August 2026. Ingrid is a 3.5 year old mini schnauzer. She is white! She is currently being evaluated and is heartwork positive. She is undergoing treatment and not available yet.
August 2026. Savannah is a black brindle Cairn Terrier. She is at least 13 years old and had been in two different rescues after being released from a commercial breeder. She recently lost her mom, who was what we call a "foster failure" and adopted her a number of years ago. We believe this should be her last stop in life. She's a bit of a grumpy old lady, growling and trying to use her mouth when she's not getting her way. Her life has been turned upside down. But we are also getting older and grumpier, so we understand.
May 2025. The Three Amigos came to us in May 2025. They were found covered in ticks and abandoned in the woods. Their initial vetting has been completed. We have DNA tested them, and Steve, Chevy, and Martin are brothers - mainly a mix of Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, and Bichon Frise. They really would enjoy either a house with a young dog that likes to run and play, or the best option would be that they were adopted together. But we know that is asking a lot. These boys sleep quietly in their crates at night and are learning to accept human attention, settling in for a short time on your lap. They have LOTS of ENERGY and need a securely fenced area to run and chase and play. We have not walked them on a leash, so a fenced yard is a must. They are waiting for their Person to see them and give them a home.
Update - STEVE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! Chevy and Martin are still looking for their own homes or to be adopted together.
UPDATE 8/30/26 Roberta is still with us. Her eyes are a bit cloudier, but she is still a sweetheart and knows our routines. She will be 14 years old in November. We are guessing she will spend her final days with us since there has been little interest in her over the years. Such a shame that she has never had her own family to love her. But she is loved and cared for here in her foster home. UPDATE 6/30/24 We can't understand why this sweet girl is still here. If it's because of her age (12 years old), NONE of us are guaranteed a tomorrow, and Roberta deserves a home of her own. She potties in our fenced yard, keeps her crate dry, is quiet and wants to please. She's had no leash training so needs a fenced yard or someone patient willing to work on leash training with her.She enjoys the company of other dogs of all sizes. UPDATE 6-13-22 This girl is still with us in foster care, now 10 1/2 years old. Is there no one looking for a little Shih Tzu to love? 8/22/22 Roberta is a 9 year old gold and white Shih Tzu weighing about 11 pounds. She came to us a year ago, and she likes to think she's in charge. This girlie loves to be out in the back fenced yard, monitoring the other dogs and the neighborhood. She likes to find a sunny spot to catch some sun, then moves to a cool spot to enjoy the breeze. She's still working on her house training and relaxing around people. Roberta gets along with the other dogs here and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She needs her own family that can help her learn all the secrets of being a family member in a home.
UPDATE - 10/19/23 Roberta is still here. Please don't overlook her because of her age. She's spunky and loves to boss the boys around here. She really would like a home of her own!
PARIS
UPDATE 8/30/26 Paris is 4 years old and is still very dependant on her brother Antoine for showing her that things are safe in a home. They do need to stay together, and she should still be considered a flight risk. We continue to keep vetting up to date on all our dogs in our care.
UPDATE 7-24 This is Paris, who is a 2 year old black Poodle weighing about 10#. This girl came from a huge breeding operation and is scared of the world. She pees and poops on you when you pick her up. You have to let her run into her crate to be able to get hold of her. She's scared of the world and is a flight risk who is really not ready to go to a home. We are putting her on the page so the public knows how many dogs we are supporting right now. Her brother is Antoine, the black brindle Poodle. She is up to date on all her vetting.
UPDATE 8/30/26 Antoine is four years old now. He had a seizure when we were having our a/c worked on this summer. We assume it was the stress of moving his crate to a different area of our home - just normal routine can be a big change for a dog that saw nothing new for the first 2 years of his life until coming to rescue. His sister Paris is very dependent on his companionship. These two should be considered an adoptive pair.
UPDATE 7-24 Antoine is Paris' brother, so he is also 2 years old and what we are calling a Black Brindle. He weighs about 12#. He likes to come up and bump the back of your shin but will run afterwards. We can sometimes pick him up without cornering him, but he is still very scared of the world like his sister. He is definitely a flight risk and needs more work on socializing before becoming available for adoption. He is up to date on all his vetting.
August, 2026. Artie is still here and trying to trust people. He prefers my husband over me handling him. But, he is still very much scared of the world. He would need a securely fenced yard as no leash training has been possible for this scared boy, but he can be carried out to the fenced back yard to do his business, and he comes in an will zoom into his crate for safety. May 2024. Artie is a 6 year old white Mini Poodle. He is a former breeder dog that is still scared of the world. He is doing well following the routine here in rescue and looking for guidance from his pal Windsor. For now, he needs to stay here with Windsor and continue to relax and learn it's OK living in a home with people who want to handle you, groom you, and take you to the vet's office for annual updates.
Windsor is a former breeder dog that had little attention except to be handled to put in with a female for breeding. Then back to his hutch where he lived. He is learning there is no need to fear people, but prefers to be in his crate that he keeps clean. He's friendly with other dogs here, especially if they are a poodle. He has had no leash training so needs a fenced yard. He is a "work in progress", and if you feel like you are ready to help a breeder dog learn how to be a family member, he would be a good candidate. He is 10 years old.
