PUPPY ALERT‼️

SUGAR
ID #: 38426
BREED: Wire Haired Terrier/ Retriever mix
GENDER: female
AGE: 5-6 mos old
WEIGHT: 20 lbs
HW STATUS:
AVAILABLE: immediately
VETTING: DHPP, bordatella

🍭💗 SWEET AS HER NAME… MEET SUGAR! 💗🍭

This little girl has already been through something no puppy should ever have to experience. 💔

Sweet Sugar was attacked by two dogs and suffered a large injury along her side. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan stepped in, cared for her, and helped her get through the worst of it. 🙏🐾
Her wound is healing, but her heart still needs some healing, too.

The shelter is loud and overwhelming for this sweet girl, and you can see that she feels safest when she can stay close to someone. 🥺❤️
And once she knows she’s safe? That sweet personality shines through. ✨

🍭 Sugar is:
🐾 Sweet as can be
🐾 Loving and affectionate
🐾 Socialized
🐾 Gentle
🐾 Looking for comfort and reassurance
🐾 Healing beautifully from her injuries

She didn't ask for what happened to her. She didn't deserve it. And she shouldn't have to spend her days frightened in a shelter after everything she's already endured.
Sugar needs someone who will show her that the world can be kind. Someone who will let her stay close, give her patience, and remind her every single day that she is safe. 🏡❤️

Please don't let this little girl become another shelter story that ends in heartbreak.
🍭 SHARE SUGAR.
🍭 TAG A RESCUE.
🍭 TAG THE PERSON WHO NEEDS THIS SWEET GIRL.
🍭 HELP HER FIND HER FOREVER.
After everything Sugar has survived, she deserves a life filled with soft beds, gentle hands, loving arms, and happily-ever-afters. 💕🐶
SUGAR IS READY TO LEAVE THE SCARED SHELTER PUPPY BEHIND AND BECOME SOMEONE'S BELOVED BABY. 🥹❤️

KIRA
ID #: 37926
BREED: Malinois/ German Shepherd mix
GENDER: female
AGE: roughly 8 years old
WEIGHT: 75 lbs
HW STATUS: pending
AVAILABLE: immediately
VETTING: DHPP, bordatella

🚨💔 HOW IS THIS SWEET GIRL SITTING IN A CAGE? 💔🚨

Meet Kira, the beautiful Malinois/German Shepherd mix — and honestly, we’re struggling to understand how such a sweet, gentle, loving girl ended up behind bars. 🥺🐾

She is the kind of dog who makes you wonder what happened before she arrived here.
❤️ Super sweet
❤️ Super gentle
❤️ Super friendly
❤️ Super loving
🐕 Polite, friendly and gentle when meeting other dogs

She doesn’t come across as difficult or aggressive. Quite the opposite — she is gentle, friendly, and simply seems grateful for attention.

Yet here she sits… in a cage, waiting.
We don't know her whole story. We don't know why she's locked up. We only know the girl standing in front of us now — and she deserves so much more than a kennel.
She deserves a family. A soft place to land. A comfy bed. Someone to love her. Someone who will give her the chance she deserves. 🏡❤️

🙏 PLEASE SHARE KIRA
Her person could be scrolling past this post right now and not even know she exists.

Please don't let this beautiful girl become another face forgotten behind a kennel door. 🥺

PUPPY ALERT‼️

SNICKERDOODLE
ID #: 37626
BREED: Tree Walking Coonhound
GENDER: male
AGE: 6 weeks old
WEIGHT: 4 lbs
HW STATUS:
AVAILABLE: immediately
VETTING: 1st DHPP

🐾🍪 MEET SNICKERDOODLE — A TINY PUPPY WITH A HUGE HEART! 🍪🐾

STOP SCROLLING… THIS LITTLE FACE IS TOO ADORABLE! 😍

Meet SNICKERDOODLE, a precious 6-week-old Tree Walking Coonhound puppy who is already stealing hearts everywhere he goes. ❤️
This little guy is an absolute LOVE BUG! 🥹
🐾 Well socialized
❤️ Super loving
🥰 Adorable
🐶 Happy & affectionate
🍪 Tiny enough to fit in your arms… but already has a BIG personality!

