Benny

Description:  REQUIREMENTSFenceAnother dog   Hi, I’m Benny! I’m a sweet, happy pup with a big heart and an even bigger love for bones—seriously, bones are my jam. Chewy ones, squeaky ones, crunchy ones... I’m not picky. I’m looking for my furever home, and one thing that would make it perfect? Another friendly dog! I love having a playmate to wrestle with, nap next to, and follow around like a shadow. I do best when I’ve got a buddy to learn from and share the fun with. If you’ve got room in your heart (and your toy basket) for a lovable pup like me, let’s make it official.     Click for more information... Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (short coat)

Chance

Description: Chance came to us after sitting/laying on a concrete kennel floor with a "breeder" who didn't know what to do with a puppy that couldn't use his back legs :(  We were contacted and although we typically do not take large dogs we felt the need to help.We had him with 2 different vets both saying he would never walk again, even our medical director did not hold out any hope.  We just knew we had to try so the Director started researching and working on his back legs and then we started using a cold laser wand and a wheel chair and within months Chance went from the chair to what we called "wonky walking" and now he races around the field!!!Chance is a typical bulldog doing what he wants and he is big so making him do anything is definitely not easy LOL.  He has learned the hand signal for sit and he will do it on command because he knows he gets a treat :)He is good with most dogs but we have found he is not fond of shihtzu's.  At the ranch he lives with cats coming i...

Cloud

Description: Well hello there, my name is Cloud. Yeah, yeah — Cloud. I know what you’re thinking. Who names a dog Cloud?! Seriously?! They could’ve gone with something cool like Snow… or Angelica (okay, maybe that’s a stretch). But Cloud? Come on! I should file a complaint with management — but let’s be real, I’m a big dog sitting in a kill shelter. Not exactly the time to make waves. So, something happened the other day… I overheard the kennel worker talking to a lady. She said, “They’re going to euthanize this week.” Both of them looked really upset. Then I heard, “Cloud is on the list.” OHHHH NOOOOO. I didn’t know exactly what “euthanize” meant, but judging by their faces… it was NOT good. But guess what?! Plot twist! Just one day before the “euthanizing thing,” 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue said they would TAKE ME!! The ladies were so happy, and I’m thinking: YES! I am... Click for more information...

CoCo

Description: Well I was "purchased" by a senior citizen.  He was 78 and I was a puppy :(  I had to be around really big dogs.  By the time I was 2 I had learned that I needed to protect myself.  My owner had realized he was to old to handle a puppy.  To say it was a mess was an understatement :(   My owners daughter started calling all around looking for help to place me.  She told the people I was food aggressive, dog aggressive and only liked males so of course most rescues the SPCA included didn't want anything to do with me :(Lucky for me Lynn decided she wanted to meet me.  She took my leash and we went for a walk.  I just knew by the way she walked with me that she was in charge and I didn't have to be.  She picked me up and carried me for a little while and I decided I liked it!She brought this big dog Millie into the play yard.  Oh no I was scared but Lynn seemed to think it would be alright so I decided to see what would happen.&n...
