UPDATE ON JET: We spoke to Jet's vet about his future and any medical interventions for his unique case and after researching, she recommends that we monitor him at this time and see if neutering him has made any difference. She stated it may take some time to see a big change but she wants to re-scan him down the road and see if there is improvements. If neutering him does the trick and he doesn't need surgical intervention, this is great news!!! As it stands now, Jet is full of himself, active, playful and getting himself into all kinds of puppy troubles. You know...the normal...lol
Jet is in love with the water and as you can see from his picture, he just got done swimming and is ready to take a nap!
Please pray that Jet doesn't need surgical intervention, that he can find his forever home and live a long, happy life!!

Jack came back to us a couple of weeks ago. His adoptive mom passed away and Jack had nowhere to go. Jack was gone from the rescue for a few years and is acclimating to being back..so far, so good. He's a sweet, gentle boy who likes to just chill and be with his people. He was heartworm positive when he was adopted years ago so we have to get him checked out to see what his current heartworm status is. We are also waiting on records to see what he may need as far as updates on vetting and bringing him current, as needed. Once Jack is vetted (if needed), he will be available for adoption. Jack is approx 6 years old now and we had him listed as a yorkie mix originally (I'm sure that was what we were told when we took him in) but he's definitely some type of terrier and very cute!

On a different note- Bella has been spayed and vetted and is ready to find her forever home. She is a wonderful girl! If interested in adopting Bella or if you would like to read more about her to determine if you may be a good match, please visit her bio on either www.petfinder.com or www.adoptapet.com. You can also find a link to our adoption application on either of these pages. We do require the adoption application to be completed prior to arranging a visit between you and any of our dogs.

UPDATE on Jet: We had the ultrasound scan completed yesterday (6/5/26) and Dr. Biggs did see some abnormalities behind his bladder and he also showed some leaking of urine around his kidney into his abdomen. She stated that, in puppies,that can happen so she wasn't as concerned about that but did note that she was unsure if it was just a normal thing for his age or if it was connected to the bladder abnormality. She states she was not sure if she could reach the abnormality due to its location and mentioned an exploratory to see if it was even something she could get to and correct. We still have many unknowns because,apparently, this is very rare and Dr. Biggs said that at his neuter, he had urine coming from his vas deferens and she had never seen that before. She is going to research this a bit more before we decide what our next steps are. Jet is an anomaly, to be sure! If an exploratory is needed and/or she determines that this is correctable, it will probably be expensive. We will not be able to do this by ourselves and it is something we definitely didn't expect to be doing since Jet acts like a perfectly normal "teenager". Dr. Biggs did say that eventually, if not corrected, it will progress and greatly impact his quality of life. This is not great news but we can only take each day as it comes so, for now, Jet is thriving and we will wait for guidance from his vet. Please keep Jet in your thoughts and prayers and we will update when we know more!

We want to give a big shout out to whoever sent the dog food and puppy chow! We greatly appreciate it and it was very much needed! Also a huge shout out to Martin for donating to help Jet get his scan. Jet is at the vet today so hopefully we get more answers about what is going on with him. Thank you everyone for continuing to be there for our pups and for us! I know we dont say it often enough but you all keep us plugging along! ❤️

Rudy needs a home. He is not good with cats or birds. Owners passed away and Rudy needs to find a new family. We do not know him personally and do not have him with us at the rescue so if interested, we would have to get you into contact with the family member who asked us to share him. They are unable to take him since they have a farm and have cats and birds there.

