COOPER - NM
AGE: ~ 6 - 8 Years Old
WEIGHT: ~ 12 - 15 lbs
BREED: Scruffy Sidekick
Meet Cooper! This sweet little scruff has found himself looking for a new beginning after his mom passed away and family was unable to take him in. Thankfully, our friends at BarkPlace4Dogs stepped in to make sure Cooper had somewhere safe to land while he waited for his next person to find him.
And his person is really what Cooper is looking for. This boy is a certified Velcro baby who wants nothing more than to be by your side, preferably with a toy nearby. Cooper LOVES his toys, loves his people even more, and underneath that scruffy exterior and ridiculously adorable little underbite is a devoted companion just waiting to become somebody's favorite shadow.
Cooper is completely crate trained and considers his crate his safe space. He's also made great progress with potty training, though he'll need some continued consistency in his new home. His fabulously tousled look will need some professional upkeep too, so his future family should plan on regular grooming to keep this little gentleman looking his best.
Cooper may be little, but he has a big personality and isn't particularly interested in sharing the spotlight. Although he lived with other dogs and cats in foster, we've learned that he'll thrive as the only pet in his future home, where he can soak up all the attention for himself. He's not suited for dog parks or group play with other dogs, and while he wasn't aggressive toward the cats in his foster home, he had a habit of chasing and overly pestering them. For Cooper, a quiet kingdom of one really is the best fit.
Cooper is neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated and up-to-date on his monthly preventatives. As an older guy, Cooper isn't looking for a packed social calendar. He's looking for his person, a lap to call his own, plenty of toys and a home where he can finally settle in for good. He's sweet, loyal, wonderfully quirky and more than ready to be YOUR Cooper.

MURPHY - NM
AGE: ~ 8 - 9 Years Old
WEIGHT: ~ 12 - 15 lbs
BREED: Curly-Coated Snugglepoo
Meet Murphy! After eight years of being someone's dog, Murphy needs somewhere new to belong. This sweet gentleman was quickly displaced when his owner got a new girlfriend who quickly wanted him gone after he pooped on her floor. Thankfully, he landed in a loving foster home where he's had the chance to remind everyone just how much this older guy still has to offer.
Murphy doesn't seem to hold a grudge. In fact, we're pretty sure that little smile on his face tells you everything you need to know about him. He absolutely loves people and has yet to meet a stranger. He's confident, affectionate and happiest wherever his humans happen to be. He lived in foster with five dogs and five cats and got along wonderfully with the whole crew, happily playing outside with his canine foster siblings before heading back inside to assume his favorite position: right beside his person soaking up all the snuggles.
Don't let the senior status fool you, either. Murphy still has plenty of play in him., He LOVES his toys (balls and stuffed animals are particular favorites) and enjoys walks, time outside and generally participating in whatever his people are doing. He's that lovely combination of playful when it's time for fun and perfectly content to settle in when it's time to relax.
Murphy has made wonderful progress with both potty and crate training, although neither is quite perfect yet. After everything that's changed in his world, we're looking for a family willing to offer this sweet older gentleman a little patience, consistency and grace as he settles into another new routine.
His curly coat will also require regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his best…which, judging by that smile, Murphy seems to believe is very important.
Murphy is neutered, vaccinated, up to date on preventatives and ready for the part of his story where someone chooses him for good. He shouldn't have had to start over, but he's more than ready to show his next family that some of the very best dogs come with a little life experience.

