Estephen is gorgeous, chill, and totally loves people.  Extremely affectionate and loving...he has those sad loving eyes that look right into your soul.

He knows how to sit.  Take treats gently.  Always recommend meet and greets when other dogs are in the home to ensure they are okay with one another as well.  He is approximately 4 years of age and weighs 53 lbs - his foster from Texas goes on and on about him being the best dog ever.

Look at this face. Look at these eyes. This is Pearl. She is supposedly 5 yr old.  She is a product of human depravity.  She weighs 35 lbs and spent her whole life with a 30lb plus chain and padlock around her neck, living outside in the dust and rain and scorching heat. She was bred repeatedly and her pups used to make money or worse. She was never given medical care or heartworm prevention, leading to her ultimately having heartworm infection. She has now been cured of the heartworm infection and is now negative.  The weight of the chain around her neck for so many years has caused her to be bow legged in the front and we think she may be suffering from arthritis based on her gait. Or perhaps some sort of osteoporosis from losing too much calcium to breeding so many puppies. Her ears were cropped with scissors and her eyes show the horror of living such a life. They seem to reflect a sadness that never goes away. She is now spayed after she was confiscated from her owners. She is vaccinated.  She is housetrained now! She still shivers in fear even though she willingly accepts pets and chin rubs. She also allows you to pick her up without any fuss. Grilled chicken is one of her favorite things in life at the rescue now and a soft place to lay down on...but what we have not been able give her is a loving home or new owner that will show her not all humans are evil. We need someone to step up for her.  Someone willing to give her daily joint supplements along with hugs and kisses.  Please think about meeting this sweet little girl. She is learning what it means to be off a chain. She is so happy to go outside in the sunshine. Help her learn what it means to be in a home filled with compassion and love, not hate and abuse. She was in a home for several months during her heartworm treatment and just recently she got into a scuffle with the other male dog. No one was home and no one knows who started it but they were fighting over a item they considered a chew toy. Because of this incident she had to leave the home and come back to our rescue. We are recommending a home with no other dogs because of this incident. She does not act aggressive towards dogs passing by or next to her in the kennel. She just may have resource guarding issues with other dogs, certainly not people.

Meet Cliff a sweet young 1-2 yr old male pittie. He is about 60 lbs . He is very loving and can be playful. He seems to be non reactive to the dogs he has met here, both male and female. No aggression shown. He is also very quiet in his crate and seems crate trained. We believe he may be housetrained. He was briefly in a home for a day with a young family and they said he wanted to play too much with the young one year old baby so we are recommending older children in a family that adopts him. Or one without children. But again he showed no aggression to the child just wanted to play. He is being neutered this week. We are testing him for heartworm and he is already microchipped and vaccinated. Can be cat tested upon request.  If interested please text or call Casey at 570-441-0083 to set up a meet and greet.
