Our Adoptable Pets

Skeeter
Beagle
Available
Blue and Skeeter are wonderful eager to please velcro dogs. They would love nothing more than to spend the day curled up next to you or out exploring and being active. They have a lot of energy but are just as happy being couch potatoes. They are 7 year old Beagle terrier mixes who were found dumped together as puppies. Blue has been known to be too smart for his brother's own good and is good at distracting him to get the toy or person he wants. Skeeter is just happy to be around his brother and a person who will give him the most attention possible. They are very eager to please and love to learn, if it makes their people happy. Skeeter sometimes needs a bit of extra time to figure out new things, but he'll watch his brother and figure it out. They both need a bit of help learning how to be a dog again and that people come back. They are great boys and if someone is willing to help them learn they'll pick it up quick. They haven't been socialized in 3 years but previously went to doggy daycare. They needed a close eye but we're progressing at the time. They'd need some time before becoming another dogs friend. They haven't met any cats or young children before. They have the instincts of a hunting dog, usually happily retrieving live animals. They've met pet rats previously and gotten a bit too excited for their own good. They've been better with smaller dogs than larger dogs but living with other types of small animals would probably not be the best. Blue needs some help overcoming some resource guarding behavior but is a wonderful dog once he can be reassured there will always be enough for him from now on. These boys are full of love and life and would love nothing more than to have a good pawrent or family to share it with.

Anders
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Anders is a young pup with a heart of gold. He’s playful and can entertain himself with his toys! He’s a smart cookie too! He is very eager to please and responds quickly to training and correction. He prefers love over treats. Anders LOVES hanging out in the yard, snuggling in bed, being loved on, other dogs, going for walks, being with his people, and tennis balls! In the house and out in the yard, he comes when called. He’ll play with you, another dog, or just by himself! When corrected, Anders will stop. He currently lives with 2 resident dogs and a cat and seems to like them all. Because of his robust personality and all-out play style, no small children for Anders. Older teens okay.

Blue Beard
Pit Bull Mix
Available
BlueBeard is 6-7 years old. He enjoys getting out to explore and sniff, but settles in easily at home. No drama, no chaos, just a genuinely good boy who is happy to be here with us.
He’s about 40 lbs (medium-sized), sleeps in his kennel at night or when we’re out, and loves to curl up nearby while you relax or work. BlueBeard was a favorite with shelter staff and volunteers—he really is that special kind of fur baby!
BlueBeard is house trained and doesn't get up on the furniture, even though we've told him he can. Such a polite young man! He'll instead curl up on a rug or a comfy blanket near his people. He's very gentle with treats, enjoys kongs, stuffed toys or a gentle game of tug. He also knows a few commands like "sit" and "wait".
If you are interested in Bluebeard please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

She knows basic commands, loves human affection, especially belly rubs and loves to play with her toys! She walks nicely on a leash, and takes her treats gently. Doula does need to be an "only dog". She's waiting to meet you!

Raphael
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Raphael, a sweet dog who has made remarkable progress with his trainer, is now ready to find his forever home. He loves all treats and loves to play fetch. When he first arrived, he had been through so much and struggled to trust others, so he couldn’t be around dogs. However, he is now happy to meet people and could even go on pack walks with other dogs. Despite his rough start, Raphael is a good boy.
If you would like to adopt Raphael, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Callum
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Callum is a lover boy! He loves to be by your side and will follow you around the house. He melts into you while sitting close. He loves going for walks and is great in the car. He loves getting his zoomies out and runs laps around the backyard. He is super athletic and his build is on the small side. He gets compliments wherever he goes because he has beautiful eyes. When we picked him up from the shelter he was extremely head-shy and was scared to walk through doorways. He has come along way. He is happy once he knows he is safe. Callum would do best with someone who is home a lot and would prefer to be an only dog. Has some separation anxiety. Would do wonderful in an agility class. He can jump (bounce) high. He has a high prey drive.
If you are interested in Callum please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Radar
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Radar is just a year old. This happy boy is all soft and gentle. He prefers close hugs over sitting (though don’t worry, he will sit if you ask.) Out in the yard, he’s a shade lover who likes to stay close to his person. Radar thrives on affection, is super polite with treats, He’s had great leash tests with other dogs, and he’s just plain friendly with everyone he meets.
If you are interested in Radar please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Banderita
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Banderita is a super playful and very happy dog. There is not a mean bone in her body. She gets along well with my other rescue dog Ellie. They are constantly playing so Banderita would probably annoy an older dog that isn’t as into playing. She is about 90% house trained. Walks ok on the leash but she is just over a year old so she is still learning.
If you are interested in Banderita please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Lucy
Pit Bull
Available
Affectionate,silly, and a bit skiddish. Lucy has tons of love to give and once she gets comfortable is a total snuggle buddy. Don't let the cuddly side fool you because she's also always down for some fetch, with a weakness for tennis balls. She will need a slow introduction to other dogs and should probably live in a cat free home. She wants to be everybody's friend and will show that with a toothy smile.
If you are interested in Lucy please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Everest
Pit Bull
Available
Everest is a sweet, affectionate pup who loves being close to his favorite people — he’ll happily be your shadow and sidekick and often rests his head in your hands for the ultimate snuggle. He’s steadily building confidence every day and is curious about the world around him, always ready to explore at his own pace.
Everest has plenty of puppy energy and loves to hop around in the backyard like a little bunny. He enjoys his walks, meeting other pups, and playing once he settles in. He’s also very well house-trained and understands “no,” so he balances fun with good manners.
Everest is especially fond of calm moments and gentle interaction. He thrives in a loving, patient home where he can feel safe and supported while he grows braver and more adventurous. He enjoys quiet affection, cozy laps, and bonding with someone who will give him the time he needs to shine.
Everest would do best in a home where he can be the center of attention or with other dogs in the family to continue building confidence, since he’s great with his canine friends. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will fill your heart with warmth and loyalty, Everest just might be your perfect match!

