Many of you remember this specific rescue born in Wisconsin many years back ~ Kovu ~ who passed recently due to his battle with Cancer. Kovu was Janelle's beloved doggie and over the years they formed a bond that made his untimely end very hard to move on from. Janelle is one of our fearless leaders with White Paws! We have created this Tshirt Fundraiser to honor her pup as a tribute. We know many of you all had met and fell in love with Kovu over the years as well.. this design is for you all to enjoy!

Hi everyone!

I want to introduce myself to you.

My rescue name is Frankie, however my foster mom calls me Bella. I came to WI from TX on 7/31/26. The vet here in WI has estimated my age to be around 7 months and says I weigh 29.2 pounds on 8/8/26.

I am working on my house training and doing pretty darn good, but I am learning every day and doing my best with patience, consistency, and encouragement. I also get excited when I meet people and may jump up to say hello, but I am working hard on remembering my manners. I just want to make sure you don’t miss little old me down here!

People….I love people! I am a happy, playful girl who especially loves stuffed toys with squeakers inside. If you hear a squeak, there is a good chance I am having the best time!

I also done well with cats. My foster family has 3 female cats, and I have done well with them. Sometimes I need a little redirection because I am curious and playful, but I do not try to harm them. With the right guidance, I can continue learning how to be a respectful friend to the cats in my home.

I am looking for a forever family who will love me, help me keep learning, and give me plenty of playtime, snuggles, and squeaky toys. I am going to make a great family pet and am nothing short of amazing! If you are looking for a sweet, fun-loving puppy to grow with your family, I just might be your girl!

Hi, I'm Alyana, but you can call me Aly! I'm a sweet 4 year old shepherd mix, on the petite side at under 50 lbs. I absolutely love being around people for pets, snuggles, or going on adventures! I don't mind doggie friends as long as they give me space, but I would be fine on my own, too (more pets for me). I have a high prey drive, so I shouldn't be in a home with cats or small animals.
I walk well on a leash with minor corrections needed. I'm so excited to go everywhere with you, I will jump right into the car if you open the door! I love to play fetch and need space to run around. I am skittish about loud noises, so a fenced-in yard would be best.
I eat in my crate and am fine staying in there as long as I have a toy to keep me company. I will sleep in my crate but would rather sleep with you! I sleep through the night and haven't had a single accident in the house.
If you're looking to add an adventurous and loving girl to your home, apply for me, Aly!

Meet Matilda! 🐾

Matilda is a sweet, six-month-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 30 pounds. She’s a playful little girl who loves car rides, romping with her furry foster brothers, and catching bugs—she’s quite the little exterminator! 🪰🐜

She’s also a fan of kitties…although the kitties may not be quite as impressed with her enthusiasm! 😹

Matilda can be a little shy when meeting new people, so she does best with slow, gentle introductions. She’s doing great in her kennel and working hard on potty training.

This adorable girl is learning more about the world every day and would love a patient, loving family to help her grow into her very best self. ❤️

DNA has been posted in the comments.

Sometimes our fosters will do a DNA for the dog they have and its always fun to see what the results are. We truly never know what a dog breed unless the DNA is done. We do sometimes give a best guess to what we THINK they are mixed with. Alex foster did the test and got the results back. So before we post the results we want to know what you think he is a mix of? Later tonight we will post in the comments what his DNA make up is.

Our beautiful girl needs our help with getting a surgery she needs. Lynsey was found in Texas on the streets paralyzed where she had no movement in her back end. Surprisingly over time with some medical help and the will to walk Lynsey started to regain the feeling back into her legs and slowly started walking again. She is a young girl and although we have no idea what happened to her to cause this her back end bone wise was a complete mess. We dont know if its genetic that she just formed wrong or if maybe she was hit by a car at some point and healed wrong but this girls personality and will is what kept her going. Lynsey is a young girl but due to her bones and back end problems we decided to keep her as a forever foster because we had no idea what the future would bring for her and how do we adopt her out not being able to tell a adopter what her life might look like. Would she need more surgeries? Would she all of a sudden stop being able to walk again? We just didnt know so we felt it was best to keep her in foster and ensure she got the best care and the care she needed when needed.

