Loki Bell is 2-3 years old and about 50 lbs. He loves toys and can play fetch for hours. He is always ready for adventure and will make the best running partner. He has done well other dogs but meet and greet is always recommended.

Coco was surrendered at no fault of her own. She is crate and potty trained. She is quite the beauty who is shy & quiet around people initially.  Once comfortable, she loves to lay her head on your neck & rest on you during quiet times - a cuddle bug! She is unsure about other dogs because she was the only princess in the household.  She is very smart and is happiest when working with specific tasks.  She knows sit, down, shake, and high 5. Meet & greet with dogs and kids recommended. She will be a loyal companion to her family!

Diamond is a 2 year old spayed female. We believe her to be a mix of blue Doberman and perhaps Lab or GSD. She is so unique it is hard to guess. As beautiful as she is it did not stop her previous owners from tying her to a light pole and leaving her there to stave. She is very attentive and attention seeking with humans. She is good sitting for treats and wait patiently if you ask her to wait for a treat. She is a very smart girl and has had no accidents in her crate so she is crate trained. And she was briefly in a house and they said she is housetrained as well. She would do best as an only pet we believe. She liked to chase cats. She seems to be dog selective and better with males than females. We have not tested her yet with smaller dogs. She is very good with adults and kids . She is also heartworm positive so she is a month into the treatment almost. She had no symptoms of the infection so we believe it to be early stages of infection.  She is almost done with the month of antibiotics required, then 30 days later she gets one injection. Another month later she will receive her last 2 injections one day apart. Please come and meet this little sweet babe!

Apple is a 58 lb 7-8 yr old American Staffordshire mix that has one blind eye from a stab wound. She was protecting her owner and later ended up abandoned at the animal shelter by the same owner. She is almost finished with her heartworm treatment. We cover that for cost and do it at the rescue. She is such a sweet dog! Has gotten along with other dogs but doesn't like them in her face. So probably a meet and greet would be recommended for anyone with another dog or she would be great as an only pet because she loves to give lovin to people! Please think about this sweet girl she deserves a happy ending after the hell she has been through.

Flash is a handsome, sweet, adorable boy.  He is dog friendly. He is very smart and knows many commands already.  Flash was with a foster family with baby, but not older children. Recommend a meet a greet for that reason.. He will make someone a wonderful companion!

This tiny chunk of a love muffin is called Asher! He is 35 lbs about 3 yrs old and quite the character! Beautiful subtle brindle coat and beautiful striking eyes. Timid for about the first 10 min then he gets silly...come meet Asher at our rescue! He is good with other dogs given a proper introduction. Has not been tested yet with cats but can be tested with cats upon request. If interested please text 570-441-0083 Casey.

Kay is truly a sweetheart. Has lived her life outside in a backyard on a chain being bred over and over again. The owners didn't see any problem with that. Even being in heat around males of hers from two previous litters. Although this history of Kay's is heartbreaking she still has a hunger for human love and attention. She is some sort of mix with longer soft fur compared to an American Staffordshire but you can see come of her characteristics also resemble that breed. She is good on leash and doesn't go potty in her crate! So housetraining is already accomplished or would be super easy. She seems to be ok with other dogs but once in a while will give one low growl when she first meets a new dog. We call this a gentle correction as she is letting the other dogs know that she does not want to be mounted anymore or dominated. She seems great with kids and male /female humans. We are hoping that after all she has been through we can find he a safe comfy home for this 3 year old. If someone has cats please let us know if you would like her cat tested.

Fiona is looking for her home. We think it will take time probly....She is 2 years old, spayed, heartworm negative and about 45 pounds.  Fiona is a little fearful of men, but once they give her a hamburger and a little time she warms up. She has been fearful of very young kids. She did not test well with cats . She's a little nervous here at the rescue and would love a nice warm place to call home. We could see her doing well with a single woman perhaps or a couple w a quiet home. She's extremely sweet once she trusts you. Text Casey if you'd like to meet Fiona 570-441-0083!

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 is 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 gate. 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. Grilled chicken is one of her favorite things in life now and a soft place to lay down on...but what we can't 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. 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 know 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 not 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.
