Precious
The picture of Precious does not do her justice. She had just arrived and was in need of a major grooming. Precious is about 5 years old and has lived her entire life outside, tied to a clothesline. The tips of her ears have been eaten away by flies. If anyone ever deserved to live in a house with air conditioning, it is this sweetie. Sadly, Precious arrived heartworm positive and is being treated. We are desperately trying to find her a foster home. If you are interested, please submit your application asap.

Sparkey
PERFORMANCE HOME NEEDED! If you are looking for a sheltie to do Obedience or Agility, look no further. Sparkey is the one for you. Sparkey was surrendered to us when he continued to fight with their little Chihuahua. We were told this was the only dog he did not get along with, therefore we would prefer not to place him with a small dog. Sparkey is 6 years old (DOB 01/08) and needs to go to a home where someone has the time to work with him, because he is looking for a job. He loves toys and will retrieve forever, but his favorite toy is his Hippity Hop (see picture).

 

Bunny
Bunny is a 4 year old female who is extremely affectionate, loves to play fetch and is housetrained. Bunny's favorite thing to do is to go for long walks. She is very friendly to people and will make someone a wonderful companion! Due to Bunny being deaf and only having one eye, she has not done well in homes with other dogs. She really needs a home where she is the one and only Top Dog. Could you be that home?

 

Lilly
Lilly was surrendered to us by someone who supposedly found her. Although we think they dumped their own dog on us, we did make attempts to find her supposed owner. Of course, no one came forward. Lilly is about 5-6 years old and would be a great dog in a quieter home as she still needs to learn some socialication skills. She gets along great with dogs and cats and will make someone a good companion. Is Lilly the one for your family?

 

Ceasar
Someone contacted the humane society when Ceasar was seen tied outside with no shelter. When the humane society arrived, they ordered the owners to buy him a dog house. When they refused, Ceasar was taken to the shelter as a cruelty case. He is a spunky 8 year old who would love to be the only dog in the house. Could you be the home he is looking for?

 

Turbo
Turbo is approximately 1, maybe pushing 2 years old, and very high energy. He was left in an overnight deposit in a KY shelter. If anyone is looking for a good obedience or agility dog, look no further. Turbo is the handsome boy for you.

 

Braxton
Braxton was found strolling down the road. When all attempts failed to find his owners, he was brought to our rescue. He is about 8 years old and is just looking for someone to love him and give him the forever home he deserves. If you are looking for a new shadow, Braxton may be the one for you.

 

Pooka and Tuffy
Pooka (9 year old sable female) and Tuffy (10 year old tri male) were surrendered to our rescue by their owners. The reasons we were told they no longer wanted where just excuses. These two are angels who definitely want to stay together the rest of their lives. If you are interest in two sweethearts, Tuffy and Pooka are for you.

 

Lacy
Lacy arrived on New Years Eve and was our last dog to be rescued in 2007. She was born on 02/22/03 and has had very little socialization. Therefore, she would be best adopted into a home with a very confident dog to teach her how to be a dog. For obvious reasons, she must be adopted to a fenced yard home only. Could you be the family she needs?

 

Holly
Holly was living alone in a subdivision and being fed by all the neighbors. When no one could get close to her, the humane society was called and she was trapped by them. Someone thought she was a sheltie, so when her owners never claimed her from the kill shelter, they adopted her and brought her to our rescue. Sadly, Holly will be stuck in our rescue for a long time because people that come here are looking for a purebred sheltie, not a mix. If you are looking for a really sweet 5-6 year old mix breed, Holly is the girl for you. She gets along with dogs and cats and is just looking for someone to love. Could you be that person?

 

Rose
Rose was a stray to a kill shelter. She arrived into our rescue with pnuemonia and had to be hospitalized for days. She is recuperating nicely and is getting the bounce back into her steps. Our vets are having a hard time guessing her age, because she arrived underweight, but her teeth are immaculate. Surprisingly, there is no tartar on her teeth, which makes us all think she recently had a dental. For now, they are guessing she is somewhere between 6-10 years old. Rose is a sweetheart who is desperately look for a family to love. Is your family the one?

Rose has totally recovered and is just waiting for a forever home! She is much prettier than her picture.

 

Touser
Touser was a stray found by a good samaritan. When all attends failed to find his owner, we took him into our rescue. He is a wonderful boy, definite Aussie mix, who would prefer to be adopted to a home with older children. The bad thing about him is he hates cats. Is Touser the boy for you?

 

Ringo
Ringo was an owner surrender when they no longer wanted him due to moving. He is a smaller sheltie who is only 4 years old (DOB 6/2/03). He gets along with other dogs and cats, but would not mind being the only one to get all your love. He does well with children, but we do not recommend him with small toddlers.

 

Riley
When Riley's owner lost her job, and then her home, he became homeless too. Riley is only three years old and has never really been socialized so he really needs a home with a confident dog who will teach him how to be a dog. Because of the insecurities, he really needs a fence yard. Riley is a sweetheart who would be a wonder dog for someone to foster. It is so rewarding to see a dog like this blossoming into your best friend. Are you willing to take on this challenge?

 

Hailey
Hailey is 2-3 years old and came from a Amish puppy mill. Needless to say, she was scared to death of everything. She has been in a foster home who has taken her to obedience classes and she has really blossomed. Our foster Mom says Hailey is ready to be adopted now and highly suggest that she be adopted with another confident dog. Right now she is living with three shelties. Could you be the one that Hailey has been waiting for?

Being fostered in Dayton, Ohio

 

Quincy
Quincy is one of several dogs taken in a cruelty & neglect case; the others were all Collies. Although he looks like a senior, he is not. He is only 5-6 years old. Our Vet says his condition is the perfect example of starvation. Quincy is looking for a quieter home where he can finally get the TLC he so deserves. Do you have room for him on your couch?