Snickerdoodle is at that precious age where he should be learning, playing, cuddling, and discovering the world — surrounded by people who will help him grow into the wonderful dog he's meant to be.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Because Snickerdoodle is under 8 weeks old, he cannot leave the facility through a regular adoption at this time.

❤️ A LICENSED RESCUE can pull him NOW, OR
🏡 He can be PRE-ADOPTED and leave the facility once he reaches 8 weeks old.
That means his forever family can start planning for him now! 🥹🐾

Imagine bringing home this little guy, watching those floppy ears grow, seeing his personality blossom, and knowing you were the person who gave him his forever. ❤️

🙏 PLEASE SHARE SNICKERDOODLE!
He's tiny. He's adorable. He's full of love.
Now he just needs someone to say:
“That's MY puppy.” 🐾❤️

🍪 SNICKERDOODLE IS WAITING… LET'S FIND HIS PEOPLE!

*Available to leave the facility immediately with rescue, or 2 weeks if pre-adopted

OPAL
ID #: 37826
BREED: American Bulldog
GENDER: female**SPAYED
AGE: roughly 12-15 mos
WEIGHT: 50 lbs
HW STATUS: HW NEG (tested 9/25)
AVAILABLE: immediately
VETTING: Spayed, Rabies, DHPP, bordatella

💔🐾 OPAL WAS DUMPED AT A CHURCH… BUT SHE STILL BELIEVES IN LOVE. 🐾💔

Meet OPAL, a beautiful young American Bulldog who was dumped at a rural church with her sister. 😢

They were left behind in an unfamiliar place, through no fault of their own.
And yet, somehow, Opal's heart is still full of love. ❤️

This girl is an absolute sweetheart!
🐶 Great with other dogs
💋 Gives her doggie friends KISSES!
❤️ Loves people
🥰 Super sweet & friendly
🦴 VERY treat motivated! 😂
🐾 Young, affectionate, and ready for a family of her own

Opal isn't just dog friendly — she's the kind of girl who wants to make friends and then immediately give them kisses. 🥹🐾

And if you have treats?
Well… you've probably just become her new best friend. 😂❤️

She didn't ask to be dumped at a church.
She didn't ask to be separated from the life she knew.
But she deserves the chance to leave that chapter behind and start a new one with a family who will love her for the rest of her life.

🏡 Opal deserves a FOREVER HOME.
A family who will give her a soft bed, plenty of treats, lots of kisses, and the security of knowing she will never be abandoned again.

🙏 PLEASE SHARE OPAL!
Her forever family may be out there right now — they just need to see her.
Let's turn this sweet girl's “church” story into a “home” story. 🐾❤️

💔🐾 PEARL WAS DUMPED AT A CHURCH… BUT SHE'S STILL READY TO LOVE. 🐾💔

Meet PEARL, a beautiful young American Bulldog who was dumped at a rural church with her sister. 😢

They were left there to fend for themselves, with no idea where they were or why the people they trusted had driven away.
But somehow, Pearl hasn't let that experience change her sweet heart. ❤️

This girl is an absolute LOVE BUG!
🐶 Great with other dogs
❤️ Loves people
🥰 Super sweet & friendly
🦴 VERY treat motivated! 😂
🐾 Young, playful, and ready for a family of her own

Pearl is the kind of girl who will happily become your best friend — especially if you have treats! 😉

She didn't choose to be abandoned.
She didn't choose to be left at a church in the middle of nowhere.
But she deserves to choose where her story goes from here. 🏡❤️

Let's make sure her next stop isn't another shelter or another lonely place.
Let's make it a FOREVER HOME.