MAMA CHARLIE - SF
AGE: ~ 3 Years Old
WEIGHT: 60 lbs
BREED: Blue-Eyed Gazelle Hound
Meet Charlie. Some rescue stories are difficult to tell, and Charlie's is one of them. But hers isn't simply a story about suffering. It's a story about what can happen when enough people refuse to give up on one dog.
In December 2025, our rescue partners at BarkPlace4Dogs were working to intervene in a horrific abuse and hoarding situation at a property in the Tennessee mountains. Dogs were living outside in freezing temperatures with little protection from the elements. Shelter was filthy and inadequate, food was scarce and much of the available water had frozen. Charlie was one of those dogs.
She was tethered to cinder blocks on a chain only about three feet long, with barely enough room to move. An old dresser drawer had been repurposed as her water bowl. That tiny radius around those cinder blocks was essentially Charlie's entire world.
During the first trip to the property, rescuers were able to remove two mothers and their puppies. With foster space already stretched beyond capacity, there simply wasn't room for Charlie too. The situation was reported to law enforcement, and Charlie was eventually removed and brought to a county shelter.
What nobody knew at the time was that Charlie was pregnant. She gave birth at the shelter, losing one puppy during delivery and three more while they were there. On December 28, BarkPlace4Dogs managed to make room and get Charlie and her three surviving babies into rescue. Those three little survivors eventually made their way to Shultz's Guest House earlier this year. You may remember them as Charlie's Angels. All three quickly found beautiful families of their own. But Charlie's fight wasn't finished.
She developed pyometra, a dangerous infection of the uterus, requiring emergency surgery. Then came another blow: Charlie tested positive for heartworm disease. After everything she'd already endured, she faced months of trying treatment and recovery. And Charlie did what Charlie does. She kept going.
She beat heartworm. She healed. She moved through three loving foster homes, leaving behind a trail of people who will always remember the truly incredible dog she is and one that will continue to hold a special place in their hearts. Little by little, the dog whose entire world had once been measured by the length of a chain began learning just how much bigger life could be.
Today, Charlie is healthy, happy and an absolute dream of a dog. She's gentle, incredibly affectionate and deeply connected to her people. When someone she loves approaches, Charlie will scrunch her whole body down, wiggle toward them and eventually tip herself right over onto her side as if to say, well, since you're here, you might as well rub my belly. She tends to be submissive and appeasing, and despite everything humans have put her through, she still seems hardwired to seek connection with them.
She has lived successfully with multiple dogs in foster, although we can't help but think Charlie might thoroughly enjoy finally being someone's one and only. After a lifetime of sharing resources, space and attention, being the center of somebody's world would be a dream for this girl. Charlie has also lived with cats, but her enthusiastic attempts at play aren't necessarily appreciated by every feline, so we'd prefer either a cat-free home or a very dog-savvy cat comfortable setting boundaries.
Charlie is house trained and crate trained, although she's proven she can be trusted without using one. She could use continued work on her leash skills, and we think a quieter suburban setting would suit her better than the constant stimulation of city life.
We also think she could live happily with older, dog-savvy children who understand that this sweet girl has a history and will treat her gently. Charlie needs people willing to give her patience, predictability and kindness while allowing her to continue building confidence at her own pace.
Those magnificent ears and her intensely loyal nature make us suspect there may be some Shepherd somewhere in her family tree, but her actual genetics are anybody's guess. What we know for certain is far more important: Charlie is resilient, loving, sensitive and extraordinarily forgiving.
Charlie spent so much of her life simply surviving. Through it all, somehow, she never lost her softness. She still trusts, still loves, still leans into every gentle hand that reaches for her. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, up to date on preventatives and finally ready for something she’s never truly had before: a safe place to belong for good.

ALISSA - SF
Age: ~ 6 - 7 Months
WEIGHT: ~ 25 - 35 lbs
BREED: Pocket-Sized Party Shepherd
Meet Alissa! This happy little firecracker was originally found as a stray alongside another dog, Cheyenne, who was injured and remains in Tennessee recovering in foster care. Thankfully, a kind finder took both girls in and cared for them for several months, giving Alissa some stability after her days of being homeless. Now Cheyenne is getting the time she needs to heal, and Alissa has gotten the green light to head north and start looking for a family of her very own.
Alissa is busy, athletic and FULL of life. Whoever adopts this girl should probably own a decent pair of sneakers. She's the kind of dog who wakes up genuinely thrilled about everything. She loves to run, play and turn just about anything into entertainment. Watching her toss a toy or ball around for herself is a show all on its own. We suspect there may be some Australian Shepherd or another herding-type breed somewhere in her family tree, and whatever the genetic recipe, it definitely produced a smart little athlete.
Because of that, Alissa isn't our pick for apartment living. She'd thrive with some room to move, ideally a yard, and people who genuinely enjoy an active lifestyle. Walks around the block alone aren't going to satisfy this girl's busy body and brain; she'll benefit from regular exercise, adventures, training and enrichment that gives her something to think about too. We'd also lean toward slightly older children who won't be overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, or accidentally find themselves being organized into a small herd.
For all that go-go-go, Alissa has another setting: right next to you. She's a big fan of her people and would prefer not to miss whatever they're doing. Occasionally she has some opinions to share when her humans aren't close enough, but fortunately she's just about the perfect size to bring along for plenty of life's adventures. Give her somewhere to go and someone to go there with, and Alissa is delighted to be included.
She's still an adolescent, which means her enthusiasm occasionally arrives several seconds before her manners. Potty training, crate training and leash walking are all works in progress, and her future family should be prepared to continue building those skills from the ground up. Right now, you may occasionally feel like you're living with an overexcited bowling ball with legs, but underneath all that momentum is a smart, eager girl who wants to engage with her people. Patience, consistency, positive reinforcement and continued socialization will go a long way toward helping her channel all that potential.
Alissa is one of those dogs who simply seems happy to be here. She’s happy to play, happy to see you, happy to have been given another chance. Now she just needs someone willing to take all that enthusiasm and show her how big her world can be.
She's spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, up to date on preventatives and ready for her next adventure. If your life could use a little more movement, a lot more laughter and one very enthusiastic sidekick, Alissa is ready to go.

