Sprite DOB 5/31/2016 Female Pitt/Boxer Mix. She is shy at first so she would be best in a home with no children. She is friendly and playful. She is only around 45lbs and still considers herself to be a lap puppy. She is a joy to have around. She loves to play with most other active dogs but would be too much for other dogs that are less active.
Sprite's Sponsor is Barry Brazier
Bailey - DOB- 10/6/2011 Australian Shepherd Mix
Bailey is a little nervous when he first meets you but when he has a little time to get to know you, especially if you bring really good treats… He loves his people, truly he does. He would do best in a home with no children under the age of 18.
He had a home but his love was not enough to keep his owner from leaving him behind when she moved.
Now he goes to doggie daycare everyday and waits for someone to pick him up at night to take him home.
Bailey's Sponsor is Jase Kennett
Clayton DOB 10/31/2010 Male Boxer Mix
Clayton was the only survivor of a litter of puppies who were rescued from Union County Animal Control along with their mommy. Clayton has a neurological issue that prevents him from running like a normal dog. He is also partially blind in one eye. He is ok with most dogs, (no tiny or hyper-active dogs or cats) but is not a player, he has a wonderful nature with people even with this disability. Because of this limited vision, he would do best with a home without small children and a single level home.. (no steps) He will get to live a long happy life as his issue will not affect his years on this earth, just his ability to run like a normal dog. Please give this amazing survivor a place to call forever.
Cpt Crunch DOB 1/26/2015 is a handsome male Pitt mix. He is very active and a rough player so he would be best suited as an only dog, no cats and no small children.
Titan DOB 4/6/2016 male Pitt/Boxer Mix.
Hi, I'm Titan! I was approx born in April of 2016 and the sweetest Boxer/Pitt Mix ever! I am an active boy and LOVE other dogs, but also respect dog's and cat's space if they do not want to be bothered. I still can't figure out why that cat told me to get back; who wouldn't want lovin's from me?! Cats are so weird! My favorite thing to do is be told I'm the goodest sweetest boy, to make your family happy, give you loads of kisses, play with toys, and get scratches (especially the sides of my neck,) until I sprawl out on the floor for a nap. Sometimes I get so excited that my teeth will get you because I forget I'm not suppose to do that; but as soon as you tell me "no," and sometimes before you even say it, I remember and feel so bad that I give you the most pitiful puppy dog eyes. Someone who can be asurtive and not a push-over makes me happiest. Although I LOVE all the volunteers here, I've been told I'm a big scardy cat when strangers come in my house to pet me before I'm comfortable with them. If you give me a couple days to realize that you just want to give me lovin's, you will forever be the center of my life! Because of this, a home with adults and older children would be best for me. I also love the bathtub, lounging in the kiddie pool, and trying to catch bubbles and the water from the hose. The people here think it's so funny when I go to the play yard and carry my own leash around. You carry my leash, I'm not sure why they start laughing when I do it?! Oh! Can I brag for a second? I've learned "sit," "down," "wait," "give me kisses," "no kisses," "get in your crate," "leave it," "paw," and "let's go outside" (this one is my favorite!) I do like it here, but I want a family of my own to love. Will you let me show you how good of a boy I can be?
Harrison DOB - 1/6/2015 American Staffordshire Terrier
Harrison was confiscated by police in a horrible abuse case and was later transferred to Hope for Rehabilitation. Because of his previous life, Harrison is afraid of teenage and adult males. In time though, he has bonded with male Volunteers who took time to allow him to slowly gain his trust. He does get along great with most dogs but will need to be the only dog in the home as he does not want to share his persons, he is well mannered and loves to snuggle. He is house trained and sweet but no cats please.
Harrison's Sponsor is Lisa Finn Woulfe
Snookie DOB: 12/6/2013, Shepherd/Pittie mix female. She is friendly but does become protective of her home and will need a strong pack leader. She would do best with families with no children. She loves to play ball and get belly rubs but does not like to share her toys with dogs or humans. She is not aggressive with toys but is nippy when trying to take it away.. so we play "Trade-up" with great success.