Jet came into rescue because his family worked a lot and they didn't feel that they could give him what he needed. Jet is approx 7 months old and we were told that he is a goldendoodle/German short-haired pointer mix (he looks mostly goldendoodle).Jet is a happy, playful boy who absolutely loves the water. He is always looking to get wet, loves the garden hose and is just at home where there is water. He would do great at the beach or swimming in your pool! Jet is pretty much housebroken here and is also crate trained, although he does not like being crated much. Jet does love to chew so appropriate toys to keep him busy and distracted from chewing other things. Jet loves playing with other dogs and is good with kids. He can get rambunctious and domineering at times but calms when corrected. He weighed 37.5 pounds when we had him neutered on 5/26/26. He tested negative for heartworms but was positive for hookworms and coccidia, which we treated him for. He also started Simparica Trio for heartworm prevention and flea control.
Now for the results we weren't expecting. When the vet neutered him, she stated that he was a cryptorchid (meaning he retained one testicle and she had to open him up to neuter him). At that time, she noticed that his testicles were abnormally small and when she cut, a fluid leaked out, which she suspected was possibly diluted urine. She stated that it appeared that they looked like they were connected so she removed the testicle and completed a closed castration. The vet stated that she had only seen something similar one other time and recommended a scan, which we will be doing once we get the extra $80 to perform it. At this time, we do not know exactly what is going on and that is what the scan should determine. Jet may need an expensive surgery to correct his issue. We suspect it may be an ectopic ureter (after googling the info we were given about his condition) but again, that is not yet confirmed. Vet stated this is, most likely, genetic.We may be asking for help for Jet, if it's determined that he does require a surgery to correct this rare issue. Jet continues to be his happy, bouncy, playful self and does not seem to be suffering any ill effects at this time however, the vet did believe that if this suspected condition is not corrected, he could have problems down the road. We hope to eliminate that possibility and give Jet a long, happy life!

Our sweet boy Charlie has crossed the rainbow bridge, never finding his happy ending. He, unfortunately, spent the last 4-5 years of his life in rescue. He survived several cancer scares and lump removals and a dental, where he lost a bunch of his teeth. He made it to the ripe old age of 12 but we are sad that he never found his family. He was a devoted boy who just wanted to be someone's loyal best friend. May you run free with all of those pups who made it to the bridge before you. I know your buddy, Aldo(who he arrived in rescue with but who found a very loving mom), was waiting for you and you have been reunited in that beautiful puppy playground. We loved you Charlie and we hope you knew that! ❤️

We were contacted about these dogs. We can't take them but are listing them to help try to find them homes. Descriptions from person who has them are as follows (please note that we do not know these dogs personally and only have this information about each from the current owner):
1st Brown Dog:
She is great Dane Max. I don’t know what she’s mixed with but we already got her fixed. She’s updated on all her shots. She needs to be gone ASAP. She’s good with other dogs bigger dogs anyways she seems to do fine around my little dog. She’s very sweet once she gets to know you and she’s roughly probably like two years old. She likes just to lie down in jail. She’s really sweet when she’s outside. She perks up a little bit more but like I said, she needs a home ASAP if you could post her or get her, that would be great because our neighbor is being a problem and he’s calling the dog pound/ dog catcher on us. Like I said she’s updated on her shot. She’s sweet. She’s ready to adopt if you could get her in adopt her out that would be great. She’s very sweet girl.
2nd black and white dog:
This is Hank. He is roughly around two as well he is not neutered. He’s a very sweet boy. He would make the perfect family dog for kids. He loves kids. He loves jumping in the pool with them and everything he’s he’s just a good dog. He listens really well snap your fingers just tell him get up in the vehicle. He loves a ride. He’ll be right by your side 24 seven the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet in your life. He does have a little beef with one of our male dogs out of the house, but he gets along with several other others so I don’t know if it’s just him and that one Dog but other than that he is just he’s the sweetest boy. He’s good with cats and all kinds of other animals. He just would make the perfect dog. He has not neutered, but I think he would be easy to find a home for I’m not for sure what kind of dog he has but he’s dropdead gorgeous and he’s a damn good dog all my dogs honestly, I would trust him over probably one of them with a child.
3rd Brown dog:
And this is sassy. This is the one that everybody begged me to get that was in the middle of 19 that got hit by the car she’s fat and sassy now for sure and she needs a home however we have not got her fixed yet so yeah, I don’t know and she might also be having an infection going on or something in her private area or possibly pregnant I don’t know anyways she needs a home ASAP if you could help me get rid of these three dogs for us right now, that would be great. I need help getting rid of these dogs.
If anyone is interested, we can connect you with the lady who has them. This is the only info we have about them so if there are any questions, we can get you in touch with her to answer them.