SCOTTIE - SF
AGE: ~ 1 - 2 Years Old
WEIGHT: ~ 30 - 35 lbs
BREED: Blue-Eyed Gazelle Hound
Meet Scottie! This striking blue-eyed girl was found running back and forth along a dangerously busy road, frighteningly thin and with no one coming forward to claim her. It is believed that she was dumped nearby an up-and-coming neighborhood.
We don't know what happened before she landed in safe hands, but Scottie gives us enough little clues to know that life hasn't always been particularly kind to her. She's still working on putting some much-needed weight on her lean frame, and emotionally, she's learning that she doesn't always have to be on guard anymore.
Scottie can be apprehensive with unfamiliar people, especially men, and needs time to decide for herself that you're safe. Give this girl patience rather than pressure and you'll eventually get to meet an entirely different Scottie. Once her trust is earned, she is incredibly loyal, bubbly, and loving. She’s the kind of dog who would happily spend hours tucked against you being petted and may just qualify as one of the best cuddle partners around.
And then there's her goofy side. With her long legs, lean build and bouncy play style, a comfortable Scottie turns into something of a gazelle. She's active, playful and loves letting loose with her canine friends, but she also has a wonderful ability to settle down and trade all that bouncing for a serious snuggle session.
Scottie has done very well with other dogs, and we actually think a well-matched canine companion could be a wonderful asset in her future home. She loved playing with her foster siblings and seems to gain a lot from having canine friends around. Because she's an enthusiastic, physical player, another dog who appreciates a similar play style would likely be her best match. We're recommending a home without cats for Scottie, they are too fun for her to pester. Her experience with children is unknown, and because she can be quite fearful when overwhelmed, we don't think a home with children would be the right fit.
Scottie's future family should also understand that fearful dogs require a little extra planning in the beginning. Although she has never shown aggression, she should be considered a flight risk while adjusting to unfamiliar people and surroundings. A dog-savvy family willing to keep her world secure, give her space when she asks for it and allow her confidence to build at her own pace will be incredibly important. A fenced-in yard would be a huge bonus.
She's already potty trained and has shown us just how smart and eager to learn she can be. Leash manners are definitely still on the syllabus. Scottie gets excited and has got some serious strength behind that slim figure. She will absolutely need continued training which will be great for helping her build confidence. Bring out some treats, praise and positive encouragement and she's ready to work with you. Scottie is also frightened by thunderstorms and appreciates some extra reassurance when the skies get noisy. Small enclosed spaces currently make her uneasy as well, so crate training may need to be approached slowly and thoughtfully rather than rushed.
Scottie completely stole the hearts of her foster family, and we’ve assured them she will find the right family who is ready to help this beautiful girl soar. Scottie is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date on preventatives. Earning Scottie’s trust is so special. Give her the time she needs to trust you, and she'll give you the kind of devotion that makes you feel like the luckiest person in the world.

TRAVIS - NM
Age: ~ 8 - 9 Months Old
WEIGHT: ~ 60 lbs
BREED: Pyr-Powered Love Tank
Meet Travis! This big, handsome goofball was found as an unclaimed stray and taken in by a kind person who unfortunately couldn't keep him. So Travis packed up his giant paws and his even bigger personality and headed our way in search of somewhere to finally call home.
Travis is an adolescent in a very large body who hasn't quite received the memo that he's a very large body. He's boisterous, playful, enthusiastic and occasionally seems to believe the shortest route from Point A to Point B is directly through whatever happens to be standing between them. But underneath all that unpolished puppy energy is an incredibly sweet, lovable boy who simply loves to love. He's affectionate, happy to make friends and has all the ingredients of a fantastic companion.
We believe Travis has some Great Pyrenees in his family tree, and every so often he'll even break out that classic Pyr paw to make his case. His future family should spend some time learning about the breed and the wonderful (and sometimes challenging) traits that can come along with it. Travis is also still growing, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him land somewhere around 90 pounds as an adult. In other words, the time to teach him that jumping on people isn't an acceptable form of greeting is definitely now.
He's done well with other dogs and loves to play, although his size and enthusiasm mean he won't necessarily be the right match for every canine companion. A dog who enjoys a bigger, more physical playmate could have an absolute blast with him; a dog who prefers personal space may find Travis' particular brand of friendship a little much.
We think he could also do very well with children, but we'd lean toward dog-savvy kids who are comfortable around a large, exuberant dog. Travis can occasionally be a little unsure when encountering something unfamiliar, so a family that can give him confidence without overwhelming him will help tremendously as his world continues to expand.
And then there's the training. Travis needs it. Lots of it. Leash manners, polite greetings, impulse control, boundaries and all the everyday skills expected of a family dog are still very much works in progress. Continued socialization, positive reinforcement and plenty of mental and physical enrichment will be important as this oversized puppy grows into himself. He's a lotta dog who needs a lotta work, but there's also a whole lotta wonderful waiting on the other side of it.
We don't think Travis will thrive squeezed into a small apartment. He needs room to stretch those giant, still-growing legs and a family prepared to give a young guy appropriate outlets for his body and brain. His gorgeous fluffy coat will also require regular brushing and grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.
Travis is coming to you big, goofy, loving, unfinished and full of potential. Put in the work now, and we have a feeling the payoff will be one very special…and very large best friend. Travis has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated and up-to-date on his monthly preventatives. If you've got room in your home, room in your schedule and preferably some room on your couch for this guy, Travis is ready to meet you.

