COCO AVAILABLE

April 22, 2025

COCO is a 50 pound, 1.5 year-old delight, with a tri-colored, easy care smooth coat. She can be a little bit shy when she first meets someone new, but once she gets to know you, she is a sweet and affectionate cuddle bug. She likes to start her day with an early breakfast and a survey of the yard until her human sibling leaves for school. Then she hangs with her mom for a bit, waiting to go for a walk to a nearby field on leash, heeling nicely, of course. COCO especially loves her next morning ritual: walking and/or running off-leash on the ATV trail adjacent to the field.

SHELBY AVAILABLE

April 22, 2025

Meet our SHELBY, a very special girl who has come a long way from her beginnings in rescue. She is ready to find her special person(s) who will provide the home and love she dreams of and certainly deserves, a home at which she can thrive and blossom. SHELBY is coming up on her 3rd birthday (May). She has a medium length silky red and white coat and weighs about 55 lbs. Her golden eyes seem to look into your very soul searching for love. SHELBY is looking for her person, or perhaps a couple, who has experience with dogs who are a bit reserved around new people. She is a bit slow to warm up, but once that light goes on she will lick your hands as if to say, “Oh, you’re not so bad.” When meeting new people SHELBY must be allowed to warm up to them at her own pace. Some light encouragement doesn’t hurt; take proper steps and it does not take her long to get curious and stay close-by.

FORREST – ADOPTION PENDING

March 12, 2025

**ADOPTION PENDING** FORREST is a delightful but shy Border collie mix with a soft, curly, medium length black and white coat. His front feet have short white socks while his back feet are both tipped in white. He is approximately 10 months of age and 33 pounds. FORREST loves mealtime and appreciates treats for being a good boy! He also loves toys of all kinds; bones, ropes, stuffed animals, squeakers, etc. You’ll want to keep plenty around as he has been known to steal a shoe or two (no damage, just a collector). If FORREST isn’t entertaining himself with a toy he can likely be found taking a snooze on the couch.

PERKINS AVAILABLE

September 18, 2024

Hi, my name is Perkins – just call me Perk - and I am about 7 1/2 years young. My Mom thinks I am a Border collie mixed with some type of guardian dog because I watch over my family and pack mates. I have notified them TWICE of rattlesnakes in our yard, barking loudly while keeping my pack mates at a safe distance away. Mom says I am a hero dog, as we have little kids and lots of dogs in our yard that need protection from dangers like that.

SKITTLES AVAILABLE

October 21, 2023

SKITTLES was a great mom to her 10, yes 10, awesome Sweets and Treats puppies, and now she is ready for her forever home. Once her babies were adopted SKIT really began to shine. She has come a long way from the pancaking, pregnant, and shy gal to the protective, correcting mom, to a friendly, outgoing gal we foster parents love. She gets along well with people and other dogs. She’s been fine around the cats, but with her husky bloodlines we’d still caution against a home with cats. SKITTLES is about 2 1/2years of age, 52 lbs., with a thick medium coat.
