PIPPIN

🩷

  Pippin showed us she’s stronger than we ever knew and is  ready to step out on her own and finally find a home that is truly hers. She’s around 6 years old, about 65 lbs,  walks politely on a leash, and rides in the car like a dream.   Pippin has so much love to give but would do best as an only pet in a home with older children as she needs time to adjust to life in a home after years in a kennel setting. 


Brenna

🩷

  Brenna is about 3 years old and 58 pounds. She has spent most of her life in kennels and with her mom but is now ready to branch out.  Brenna's favorite place is right next to someone she trusts.  She is working on building her own confidence so relies on other to make her feel safe.  Routine is Brenna's jam as she thrives when she knows what to expect because of this a home as the only pet and with older children is best so she has time to safely adjust to home life.   

Bernie

💙

Why Bernie will steal your heart:
• Smart & eager, compact little guy— he LOVES learning
• Dog-friendly — happy to have canine friends
• Playful & goofy — built-in daily laughs
• Deeply loyal — once he’s yours, he’s ALL yours. Bernie is a young staffordshire bull terrier full of energy, and would thrive with an active person or family — think hikes, runs, playtime, and learning new tricks together.

Nutmeg

🩷

Sweet like her name, nutmegis a playful puppy ready to find her people. Born 12/10/25, she’s at that perfect puppy age where everything is exciting — toys, new friends, and following you around to see what you’re doing.

Nutmeg is curious, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure before settling down for some cuddles.

🐾 DOB: 12/10/25
🐾 Playful puppy energy
🐾 Learning all the puppy basics

Chestnut

💙

These sweet babies are full of puppy curiosity, cuddles, and the kind of joy that only puppies can bring. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or learning about the world for the first time, they’re ready to do it all with a family of their own. 

Pongo

💙

We’re guessing they may be Bernese Mountain Dog / Lab mixes (best guess!), which means they’ll likely grow into big, lovable companions who are equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle bug.

🐶 Pongo – the one with more white in his coat and currently the bigger brother at 16 lbs

These boys are in that fun puppy stage where everything is exciting — toys, cuddles, exploring, and learning all about the world. They’re happy, curious, and ready to grow up with families who will love them forever.

Ray Charles

💙

Ray is a 2-year-old, 55-lb blind king who navigates the world using his ears, nose, and pure confidence. Once he learns his space, he moves around like he’s been there forever.

🐾 dog friendly
🐾 affectionate
🐾 professional heart-stealer

Hercules

💙

At around 4 years old and nearly 100 pounds, this handsome guy turns heads everywhere he goes. He’s got that wow factor — but don’t let the size fool you… in his mind, he’s still a lap dog 😄

Hercules is the total package:
🐾 Friendly with people
🐾 Great with other dogs
🐾 Has lived happily with a young child
🐾 Professional treat enthusiast (and very polite about it!)

no cats or small animals, please.

Maddie

🩷

Maddie

• Wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs

• Loves car rides, leash walks, and giving kisses

• A total sweetheart who enjoys her treats and cozy routines

• Not much kennel experience yet, but eager to keep learning

Tae

🩷

Friendly with dogs and respectful of other animals (even ignores wandering chickens!)

• Loves hugs, kisses, toys, and leash walks

• Smart, playful, and full of personality

• Not a fan of hoses or water — she prefers to stay dry!

Luna

🩷

Luna is 6 years old — past the cute puppy stage that gets all the attention. She’s a quiet gentle giant who simply wants to be near her people and feel safe.

She’s good with other dogs, walks nicely on a leash, and has been kenneled before with no issues. She loves being outside and soaking up attention when someone gives it to her.

Duchess

🩷

8 weeks old

✨ Mixed breed cutie

✨ Confident, curious & cuddly

✨ Future best friend material

Sallie

🩷

These three little babies didn’t start life with much. At just 7 weeks old, Kruz, Izzy, and Sallie were found as strays — no home, no safety, just tiny puppies trying to figure out the world on their own.

Thankfully, they’re safe now. And now the only thing missing… is their people.

Each of these puppies has their own little personality already starting to shine:

🐶 Sallie – tiny, wiggly, and full of puppy charm.

Kelsey

🩷

Kelsey is an 8-week-old scruffy little mixed breed with the sweetest face and the most irresistible puppy dog eyes. With her adorable scruff, tiny white chin, and playful personality, she’s basically a real-life stuffed animal.

This little girl is good with everyone she meets—dogs, people, and all the love she can get! 💕 She’s at the perfect age to learn, grow, and bond with her forever family.

Cosmo

🩷

At just 6 months old, Cosmo has already been through more than any puppy ever should. She was found in heartbreaking conditions, underweight and in rough shape—but despite it all, she is still the sweetest, happiest little soul you could meet.

Here’s what we know about this resilient girl:
🐾 Female pit mix, ~6 months old
🐾 Good with people and other dogs
🐾 Not cat tested
🐾 Working on house and crate training
🐾 Sweet, playful, and eager to please

Cosmo is still very much a puppy

Kruz

💙

These three little babies didn’t start life with much. At just 7 weeks old, Kruz, Izzy, and Sallie were found as strays — no home, no safety, just tiny puppies trying to figure out the world on their own.

Thankfully, they’re safe now. And now the only thing missing… is their people.

Each of these puppies has their own little personality already starting to shine:

🐶 Kruz – the confident little explorer with his adorable chocolate coat and serious puppy stare.

Bo

💙

 Found at just 3 weeks old in an abandoned home with his mom and 7 siblings, Bo has already beaten the odds. Now he just needs someone to choose him.

Bo has low vision, so he can be a little shy at first—but once he knows you’re safe? He melts. He just wants to be close to his person, soaking up love and giving it right back.

✨ good with dogs
✨ good with cats
✨ gentle, sweet, and so loving
✨ just wants a human of his own