Leash manners, polite greetings, impulse control, boundaries and all the everyday skills expected of a family dog are still very much works in progress. Continued socialization, positive reinforcement and plenty of mental and physical enrichment will be important as this oversized puppy grows into himself. He's a lotta dog who needs a lotta work, but there's also a whole lotta wonderful waiting on the other side of it.
We don't think Travis will thrive squeezed into a small apartment. He needs room to stretch those giant, still-growing legs and a family prepared to give a young guy appropriate outlets for his body and brain. His gorgeous fluffy coat will also require regular brushing and grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best.
Travis is coming to you big, goofy, loving, unfinished and full of potential. Put in the work now, and we have a feeling the payoff will be one very special…and very large best friend. Travis has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated and up-to-date on his monthly preventatives. If you've got room in your home, room in your schedule and preferably some room on your couch for this guy, Travis is ready to meet you.
JOSHUA - NM
Age: ~ 5 - 6 Months
WEIGHT: ~ 35 lbs
BREED: Sunshine Torpedo
Meet Joshua! This stocky ray of sunshine originally turned up as an unclaimed stray, and one look at his intake photo was enough to break our hearts. He was painfully thin, defeated-looking and very much in need of someone to change the trajectory of his life. So when the opportunity came to bring him to safety, there really wasn't much discussion…we had to take him.
Fast-forward to now and that sad dog in the intake photo is unrecognizable.
Joshua has filled out some, perked up considerably and revealed a personality every bit as sunny as his golden coat. He's happy, affectionate, goofy and equipped with a sturdy build that can best be described as somewhat torpedo-shaped (especially when you get caught in the whirlwind of a good zoom session).
Joshua approaches life with enthusiasm and occasionally approaches you with that same level of enthusiasm. He's active, excitable, and currently operating with approximately zero understanding of personal space. Think less "polished family dog" and more very happy bulldozer in the early stages of training. He's not trying to be rude; he's simply thrilled to be included and hasn't yet learned that all four feet don't need to participate in every greeting.
He's done well with other dogs and loves having canine friends, although he's definitely a spitfire and will do best with dogs who appreciate his energetic style. Cats are still an unknown. We think Joshua could make a wonderful family dog and would likely enjoy having kids to play and adventure with, but because his manners are still under construction, we'd lean toward older children who won't be easily toppled by a flying hello.
Joshua is also still learning all the things. His future family should be ready to continue working on leash skills, polite greetings, impulse control and everyday household manners while giving his busy body and brain plenty of appropriate outlets. Exercise will be important, but so will training, enrichment and teaching him that sometimes the most exciting thing a dog can do is just stroll and sniff. With consistency, positive reinforcement and a little patience, there's a really wonderful dog waiting to emerge from all that adolescent chaos.
Because underneath the jumping, zooming and occasional bulldozing is a dog with an enormous golden heart. Joshua is happy to be safe, happy to make friends and seemingly delighted by the realization that life can actually be pretty good.
He arrived looking like the world had already gotten the best of him. Now he's making up for lost time at full speed. Joshua has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated and up-to-date on his monthly preventatives. If you're looking for a dog who's equal parts sunshine, Joshua's torpedo is officially pointed toward home.

