Indy!
Indy is so excited to meet you, you and you! He loves everyone he meets! He is a young adult weighing in at 35 pounds. When he was surrendered the original owner said he was a German Shepherd/Heeler mix. While many feel sorry for him when they meet him, he does not see it that way! He radiates positivity and happiness. He loves everyone he has ever met. He loves dogs that love to play with him. He likes to chase the kitties in his home but will not hurt them. He does wish his people would never leave the house and prefers to never leave your side. Indy was originally an owner surrender to a rescue group in Kentucky because his needs were more than the breeder could handle. Indy suffers from Swimmers Syndrome. Swimmers Syndrome is a rare condition in which a puppy is unable to physically stand or walk, but instead lies flat on its chest and abdomen with hind legs extended behind and its forelegs extended to the front and/or sides. The only motion the puppy is capable of is paddling its limbs as though it is swimming. Indy is able to stand on his front legs and pull himself around that way. With his dragging and trying to stand, at times he does develop some sores and skin shearing and his hind limbs need to be wrapped or wearing sleeves/pants at all times. Because of his lack of muscle he does not have a lot of bladder control so he wears belly bands and because he drags his butt he wears a diaper. He has an easy therapy routine to maintain his range of motion and some swimming therapy to help maintain his strengthening. Indy is available for someone who is dedicated to learning his routine. We know that Indy may not be a great fit for every household but we know his perfect family is out there and he cannot wait to show them his sparkling personality and stunning smile!

Walter adores playing with his doggy pals, engaging in epic games with loud squeaky toys, and enjoying his favorite chew toys like antlers and Nylabones. His playful spirit is infectious, and he has a knack for making everyone around him smile. While Walter may bark and flinch when first encountering new situations, with the right patience and guidance, he is learning to embrace new experiences bravely.
Walter is potty trained, but like any young dog, he gets easily distracted by his furry friends and might forget to take care of business, so regular outdoor breaks are essential. He’s fully crate trained and has mastered the “kennel up” command, finding comfort in his safe space.This sweet boy knows a few basic commands, including “sit,” “leave it,” and of course, his name, showing a willingness to learn. His high energy levels are perfect for an active family that can engage him in fun activities and help him feel secure.

Meet Owen!
Age: 2
Weight: 19 pounds
Owen is a tender-hearted guy looking for a forever home where he can build his confidence and thrive. He may be a bit insecure at first, but once he feels comfortable, he transforms into an affectionate and loving companion.
Owen enjoys leisurely strolls, taking his time to sniff out every intriguing scent along the way. He loves exploring the yard and often attempts to engage in playtime with the dog in his foster home. When it comes to new people, Owen greets them with energy, but he takes time to fully warm up and be comfortable being handled.

Owen’s energy level is balanced; he enjoys walks but prefers to pause and take in his surroundings. He appreciates exploring in the yard, where he can explore at his own pace. Owen would thrive with a confident handler who understands his sensitivity to new experiences and can help him feel secure.
The ideal home for Owen is one where he can receive continued training and support to bolster his confidence. He would do best in a calm environment with a loving advocate who can provide him with structure.

Meet Kimo – The Nervous Chihuahua with a Heart of Gold! 🐾
1-year-old | 10 lbs | Chihuahua Mix
If you’ve got a soft spot for underdogs and a patient heart, then Kimo might just be your perfect match.
Kimo is a one-year-old chihuahua mix who came all the way from Texas and is slowly learning how to “dog” in his Wisconsin foster home. He may only weigh 10 pounds, but this little guy carries a big bundle of nerves, and an even bigger heart.
Kimo is naturally timid and uncertain around new people and environments. Sudden noises, busy daytime sounds, and unfamiliar faces send him into hide-and-watch mode. He prefers the quiet of the evening and finds comfort in routine and predictability. But once he feels safe? The transformation is pure magic.
In the comfort of his foster home, Kimo is showing more and more of his playful, curious side. He loves to romp with the resident dogs, chase stuffies (and absolutely destroy them), shred some paper (typical puppy mischief!), and curl up for snuggly naps under a pile of blankets. He’s not clingy, just quietly loyal and happy to be near his dog and human buddies. He’s also house-trained, kennel-trained (though not exactly thrilled about going in), and knows a few commands like “stay” and “settle.”
