Ace

Hi… my name is Ace,

Adopted 3-5-17

I was rescued by a volunteer who saw me chasing an SUV on Duval Mine Road near the TALGV entrance. But these days, I don’t have to run after friends because kind people come to me. I go for walks with volunteers—they like the way I sit to get ready and walk well on the leash, and they compliment me on being a very handsome 4-year-old Lab mix male, mainly black with white touches, looking good now (although a bit thin at 55 pounds on arrival). Shy at first, I’m a fast learner and soon warm to kindness. So won’t you please come for a visit? You might just find that I’m the loyal, loving companion you want in your life, and I I’ll do my best to make you glad I’m yours.

Hi… my name is Donny,

Adopted 2-10-17

My puppy sister, Marie, and I were relinquished—which we’ve learned is a big word for “given up.” But please don’t feel sad for us because we are two happy puppies! We have our own suite here (they call it a crate, but when you’re still little and have all this space with a bed and room service—it feels like a luxury suite). And we play all day! Plus, people stop by to ooh and aah, telling us how cute we are. I’m just 2 months old, 6-1/2 pounds and growing, a Staffie/Aussie mix male with a handsome brindle coat and sweet face, and if you think I’m adorable, well, the feeling could be mutual! How about we meet today and see if we should be spending all of our tomorrows happily together!

Hi… my name is Orion,

Adopted 4-22-18

Orion has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate.

“Give this dog a chance. I promise you’ll love him!” My foster folks said that about me after we spent a week together. I’m a Deaf dog, so they had fun learning my sign language, and we all fell in love with each other except their other dog, that didn’t want me around. So, Foster Mom left messages for you about me, and here’s part of what she wrote: “This dog is amazing! Housetrained…good in a crate…loves other dogs and cats…very good at reading others to figure out how they want to play…at home he didn’t bark once…good when he slept with us—no messes, no fussing…he’s a very smart boy.” I’m a 3-year-old male, yearning to give you my whole happy heart. So what do you say—will you give me a chance?

Hi… my name is Tommy,

Adopted 2-6-17

Guess where I was found? Behind a vet clinic, lost and scrounging for food. That was a lucky location and, honestly, it was time my luck changed. X-rays at that clinic indicated a fractured pelvis in my past (back when I was a really little puppy), probably from being hit by a car. Fortunately, it healed in a useable manner. Some people may notice a limp, but I get along just fine. I hope you’ll let me show you because then maybe we could play and that’s one of my favorite things. I’m a very loving, sweet Heeler mix male, 8 months old, brown, and 35 pounds. Cars still scare me, but being near people makes me very happy. Take me home and I’ll do my best to make you very happy, too!

Hi… my name is Lilly Mae,

Adopted 2-19-17

People often comment on my beauty—my gentle eyes, sweet face, soft brown and white coat, and well-proportioned body (50 pounds)—and those compliments are kind, but we know that real beauty is more than fur-deep. I want you to know about my temperament—my sweet, loving nature—and how much I love to be with people. The woman who found and cared for me for two months (but couldn’t keep me), said I was housebroken and good with other dogs. She said I was friendly, and I think you’ll agree. I’m just 2 years old, a young adult female who minds beautifully on a leash, and still loves to have fun, too. Let’s take a walk and discover how good we’ll be together, side by side, down all the happy trails ahead.

Hi… my name is Cupcake (aka Penne),

Adopted 9-24-17

I was originally adopted with another puppy, Icing, and we had lots of fun together. Our family said I loved to snuggle, quickly understood commands to “sit” and “come,” but as a lively pup, I still had lots more to learn. So that’s what I’ve been doing here—training for good manners, learning to walk well on a leash and generally how to please my person. Of note, although I lived with children in the past, these days I’m best with adults only. Now 1-year-old, I’m an energetic and playful male who’d be thrilled to be the new addition to your active life. I’m about 49 pounds, white with tan speckles and spots, and a sweet, handsome face. I’m ready for a lifetime of fun and companionship (including snuggle time, too)—how about you?

Hi… my name is Icing (aka Vicki),

Adopted 10-22-17

I was originally adopted with another puppy, Cupcake, and we had lots of fun. Our family said I loved to snuggle, knew “sit” and “come,” and had an adorable habit of sleeping under blankets when cold. I also had things to learn, which is what I’ve been doing here—training for good manners, learning to walk well on a leash and generally how to please my person. Of note, although I lived with children in the past, these days I’m best with adults only. At 1+ years old, I’m energetic, enjoy the active life, and friends say I’m beautiful—a fawn and white Lab mix female, about 50 pounds, who could melt your heart with the hopeful look in my eyes. Will you be the one who sees what an awesome companion I’ll be?