JETT - NM

BREED: J-Crew Mystery Mix
Meet the J Crew! Josie, Jett, Jade and Julian came into rescue as unclaimed strays, which means their history is anyone's guess. What we do know is that these four adolescents seem to have entered life without much structure or guidance, and now they're getting the chance to start over.
We have a feeling plenty of things most dogs consider ordinary may be completely new to them, so continued socialization, confidence building and positive exposure to the world will be important. Some have jumped into rescue life ready to party, while others are still standing at the edge figuring out whether it's safe to join in.
We're not entirely convinced Jett attended the same family reunion as everyone else, but apparently he's part of the crew, so we're going with it.
Jett is our happy-go-lucky bouncing bean. With his expressive face, athletic build and spring-loaded approach to life, he gives us some definite Boxer-ish vibes. Genetics aside, this boy has a temperament that's hard not to love.
He's silly, playful, social and seems genuinely delighted to be involved in whatever is happening. While some of his friends are still cautiously figuring out their surroundings, Jett has more of a ‘THIS LOOKS FUN, WHAT ARE WE DOING?’ approach.
He's still a young chap without much formal education, though, so enthusiasm shouldn't be mistaken for manners. Jett will need training, structure, exercise and continued socialization as he learns how to channel all that happy energy into becoming a great family dog.
He's done well around other dogs and loves to play. Cats are unknown. Based on what we've seen so far, we think Jett could potentially be a great match for a family with kids who are comfortable with an active adolescent dog who's still working on becoming his best self.
Jett is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on his monthly preventatives.
If your life could use a little more joy, Jett is ready to bring it.

Meet the J Crew! Josie, Jett, Jade and Julian came into rescue as unclaimed strays, which means their history is anyone's guess. What we do know is that these four adolescents seem to have entered life without much structure or guidance, and now they're getting the chance to start over.
We have a feeling plenty of things most dogs consider ordinary may be completely new to them, so continued socialization, confidence building and positive exposure to the world will be important. Some have jumped into rescue life ready to party, while others are still standing at the edge figuring out whether it's safe to join in.
Josie is the tenderhearted one of the bunch. She's a beautiful, sweet girl who very much wants to participate but isn't quite convinced yet that this big new world is as safe as everyone keeps telling her it is.
Of the four, Josie is currently the most nervous and will need a patient adopter willing to let trust happen on her timeline. She hasn't had the socialization we'd hope for at this age, and new people, places and experiences can feel like a lot right now. She doesn't need someone to push her through that uncertainty, but someone who will help her discover, little by little, that she can handle it.
We've already seen glimpses of the silly, playful adolescent underneath those nerves, and we're excited to watch more of her emerge. Josie appears to enjoy other dogs, and we think a confident, well-adjusted canine companion could be especially beneficial for her. Someone she can watch when she's unsure and follow into new experiences.
Because Josie is still showing us who she is when she feels safe, we'd want to assess any match with children individually rather than make assumptions. Cats are also unknown.
She's going to require training, continued socialization and plenty of confidence building,
This group of four is starting with plenty to learn when it comes to household manners and training, but they're at such a great age to soak it all up. Their future families should be ready to invest the time now to help turn these four lovable works in progress into confident, well-rounded adult dogs.
Josie is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on her monthly preventatives. For the right person, watching this girl realize she doesn't have to be afraid of her world anymore may be one of the best parts of bringing her home.

Some have jumped into rescue life ready to party, while others are still standing at the edge figuring out whether it's safe to join in.
Jade is absolutely striking with her icy blue eyes. She's on the shy side and still figuring out all these unfamiliar people, sounds, places and expectations, but we're already watching her take cues from the more confident members of her crew and inch her way forward.
And that's exactly how we'd like her future family to approach her: little wins, not giant leaps.
Jade hasn't had the socialization she needed earlier in life, so she'll require a patient home that understands confidence isn't something you can rush. Give her time to observe, reward her curiosity and let her make good choices without forcing interactions, and we think there's a really fun little personality waiting to unfold.
She appears to enjoy other dogs, and like Josie, a confident canine role model may be a wonderful match for her. Having another dog demonstrate that the new person, strange noise or unfamiliar adventure is no big deal can be incredibly helpful for a pup still learning how the world works.
Cats are unknown, and because she's currently more fearful, we'd want to assess children individually and make sure any potential home can provide the calm, respectful environment she needs.
Jade is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on her monthly preventatives. Give this beautiful girl the chance to become brave beside you, and we suspect she'll be worth every second of the wait.

Some have jumped into rescue life ready to party, while others are still standing at the edge figuring out whether it's safe to join in.
Julian is a professional goober who has quickly determined that life is supposed to be fun. He's playful, goofy, outgoing and largely interested in discovering where the entertainment is happening and how quickly he can become involved. Of the group, he's one of the more confident personalities, and there's something wonderfully uncomplicated about his current outlook: new day, new friends, new stuff to investigate.
Of course, Julian is still very much an adolescent and hasn't exactly graduated from finishing school. He's starting without much structure or formal training, so his future family should be prepared for all the usual work: leash manners, household skills, impulse control, boundaries and learning that not every idea produced by a teenage dog brain needs to be pursued.
He's done well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a playful canine friend, although he'd also be perfectly capable of supplying plenty of entertainment himself. Cats are unknown. Based on the confident, social boy we're getting to know, we think he could potentially do well with dog-savvy children who are comfortable with an active young dog.
Julian is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on his monthly preventatives.
He isn't promising immediate sophistication. He's offering enthusiasm, comedy and a really good time. Add some training and consistency to the mix, and this lovable goofball has all the makings of one fantastic sidekick.