Sally Sue
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Sally Sue is still coming out of her shell but, so far, she is a cuddly bundle of energy. She loves to follow you everywhere and nap on your lap ALL day. She's just learning how to play with her foster brother and is beginning to show interest in toys. She is very food-motivated and her "sit" command is coming along nicely. She craves your love and will reward you with thousands of kisses. She's very eager to please! She will need time to decompress for her true nature to come out but, so far, she's the bestest foster baby ever!
If you are interested in Sally Sue please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Hops
Jack Russell Terrier Mix
Available
Hops is a male mix breed (possibly Jack Russell Terrier) boy about 2 years old who loves to play fetch and tug of war. Hops is full of energy and friendly with dogs and people. Although Hops is small in stature, he is pretty strong. Hops would fit in with a family who doesn’t mind taking him on walks and keeping him entertained.
If you are interested in Hops please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt

Corbin
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Corbin has some puppy energy, but also has a calm relaxing side. Treat motivated. Thinks he's a lap puppy, big ol goofball. Always has a smile on his face! Loves to play tug of war and fetch. Getting better at giving the ball back when you say drop it. If he gets to excited while playing, tell him easy and he eases up. He's very loving and always wants attention. Very smart and quick learner. Still working on the jumping up on people, but he's getting better with trying to hold his excitement. He is absolutely amazing with kids. He has barely barked or acted overly excited with other dogs unless he sees they are friendly, then he wants to play. He does not like hoses!

Mila
Pit Bull Terrier
Available
Mila is an absolute ball of love. She may not have had the best start in life, but you would never know it from her joyful spirit. Mila is a beautiful tricolor “shorty” girl, around 3–4 years old and approximately 58 pounds (even though she sometimes looks bigger in photos!). She is incredibly affectionate, happy, and simply grateful for her second chance at life.
Her favorite thing in the world is being around her people. Whether she’s lounging nearby, riding shotgun in the car or rolling around in the grass, Mila is happiest just being part of the family. She’s an excellent sidekick! She truly has the sweetest soul.
Mila is housetrained and sleeps in her crate with the door open. She happily goes into her crate on her own and sometimes chooses to relax there, but she does not like the crate door being closed — likely because she spent too much time confined before being rescued.
She’s very easygoing and low-maintenance overall. Mila doesn’t need tons of exercise and is content with yard time and snuggles. She does like walks but doesn’t need them. She walks nicely on a harness, rides great in the car, does well at the vet, and is fantastic for baths. She has also been the perfect houseguest — no chewing, no getting into things, no begging — she mostly just wants love and companionship.
Mila likes most other dogs and so far seems to be more of a co-exister than an active playmate. She would likely do best with a tolerant dog companion, as she doesn’t always read other dogs’ social cues perfectly yet. She does chase squirrels in the yard, so she is probably not a good fit for cats, though she has not been officially cat-tested.
• Housetrained
• Crate trained (highly prefers crate door open)
• Kid friendly
• Dog friendly with most dogs
• Easygoing temperament
• Great in the car
• Excellent for baths and vet visits
• Likely not cat friendly due to chasing squirrels
If you are interested in Mila please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.dogsaredeservingrescue.com/adopt...
