Spotlight Adoption
~Roscoe~
This sweet boy, Roscoe, was found in the saddest way. He was found tied to a tree in the woods in rural Vermont. Luckily, his finder was a caring person and was able to take him home and care for him until a forever home could be found for Roscoe.
The couple already has 2 dogs, so it's a lot for them to take on another.
They brought him to the vet to be neutered and to be up to date on all his vaccines. The Vet thinks he is an Australian Cattle Dog and 2 - 4 years old.
He loves to play and is great on a leash. He's been living with the other two dogs. At times, he has shown some food aggression or tries to be the alpha. Common behaviors. Alpha behavior typically calms down a bit months after being neutered.
Looks at those beautiful eyes, and such cute ears! How could anyone abandon him like that?
We don't know how long he was in the woods, unable to fend for himself, so if his forever family has patience and can show him he is safe and allowed to be a happy doggy again, he will thrive.
This poor boy has been through a lot in his short life and deserves a chance to know that not all humans are evil, that not all will abandon him, and that not all will hurt him.
This is a rehoming situation, not a typical adoption through our rescue. We are helping his rescuers find Roscoe a loving forever home. Our typical adoption fee
will not apply here. Details can be discussed with his current family.
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.

Dogs saved from euthanasia waiting
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 called Black Dog Syndrome (BDS)? Black dogs are 50% more likely to stay in shelters longer over 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 the unique-looking/colored dogs. In the meantime, looking over other dogs that could be a better fit for their family than the special-looking one. Huskies are a perfect example, puppies 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.
