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!

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.

Walter is a lovable, goofy boy who is eagerly waiting for his forever home! At 2 years old and 39 pounds, this sweet soul is initially a bit nervous and shy around new people, experiences, and places. But don’t let his timid nature fool you! Once Walter feels settled and comfortable, he transforms into an endearing goofus, filled with playful energy and charm that is guaranteed to brighten your day.
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.
Walter would thrive in a household with another playful dog or two, but it isnt a requirememt. A home without small a children is ideal, allowing him the time and space he needs to decompress and adjust to his new surroundings.He is a clumsy, lovable doofus who will keep you laughing and bring joy to your days.
Walter is currently healing from a small tear in his knee. We will be including magnawave sessions and chiropractor appointments with his adoption.

Age: 10 years
Weight: 10 pounds
Sunshine is a Chihuahua mix who believes she’s a golden retriever trapped in a tiny body. Expect big smiles and enthusiastic leg stomps whenever you walk into a room. She’s the ultimate sidekick, ready to supervise your household chores—after all, who better to help with folding laundry than a 10-pound fluffball?
Her hobbies include snuggling on your lap, providing moral support during vacuuming sessions, and finding the highest perch in the house (couch armrest, blanket mountain, or the bed—she’s not picky!). She’s also a social butterfly, greeting new friends with enthusiastic tail wags and an occasional bark that says, “Welcome to my kingdom!”
Sunshine is a pro at house training but appreciates extra bathroom breaks (small dog privilege!). She’s working on crate training and will bark a hello when she senses you’re home—it’s just her way of saying, “I missed you!”
While Sunshine boasts a low energy level, she still gets a kick out of playing with her big dog buddies and even tolerates the resident cats. She might be on a weight loss journey, but she’s ready for semi-active adventures with you, like leisurely walks that end in more snuggling on the couch.
If you’re looking for a partner who will dance (or at least wiggle) with joy when you come home, and enjoy long Netflix binges, Sunshine is your girl! She thrives on quality couch time and considers herself the queen of relaxation. Ready to make her your royal snuggle buddy? 🫶🏼
Meet Tony – Smart & Spunky 🐾
Tony is a 6-month-old, 22 pound cattle dog mix who’s equal parts cuddle bug and chaos gremlin. This boy is all about high-speed zoomies, squeaky toys (only the true squeakers, thank you very much), and curling up for a nap once he’s played himself out. He sleeps through the night and has been a quiet, chill crate sleeper since day one.
Tony is learning the ropes of being a well-mannered pup, and while he’s mastered crate and potty training, is a huge fan of walks and is doing great on leash, he’s still figuring out the world, and his place in it. He’s food-motivated, sharp, and eager to please. With consistency and patience, he’s already picking up on house manners and basic cues.
He struggles with overexcitement and arousal that can lead to hard mouthing, jumping, and nipping, especially when greeting people (even if you’ve only been gone 30 seconds). This behavior can be intense and will require an experienced, committed adopter who’s ready to channel that cattle dog energy into structure, training, and confidence-building. His fosters are working hard on teaching Tony that it is ok to just “chill” and chew on a bone or lie down on his “place”.
He enjoys playing with other dogs (chase and tug are favorites) but on his own terms. He doesn’t enjoy being challenged or approached too quickly by more assertive pups, especially around people or resources. He’s currently working on boundaries and impulse control in multi-dog situations. A home with no dogs or a calm, low-conflict companion that knows how to respect his space would be ideal.
Tony loves people, but young kids’ fast movements and loud voices can overwhelm him. In quiet moments, he’ll happily snuggle in a lap and dole out kisses. In chaotic ones, he’ll retreat, or try to control the situation the only way he knows how: with his teeth. He definitely has herding tendencies and will need a more structured home that can guide him and show him manners. He thrives on exercise and positive feedback from his people.
Tony would not thrive in an apartment or high-stimulation environment. He’s sensitive to unfamiliar sounds (even stomach growls!) and can be reactive when startled. He needs space to run, sniff, play — and people who won’t give up on him when it gets tough.
But if you understand dogs like Tony — if you love a challenge, believe in second chances, and want a wildly intelligent, sensitive pup to grow and bond with — this little cattle dog might just be your perfect project. 💙
What Tony Needs:
• An experienced, patient adopter committed to daily training
• No small children
• No or calm, low-conflict dogs
• A home with a yard (no apartments)
• Someone who sees his potential, not just the problems
Tony’s not perfect — but he’s incredibly special. With the right person, he’s going to be an amazing dog.
Are you ready to give Tony the guidance, structure, and love he deserves?
