FLUFFY (Adopt)

For those of you who want the perfect dog, Fluffy is your girl! She is perfectly house-trained, she doesn't jump, cry, or scratch at the door. She won't chew up your slippers, she's not a barker or a digger, and she has impeccable manners. She likes to sleep with you (but is also content in her crate), and she will ride quietly in the car for hours. She doesn't eat much (she's already stuffed!), she loves to cuddle, and she gets along great with everyone!

Obviously Fluffy is not real, but for those of you who want a REAL dog, one that will be your loyal companion and lifelong protector, one that will love you unconditionally until its last breath, we have some wonderful dogs who would love to meet you!

The simple truth is -- no dog is instantly perfect. If you want a dog that will never bark, jump, dig, chew, has perfect manners, and is 100% house-trained on day one, then please adopt Fluffy (or one like her).

A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but in the beginning some may require a little extra effort on your part. Some of these dogs have been abandoned, abused, starved, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they once trusted. Their worlds have been turned upside down beyond their ability to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Some may need a refresher course in house-training. And, after being abandoned, some may have separation issues and will need help to feel secure.

It may take two weeks or it may take six months, but these issues can all be overcome with a little love and patience (and we're always here to help in any way we can). You will then have your perfect dog, and a true Best Friend Forever.

If you wish to sponsor Fluffy, your donation will help the real dogs in our care, and is tax deductible. (Donate) Thank you for your support!

Tyson

TYSON (Adopt)

Tyson is a darling little Cairn Terrier who is about 2 years old and weighs 9 pounds. He prefers women, but his wonderful foster family has been working with him and he's learning that men can be pretty great too!  

He's an affectionate little guy and not a yapper like some terriers. He's very attentive and smart. He gets along fine with other small dogs (currently living with two others) but is a bit nervous around the big ones.

Tyson sometimes gets overstimulated when passing other dogs on leash, but his foster mom has been working with him, and he is really improving. He pays attention when she says "Tyson, look at me" if he gets too focused on someone approaching. Then when he passes them with no problem, he gets a treat. He still doesn't like to be focused on and approached by a stranger, but he is doing much better.

Tyson loves to be near his person but is not demanding of attention. He's happy to chill on his bed with a chewie. He has that great combination of independence and yet is also affectionate. Tyson will make a great little companion who's the perfect size to travel.

Bentley

BENTLEY (Adopt)

Bentley is an adorable 9-yr-young Shih Tzu mix who weighs 17 pounds. He is a sweet dog who greets everyone he meets with a wagging tail and enthusiasm. Bentley loves to sunbathe, as well as go for walks. He also loves to play fetch. This little guy is no couch potato!  

Bentley loves to cuddle, but also has an independent side to him and is content to do his own thing, although he likes being in the same room as his person. Bentley is a good watchdog and will alert you to passersby while he's in the house. He has some diminished vision in one eye but the other one is fine and he has no problem navigating around.  

Just like all of us older folks, Bentley has some stiffness in his back leg which he takes some oral anti-inflammatories for. Bentley has had a vet checkup including blood work, urinalysis and teeth cleaning.  He's in great health and ready for his forever home.

Hershey

HERSHEY - Adoption Pending

Hershey is a unique looking Schnauzer/Poodle mix ("Schnoodle") who's only about 1-1/2 years old and weighs 16 pounds. He was dumped at the shelter by his owner and poor Hershey went into a panic and was scared to death. Because he was scared/confused, he didn't show well when adopters visited the shelter, and after a while his time ran out. Fortunately, we found him before it was too late.

Although it took him a little time to trust again, Hershey is now very affectionate and playful with people he knows. He loves to cuddle with his foster mom and dad, and gets along great with their dogs. Hershey is still initially intimidated by strangers, and will bark at them at first, but once he is properly introduced and knows they are not a threat, he settles down. He just needs some more socialization.  Hershey bonds quickly and is ready to be your new best friend.