Lynsey has since became a therapy dog with her foster mom and visits the local school to provide love and smiles to all the kids. They LOVE when she shows up and always get so excited to see her and she loves seeing them. Lynsey loves to play with her furry siblings and doesnt let anything slow her down. Alittle over a week ago her foster noticed she was very restless, didnt want to sit or lay down. She gave her some pain meds and she was able to relax and sleep but the next day she was sitting crooked, not wanting to play, standing odd just not being her normal self. We made a apt with the specialist to get her in ASAP and see what was going on.

Lynsey had her apt yesterday and the vet says the femur is trying to bridge with the ball thats fused to her pelvis. It is recommended to do surgery and take that ball out essentially doing a FHO and physical therapy after. We have set Lynsey up for surgery 9/18 so we can get her feeling better and onto recovery.

We have attached the estimate from the vet that would be performing the surgery and the foster will be driving down from upper MI to make this happen. Rescue is tuff as unexpected things happen but we have to do what's best for the dog and give them the best care we can. We understand times are tuff right now for alot of people and we understand not everyone can donate to her care but if you have a few dollars to spare we truly appreciate it as it all really does add up to help. Even just sharing the post is a huge help as you never know who might see it and be alittle to donate even $5. We love our supporters as we cant do this work and help these dogs without all of you.

We will update as we go with Lynsey but we cant wait to get her feeling better and back to playing and visiting her school kids.

Thor V: located Waukesha
350$ fee

If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal sidekick with the heart of a teddy bear and the soul of a sitcom character, Thor might just be your perfect match. This calm, d***y sweetheart is happiest when he’s getting treats—all the treats—and will lean his whole body weight into you to make sure you understand that cuddling is his love language.

🌟 Personality & Quirks

Thor is a house‑trained, neutered gentleman with a PhD in Being Adorable. He has two speeds in life:

Couch Potato Mode (activated automatically at bedtime—he prefers the couch, thank you very much), and

Professional Walker Mode, where he struts in a perfect heel like he’s auditioning for a doggy parade (while in his E collar).

But don’t let his confident walk fool you—Thor gets nervous when left alone. He’s a sensitive boy who prefers to spend the day with his favorite humans. If left solo, he might express his feelings by redecorating your home… creatively. He also gets nauseous in the car (we’ve tried meds—no luck), so road trips aren’t really his jam.

🦴 Lifestyle Notes

Thor takes his snacks very seriously. Because he can get protective of his toys and bones, he enjoys his special treats and kibble in his cozy crate. Otherwise, you’ll find him happily roaming the house like he owns the place.

🎓 Training Superstar

Thor graduated from both basic and advanced training—with honors in sit, stay, and being a lovable do**us. His future family even gets free refresher training for life. Not a bad deal for a handsome guy like him.

He does, however, react to other dogs with hair-up, barky dramatics, so walks are best enjoyed without canine meet-and-greets. He would thrive as the only pet or maybe alongside a very submissive dog who respects his main‑character energy.

🏡 Thor’s Dream Home

Thor is looking for someone who wants a true companion—a best buddy to spend most of the day with. His ideal home includes:

A fenced-in yard for safe sniffing adventures

A single-pet household (or possibly one very chill dog)

No cats (he’s never met one, and we’re not testing fate)

No babies or toddlers, but teens get two paws up

A family who won’t crate him during the day

Lots of time, love, routine, and training—Thor blossoms with attention

💛 The Heart of Thor

He just wants someone who will understand his sensitive side, laugh at his goofy antics, and enjoy a life spent mostly together—preferably in the great outdoors, up north, or anywhere adventures can be taken at walking speed.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion and your ideal day includes long walks, quiet moments, and a dog who will love you endlessly… Thor is ready to be your guy. Thor is E-Collar trained as well!

Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in adopting Zoey.

She is spayed and up to date on all her vet records and shots as of 3 weeks ago.

Zoey is stunning 6 year old sable German Shepherd dog.

Lots of energy but is perfectly content to be let out every morning then back in at night.

She loves to play chuck it and loves car rides.

She is great with kids and all other animals. She has met a cow recently for the first time and barked at it but then was easily called away. Zoey is a very sweet and submissive girl but still has the instinct to protect. She is very much the GSD personality.

She would do well in several scenarios but mostly a family that will give her the time and attention she needs. She is a lover of wide open spaces not small confined locked up areas. Farm or hiking family would be ideal for Zoey.

The reason we have to rehome her is because we are about to take up living on the road in a confined space for months at a time.
Zoey has shown us she does not adapt well to tight spaces🥺 The best thing we can do is find her a home better suited to her needs.

A rehoming fee will apply.
