All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, micro chipped an 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 we are not staffed to process applications for general future reference. 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 off for no reason when the owner is nearby. When you're away you're going to need a secured 6-foot fence. he will do anything or break anything in efforts to go with you at first. He has broken teeth in a standard extra-large kennel. He now has free roam or is left in a safe house. He is a devoted dog. He has not received much training. He comes from a neglected background. He will jump on you when excited. He also has been known to have accidents in the house. Bo does not like large dogs outside of the home especially. 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
Casey
Casey is an adorable and fluffy German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix puppy. She's around 12 weeks old and weighs just under 18lbs.
Casey is sweet, affectionate, playful, but not too high energy. She gets along well with kids, other dogs, cats, and has been around chickens. She's fairly independent and enjoys soaking up the sun and exploring outside and loves to be close to her people, too. She's a confident puppy and is working on potty training.
Due to the unique mix and traits of both breeds, we are looking for adopters who have experience or at least an understanding of what is required to keep Casey mentally and physically happy. She will be a large dog and we're looking for someone who is home a lot, is willing to train her, and will take her on adventures and provide mental stimulation (a job).
Casey is not suited for an apartment.
She's spayed and UTD. Her adoption fee is $275.

Eli
Eli is a mixed breed. We really don't know what is in his DNA. We listed him as Cairn mix. He is 14 pounds, blonde wire-haired coat, although he's very soft. He is 11 years old. His primary caretaker passed away. Eli is in good health to the best of our knowledge. He has had a dental. They removed 18 teeth. Eli is very timid and submissive. He is very shy with people so it may take him a while to fall in love with you, but he will. Eli likes a quiet home with lots of lap time. He needs a fence yard because he loves spending time outside. Walks are nice and lap time is even better! He is food motivated. He is neutered, UTD and chipped. His adoption fee is $150.
Sugar
Sugar is an adorable 8-year-old apple head Chihuahua who weighs just under 7 pounds. She does have luxating patellas in her rear legs. They are a grade 2-3. She also has some scaring on her corneas due to untreated ulcers in the past. To the best of our knowledge she is otherwise healthy. Sugar was extremely timid at first and has been progressing well in her foster home. She still has a quite a way to go as she gets frightened easily. Once she gets to know you, she wants nothing more than to love and cuddle! She adores her human foster parents but does not want to share them with the other dogs in the house. She gets along with the other dogs but doesn't seem particularly attached to any of them so she will be fine as an only dog as long as her person is home a lot. She knows how to use the doggie door but still has occasional accidents in the house. We tried putting a leash on Sugar to take her for a walk and she seemed excited but then panicked when she got out on the sidewalk. With a lot of patience she may come around but in the meantime she enjoys exploring the back yard. She is at a healthy weight right now but loves her food and treats so she needs to be monitored to keep her trim. She bounces with excitement at feeding time! We do not recommend children for this dog due to delicateness and how easily she startles. We are looking for someone who is home most of the time. She may be okay going places with you, but it won't happen right away. She will make an ideal pet for a patient, gentle person who wants pure love, 24/7. Her adoption fee is $275. She is spayed, up to date, chipped and will have a dental soon.

To prospective adopters;
It is true rescuers are more particular of who they adopt dogs too. 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.