She is house trained and well mannered in the home. She has made friends at the sanctuary but a family who is only wanting one dog in the home would be best for her so she does not have to share. She listens well to commands and is very smart.
Snookie's Sponsor is Lisa Finn Woulfe
Nadia DOB 9/17/2014 Terrier mix female. She was rescued with her 2 tiny babies from animal control. Nadia is shy but friendly, enjoys playing and car rides. She does not like most dogs, but she does love playing with HUGE dogs.. She is a pretty girl who is house trained and well mannered in the home.
Mork DOB 10/28/2013 Pit Bull mix male. Someone chopped his ears off to make him look tough but trust us he is a love bug. He is large sized and active so he would not do well with small children. He is very sweet, takes a treat gently but still has a lot of puppy in him and needs structure and leadership.
Mork is a goofy, sweet young boy
Mork's Sponsor is Isaac Benrubi
Jilly Beans DOB 10/4/2014 Pit Bull Terrier mix female. She is friendly and house trained. She is highly active and gets along with most dogs and loves all people including kids. She is knee high and about 55lbs. Jilly was found during the winter with her paws frozen to the pavement and rescued. She is a really pretty girl with soulful eyes and would be great as a hiking or running partner.
Jilly Beans's Sponsor is Jeanne Kennedy
Patsy DOB 6/10/2011 Black Mouth Mountain Cur female. She is friendly with people but would do best as an only dog and no small children. She is a smart girl who is always willing to learn new things and whoever is lucky enough to take her home is gonna have a really good dog friend in Patsy.
Patsy's Sponsor is Susan Atkinson
Mandy DOB 11/16/2011 PitBull Terrier female who is a pretty silver brown color. She is not good with other dogs, so she would need a home with no other pets and we think she was seriously mistreated as she is very submissive with people like she has been beaten. She is gentle with humans and enjoys walks through the park. She is house trained, rides well in the car, likes belly rubs and walks well on her leash. Mandy is a very sweet loving dog who has obviously not been treated like a part of a family though her actions will tell you in a heart beat that she truly wants to have a chance at being treated as a loving member of a family. If you are considering a dog please consider this sweet mistreated girl. She will pay you back ten fold for your act of kindness.
Mandy's Sponsor is Jessica Erhart
Lucky Girl DOB 7/21/2010 Female - ,Mountain Cur Mix was tossed out of a truck on a dead end street, she wasn't eating when she was rescued and we learned she was terribly sick with Parvo. She went through several days at the hospital where she made a full recovery and is now hoping to find a nicer family than the one's that threw her out of that truck. Lucky is active, playful, and VERY smart. She does not do well with other dogs so she would be best in a home as the only pet.
Lucky Girl's Sponsor is Susan Ramey
Jenny DOB 4/6/2012 was saved on her last day of life from Animal Control. She was picked up as a stray running the streets nearly starved in the dead of winter. We think she is a pitbull mix, maybe Beagle and Pitbull. She is very loving and gentle with people but does not like other dogs. All she wants is to snuggle up to you and get a belly rub. She would need a home with no other pets. She is really sweet. She weighs about 40 pounds now and is just at the knee high.
Jenny's Sponsor is Brenda Brazier
Bella Blue DOB 5/17/2014 Blue Brindle Pit Bull mix female. Sweet as pie and ready for a belly rub. Would not do well with cats! She is over the top friendly with all people. A little too much for other dogs as she is sort of rough in play but she is learning her manners. She is house trained and about 45 lbs
Bella Blue's Sponsor is Melissa Mills
Mazda's Sponsor is Roy and Sandra Edwards
Mazda DOB 6/5/2013. We think he is a Puggle mix. He is very active and loves to run Zoom Zooms around the yard, thus his name. He fetches, is house trained and enjoys car rides for the adventure of it all but would do best with a home with no small children. Mazda weighs 15 lbs and is full grown. He smiles a lot! Mazda is a cutie.