SHADOW - SF
AGE: ~ 6 Months Old
WEIGHT: 20 - 25 lbs
BREED: Merle-Coated Love Magnet
Meet Shadow! True to her name, this beautiful girl is looking for someone she can follow just about everywhere. Shadow came to us after being found as an unclaimed stray by a kind person who was unable to keep her, and while we don’t know much about her first chapter, we already know exactly what she wants from the next one: a person to call her own.
Shadow is an absolute love bug with Velcro tendencies already firmly installed. She doesn’t just want to sit beside you, she crawls right into your skin for a snuggle every given opportunity. She’s incredibly affectionate, sweet and submissive with people, with a truly lovely temperament that makes it very easy to fall for her. And that gorgeous merle coat certainly doesn’t hurt.
But Shadow is still very much a puppy, and underneath all that cuddly sweetness is an active, smart young dog ready to go places. She’ll thrive with a family excited to give her plenty of physical exercise, adventures and opportunities to keep that growing brain busy. Continued training and positive reinforcement will be important as she matures, and we have a feeling she'll be a pretty enthusiastic student…especially if learning means spending more time with her people.
Shadow has been friendly with other dogs and could potentially enjoy having a canine companion. Cats are still an unknown. With her affectionate nature, we think she could also be a wonderful match for a family with children, provided everyone is prepared for the energy, training and general shenanigans that come with raising a puppy.
Shadow is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and up to date on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. If your ideal dog is equal parts adventure buddy and personal space invader, Shadow may have been waiting for you.

HATTIE - F

BREED: Northern Lights Mix
Meet Henley! Henley and her sister Hattie have already spent far too much of their puppyhood waiting for life to really begin. They entered a rural animal control facility when they were very young and remained in the shelter system for much of their early lives. They weren't mistreated there, but even the most caring county shelter simply isn't where growing puppies are meant to spend their formative months.
BarkPlace4Dogs wanted to get them out, but finding foster space took time. When that opportunity finally came, Hattie and Henley traded kennel life for something much closer to the puppyhood they deserved: room to run on a beautiful farm, other dogs to play with, good food, toys, affection and plenty of puppy-pile naps. They've been wonderfully cared for ever since, and it's been pretty special watching them begin to experience a bigger world.
And what beautiful little weirdos they are. Henley is sporting a pair of spectacular satellite-dish ears that appear capable of receiving signals from several counties away, while Hattie will stop you in your tracks with those icy blue eyes. Their Husky looks are hard to miss, although we're sure there's more mixed into their genetic grab bag.
Both girls are incredibly smart, affectionate and cuddly. They love attention, happily soak up affection and still think being held is a perfectly reasonable request despite getting bigger by the minute. They've enjoyed running, wrestling and playing with other dogs in foster and have benefited tremendously from having canine friends around.
Because they've spent so much of their young lives in a shelter environment, however, they're behind the curve when it comes to training and everyday home-life skills. Their future families should expect to start with the basics and be ready to put real time into house training, leash walking, settling, boundaries and all the other pieces that turn a smart puppy into a well-rounded adult dog. Continued socialization, structure, enrichment and positive reinforcement will be especially important for these two.
We'd strongly prefer dog-experienced families, ideally with some familiarity with northern breeds. Huskies are brilliant, athletic dogs with plenty of personality, but all that intelligence and energy needs somewhere productive to go. Their looks may be what initially grab your attention, but families should be prepared for the commitment that can come with the brains behind those pretty faces.
They've played well with other dogs in foster, although the shelter environment itself can still make them a little unsure. Cats and children are currently unknown, so any potential matches should be considered thoughtfully based on each girl's individual comfort level.
Henley and Hattie have already done enough growing up inside the shelter system. Now they're ready to do the rest of it in homes of their own. They have beauty, brains and more than enough love to go around.

