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!

Sampson!

Introducing Sampson, the handsome 6-year-old pup weighing around 60 pounds, who is searching for a patient and understanding forever home to help him navigate his anxiety and build trust. While new people and places can be overwhelming for him initially, Sampson blossoms with time and patience, revealing his goofy and playful side that his caretakers have come to adore. Creating a strong bond based on trust and leadership is essential for Sampson’s happiness and well-being. He thrives with guidance from his human and feels most secure when he can rely on their support. Sampson has mastered his basic obedience, walks well on a leash, and is both crate and house trained. He enjoys spending time outdoors, whether soaking up the sun or exploring hiking trails. Due to his insecurities, Sampson would do best as the only pet in a home without children. He is a perfect blend of chill and playful, making him an ideal companion for someone who appreciates outdoor adventures as well as downtime. With the right person who understands his needs, Sampson has the potential to thrive and bring joy to their life. To ensure Sampson’s success in his new home, training sessions will be provided to potential adopters. While he may require some patience and understanding, Sampson is a truly wonderful dog who is ready to find a loving family to call his own. If you are looking for a loyal and loving companion who will appreciate your guidance, consider opening your heart to Sampson and giving him the happy and stable life he deserves.

Brutus!

Our boy Brutus is still on the hunt for his second chance at a forever family! Mr. Brutus was originally adopted from us as a puppy about two years ago and he has once again landed in our care after having behavioral issues in his adoptive home.  Brutus is now about 3 years old, just under 20 pounds, and a DNA test showed him to be a Chihuahua/Belgian Malinois mix. “Small dog with a large personality” really rings true when it comes to Brutus with his high intelligence, an eagerness to work and be challenged, and his desire for human companionship.

Brutus has been in his foster home for a year and has gone through a 5 week board-and-train program with our friend Stephanie at the Beckett School. During his training, he has become very familiar with tools that will be essential for his every day life to help him keep a healthy state of mind and make good choices. Any interested adoptive home will be required to continue the use of these tools, experience isn’t required, but is definitely a bonus! An open mind to training tools and balanced training methods is a must. He has made amazing improvements since his board and train and we are so proud of him! Brutus is what we can best describe as a Sour Patch kid. He can be sweet, but he can also be sour. He struggles with food reactivity, resource guarding, and some other occasional cranky episodes that come mostly at night time, (waking up from a nap, not wanting to go in his crate) which his foster mom refers to as his night time “scaries”. He has not had one of these episodes in a couple months and is doing great!   Brutus is a great little adventure buddy and is always up for a walk, run, hike, or any other kind of activity his humans are up for. He loves being challenged mentally as well as physically and enjoys learning new tricks or working on the ones he already knows. He is also great when going on car rides and just sits back to enjoy the ride. Brutus has mastered the “place” command and while he is out of his kennel, spends most of his time inside relaxing in his “place” and practicing being calm and not letting himself get too over stimulated. Naps are one of his favorite activities and he makes some pretty funny noises while yawning. He is continuing to work through his food reactivity and resource guarding by practicing the “out” command daily. His favorite activity outside is grabbing a tennis ball or any toy and running around the yard with it in his mouth. Unlike a lot of us, Brutus loves the snow and will run around in the snow and chase after snowballs! After some extended decompression time, Brutus has been co-existing with the dogs in his foster home and has done very well with them under close supervision, although he prefers dogs closer to his size. He likes to chase and be chased by his four-legged friends and just likes to feel like one of the gang. Brutus would do well co-existing with other dogs as long as they respect his space.

Brutus would do best in a home with adults only. An active and structured home is his best fit, and a family that is 100% committed to keeping his training going throughout his life. Any leniency in this can create set backs and an environment that Brutus will take advantage of and will continue to act out in. He would love to do agility classes, obedience classes or other activities that help stimulate his busy mind. A home with a fenced in yard would be ideal to help him get as much exercise as possible. He truly is a great, quirky, little dog for the right home. He may be a challenging dog, but he is 100% worth it, he deserves a second chance at having a home. If you are looking for an adventure friend and feel like your home is the right environment for Brutus to continue to live a happy life, please fill out an application today!

Jenny!

Meet Jenny, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold who weighs in just under 60lbs. Jenny was adopted as a puppy but sadly lost her original owner. Thankfully, she found her way back to us and is now looking for a new forever home.

Jenny does have some resource guarding tendencies with other dogs, especially when it comes to food and attention. So making sure to feed her separate from other animals in the home is very important. Because of this, she would do best as an only dog or with a much smaller dog with constant supervision. She can sometimes get this way with her humans when it comes to bones as well. She needs slow introductions to people and other dogs, especially larger breeds. Jenny has not been around cats or children, so a home without either would be best for her.

Despite her quirks, Jenny is a loving and intelligent pup. She enjoys walks, running around the yard, and snuggling on the couch. She is vocal and may bark at new people or things outside, but she listens well when told to be quiet. Jenny thrives in a structured environment with a routine. She would do best in a patient home that enjoys the outdoors and is willing to take her on walks. Once she builds a bond with her family, Jenny is incredibly loyal and will make a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a smart and loving dog to join your family, Jenny is the one for you.

Jenny!

Meet Jenny, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold who weighs in just under 60lbs. Jenny was adopted as a puppy but sadly lost her original owner. Thankfully, she found her way back to us and is now looking for a new forever home.

Jenny does have some resource guarding tendencies with other dogs, especially when it comes to food and attention. So making sure to feed her separate from other animals in the home is very important. Because of this, she would do best as an only dog or with a much smaller dog with constant supervision. She can sometimes get this way with her humans when it comes to bones as well. She needs slow introductions to people and other dogs, especially larger breeds. Jenny has not been around cats or children, so a home without either would be best for her.

Despite her quirks, Jenny is a loving and intelligent pup. She enjoys walks, running around the yard, and snuggling on the couch. She is vocal and may bark at new people or things outside, but she listens well when told to be quiet. Jenny thrives in a structured environment with a routine. She would do best in a patient home that enjoys the outdoors and is willing to take her on walks. Once she builds a bond with her family, Jenny is incredibly loyal and will make a wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a smart and loving dog to join your family, Jenny is the one for you.