Kimo truly looks to other dogs for confidence. A calm, friendly, and well-adjusted canine companion is an absolute must in his future home. He needs a buddy who can show him the ropes—not another nervous pup, as that can amplify his anxiety. He’s also great with cats and isn’t food or toy possessive. In fact, he’s a total gentleman when it comes to sharing.
He’s still unsure about leashes and walks, so a secure, fenced-in yard is essential as he builds confidence at his own pace. Car rides make him nervous, but he handles them well. And despite his “resting worried face” (those furrowed brows are permanent!), he has never shown aggression, he chooses flight over fight every time.
Kimo is truly a diamond in the rough. With a patient, loving family and a stable dog sibling to lead the way, he will continue to blossom. He may never be the life of the party, but he will be the most devoted snuggle buddy you could ever ask for.
If you’re ready to offer time, understanding, and a whole lot of love, Kimo is ready to give you his heart.
Meet Moe! 🩵
Age: 10 months
Weight: 51 pounds
Are you ready for a bundle of joy that’s all about fun and laughter? Meet Moe, the delightful English bulldog who’s here to fill your home with smiles!
With his sweet and spunky personality, Moe embodies the true bulldog spirit—playful, stubborn, and a bit strong-willed. If you’re searching for a dog with character, Moe is the perfect guy for you!
This boy thrives on playtime! Whether he’s playing tug-of-war, fetch, enjoying a bully stick, or rolling around in the grass, Moe is always ready for action. He also loves going for walks and exploring the great outdoors, turning every outing into an adventure.
Moe is still young and gets excited when meeting new friends. He’s learning about personal space, so expect some bulldog hugs when he greets you! With a little patience and direction, he’ll become the perfect socialite.
He’s made fantastic progress with his crate training and sleeps through the night without a peep.
While eager to make new friends, Moe is currently navigating the art of doggy manners. He’s very playful and excitable and would be compatible with another dog who shares his style of play.
Moe has a good amount of energy and will need his daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. Once he has had adequate exercise, he loves to accompany you while preparing dinner, on morning coffee dates, and while watching your favorite TV show.
Moe would thrive in a home that provides structure and guidance in his obedience training. He would benefit from someone who has experience with the breed and appreciates all their funny quirks. Due to his strong personality and playful nature, he wouldn’t be a great fit for families with small children as he can easily knock them over. He has never been exposed to feline friends.
Having undergone surgery on his nares and soft palate to ensure clear breathing, Moe is ready to embark on new adventures with you!
More than just a pet, Moe is a hilarious, loving companion who will keep you entertained every day. He’s eager to find his forever home and create wonderful memories with you. Are you ready to welcome Moe into your heart?
Meet Horton!
Age: 5 months
Weight: 17 pounds
Are you ready to add some joy and silliness to your life? Let us introduce you to Horton, the most outgoing and playful puppy you’ll ever meet! With a heart full of love and energy to spare, Horton is on the lookout for a forever home where he can be as goofy and lively as he likes!
Horton is the epitome of fun! His playful spirit lights up any room, and his zoomies will make you laugh out loud. Whether he’s trying to convince a cat to join in on the fun (he’s working on that) or barking at his favorite toy, this little clown knows how to keep the atmosphere light and joyful.
Horton thrives on adventure! His perfect day includes long walks, playdates with puppy pals, and plenty of toy time. Don’t be surprised if he begs for a snuggle session on the couch after a lively romp—this pup knows how to balance his energy with affection.
He’s also mastering potty training with enthusiasm (and treats!) and has already got the hang of his potty time commands. Horton adores his crate, which he sees as his little den. He sleeps soundly through the night and is a perfect gentleman during the day, taking naps while you’re busy. He’s truly a superstar pup with no accidents in his crate!
Horton would love to live with an active family or individual who enjoys outdoor activities and having fun. Older kids and another playful dog would be perfect, but what’s essential is a loving home ready for all the puppy antics! With his energy level, he’ll need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation to keep his playful spirit happy and healthy.
