~Whiskey~
Whiskey came to us at just 4 weeks old with her mom and 6 siblings. Born in August 2024, she is just shy of 2 years old now.
Whiskey LOVES to play ball more than anything in the world. She is very sweet, gentle, and listens well. Whiskey does well on a leash, listens great, and wants to stay with her person. Whiskey is friendly with dogs, likes to play, and is also great with new people.
Whiskey would do great in a home with a yard where she can play fetch. She loves to jump and catch the ball mid-air; she'd be amazing at agility. She would make the best hiking partner, and I am sure she will be a strong swimmer, especially if there is a stick or ball to play with.

~Roscoe~
Roscoe was found tied to a tree in the woods of rural Vermont. Thankfully, a caring individual took him in until a forever home could be found. He is currently living with a couple who already have two dogs, so it's a lot for them to handle. They took him to the vet for neutering and vaccinations, where he was identified as an Australian Cattle Dog, estimated to be around 2-4 years old.
Roscoe loves to play, is great on a leash, and has been adapting to living with the other dogs. He has shown some food aggression and alpha behavior, which is common and may decrease after neutering.
Those beautiful eyes and cute ears make it hard to believe anyone could abandon him!

Urgent Rehoming Needs
~Daisy~
Meet Daisy! This beautiful little girl just turned one year old and is part American Bulldog, Rottweiler. and Bully. Beautiful colors and about 37lbs.
Currently living with a wonderful foster who is dedicated to connecting her with home that fits her personality and needs.
She's good with other dogs and lived in another home with an older service dog that she got along great with. She also lived with cats and was curious and excited by them but the cats weren't into it.
Daisy knows and listens to basic commands, she does OK on a leash. With regular walks, play and using a (more comfortable) harness she could be the perfect walking/running partner. She's still just a babe and does great with training.

for forever homes
~Cooper~
Adoption Pending
Cooper is a few months over 1 year old. He has been with a year as of April 2026. All of his siblings were adopted, as well as his mama. Read below about Black Dog Syndrome. Why are black dogs always looked over and the last to be adopted?
Cooper is the greatest dog! He listens SO well, and has been very easy to train as he is so quick to learn. He doesn't jump, he stands up next to you and just holds on to you, like a hug and a cuddle.
He LOVES to cuddle on the couch.
He is good on a leash and gets along well with other dogs, although he has some Alpha-dog tendencies because he has been in our space the longest, so when new dogs come in, he has to show them who's boss.
Cooper would be a great companion for any family. He would be great with kids; he would be great for hiking, swimming, or just playing in the yard or living room. He is so gentle and just wants a family of his own.
Cooper is neutered and up to date on vaccines. His fur is so shiny and soft, he's such a handsome boy!
Did you know there's such a thing as Black Dog Syndrome (BDS)? Black dogs are 50% more likely to stay in shelters longer than other-colored dogs. We have found this to be true. Our sweetest boy Baxter (see in success stories) was with us the longest of all our rescues, 1.5 years, despite being really cute, really friendly, and very well behaved. He just had to wait for the most special family to find him. We suppose it's due to the difficulty of taking good pictures of black dogs, and people look for uniquely colored or marked dogs. In the meantime, they look over other dogs that could be a better fit for their family than the special-looking one. Huskies are a perfect example: puppies are so fluffy and cute, then adopters realize how much attention, exercise, interaction, and mental stimulation they need, and then back to the shelter they go. ​
