Name: Furok

Age: 3 Years Old

Gender:  Male

About: Meet Furok!  This sweet boy may be a little shy when he first meets people, but he has made so much progress and is learning that humans are pretty great. Give him a little time to warm up, and you’ll get to see his sweet, goofy, and affectionate personality come out. He just needs someone willing to be patient and let him build that trust at his own pace. Now, other dogs? That’s where Furok really shines!  Once he’s comfortable, he is a total social butterfly and absolutely loves having canine friends around. He is very playful with other dogs and enjoys wrestling, chasing, and getting into some good old-fashioned fun. Having another playful dog in the home could be a great fit for him! Furok is also a great mix of energy and chill. He can be ready to play and have some fun with his dog friends, but he’s just as happy settling down afterward and relaxing with his people. He’ll need a family that can give him plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and opportunities to explore, but he isn’t looking to be on the go every second of the day. Furok is the kind of dog who may not immediately run up and greet you, but once he decides you’re his person, you’ll see just how special he is. He’s looking for someone who will give him the patience and encouragement he needs while he continues gaining confidence. In return, you’ll get a playful, loyal, loving companion who is ready to become your best friend.

Name: Tarantallegra

Age: 1 Year Old

Gender:  Female

About: Tarantallegra is a sweet, loyal cattle dog who forms very deep bonds once he feels safe and trusts you. He needs an adopter with herding/working breed experience — or someone fully committed to training, structure, and daily mental and physical exercise. Tarantallegra can be fearful with new people and does best in a quiet home with limited visitors. He tends to bond most closely with one person, making a single-person household ideal, though he could succeed in a multi-person home with consistent training. He prefers to take things at his own pace and needs a patient adopter who will respect his space while he builds trust.

When excited, Tarantallegra may try to herd, so he needs a “job,” plenty of enrichment, and regular activity. He loves chew toys, enjoys staying busy, and is a big cuddler once comfortable.

Tarantallegra is a flight risk in the first few days in a new home, so secure management is critical. He has done well with large dogs and his foster’s cat, but can be dog-selective, so slow introductions are a must. He is fully potty trained and will use a crate once settled in. A home without children is preferred. If you are patient, experienced, and looking for a deeply devoted companion, Tarantallegra could be a wonderful match.

Age: 5 Months Old

Gender: Female

About: Gimbapi is a sweet, gentle girl who may be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and soon shows you just how affectionate she is!

She is a big-time cuddle bug and is happiest when she can be close to her humans! Gimbapi gets along wonderfully with dogs, kids, men, and women alike.

Name: Jenansfer Berthodrick

Age: 3 Years Old

Gender: Male


About: Jenasfer has already had quite a big life in his short few years, but none of it has changed what an amazing boy he is! When he came into the rescue, he was covered in porcupine quills all over his face. Thankfully, they were removed, and he healed beautifully. He also arrived with a previous leg injury and has undergone surgery on his hip to improve his range of motion. He does not need any additional surgeries, medication, or exercise restrictions. He may have a slight limp or an unusual gait, but his injury certainly hasn’t slowed him down! Through everything he has been through, Jenasfer has remained the most loving, affectionate guy. He absolutely adores people and loves everyone he meets. More than anything, he wants attention and affection! If you stop petting him before he’s ready, don’t be surprised if he lets out a few little howls to let you know he’d really prefer you keep the cuddles coming. He walks wonderfully on a leash and is doing great learning all about life in an apartment with his foster family. Jenasfer has been through more than his fair share, and now he’s ready for someone to show him just how good life can be!

She wants a person who will take her on walks, adventures, and errands, but who will also let her curl up nearby when it’s time to relax.If you’re looking for a loyal, hilarious, playful sidekick who loves her people with her whole heart, Sarie is ready to meet you!
