Zodiac puppy #4 is out the door!

Libra is a crazy little girl that had little to no interest in her compared to her siblings, which is CRAZY because of how sweet and adorable all 11 of them are! She was the last remaining puppy with no application pending on her until yesterday. Today, that completely changed and she is now in her forever home as foster-to-adopt until she receives her final puppy shot and is spayed!

Congratulations, Little Libby! We will see you soon - live your best life, crazy little girl! 🐶💕

🐾 HAPPY TAILS 🐾

Týr came to us from a unique and very unfortunate situation back in August 2025. A couple of weeks ago, one of our dog volunteers ended up falling in love with him and adopted him! We are thrilled to report that Týr is doing amazing with his new dad and feline sibling! Týr is a special case that did not “show” well at the shelter at all, due to his reaction to strangers. Once he knew and trusts you, he is the sweetest boy! So happy he is doing so well in his new home! 🐶❤️

Buddy came to us back in November/December 2025 from another ND rescue after his owner passed away. He was found in the home with his deceased owner and 2 other dogs. After this traumatic experience, Buddy continued being his happy-go-lucky self! While he’s not fond of dogs his size or bigger, he loves dogs smaller than him and every human he meets! Today, Buddy finally found his forever home - he was READY to get the heck out of the shelter!

Congratulations, Buddy Boy! We will miss your goofiness - love your best life, sweet boy! 🐶❤️

Zodiac puppy #3 went to his new home this evening - the first of the two boys!

Mr. Leo had A LOT of interest in him, and are you surprised? Him and his sister, Virgo, are the most unique-looking out of the litter! Leo is the actual baby of the litter - he cries and cries for attention until his caretakers pick him up for a cuddle. As sad as it is to see him leave us, we are so happy to know that he will be thrilled to have a couple of teenagers to chase around and make them carry him everywhere!

Congratulations, little Leo! We will see you again soon, little guy - live your best life with your new loving family! 🐶❤️

Our 2nd Zodiac puppy is out the door - this time it’s the runt’s turn, Ta**us!

All of the puppy’s from this litter will be hard ones for us to say “see you later” to because of all of the extra time and effort put in to caring for them (bottle feeding a litter of 12 is NO joke 😅), but in the best possible way!

Little Ta**us is the runt of the litter, and one we often had to pay extra attention to when feeding and weighing her every day to make sure she was getting enough - some of her siblings used to be twice the size of her! Her new family originally applied for Zadie, the mother of the Zodiac litter, but there was application put in just before theirs. Ta**us had lots of visits from her new family, and tonight, she finally was able to go home with them!

Congratulations, little Tauri! We will see you again soon - live your best life with your new loving family, sweet girl! 🐶💕

The first of the Zodiac puppies, Sagittarius, has left the building!

Very bittersweet moment - we cared very carefully for these little ones and bottle fed them for several days while their momma wasn’t producing milk - we even had 2 staff stay the night at the shelter to make sure the babies were fed every 2-3 hours! Even when momma was producing milk, she wasn’t making enough for all of them, so we had to supplement by bottle feeding still until she was. And then, because there were so many of them, we had to often supervise to make sure all pups were getting enough nursing time. These babies know nothing but love from us at the shelter and their momma, and we are thrilled to start sending them home to as equally as loving families! So happy and proud of these little ones - we can’t wait to see them again in the near future to see how they’ve grown!

Congratulations, baby Sag (now Lainey)! We will see you soon, but in the meantime, live your best life with your new family that already loves you so much! 🐶💕
