All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, and have their teeth cleaned if needed.
All applications must have a specific dog in mind for us to begin the adoption process. I'm sorry but we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference, and we are not set up to recall individuals with requests for a dog based on descriptions of what they are looking for.

BO
Bo is a 3-year-old Bouvier Des Flanders. He weighs 103 pounds. He was left alone a lot and kept escaping from his previous owner. He really just wants to be with his person. He's not one to wander when the owner is nearby. When you're away, you're going to need a secured 6-foot fence as he will do anything in an effort to go with you. He broke his teeth when left in a standard extra-large kennel. He now has free roam or is left in a safe house kennel. He is a devoted dog. Bo has not received much training and will jump on you when excited. He also has been known to have accidents in the house. Bo does not like large dogs, especially outside of the home. He gets along with littles under close supervision. With people he is terrific! He's a total love bug even around children. We are looking for someone with the breed knowledge, owns a home with a 6-foot fenced yard, has training experience, and wants a dog that will follow you to the ends of the earth. Bo does have a medical issue. He has chronic Pancreatitis and requires a low-fat diet. He's really smart. I think he will really come around with the right person. He is neutered, up to date and chipped. and has had a dental. His adoption fee is $275
Carson
Carson is a 13 year old, 12 lb., wirehaired Terrier mix. Even though he is a senior, he is quite spunky and can dance on his feet! Sadly, he lost his home when his owner went into a busy, senior independent home. He was not welcomed to stay, because he alert barks at strangers. Once he gets to know people, he greets them with happy jumping and zoomies. (He really wants to enter a dance contest.)
Carson, as is his breed, can be grumpy with another dominant dog. He needs an owner that understands how to work with an alpha dog.
Carson would love a home with an active senior who will take him on walks and for car rides. He loves to sleep under the covers. He will need a seasoned groomer, because he doesn't enjoy the spa experience.
Carson has had his teeth cleaned and is up to date on vaccines, and he is microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.

Maggie
This dog has a pending adoption.
Maggie is a 2-year-old, 6.2-pound Chihuahua-Doxie mix. When she was first with us, she was quite nervous, but her personality has blossomed since she feels secure. Maggie loves to play with the puppies in her foster home, and she must have retriever in her as she chases and catches balls and toys! Maggie doesn't do well with dominate dogs, but would still be fine with the right canine buddy.
Maggie is looking for her human soulmate and will get very attached to her person(s). She loves to cuddle and will sleep under the covers with you. She is a great lap dog but be prepared for playtime. She is not a couch potato! For Maggie, she will want someone who will be home most of the time and will provide her with activities to burn off her energy. She prefers an adult-only home. Please, no children that may scare her. We are looking for a home with a fenced yard. As with her breed, Maggie can still be skittish and is not leash trained.
Maggie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.

To prospective adopters:
It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs to. We see all the horrible treatment of animals every day. We literally rescue dogs from the poor or abusive treatment of humans. In my personal opinion, society has evolved to where owning a dog is a right and privilege. Most people consider only what they want and not what is right for the dog. That is why once a dog is in our hands, and consequently in our hearts, we make sure that anyone who adopts an animal from us has a good life to offer the dog. It is not an easy task. Everyone wants a dog. We try to screen people first before getting too involved with helping them find a dog, or we would be simply selling dogs. We are also a strictly a volunteer organization. Most of us work at least part-time jobs. Our time to the rescue is valuable and limited. We believe that anyone who is sincerely a wonderful potential adopter will endure the process.
