Dell

Dell's owner passed away. She is very sweet but timid and skittish. She needs someone at home often to help her get some confidence back. She is an 8-pound 7-year-old Chihuahua. She is good with other dogs and cats but no children that may scare her please. She is spayed, up to date on shots and has had a recent dental. Dell is potty trained and can use a pet door. A secure fenced yard is required for her. Her adoption fee is $275. 

Denali

Denali is a spit fire full of joy! He's just a year old and still very much a puppy. He had too much puppy energy for his last owner who was a senior. He needs a very active person and a canine playmate his size or bigger would be great! He is said to be a Pom mix. His coat is artic white with a gorgeous pluming tail. His head looks more Labrador like. He is only 20 pounds. He is sweet, loving and playful without an aggressive bone in his body. He is potty trained and knows a pet door but does need obedience training. His biggest negative is jumping up on you and rushing you threw doorways. Nothing a person with some training skills could not fix. He just hasn't had that yet. He is a very happy dog. It was difficult to get him to sit still for pictures. He would be fine with other dogs, cats or older gentle children. He is neutered up to date and micro chipped. His adoption fee is $275. 

Kelly

HAS A PENDING ADOPTION

Kelly is a 10-year-old Shih Tzu. She weighs 17.3 pounds. She is very sweet and has no known medical issues. She is potty trained and will ask to go out. Kelly is up to date on shots, spayed and microchipped. She was a stray, so we do not have a past history on her. She is good with other dogs and with cats but being the queen of the castle would suit her just fine. She would be a great companion to a retiree. She lounges a lot but does like walks. Her adoption fee is $200. 

Lola

Lola is a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix. She is quite chubby at 14.8 pounds. She may be mixed with Pom or even Corgi. She is super sweet. She was living in a home with an autistic child. The two did not get along. In an adult household she is a lovely pet. She would be perfect for a retired household. She is fine with other dogs but would prefer to be queen of the castle. She doesn't mind cats. She is She is quick to roll over for belly rubs and is definitely food motivated. She is house trained. She is up to date on shots, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption donation request is $275. 

Louis

Louis is a 15.4, 2-year-old Dachshund mix. He is a red merle. He is very sweet and cuddly but should be watched around other dogs when treats are involved. He gets along with other dogs but is more than fine alone. He is also fine with cats. He is potty trained and knows a pet door. He was a stray, so we do not have history on him. He would love a home with a fenced yard and to be able to sleep under the covers with you. His adoption fee is $275. He is neutered, up to date on shots, and microchipped. 

ROSE

Rose is a 7 year old yorkie/poo. She weighs 6.4 pounds but needs to gain about a pound. She was owner surrendered because the owner took ill. She most likely had NEVER been groomed. We had to shave her down. She has plenty of energy for a 7 year old and has a dominant personality. She is very sweet and loving with her person, but has some possession aggression with her person or food, if another dog tries to infringe. She gets along with other dogs generally speaking, but would prefer to be your one and only. She is fine with cats, but due to her frail size, we are looking for a home without children. She was never let out side so she is not potty trained. Her adoption fee is $275. She is spayed, up to date, chipped and has had a recent dental.

He is potty trained but does need some obedience training. He does not come when called so he will need to learn that right away. He loves to cuddle and be loved. No small children please. He does have a bite history, but the person was trying to break up a dog fight at the time. Turpin gets along with all the other Misfit dogs with the exception of a couple of tiffs over treats.

A 6 foot fenced in yard is required. His adoption fee is $275. He has had a recent dental, is chipped and UTD. 

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.
