It’s with a heavy heart and great sadness that I have to share this with you. Bella (aka Tinkerbell) was put to sleep today for her illness. She had been coughing and then stopped eating since last Friday. After X-rays and bloodwork, our doctor thought something was wrong with her lungs. It would possibly be a cancer. She had difficulty breathing and didn’t want to eat anything (dry food, canned food, energy nutrition jell, chicken stock, etc). I have tried everything that I could thought about but she would not show any interest. I got her a stimulation medicine for increasing her appetite and also IV fluids for her dehydration. Nothing worked. She was losing weight and became very weak. Our doctor thought she would only had 1-2 weeks to live. I couldn’t see her suffering so I made the difficult decision. She is in heaven now and no more suffering. I told her that I’ll see her again in the future.💔
I will always remember this girl. She was very sweet and gentle. All she wanted was hugging and kissing from me. I only have had her for 3 weeks and she had already attached to me. I couldn’t imagine what kind of life she had gone through. Life is not fair to this sweet girl.

Meet Tinkerbell. An 8-10 years old female bichon mix. She was a stray and the founder contacted us. She is very skinny. Very sweet but timid. She will need to have her vaccination, microchip and spaying surgery. I think she will be good with a senior adopter.

Unfortunately Denny and Dottie have to come back to me. They were adopted together 2 years ago when they were 6 months old. The adopters said they were territorial and protective and bit family members and a neighbor. They had to return them to us before they bit someone else. I will take care of them and see if they can be adoptable again. So far they are friendly to me. ❤️😢

Finally I was able to take pictures of all of my dogs. Most of them are very skittish and some of them have fear aggression. But they are all good in their ways. Almost all need to take Trazadone before seeing our vet. I don't know how I can take them for meet and greet without Trazadone. But if they took the medicine, they wouldn't show their true personality during the meeting. Thats why i didn’t post them for adoption. But if you have experience on handling this kind of behaviors and are willing to give any of them a loving hime, please message us. All of them are current on vaccines, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. Click on the picture to see more information.

The first dog is Gracy. She is feral. I have had her for almost 5 years and she still wouldn't let me touch her. I have to take her to our vet for sedated shaving and nail trimming every 4 months. I got her from another rescue. She bit their foster. The rescue thought she was feraland plannedto put her down. She was from a puppymill with a broken spirit. She chewed wires whenshe was at the puppymill. I have done 5-6 dental works on her since i got ger. She only has 2 tiny teeth left.

Stewart (the 3rd dog), the black pit is a man repellent. He would attack any guy coming to my house. He is a tripot.

I received an update from Sammy’s daddy. Sammy was adopted from us previously. Sammy is living the dream ! Im so happy to hear from them ! ❤️

Hi, this is Sammy's dad, Zac. Its been a little while and I wanted to update you on some things. Sammy is doing great. He's still not super jazzed about new people, but after a couple times of seeing them they become his people lol. He's lost weight, and looks great. Absolutely a snuggle bug, and his favorite thing now is walks.

We moved from Columbus in February and he has some other dog buddies now! He's the best and I can't thank you enough.

He seems pretty happy. He's also become very helpful. I have a couple health issues and when they flare he refuses to leave my side. He's become the best little buddy.
