02/24/25- Spazzy has been adopted!! After over a year with us and all the bad she endured before we saved her, she found her humans!! Sometimes it takes time and extra effort but it does happen!! Will always love are Spaztastic!!

6/3/2024-  Smokey, Bandit & Maggie are doing very well! Smokey has had a bit of a harder time with the new changes and being scared, but with some help from her friends and a cheerleading fan club (us), she’s doing well! All three are so very sweet. I do believe Bandit to be a little more than partially blind. Make no mistake, he does not let that limit him and he’s usually the first to check out something new or try to accomplish a new area to claim his own! 
Ian slowly trying to adjust them to the fact I can not be with them and only them 24/7. It’s coming along but just need to continue working on it. We will get there. 

Violet- Violet is back to her old self mostly! She now is mostly running the show in her group of friends! I apologize I have not gotten any new pics of her just yet. She can be very deceiving as she acts as one dog but has a second doggie personality that she tries to hide and use to her advantage when she can!! It is quite comical and she’s just so adorable! She will be heading to a new foster home soon and I know we will miss her, but I think this foster home will fit her needs wonderfully! Stay tuned for her pics and adoption information!!


 5/27/2024 - We left PA about 9:30pm and we had a stop at Service Station for that good Ole’ Treat & Water break! Snuck in a potty break and quick walk around the yard! We made it to our destination roughly 1:30am and had to have another snack before attempting to lie down! They definitely  took advantage of the box of spilled cookies!! Even though they are nervous, sad and leery of what’s going on, they have been Absolutely wonderful fur babies and great on a long car ride, with strange people  

Heading out in a few hours to pick these three up!

it’s been a very sad story this far but we hope to turn it around for them! Coming to Ohio to start a new life and we will make sure it’s a great one. We desperately need sponsors and donations. We are over full right now and to continue to help, we need your help! Please checkout the sponsorship page and donation info!

Items we are in need of if you may have them!


If you happen to have any of these and are willing to donate, you are in the right place! The items in Red are the most needed, but all are a blessing! 

Choose the area best for you to drop off and we will give you the address. We may be able to come to you, under certain circumstances, but is difficult with all of the pets, to get away but we try our best to accommodate when possible.  We also have a new location Sheffield/Elyria area!

Fun Fact

It may come as a surprise, but the United States Air Force is the executive agent for the Department of Defense Military Working Dog Program. The 341st Training Squadron, based out of Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, is responsible for procuring, training, and assigning all K-9 dogs from the MWD program, and escort them all over the world following their training. And yes, for those interested, Puppy Development Specialist is a real and important job title.
