Well rounded Roscoe

Roscoe doesn’t seem to care which yard he plays in as long as there is another dog to play with. He is such a well behaved dog, even when the other dogs with him misbehave. He is a sweet dog who would make a great companion for the right person!

Harley finds home sweet home!

Harley went to an amazing family today! Harley has so many opportunities and adventures in store for him. We are excited for him to have the opportunity to learn and grow with two wonderful and loving people. Harley bonded almost instantly and seemed to know that these were his people. He may have gotten a rough start in life but he is about to learn just how wonderful having a place to call home sweet home truly is!  

Hailey and Bella await their turn to go for a walk with Patrick

Hailey and Bella wait for the opportunity to go on an adventure with Patrick!  

Harley and Hailey practice their recalls

Harley is getting ready to go to his new home some time this week. He has been working hard on his recalls. Hailey has been tagging along and doing some practicing as well. Hailey rarely leaves our side and recalls instantly. Harley is more independent and takes the time to explore and sniff but has been excellent about coming back when he is called. Both are great dogs and will be loyal and faithful companions. They both went with us on a wood run with the four wheeler and were well behaved and obedient. These are awesome dogs who deserve great homes!

Cold days and lots of fun make for tired pups!

Harley meets an awesome family!

Harley met two people today looking for dog to share their lives with. He was very excited and did his best to contain himself and be the good dog that he truly is! Harley checked them out and very clearly decided he could be their dog. The family liked him a lot too. They drove a long distance to see him and wanted to take the time to make sure they were making the right decision. Harley said he has all the patience in the world if it means he is going to finally have a home of his own!

TV time with Harley, Hailey and Patrick

Winding down before bed with a little TV time…. Harley and Hailey relax and enjoy people time!   

Harley goofing around

Harley or as he is affectionately known here… Bat Dog…. Goofing around, having fun, and making everyone laugh. Harley is a comedian and a clown. He can brighten days with his antics and light heart. He is just plain fun to have around. He craves attention and love and is never far from the action. He is gentle and kind and is just the right mixture of loyal, independent and all around good guy.

Hailey, the picture of sweetness and so much more….

Hailey is a little princess. She is loving, loyal and constantly at your side. She is overflowing with love to give, mild mannered and such a sweet dog. She is a cuddler and a follower. She is a very people oriented and wants nothing more than to spend quality time with her people. Hailey will be a great lifetime companion and is looking for a home that will cherish her and love her. She is the definition of man’s best friend.    

Hailey and Reese get microchips!

Hailey and Reese were microchipped bright and early this morning! They were both outstanding and took it all in stride. These chips are a lifeline for dogs as if they were ever lost, abandoned or in a shelter again, the chips will be their voice. We are firm believers in taking the time and money to microchip dogs. It is traumatic enough to be abandoned once in a lifetime. Twice would be unthinkable. Please microchip your pets if you haven’t already done so!

Hailey’s back!

Sometimes when you lose a pet, it takes longer to grieve and find a way to deal with the tremendous loss this brings then we allow. Hailey’s exuberance and happy go lucky nature intended to bring smiles and happiness to hearts served as a sad reminder of the wonderful dog they had lost. So Hailey came back to share her happiness and love with us! We are overjoyed to see her again and have time to spend with her before she finds her forever home.

Roscoe meets some new friends

We introduced Roscoe to Bella and Molly today. Roscoe was bouncing through snow banks having the time of his life. Bella was more interested in hunting for a good bone and finding a quiet spot to chew on it and Molly was busy bouncing after Roscoe. He is pretty low key with the other dogs. Zach has introduced him to the ferrets and with supervision he does well. He tends to want to play too rough with them and needs to be reminded to slow down. Cats though seem to be out of his realm of comprehension and the first thought that comes to  his mind is chase. He really loves people and being included in social activities. He is a sweet boy who will keep searching until he finds the perfect forever home.

