ADOPT Bill! OR SHARE! SHARE! SHARE!

This 1 year old dude is ready to stop his search for his forever family and wiggle his way into your family!

Bill would THRIVE with a playful Canine companion. This guy thrives with other dogs. 🐕

It’s super cute when you’re standing at a door and he sits down, looks up, with a “hey, you’re taking too long so I’ll sit to remind you to open the door now”!

He is showing just how adventurous he can be.

He took a trip down to columbus for the day for sight seeing. He did fantastic in the car, greeted all he stumbled upon with warmth and had true thankfulness as he explored the hike.

Bill would fit in many homes, but ones that are especially ready to find their best friend. The one that makes you periodically stop throughout the day and go “awh, he’s cute”.

Adopt bill today!

🖤 Meet Jack! Your new best friend might be on borrowed time. 🖤

Jack is a handsome Rottweiler looking for a foster or forever home by November 1st! ⏰

This boy has so much going for him! He keeps his kennel clean, is well behaved, and doesn’t jump on people. He takes treats gently, isn’t leash reactive toward other dogs and shares his space and resources well with his sister.

Jack has not shown any aggression and he deserves the chance to get out of the kennel and into a home where he can finally settle in and be someone’s dog.

He has got the looks, the manners and so much potential. Now he just needs someone willing to open their home to him. ❤️

🚨 URGENT: Jack needs a foster or adopter by November 1st!

Please share his post. You never know who might be looking for a dog just like him.

FOSTER: https://tr.ee/rt0c9mzZVx

ADOPT: https://tr.ee/rBOWpp2Kv4

Jack and Jill went up the hill… and now they urgently need somewhere to crash! 🏡

They’ve had a RUFF start, but these two are ready to rock…and Rott…in a home of their own.

Foster or forever, they’re hoping their next stop comes with soft beds, belly rubs, and someone who appreciates a good two for one cuddle deal. 🖤🤎

Jack and Jill lives were spared when we stepped in and got them to safety. They lived in a dirty kennel full time and were not properly cared for. However despite that they are nothing but sweethearts.

Can’t decide which dog to bring home? Congratulations! They’ve eliminated that problem for you. It’s a package deal, with twice the wiggles and absolutely no respect for your personal space.

🚨Jack and Jill URGENTLY need a foster or adopter who can take BOTH. 🚨

If you’ve got room in your home and heart for this dynamic duo, please reach out! Can’t take them in? Share their post…. you could be the missing link between these two Rotties and their happily ever after.

Let’s get Jack and Jill over this hill and onto somebody’s couch! 🐾

🐾❤️ NETWORKING SAVES LIVES IN DOG RESCUE! ❤️🐾

Ted’s happy ending is the perfect reminder of just how important networking is in rescue! 🏡🐶

Our wonderful volunteer, Julianne, showed us that the connections we make can truly change a dog’s life. Through networking, she was able to connect Ted with a previous adopter who had adopted one of her foster puppies (Archie❤️) in the past! And just like that, a familiar connection turned into another beautiful opportunity for a deserving dog. 💕🐾

This is what rescue is all about! It’s not just about finding homes for the dogs in our care today. It’s about building relationships, staying connected with adopters, sharing our dogs’ stories, and working together to make the right matches.

✨ One conversation can lead to one connection. One connection can lead to one adoption. And one adoption changes a life forever.

To our fellow rescuers, fosters, volunteers, and adopters: Keep sharing, keep talking about your rescue dogs, and keep networking! You never know who might be the perfect match for the dog who is still waiting.

A huge THANK YOU to Julianne for going above and beyond for these dogs and helping Ted find his forever home! We are so grateful for volunteers who understand that rescue takes a village. ❤️

Happy tails, Ted! May your next chapter be filled with love, happiness, and a lifetime of belly rubs! 🐶🏡💖

Meet Charlie Murphy—Charlie for short! This delightful young pup is a heartwarming mix of friendly, funny, and loyal, ready to bring endless joy into your life. Approximately 2 years young and weighing around 35 - 45 pounds, Charlie is the epitome of a happy-go-lucky dog who loves people, toys, treats, and adventures. Charlie's journey began when he wandered onto a country road in New Hope and chose to follow a kind person home. Since then, he's shown everyone what a wonderful, affectionate good boy he is. Whether he's playfully chasing his toys, savoring a slice of watermelon, or simply enjoying time with his people, Charlie approaches life with a cheerful heart and a personality that lights up the room. This athletic pup walks beautifully on a leash, is always eager to please, and takes car rides like a pro, making him the perfect companion for any outing. Charlie is great with children and other dogs, and he's even shown he can get along with house cats. His love for kisses will melt your heart, and his playful spirit will keep you entertained for hours. Charlie is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he's ready for his next adventure—whether that's a foster home, a rescue placement, or, best of all, a loving forever family. Charlie chose to be loved. Now he just needs a family who will choose him. Could that family be yours?

🎉🐾 SEVEN PUPPIES. SEVEN FOREVER HOMES. ONE INCREDIBLE FOSTER! 🐾🎉

Our hearts are bursting with happiness! ❤️ All 7 of our precious puppies have officially been adopted into 7 different loving homes! 🏡🐶💕

Behind every successful adoption is someone who opens their heart and home, and we were blessed with an extraordinary volunteer who fostered these babies for TWO WHOLE MONTHS! 🥹❤️

For two months, she loved them, cared for them, helped them grow, and prepared them for the next chapter of their lives. She didn’t just give them a place to stay — she gave them a safe beginning, endless love, and the foundation for a beautiful future.

And when it was time for them to leave the nest, she went above and beyond to make sure each puppy found an exceptional family, personally driving them to their new homes and sending them off with goody bags filled with starter essentials, food, and toys. 🧸🦴💝

THAT is what rescue looks like. It’s love, dedication, sacrifice, and showing up for animals who need us.

To our amazing volunteer, thank you for being the kind of person every rescue dreams of having. You made a difference in seven little lives that will last a lifetime. You helped turn seven vulnerable puppies into seven beloved family members. ❤️

And to the seven families who opened their hearts and homes — congratulations! May your lives be filled with puppy kisses, happy tails, laughter, and unconditional love. 🐾💗
