Scout is an adorable little cairn terrier puppy, born 3/1/26. He has puppy papers to be registered with the ACA (American Canine Association.) He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a prospective stud dog. Instead, he was purchased into rescue so he can spend his life in a lap rather than in a breeder's pen.

He is an active, playful, friendly puppy who gets along well with other dogs. He has passed 2 vet checks, and is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations and wormings. He weighed 4 pounds 14 ounces on 6/1/26.

Because he is too young to neuter, he will be placed with a neuter contract. When proof of surgery has been received, adopter will be mailed a rebate check for $50.00

His adoption fee is $450.00

If you would like to adopt Scout, email me at [email protected] and request an application.

If you're looking for a dog that will stop traffic when you walk with him, check out Maverick. This stunning blue merle miniature poodle puppy was born 1/26/26. He has papers to be registered with UABR (United All Breeds Registry). He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a prospective stud dog.

Maverick is a playful, friendly, active puppy who gets along well with other dogs. He got 2 good vet checks, and is microchipped, vaccinated and wormed. He weighed 12 pounds on 6/1/26.

Buddy is an adorable little goldendoodle puppy, born 2/9/26. He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a potential stud dog. Instead, he was purchased into rescue so he can spend his life as a valued family member rather than in a breeder's pen.

Nothing on his paperwork indicated what size poodle his parent is, but based on his current small size it's possible that he is actually a mini-goldendoodle, but I have no way to confirm that except to see how big he gets when he's full grown. He weighed 10 pounds 13 ounces on 5/6/26.

He is a happy, playful, very active baby who loves playing with people and other pups. He is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations and wormings.

Because he is too young to neuter, he will be placed with a neuter contract. When proof of surgery is received, adopter will be mailed a rebate check for $50.00

His adoption fee is $450.00

If you would like to adopt Buddy, email me at [email protected] and request an application.

Cooper has had an interesting life. He was found as a stray and sent to a shelter, then adopted. His adopter was unable to manage him and so Cooper came into rescue.

He is a sweet boy once he gets to know you, but can be aggressive towards strangers so will need an experienced adopter. He is not house or leash trained, so will need work on both of those. Because of his tendency to snap if frightened, he should have an adult-only home. He has not been cat tested.

He appears to be a dachshund mixed with some sort of terrier (or possibly a wire-haired dachshund, but would need DNA testing to confirm.) The vet estimates him at 6-12 months old. He has been microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated, and dosed with Nexgard Plus for flea, tick and intestinal worms and heartworm prevention. He weighs 20 pounds.

His adoption fee is $150.00

Apollo is a little white and cream pekingese puppy, born 5/15/25. He has ACA (American Canine Association) registration papers. He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a potential stud dog. Instead, he was purchased into rescue so he can learn to be a loving pet rather than spending his life in a breeder's pen.

He is a shy puppy and will need a lot of lap time and gentle handling to get over his fear of people. He has a sweet and playful disposition and is good with other dogs. He is microchipped, neutered and up to date with vaccinations and wormings and flea/tick prevention, and got a good vet check. He weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces on 12/4/25.

His adoption fee is $450.00

If you would like to adopt Apollo, email me at [email protected] and request an application.

Xena is a pretty tricolored dog who was found as a stray out in the woods, miles from anything. The people who found her couldn't keep her because they have health issues, and so Xena came into rescue.

She is possibly some kind of terrier, maybe mixed with smooth coated border collie, but without a DNA test it's hard to say just what kind of mix she is.

She does have the typical terrier puppy disposition. She is feisty, high-activity, playful and friendly. She is a little too interested in the barn cats, so would probably do best in a cat-free home. She got a good vet check, is spayed, and has been given age-appropriate vaccinations, has been dosed with Nexgard Plus for flea/tick/worm prevention, and microchipped. She weighed 32 pounds on 7/3/25. The vet estimated that she was born somewhere around 1/29/25.

Her adoption fee is $100.00

Destiny was found by a lady in the parking lot of a store close to a major highway. There was no person or other dog anywhere nearby, so Destiny came into rescue. After trying to locate her owner with no success, Destiny is now available for a new home.

The vet estimates that she was born around 3/25/24, which means she was dumped at about 6 weeks of age. She looks like she is possibly a lab mix, but only a DNA test can determine her ancestry for certain.

She had a good vet check, is spayed and has been microchipped and is up to date with shots and wormings. She weighed 46 pounds as of 10/31. She is super playful and very friendly, and would probably be a wonderful kids' dog.

Her adoption fee is $100.00

If you would like to adopt Destiny, email me at [email protected] and request an application.