BREED: Northern Lights Mix
Meet Henley! Henley and her sister Hattie have already spent far too much of their puppyhood waiting for life to really begin. They entered a rural animal control facility when they were very young and remained in the shelter system for much of their early lives. They weren't mistreated there, but even the most caring county shelter simply isn't where growing puppies are meant to spend their formative months.
BarkPlace4Dogs wanted to get them out, but finding foster space took time. When that opportunity finally came, Hattie and Henley traded kennel life for something much closer to the puppyhood they deserved: room to run on a beautiful farm, other dogs to play with, good food, toys, affection and plenty of puppy-pile naps. They've been wonderfully cared for ever since, and it's been pretty special watching them begin to experience a bigger world.
And what beautiful little weirdos they are. Henley is sporting a pair of spectacular satellite-dish ears that appear capable of receiving signals from several counties away, while Hattie will stop you in your tracks with those icy blue eyes. Their Husky looks are hard to miss, although we're sure there's more mixed into their genetic grab bag.
Both girls are incredibly smart, affectionate and cuddly. They love attention, happily soak up affection and still think being held is a perfectly reasonable request despite getting bigger by the minute. They've enjoyed running, wrestling and playing with other dogs in foster and have benefited tremendously from having canine friends around.
Because they've spent so much of their young lives in a shelter environment, however, they're behind the curve when it comes to training and everyday home-life skills. Their future families should expect to start with the basics and be ready to put real time into house training, leash walking, settling, boundaries and all the other pieces that turn a smart puppy into a well-rounded adult dog. Continued socialization, structure, enrichment and positive reinforcement will be especially important for these two.
We'd strongly prefer dog-experienced families, ideally with some familiarity with northern breeds. Huskies are brilliant, athletic dogs with plenty of personality, but all that intelligence and energy needs somewhere productive to go. Their looks may be what initially grab your attention, but families should be prepared for the commitment that can come with the brains behind those pretty faces.
They've played well with other dogs in foster, although the shelter environment itself can still make them a little unsure. Cats and children are currently unknown, so any potential matches should be considered thoughtfully based on each girl's individual comfort level.

FRANKENSTEIN - M
DOB: 6/23/2026
WEIGHT: ~ 10 - 15 lbs
BREED: Mixed-Up Mixed Breeds
Meet Frankenstein and Scruffy! Before you ask…Frankenstein and Scruffy are indeed brothers. We checked. Okay, we didn't actually DNA check, but we do know that these two share a mama, a birthday and one pretty remarkable beginning.
These two little guys had a heartbreaking start to life. Their mama was pregnant with them when complications during delivery took her life, leaving her newborn puppies without the one thing they desperately needed. Their owner reached out for help finding a nursing mama, and fortunately, another mother dog stepped up. Already well versed in the business of raising babies, she took these orphaned little ones under her wing and gave them the care they needed to survive and grow.
And grow they did, and apparently in completely different directions. How these two ended up on completely different branches of the same family tree is a question for the genetics department. Scruffy showed up to the genetic lottery with a tousled tan coat, while Frankenstein opted for the sleek dark-heather coat and a face that looks absolutely nothing like his brother's. Different dads are certainly possible, but without DNA testing, their background will remain one of life's little mysteries.
Personality-wise, they're everything puppies should be. They're active, playful, curious and wonderfully snuggly once they've gotten some of that puppy energy out. They've grown up around other dogs and are friendly with their canine companions. Cats are an unknown, but they're young enough to begin learning how to respectfully coexist with feline family members through slow introductions and appropriate boundaries.
As adorable as they are, these boys are also complete blank slates. They'll head into their new homes needing to learn potty training, crate training, leash skills, household manners and all the other lessons that turn a wiggly little puppy into a solid lifelong companion. Their future families should be ready for the time, patience, consistency, socialization and positive reinforcement that raising a puppy requires.
Frankenstein and Scruffy have been microchipped and are up-to-date on their age-appropriate vaccinations and monthly preventatives. They've already lost one mama and been lovingly raised by another. Now they're ready for the families who will take it from here.

BREED: Teensie-Weensie Chiweewees
Meet Willa! Willa and her brother Woody are two itsy bitsy babies who entered the world under less-than-ideal circumstances. Their owner passed away, leaving behind eight Chihuahua mixes, none of whom had been spayed or neutered, and it wasn't long before everyone discovered that a surprise litter was already on the way.
Willa and Woody were born prematurely, and when their mama wasn't producing milk, these impossibly tiny babies needed a little extra help getting started. Thankfully, they made it. And now we have two very small, very adorable, extremely opinionated little creatures running around our shelter.
Willa is the tiniest of the tiny, currently weighing in at a whopping 2 pounds soaking wet, but apparently nobody told her. She's packed an impressive amount of personality into a body roughly the size of a baked potato.
Both Willa and Woody are incredibly affectionate and seem determined to stay as physically close to their people as possible. They're almost rodent-like in their desire to climb all over you, burrow into you and generally make themselves part of your clothing. And despite their microscopic stature, their volume settings are comparable to residential fire alarms. Seriously, the little howls are absolutely hysterical.
They're also complete blank slates. They still have puppy breath, big bulbous baby heads and approximately everything left to learn about being dogs. Potty training, crate training, leash skills, boundaries and learning that being separated from their humans for a little while is perfectly okay will all need to start in their new homes. Those oversized noggins are little sponges right now, and this is the perfect time to begin building confidence and independence alongside all the cuddling.
Willa and Woody have done well with other dogs, although at their size, choosing canine friends carefully will be important. A well-meaning larger dog could accidentally squash them during play. They've also been fine around cats. We think they could do well with dog-savvy older children who understand that just because they are tiny doesn't mean they are a toy. These puppies are fragile and need to be handled appropriately.
Their future families will also need to take their size seriously outdoors. These are not dogs we'd recommend leaving unattended in a yard, even a fenced one. At only a few pounds, wildlife and other larger animals can pose a very real danger, so supervised outdoor time will be important even as they grow.
And grow they will...just probably not by that much. We expect both Woody and Willa to remain very small adults, likely under 15 pounds fully grown. What they lack in physical real estate, however, they appear fully prepared to compensate for in personality. Both are active little gremlins who need families prepared to raise puppies and not simply carry around adorable accessories.
Both Willa and Woody have been microchipped and are up-to-date with their age-appropriate vaccinations and monthly preventatives. They're tiny. They're ridiculous. And they're ready to find people who will love them enormously while teaching them how to navigate the world on four very, very little legs.

