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 4 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!
Mark!
Meet Mark: Your Future BFF!
Age: 4 years old
Weight: 60 pounds
Mark is a loyal and affectionate big guy looking for his forever home! With a big personality, he’s ready to bring love and joy to your life. He’s full of energy and has a strong desire to please, making him a delightful companion. His playful spirit and loving nature will surely capture your heart!
This little dynamo loves to play fetch and is currently working on his recall and release commands. He enjoys long walks, snuggling up in a cozy spot, and getting chin and chest scratches. Mark has a high energy level and needs regular exercise. After a solid 20-30 minutes of activity, he’ll be ready for a nice nap on the couch!
Mark is welcoming and energetic when meeting new people, and he loves to spread joy with his affectionate nature. He thrives on attention and is eager to make new friends! Mark is fully house trained and crate trained. He loves to burrow into a fluffy blanket in his crate, where he feels secure and cozy.
Mark knows several commands, including sit, down, go to bed, and come (when there are no distractions). He’s a smart boy and is eager to learn more!
Mark prefers to be the only pet in the home. While he has become accustomed to the resident female boxer, he is not a fan of the older male dog and can be a bit hyper and dominant. Mark is good with kids (with supervision) and he has gentle manners when taking treats from little hands. However, due to his energetic nature, he would do best in a home with older children (10+), as he can be a bit unsure about quick movements from younger ones.
Mark would thrive in an active home that provides structure and consistency. He loves walks and hikes but should not be allowed off-leash around small animals. A fully fenced yard is essential, and he enjoys snuggling on the furniture but prefers to sleep in his kennel at night.
Mark is on a prescription diet due to early signs of kidney disease, but his condition has remained stable. He’s great during bath time and is generally cooperative when it comes to grooming. Mark is neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm negative.
Mark has some adorable quirks! He’ll dance and spin when he really needs to go outside, and he has the most charming pitty smile with big, bright eyes. He’s great at reading people and knows just when you need a little extra love, offering sweet licks on the cheek and cozy snuggles.
Mark is truly a good boy with so much potential for the right family. He will thrive with structure and consistency, and his desire to please makes him a joy to train. Mark shows his appreciation every day with soft, over-the-top kisses and endless affection.

Phoebe!
Meet Phoebe!
Age: 5 years
Weight: 55 pounds
Phoebe is a delightful mix of mellow and energetic, making her the perfect companion for those who enjoy both relaxation and playtime. This sweet girl is incredibly attentive and eager to please, showcasing her intelligence by quickly picking up new commands. Although she can be a bit nervous in new environments and during car rides, Phoebe is making great strides and is learning to take cues from her confident human. With her quirky, goofy personality, Phoebe fills her foster home with joy—she loves to make silly noises and proudly presents her toys when she’s excited to see you!
Favorite Activities:
– Fetch: Phoebe is a pro at returning the ball and knows how to “drop it.” You’ll love watching her run around the yard squeaking her favorite toy—it’s a sight to behold!
– Chewing: She enjoys gnawing on her bone and will happily spend time doing so. – Relaxing: As she becomes more comfortable in her surroundings, Phoebe is learning to chill in her “place” and enjoy the moment.
– Outdoor Fun: From rolling in the grass to barking at squirrels, Phoebe loves to soak up the sun and explore her yard.
– Walks: She gets excited when it’s time for a walk and is making progress on her leash manners, especially when there are squirrels around!
– Affection: This sweet girl loves to be scratched and will lean in for more attention, wiggling with joy when you talk to her.
Phoebe adores people! While she can get a bit excited during introductions, she’s learning to match her human’s energy and will take cues well. She may bark at neighbors or passersby, but it’s all in good fun, and she’s improving her manners!
Phoebe is house trained and knows to signal when she needs to go outside. She’s also crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night, only waking up for potty breaks or the sound of commotion.Phoebe has a solid grasp of several commands, including “sit,” “down,” “stay,” “come,” and “drop it.” She responds well to her name and is always eager to learn more!
Phoebe would thrive in a home where she can be the only pet, as she has some jealous tendencies. A routine and a structured environment are essential for her continued development. While a fenced yard would be a bonus, regular walks and outdoor time are just as important. An adopter who will gently challenge her and provide a safe, loving space will be rewarded with an incredibly loyal and loving companion.
Phoebe is known for her excited “screams” and full-body tail wags! She loves to bring you a toy or bone when she’s happy to see you, and enjoys being tucked in under a blanket for cozy morning naps.
As Phoebe has some skin conditions that require regular baths every 2-3 weeks, potential adopters should be prepared for this. She may not be suited for doggy daycare or boarding due to her sensitivity to chaotic environments, but with time and trust, she could adapt to car rides and staying with a trusted friend or family member.
Phoebe is spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm negative. Phoebe is a unique, lovable dog who will blossom in the right home. If you’re looking for a companion who will bring joy, laughter, and a little bit of quirkiness into your life, Phoebe 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.

Intelligent and obedient, Bonny has mastered essential commands like sit, stay, down, heel, and recall. She delights in walks, car rides, playtime with toys, and outdoor adventures. Bonny’s affectionate nature shines through as she seeks out opportunities to cuddle with her human friends. As Bonny transitions to her new environment, she will thrive with patience, structure, and consistency. She is in search of an active family who is committed to continuing her training and providing her with the care she deserves.

Buck is an absolute sweetheart who loves to be the center of attention. He’s an eager learner, always excited for training sessions, and his goofy antics will keep you entertained.

Buck knows a variety of commands, including sit, shake, lay down, stay, come, out, and kennel. He’s currently working on “leave it” and “drop it,” and he’s learning to sit calmly while his leash is being put on.
Buck hasn’t had any interactions with kids in his foster home, but due to his enthusiastic tail, he might not be the best fit for families with small children. With a medium energy level, Buck enjoys regular exercise to keep him happy and healthy. He loves a few short play sessions throughout the day and is just as content to lounge on the couch with his favorite humans. Buck has a quirky habit of pulling all the toys out of the toy bin, even when he doesn’t want to play! He’ll pick one up and strut around with it, his tail wagging joyfully—sometimes even while he’s sleeping!
Buck would thrive in a home with at least one other dog to play with and keep him company. He needs a patient owner who will continue his training and help him build confidence. His smart and eager-to-please personality makes him a great candidate for further training!
Buck will be adopted on a neuter contract. Due to his hips and still growing, it is advised to hold off on his neuter until he is 2-3 years of age. Buck has been seeing a doggy chiropractor and doing fantastic. We will include some chiropractor sessions with his adoption. He is up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and heartworm negative.
Buck loving and clingy companion who has made great strides in his confidence. While he enjoys being close to his humans, he’s learning to take naps independently and not follow you everywhere. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate dog who will fill your life with joy, Buck is the perfect match for you! He’s ready to bring love into your home and become your new best friend!
