Skipper came to us out of the shelter with a sever gimp in his back leg. After x-rays we discovered he had an old fracture near the femoral head which would be hard to fix but his body was already beginning to heal in an acceptable position. It was decided that we would wait 6weeks and look again to see if Skipper would be able to keep his leg or not. Skipper’s a tough little cookie and with pain medication and proper exercise and diet his leg has healed well and while he will always have a bit [...]

  Rio is quite the spectacular girl! She’s high energy and LOVES the water. Her favorite game is to chase the hose. Her foster mom reports that every time she goes outside she’ll bark at the hose so you’ll play the game. Rio has a strong personality and will need a breed savvy home. She gets along well with other dogs but is too pushy with cats so we advise she not go to a home with kitties. She would do well with kids too as long as they were up for her energy level. Rio would do best in a [...]

He will make someone a great riding, hiking, or just hanging out companion. He loves nothing better than to be with his people [...]

Charlotte is a sweet and quiet lady waiting for that special someone that she can trust. Charlotte is very shy and takes her time at getting to know you. Charlotte has only connected to women and appears to be fearful of men. She is a one-women dog and would do best with a single female owner, a female household, or a couple where the man would not get put out by her lack of interest. She would not do well in a home with children. She is excellent with other dogs and ignores all other animals. C [...]

Fay came to us at the beginning of the year with advanced glaucoma. Her eyes were far too gone to save so we had them removed and Fay is now finally living a life without pain. We believe Fay has never had much in life, she may have been crated most of her life before we got her. She doesn’t know many of the natural things that most dogs know whether they can see or not, like how to use her nose, how to navigate her surroundings or any desire for adventure. Her foster mom has rehabilitated sever [...]
