16 Pets-Dixie.jpg
Dixie is a five-year-old, house-trained, leash-trained female. Dixie has been successfully treated for heartworms. This sweet dog came in to rescue after her owner had to go to a skilled nursing facility. Dixie would prefer a home that is low key.
16 Pets-Ginger.jpg
Ginger is a Shar Pei mix who is house trained, leash trained and very loving. Ginger is a cat chaser, and will not be adopted to a home with cats. Ginger gets along well with dogs her size and larger. This smart little dog would love a home with older children. She is an ideal size for any home.

Ruby is a three year old Great Dane mix. Ruby loves people, great with other dogs and needs a confidant owner due to her size and energy level. This wonderful girl is being treated for heartworms at the rescues expense; we would love for her to be in her forever home during the last part of her treatment.