Be prepared for some giggles as Horton is easily entertained by the most random things! Watch out when he spots an ice cube, a piece of celery, or even that terrifying robot vacuum—those zoomies are guaranteed! This little explorer will keep you on your toes and your heart full.
If you think you can keep up with his playful spirit, Horton is ready to make you laugh and love every day! 🩵
Benito!
✨ Meet Benito — 12 Weeks Old | 15 lbs | Terrier Mix ✨
If you’re looking for pure joy and endless entertainment wrapped up in a wiggly puppy body, Benito is your guy. This 12-week-old Terrier mix is equal parts energy, sweetness, and goofy charm, with a pair of ears that seem to have minds of their own. One up, one down, both up… you never know, but it’s always adorable.
💫 Personality & Energy
Benito is a high-spirited, happy puppy who approaches life with full enthusiasm. He has the attention span of a gnat until he’s had a good play session. Then he melts into a snuggly, warm little cuddle buddy for evening downtime. His favorite activities include running, playing, showing off his toys (“Look what I can do!”), and curling up with his person at night.
He’s thrilled to meet new people and greets everyone with nonstop tail wags. He’s also surprisingly respectful for such a young pup, he’ll sit and patiently wait for pets!
🏡 Training & Home Life
Benito is doing great in his crate and is “quiet as a church mouse.” He’s never had an accident in his kennel and knows several basic commands including his name, “no,” “kennel up,” and “come.” He’s still working on potty training in the home and currently wears a belly band as he settles into a new routine.
Like many exuberant puppies, Benito doesn’t always read social cues from other animals. He plays rough, doesn’t realize his size, and sometimes overwhelms smaller or more reserved dogs, though he can be redirected. He is very interested in cats in a way that’s too rough for them, so a cat-free home is best.
🏠 Benito’s Ideal Home
Benito will thrive with an active family who understands and enjoys high-energy, adventurous puppies. He’s smart, eager, and would excel in puppy classes. Because of his enthusiasm (and sharp puppy teeth!), he may be too much for very small children.
He would love:
✔️ A playful dog friend who enjoys rough-and-tumble play (not a timid or tiny dog)
✔️ A family that can give him structure, activity, and continued training
✔️ Adventures like walks, hikes, and outdoor fun
✔️ Lots of toys, especially ones he can proudly show off during his “Look what I can do!” zoomie routines
💖 Why You’ll Love Him
Benito is a gentle soul wrapped in an exuberant little body. His big brown puppy eyes will melt your heart, and his goofy acrobatics and larger-than-life joy will keep you laughing every day. After a busy day of play, he transforms into the sweetest cuddler who just wants to snuggle into your lap and feel loved.
If you’re ready for a smart, silly, energetic, loving puppy with the world’s most expressive ears… Benito can’t wait to meet you.
Philip! – PENDING!
🐾 Meet Philip — 9 Weeks Old | ~2 lbs | Dachshund Mix 🐾
Born in rescue after his abandoned mama was found left behind at an apartment complex, little Philip has known nothing but love and safety since the day he arrived — and he gives that love right back in the sweetest puppy ways.
At just over two pounds, Philip may be tiny, but his heart is huge. He’s a classic young puppy: he plays hard, naps even harder, and loves everyone he meets.
💛 Personality & Playfulness
Philip is a cheerful, affectionate, playful little guy. He loves toys, enjoys exploring his world, and when he’s done zooming around, he’s happiest snuggled up in your arms or bundled into a cozy blanket — especially after braving the cold for a potty break!
His energy level is medium for a puppy his age. He’s active, curious, and fun, but not nonstop wild. He truly enjoys connection and cuddles just as much as playtime.
🏡 Training & Home Life
Philip is doing wonderfully with crate training. He may give a small protest when first going inside, but he settles quickly and sleeps well, waking once during the night for a quick potty break before going right back to sleep.
He’s following a consistent potty schedule and making great progress — but as a very young puppy, accidents are still expected.
He’s also working on the basics, and “sit” is currently his little work-in-progress.
