a short fence. She will either need a 6ft fence or have someone dedicated to exercising and potting on leash. Having a safe place for her to run would be ideal. She has not had any trouble sharing food, treats and toys with humans or other dogs.

This sweet and beautiful girl hasn’t had a real life so far but she’s ready to have that now. If you’re willing to put a little more work and training into her she’s going to be an amazing dog for you.

Meet Snowflake and Icicle !!

These sweet siblings are looking for SEPARATE HOMES. The are both super sweet but will be big girls when fully grown.

We saved both of these sisters and their mom only a few hours before the first snowstorm hit us. They were living outside in a pen with minimal protection from the elements. They are doing really well learning to live inside and enjoy life as real dogs. (Mom is named Blizzard she is posted separately)

They are both females, approx 5 months old. They weigh 42 and 45 pounds. They appear to be hound and Great Pyrenees based off their size and mom’s looks. They will likely be larger dogs.

They will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of their adoptions.

Both puppies still need a lot of training due to starting life in an outdoor pen. They are however doing really well so far and seem to be very smart. Seems like they truly enjoy life as part of a family instead of outside.

SNOWFLAKE- a very sweet girl and very affectionate. She’s really learning everything for the first time. Thrives with another dog there to kind of teach her how to be a dog.

ICICLE- loves tennis balls and playing with other dogs. Enjoys running and sniffing outside. Very good at taking correction, she’s timid and very sweet.

Both puppies are fantastic with other dogs and kids. They are shy and learning about life so another dog helps them but isn’t required. Icicle is fostered with a cat and is interested but doesn’t hurt or chase the cat. Snowflake has not been fostered with cats.

Neither puppy has had any trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. Neither is completely potty trained but they are learning. Both have started crate training and can be a bit vocal in there but learn more each day. They’ve done fine on car rides. Neither is very familiar with leash walking yet.

We expect these girls to be big and strong dogs that are fairly energetic. Please be prepared to exercise each and every day so they do not become pent up and display negative behaviors. Training well and often is very important so you don’t end up with a large dog you can’t control.

Pyrenees and hounds are both known for escaping yards. They go over and under fences with a tendency to roam. You will need to supervise them when they are outside. If left alone outside you are asking for them to find a way out. They are also well known for being loyal and loving family dogs.

Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family’s lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them.

Meet Angelina !!

It’s always the little ones that make for the fun posts lol. She needs the right home willing to allow her time to settle in and feel safe. If you push her in the first few days she can and will bite you. If you’re patient you’ll have the most loyal and loving dog.

She came to us with daughter Zahara (who was already posted and pending adoption) They were both infested with fleas causing hair loss and very under socialized.

Angelina is a approx 4 year old female Shih tzu. She currently weights 11 pounds and is full grown. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines as part of her adoption. She is heartworm negative. She did have to be toweled at the vet so make sure you have a vet willing to handle s***ky ones.

As we said already Angelina is a fear biter. She takes a few days to a week to fully trust anyone new. If you push it she will bite you. Once she realizes you’re safe she becomes very sweet and loving. She will however not like your house guests or new people she meets. You need to fully understand that about her. We don’t know what she’s been through but she’s not a social dog. She will be you and your immediate family in the homes best friend, and likely continue to distrust anyone else. This is who she is. If she progresses past it then great, but to adopt her you must accept that she may never change.

Despite her fear her training isn’t to bad. She has been very easy to have in the home so far. She is very quiet and will sleep in her kennel all night. She is potty trained to p*e pads and has also started to go outside as well. We would suggest always providing the pads to help with accidents as that’s what she’s used to. She did fine in the car rides she’s taken. We haven’t attempted leash training with her yet. She needs a fenced yard given that you can’t grab for her to leash her until she likes you.

Angelina has done fine with other dogs but is cautious of them at first. Dogs that leave her alone would be the best match. She’s not really looking for a playful dog in her face. We are not sure how she would do with cats but she would prob be fine.

Kids are a tough one, initially we would have said flat out no. That was before she formed a bond with the Foster’s daughter. HOWEVER, the Foster’s child is a unique kid. She’s very calm and quiet and very dog savvy. They have an adorable relationship but that’s not likely going to be the case for most kids. If your child does something to scare her she will bite them. If your child has friends coming over to play that mess with her she will bite them. We would only consider sending her to a home with an older calm child in certain circumstances. It would be better for her to go to an adult only home with adults understanding of her needs.

She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. She so far has a fairly low energy level. She likes to sit on the back of the couch and watch everything. When she starts to feel comfortable she will play with you. You need to take it slow. She can get scared easily and try to bite for awhile.

If you are wiling to give her space and time to adjust you will get an awesome companion. If you’re antisocial she will definitely help you fend off pesky friends and neighbors lol.

➡️ Fenced yard needed due to her initial fear biting.

Meet Big Red !!

This sweet girl has had it rough. She’s taken it all in stride and remained the happiest and friendliest dog throughout it all.

We took her and her 7 puppies in from a shelter. She was extremely thin and appeared to have lived outside her whole life. Despite being starved she was a fantastic mom to the pups. When she went to her spay appointment they found she had pyometra (an infection in unspayed dogs.)Thankfully it was caught in time and she is recovering well.

Big Red is approx 2 years old. She is a hound mix. She weighs 35 pounds and is close to full grown. She came to us very skinny and is still regaining her weight so she may gain a bit more.

She has been given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. She is sadly heartworm positive but her treatment for it has been started and is included in her adoption.

She loves other dogs of all sizes and ages. She also loves kids and is very gentle with them. She has not been fostered with cats so we are not sure how she would do. She is a gentle soul and never had any issues with other animals or people around her puppies. She has really been such a sweet natured girl.

Big red is good with crate training and great on car rides. She is okay on a leash but definitely needs additional training with it. She is new to learning all the indoor life skills but so far she is learning so quickly. When she first arrived she was jumping up on kitchen counters etc. She has learned so many manners in just a short time and is becoming a very easy dog to have around.

She is working on her potty training. She’s doing really well considering all she’s been going through. With her being sick, feeding puppies, and us giving her round the clock food for her weight gain, she struggled a bit. Now that she’s eating regular meals and no longer has the infection she is doing way better. She may still have accidents but she is learning.

Big Red so far has a medium energy level. She is mostly laid back and relaxed. She does enjoy to run around the yard with the other dogs and play but is not extremely energetic. She may become more energetic once she fully recovers from everything.

She will jump a short fence. She will either need a 6ft fence or have someone dedicated to exercising and taking her out on a leash. If you are outside with her she rarely will jump it and responds well to verbal correction when you see her thinking about going over it. Having a safe fenced place for her to run would be ideal.

Big Red really enjoys toys. We are not sure if she has ever had them prior to coming to us but she is head over heals in love with them now. She currently is unwilling to share her toys with other dogs once she has them. She does not like other dogs trying to take them. This may pass with time or it may not. She has not had any trouble sharing her food or treats with humans or other dogs. She has no trouble sharing her toys with people.

If you’re looking for an all-around awesome family dog then Big Red may be the one! She is looking for a family to continue her training and give her the loving indoor home she always deserved.
