Meet sweet Millie!

Millie is enjoying the quiet ebb and flow of the Cushing household. She is learning to co-habitate with dogs and cats, and is getting the hang of structure and boundaries.

Age & Size: At 5 years old and 16 lbs, she is a little thing with dainty white stocking paws and a sweet face.
House Training & Manners: She is completely house trained with zero accidents in the house.
Obedience & Leash Skills: She knows sit, down, shake, high 5, leave it, come, and walk, and she does great on a leash.

Millie is looking to land in another quiet household that will provide her with clear boundaries and accommodate some of her quirks—she is pen-trained and needs an adopter who is home more than away. In return, she will give you limitless love, tongue kisses, and snuggles!

Ready to add a little spark (and a lot of love) to your cozy season? Meet Tully! 🍂🐾

Looking for a fun-loving companion to keep you entertained and warm all autumn long? Tully is a ~1-year-old, 44 lb bundle of joy, smarts, and hilarious antics! With his striking heterochromia eyes and ears for days, he’s guaranteed to turn heads everywhere he goes.

The Highlights:
Brainy & Eager to Please: Highly treat-motivated! He knows sit, shake, lay down, sit back up, and has great recall. (Pro tip: tell him to sit and he’ll lead you right to the treat jar!)
A+ House Manners: Crate trained and leash trained!
Playful Energy: Medium-to-high energy—he loves having a fenced yard to zoom around in and would thrive with a fun canine playmate to burn off steam.
Charming Goofball: Mischievous in the most lovable way. Keeps life interesting with his cute quirks (though keeping him mentally stimulated keeps him out of shoe-borrowing or garden re-designing mode!).

Tully is ready to find his forever family to snuggle up with after an active day. Could that be you? 🍁

Meet Cinna! 🐾✨

Don’t let those long, adorable leggy paws fool you—Cinna is a gentle, tender-hearted 5-month-old puppy looking for a place to truly belong!

This sweet Shepherd mix came to us severely underweight, but she is slowly and steadily gaining her strength back with lots of small, nutritious meals and endless TLC. At 23 lbs, she’s still on the mend and building up her puppy physique, but what she lacks in weight, she more than makes up for in pure affection.
Cinna isn't overly motivated by food—she’s motivated by LOVE! Her absolute favorite thing in the world is simply being close to her human. If you’re busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, don’t be surprised if she gently places her front paws on you to check in and request a kiss. She is a total sweetheart who just wants to feel loved and safe.

A few fun facts about Cinna:
🧸 Toy Enthusiast: She loves going "shopping" in the toy bin, picking out her favorite toy, and prancing proudly around the room with it!
🦴 Independent Relaxer: She is happy to lie down nicely and work on a chew bone all on her own.
🏠 Crate Training: She settles in her crate after just a few minutes as she learns it’s her cozy, safe space.
🐕 Dog-Friendly: She has shown sweet interest in other dogs and approaches them gently and a little shyly.
☀️Sun bathing enthusiast : She loves to Sun bathe!

Cinna is going to be the most loyal, loving shadow for whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. Ready to give this beautiful, resilient pup the forever home she deserves?

🚨 FOSTERS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY 🚨

They are scared, overwhelmed, and looking for safety. We don’t have all of their backstory yet, but we know they urgently need a temporary home:
🐾 A mama dog with her 2 tiny puppies
🐾 A sweet black-and-white puppy needing reassurance
🐾 Several matted, frightened dogs ready for a fresh start and a warm bath

Fostering costs nothing, but it means everything to a dog in need. We provide all the food, medical care, and supplies—you provide the safe landing pad.

Will you step up and change a life today?

Meet Harly, the 9-year-old gentle giant who refuses to accept that she’s a senior Great Dane! 🐾✨

Harly loves everyone—dogs, cats, and humans alike. She’s housebroken, sweet, and convinced she’s a lap dog. Personal space is optional; affection is required!

Harly’s Favorites:
📺 Telenovelas
🍿 Snacks & walks
🛋️ Lap-cuddles
💨 The occasional elderly zoomies!

Harly does have arthritis, so she’s looking for a loving home that appreciates soft beds, slower walks, and senior care while letting her live her best life. She’s safe and happy in her foster home, but she’s ready for her forever retirement spot.
In return, she’ll give you pure joy, gentle companionship, and unconditional love.

❤️ Ready to welcome this sweet girl? Apply to adopt Harly today! Herorescue.org/adopt
