Christine having some fun goofing off yesterday! She does love to run and play outside! She can be a bit stubborn about it all ending though! šŸ¤£ Christine is a cute medium sized mix breed girl who is about 1-1 1/2 years old. We think she might have some sharpei in her because she has the tiniest little ears and I don't know another breed who has ears that resemble hers. She is a friendly girl who gets along well with medium to large sized dogs. She's a bit too rough and tumble and energetic for smaller dogs and little kids. She's not a big fan of the leash but will kindof (with reluctance) walk on one. More leash work and a harness would probably cure that...especially if she knew she was going on an adventure with her person! Christine would make an awesome companion for an active person/family who loves having fun because she is all about the fun!!!

Mystic has been with us for several years but she would really love a home of her own. Mystic is full of energy and would love a huge yard to run and romp in, to go on walks/runs with you or just head out for an adventure. Mystic has always done well in the house, she walks on a leash (but does pull sometimes so a harness would help), she is 100% crate trained and has not messed in the house to our knowledge (although we never guarantee housebroken). She has always gotten along well with other dogs around her size or bigger.
Last year, Mystic was diagnosed with entropian and needed surgery to correct. Entropian is when the eyelashes roll inward and irritate/scratch the eye. The surgery was quoted to be about $400 and we tried to raise some money to have that done since nearly all of our money goes into spay/neuter, annual vetting, yearly maintenance and food so coming up with high dollar "extras" can be difficult. Unfortunately, we were not able to raise the funds to get this done for her so we are going to try asking again. Mystic is a beautiful soul and a beautiful dog whose adoption chances are greatly depleted with an issue like this. Many people do not want a larger, adult mixed breed to begin with but one with an expensive medical issue that needs addressed hinders her chances even further. You can see the result of the entropian in her photos, especially around the one eye. It is pinkish and she squints some. Although she doesn't have the most extreme case, it's still very uncomfortable for her and we hate that it causes her discomfort! Please help Mystic and spread the word about this wonderful girl!

Dottie and Gigi were spayed last week and are now ready to find their forever family!
Both girls are friendly and love attention from their people. Gigi is tiny at only about 7 1/2 pounds and Dottie weighs about 15. They appear to be crate trained and get along well with other dogs. Despite being raised with tinier dogs, Dottie can be a more dominant personality so a dog her size or a bit larger would be best so she doesn't overpower those smaller than herself. Both girls love people and just want a lap to curl up on.
Check out their full bios on either petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. You can also find our adoption application on our homepage on either of these two sites. We do visits by appt only since our dogs are fostered with us at our home.

Some new babies ready to find their forever home! Oreck and his brother Dyson are 10 weeks old and just full of puppy energy! They love their food and lots of attention! Rolo is approx 6 months old and may have come from abuse or very little socialization in his fornative months. He is initially skittish and fearful but he has warmed up to me quite quickly. He's not a fan of our male volunteer yet (although he did allow him to handle him to get into the vet but once we got home, he wanted nothing to do with him). He doesn't seem to mind my husband so I'm not quite sure what's going on with him yet. He just came in so he is still adjusting and we do feel that he will do fine in a home with someone who gives him a bit of time to feel safe. He is very sweet once he does. He gets along well with other dogs so no concerns there. We would not recommend him for a home with small children though due to his fearfulness. Rolo does well in a crate and in the house.

2 visits today with 1 lucky dog going home! Tinker found her forever home but Frank is still waiting. Although they loved him, Frank is rambunctious and active so he's a bit too much for really young children. Frank is still on the hunt for his family!
We hope Tinker and her new family enjoy many wonderful years together and we are very happy that she will be living the good life from here on out!

How do we still have Frank and his sister, Tinker? They are so cute and just happy, fun loving little pups! Frank weighs about 30 pounds and Tinker is about 22. Frank has a ton of energy and can run like the wind! He would be a perfect playmate for active children without being too big. Tinker is a bit more laid back but still loves some activity. She's no lazy couch potato but not one to want to run and play all day either. She's a nice mix of both. Both dogs are OK on a leash, having probably never really been on one before but a harness would probably be preferred and help them walk better on it. They seemed to do fine in a crate but we don't guarantee housebroken with any of our dogs, as we don't want that to be a reason to return. Some training of any rescue dog should be expected once they leave us and join your household. They need to learn new routines and adjust to new expectations. It takes some time and alittle effort with any new addition. Our available dogs have all been vetted and are ready to find their happy landing! Don't miss out on these smiling, happy faces and fun companions!

Beautiful Bella had a meet and greet this past weekend but it did not go well. Bella was perfect though and we are really proud of her response. The potential adopter had another dog that she wanted a friend for so we arranged to have the dogs meet. Bella was calm and stood patiently waiting for her visit. The other dog was having none of it. He continuously barked from the truck (we met on neutral ground but that was a bit of a red flag-although we never anticipated what happened next) and before his owner could get the leash on him,he sprang from the truck and went straight for Bella. Bella did the right thing and tried to flee-she did not try to engage (she was leashed so she couldnt run far and there was really nowhere for her to hide except behind us). The other dog continued coming at her, teeth snapping. Thankfully, we managed to diffuse the situation and the owner was able to get her dog back into the truck. We were sad that Bella's visit didn't go well and she wasn't able to find her new home that day but we are so, so proud of her! It could have become a bloody brawl but she rose above violence.
This girl is wonderful and a true testament to the resilience and beauty of dogs (in general) and her breed!