🐶 Other Pets
Philip likes to be playful with cats but backs off when they correct him, which is a great sign for learning boundaries. His foster family’s dogs aren’t super interested in playing, so interactions have mostly been sniffing and peaceful coexistence.
🏠 Philip’s Ideal Home
Philip could thrive in a variety of homes as long as his adopters are committed to:
✔️ Continued basic training
✔️ A consistent potty routine
✔️ Lots of love, patience, and snuggles
✔️ Understanding that he is still very small and young — structure will help him grow into a wonderful adult dog
He has a slight possible deformity that makes him walk a little hunched, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He runs, plays, and enjoys life like any other happy puppy.
💖 Why You’ll Love Him
Philip is the kind of puppy who wiggles his way into everyone’s heart. He’s lovable, sweet, playful, and endlessly snuggly — his foster family is completely obsessed with him, and it’s easy to see why. This tiny boy is ready to bring joy, warmth, and puppy sweetness to a forever home of his own.
Paul!
Meet Paul!
Paul is a 9-week-old, 3-pound Dachshund mix with the sweetest personality and an adorable little hound howl that will melt your heart. This tiny guy was born in rescue and has been charming everyone he meets ever since.
Paul is a champion snuggler who loves burrowing under blankets and curling up with his people. When he’s awake, he enjoys short bursts of playful puppy energy followed by plenty of naps. He loves being outside, exploring the yard, and meeting everyone—but because he’s so small, he’ll need supervision outdoors for his safety.
Like most puppies, Paul is still learning the ropes. He’s a work in progress with potty training but does well when taken outside consistently. He’s also getting used to his crate and may let out a couple of protest cries at night but is improving as he gains confidence. Chew bones are a must for him—he’s in the “chew everything” phase and needs appropriate outlets!
Paul gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves playing with the cats in his foster home, and is curious—but a little unsure—about the chickens outside. He would be happy with another dog or cat companion but would also thrive as the only pet as long as he gets plenty of love and attention. Because of his tiny size, we recommend a home with kids 10 years or older.
If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly puppy who loves people and will follow you everywhere, Paul might be your perfect match!
Ella! – PENDING!
Meet Ella
Ella is a 2-year-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu mix whose gentle soul and quiet sweetness win everyone over. She may be a little shy for the first five minutes, but her wagging tail, soft eyes, and pure joy for being petted help her warm up quickly to people of all ages. Ella is a low-to-medium–energy girl who loves nothing more than following her humans and dog friends around the house, curling up in a cozy bed, and sinking into anything soft.
Once she’s outside, her playful side shines. Ella loves exploring her yard, and that’s where her zoomies come out—this short-legged cutie can really run! She enjoys soft toys and plays with them gently, whether you join in or she entertains herself. She walks beautifully on leash, rides calmly in the car, and is always ready for an adventure. At under 3 years old, she has plenty of years ahead of her to be your perfect little sidekick.
Ella is fully potty trained and knows that going outside means “potty party time”—she does her business and then gets right back to having fun. She’s very well-behaved, doesn’t chew things she shouldn’t, and loves her crate. She even goes in on her own to relax!
She’s respectful with other dogs, gets along with every dog she’s met, and would thrive in a home with canine companions, or as the only pup soaking up all the love. She has been around kids and would fit well into almost any home: active families, quieter households, and everything in between.
Ella is working on basic commands and already knows her name, “come,” “no,” and all the important daily routines like mealtime and potty time. She loves attention, belly rubs, and simply being near her people. She has a charming little trick too—she can stand on her hind legs for a long time just waiting for pets… no treats required! She also adores having soft dog beds in every room so she can relax nearby and keep an eye on her humans.
This special girl has been through a lot in her short life, yet she radiates an old-soul warmth and a deep desire to be loved. She does have a heart murmur that should be checked annually and an eye lens abnormality that needs monitoring, but she is otherwise a healthy, happy sweetheart.
Ella is truly the definition of an “easy dog” and will make life sweeter for any family lucky enough to call her theirs. She is ready to bring love, loyalty, and gentle joy into her forever home.
