Meet Lassie, a gorgeous Hound/Husky Mix who is looking for a family to call her own!

Lassie is one of those dogs who is sure to catch your eye the moment you meet her. Her stunning Husky looks and those incredible blue eyes make her absolutely beautiful, but we're sure there's so much more to this girl than just her good looks!

Now all Lassie needs is someone to look past those gorgeous eyes and fall in love with the wonderful dog behind them.

Could Lassie be the missing piece to your family? Come meet her and see if she's your perfect match!

Please SHARE Lassie's post and help this beautiful girl find her forever family!

Lassie is ready for her happily ever after!

🐾❤️ MEET GINGER! ❤️🐾

Sweet Ginger has already been through more than any dog should ever have to endure.

When Ginger arrived at our shelter, she had a collar that had grown into her neck. We can't imagine the pain and discomfort she experienced, but despite everything she went through, Ginger has shown us just how strong and loving she truly is.

Today, Ginger is healthy, happy, and ready to put her past behind her. She deserves a family who will show her what it means to be loved, cared for, and cherished every single day.

She has already overcome so much, and now we're looking for that special person who will give her the forever home she deserves.

Please don't let Ginger's difficult past define her. She is so much more than what happened to her. She is a survivor, a sweet girl with a bright future ahead of her, and she is ready for her happily ever after.

Could you be Ginger's forever family?

Please SHARE Ginger's story and help us find the loving home she has been waiting for!

🐾💙 MEET THEO! 💙🐾
If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic best friend who is always ready for an adventure, Theo might be your guy!
Theo is a Lab Mix with a BIG personality and plenty of energy to share! He is playful, fun, and loves to run around and have a good time.
Theo does walk on a leash, although he could use a little more training to help him become the best walking buddy he can be!
Because Theo is such an energetic boy, we think he would do great with older kids or teenagers who can keep up with him, play with him, and help him burn off some of that energy! Whether it's running around the yard, playing fetch, or just enjoying some outdoor adventures, Theo is ready to have FUN!
Theo has so much love and personality to give. All he needs now is a family willing to give him the exercise, guidance, patience, and love he deserves.
Could Theo be your new best friend?
Please SHARE and help us find this fun-loving boy the forever family he's been waiting for!
Theo is ready for his next adventure could it be with YOU?

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Dolly Parton! She was a true icon. Her accomplishments were impeccable and her heart was true in giving to those in need! Rest easy sweet lady! Tonight you have the mansion the Good Lord promised and you are walking the streets of gold singing in Heaven's choir.