🙏 PLEASE SHARE PEARL!
Her family could be one share away. Someone out there may be looking for a sweet, friendly, treat-loving girl exactly like her.
Pearl deserves a second chance — and a family who will never leave her behind. 🐾❤️

SENIOR ALERT‼️

BELLA
ID #: 37526
BREED: Foxhound/ Beagle mix
GENDER: female**SPAYED
AGE: SENIOR 8 years old
WEIGHT: 51 lbs
HW STATUS: HW NEG (tested 9/23)
AVAILABLE: immediately
VETTING: DHPP, bordatella

💔🐾 BELLA LOST HER PERSON… AND NOW SHE’S SITTING IN A CAGE WONDERING WHY. 🐾💔

Meet BELLA, a precious senior girl whose world was turned upside down when her owner passed away. 💔

Bella and her super-senior fur-sister, Daisy Mae, were suddenly left with no one.
Now this sweet girl is trying to understand why the home she knew is gone… and why she is suddenly locked inside a cage. 🥺

Bella is an absolute sweetheart and has such a gentle, easy-going personality. ❤️
🐾 Super sweet & friendly
🐶 Wonderful with other dogs
❤️ Gentle & easy-going
🥹 A true old soul
🏡 Desperately needs a soft place to land

Bella has a huge hematoma on her left ear that needs medical attention, and some hairloss on her back and tail. She is scheduled to see the veterinarian on Monday, September 28th, so she can be checked out and get the care she needs.
But what Bella needs most right now is something medicine can't prescribe…
A FAMILY. ❤️
A quiet home.
A soft bed.
Someone who will be patient with her.
Someone who will reassure her that she hasn't been forgotten.

Imagine losing your person and then suddenly finding yourself in a shelter cage. Bella doesn't understand why her whole world changed.
She just knows she wants to feel safe again. 💔

🙏 PLEASE DON'T LET BELLA'S SENIOR STATUS MAKE HER INVISIBLE.
Senior dogs have a special kind of love. They're gentle, grateful, and happy simply to be near their people.
Bella has already lost so much.
Let's not let her lose hope, too. 🐾❤️
📢 PLEASE SHARE BELLA FAR AND WIDE!
Maybe her next chapter is waiting behind the next share.
And maybe someone out there is looking for a gentle old soul exactly like Bella. ❤️

SUPER SENIOR ALERT‼️

DAISY MAE
ID #: 37426
BREED: Basset/ Corgi mix
GENDER: female** spayed
AGE: SENIOR 18 years old
WEIGHT: 17 lbs
HW STATUS: pending
AVAILABLE: Tuesday 9/29 (after vet visit on Monday 9/28)
VETTING: DHPP, bordatella

💔🐾 18 YEARS OLD… AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT HER PERSON. 🐾💔

Meet DAISY MAE. 🌼
This precious little lady is 18 years old and recently lost her owner. Sadly, she and her sister, Bella, were left with no one to care for them. 💔

Daisy Mae is a sweet Basset/Corgi mix and one of the most precious old souls you could ever meet.

At 18, she doesn't see very well anymore, and she doesn't seem to hear very much either. But even with the challenges that come with being a very senior girl, Daisy Mae remains:
❤️ Super sweet
❤️ Gentle
❤️ Loving
❤️ An absolute old soul

Right now, Daisy Mae also has a pr*****ed va**na and will be seeing the veterinarian on Monday to be evaluated and receive the care she needs. She will be available for rescue/adoption after her vet visit.

🙏 PLEASE DON'T LET HER AGE MAKE YOU LOOK AWAY.
Daisy Mae has already lost the person she knew and loved for so many years. The last thing this elderly little girl deserves is to spend her remaining time wondering where her family went.

She doesn't need a perfect life.
She needs a soft place to land.
A warm bed.
Gentle hands.
Patience.
Comfort.
And someone who will look at her gray little face and say…
“You're still worth loving. I've got you now.” 🥹❤️

🌼 18 years of life. 18 years of love. She deserves to be someone's precious little Daisy Mae until the very end.
Please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE for this sweet senior girl. Her person may be out there — someone willing to open their heart to an old soul who desperately needs them. 🐾❤️

*Available to leave the facility Tuesday 9/29 (after vet visit on Monday 9/28)