Quiet, peaceful day with tons of loving dogs

The cold kept everyone inside today. So it was a quiet day snuggling on couches with sweet, loving warm dogs. Harley and Roscoe worked on their cues and had some fun. Reese started learning her sit cue today. She is more interested in quiet time hanging out with her people than learning silly people cues. Reese’s ambitions are to find a quiet, chaos free home with plenty of one on one people time. She loves to sit nearby and keep you company. Bella would like a chaos free home with a tv and a yard to chase cool scents around in. Roscoe wants people to play with and have fun adventures with. He loves adventure and activity. Harley wants the best of both worlds. He wants a fun and active household during the day and someone to snuggle up to at night. One thing is sure these dogs deserve good loving homes and will wait patiently until the perfect home is found.

Hailey checks in

Hailey gaining weight and enjoying her toy in her foster home. She is loving and beautiful! 

Reese goes for her spay

Reese made her way to the Animal Doctors today for her spay. After some tests and investigation by the great vets there it was determined that she was already spayed. We had suspected that but we needed confirmation in order to adopt her to a loving home. She has some weight to gain and a lot of love to give. She is  a medium energy dog who prefers quiet walks and a chaos free environment. She is stunning and has the personality to match!

Dogs available for adoption

Here is a brief up date on the dogs that are currently available for adoption.

 

Bella is a plott hound mix. She is spayed, micro chipped, utd on Rabies, distemper and parvo. She is heartworm and Lyme tested negative. She is dewormed and on Advantix. She is a great dog to have around with younger dogs. She is a natural born mother hen and keeps the peace in the younger more rowdy dogs. She was adopted out but was then returned. She loves to go for walks. She was used briefly for hunting and we are told she did well. She loves sleeping on the couch as well as hanging out in her crate. She is low maintenance and would make a great companion. Bella does well with children. No cats for Bella.

Roscoe is a pit bull. He is sweet, loving, and chockfull of personality. He has charmed his way out of a gassing shelter and was fostered in a loving home until he was forced to move because of a breed ban. He is neutered, micro chipped, utd on Rabies, distemper and parvo. He is heartworm tested negative. Roscoe is dewormed and on Advantix.  He is currently working on his sit and down cues. He is doing very well and is a very good student. He is good with children but is still very playful and energetic. Roscoe is good around caged animals but likes to chase running cats. He has been introduced to three members of the pack here and gets along well with them. He is appropriate in his play with the dogs he has been introduced to here. Both homes he has been in have had teenage boys and he does well hanging with them.

Harley is a lab/shepherd mix. He came to us extremely underweight after being rescued from a kill shelter. He is neutered, utd on rabies, distemper and parvo, micro chipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed, and on Advantix. He is one of the most loving, kind, and people oriented dogs you will meet. He is happy to hang out with people and socialize. He is learning his sit and down cues and is a quick learner. He gets along with all of the dogs in our pack and is appropriate. He has filled out nicely and is a very handsome young man. Harley, Bella and Reese are roommates and get along well.

Reese is a husky mix. She is quiet and reserved. She is due to be spayed on Monday, January 5th. She will be available after she has had time to heal. Reese is very regal and has the appearance of an arctic wolf. She loves to be in the vicinity of people and will sit or lie down near by. She does not like to hang out outside or to be left outside alone. Reese is up to date on shots, heartworm/Lyme tested negative, dewormed and on Advantix. She will be micro chipped before she is adopted. This is one beautiful dog.

Hailey is in a preadoptive home and is not currently available.

Our adoption fees generally run $150 for each dog. The adoption fees cover vet costs,spaying or neutering,  bail,  micro chipping, medication and food. The dogs are socialized, housebroken and trained in our home. The costs associated with the dogs generally exceeds the adoption fee and those costs are picked up by donations made by caring individuals. These dogs are worth every penny that is invested in them. We are looking for adopters who will continue to provide the same quality care and love in their new homes. For every dog we adopt out, another dog is pulled from a kill shelter. We also provide additional support and training to adopters.

If you are interested in any of these dogs please contact us.

Roscoe and Harley perfect their sit and down cues

Roscoe and Harley have been working hard to perfect their sit and down cues. They are progressing wonderfully and have a great foundation in clicker training for whoever the lucky souls are that adopt these two gems. Both are eager to please and happy to work. They will spend another day or two working on these cues and then will be moving forward in their education.