PICKLES - F
AGE: ~ 10 - 12 Weeks Old
WEIGHT: 10 - 15 lbs
BREED: Mixed Bag of Munchkins
Meet our little melting pot of puppy perfection! 10 siblings and one honorary member named Pickles, because apparently this family wasn't quite complete without a Pickle.
The original ten came into rescue after their mom and her babies were abandoned at an old car lot in Tennessee. Police intervened and reached out to the Morristown Humane Society for help, but with no room available, our rescue partners stepped in to get the entire family to safety.
Unfortunately, their troubles weren't quite over. Scrappy Doo and Razzel became very sick with parvo, and another sibling sadly didn't survive. Watching the others pull through has been another reminder of just how remarkably resilient these little lives can be.
And then there was Pickles. Pickles came from a separate heartbreaking situation and lost her own sibling to parvo. Suddenly left without a companion during such an important stage of her development, Pickles needed friends…and this crew had plenty to spare. So she was folded right into the family to give her the socialization, play and companionship every growing puppy deserves. They accepted her swimmingly, and you'd never know she wasn't born into the group...aside from the minor detail that she's roughly twice everybody else's size.
Take one look at this crew and your guess at their genetics is probably as good as ours. Wiry faces, smooth coats, ticking, tri-color, solid black, shades of tan…we wouldn't even rule out the possibility that more than one dad contributed to this particular variety pack. Whatever went into the recipe, the result is one big group of incredibly sweet puppies, each with a personality all their own.
Some march confidently into whatever comes next, while others prefer to hang back and take in the situation before joining the fun. But across the board, these babies are playful, affectionate and sweet to their core. They love romping with one another and have welcomed new canine friends into their circle without missing a beat.
They're also exactly what you'd expect from puppies: busy, curious, active and starting from scratch. Potty training, leash walking, crate training, household manners and all the other basics will be lessons for their future families to tackle with patience, consistency and plenty of positive reinforcement. They haven't been exposed to cats, but at this young age we feel they could learn to live successfully alongside feline friends with appropriate introductions and boundaries.
Many could also be wonderful family dogs; for our more bashful babies, we'd recommend children who are dog-savvy and able to give them the space and confidence they need to blossom.
All are microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on preventatives. They started life somewhere nobody wanted them. Somehow, they all found their way into this wonderfully mismatched little crew. Now they're ready to start scattering in the very best direction: home.

All are microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on preventatives. They started life somewhere nobody wanted them. Somehow, they all found their way into this wonderfully mismatched little crew. Now they're ready to start scattering in the very best direction: home.
NAZ - M
AGE: ~ 10 - 12 Weeks Old
WEIGHT: 10 - 15 lbs
BREED: Mixed Bag of Munchkins
Meet our little melting pot of puppy perfection! 10 siblings and one honorary member named Pickles, because apparently this family wasn't quite complete without a Pickle.
The original ten came into rescue after their mom and her babies were abandoned at an old car lot in Tennessee. Police intervened and reached out to the Morristown Humane Society for help, but with no room available, our rescue partners stepped in to get the entire family to safety.
Unfortunately, their troubles weren't quite over. Scrappy Doo and Razzel became very sick with parvo, and another sibling sadly didn't survive. Watching the others pull through has been another reminder of just how remarkably resilient these little lives can be.
And then there was Pickles. Pickles came from a separate heartbreaking situation and lost her own sibling to parvo. Suddenly left without a companion during such an important stage of her development, Pickles needed friends…and this crew had plenty to spare. So she was folded right into the family to give her the socialization, play and companionship every growing puppy deserves. They accepted her swimmingly, and you'd never know she wasn't born into the group...aside from the minor detail that she's roughly twice everybody else's size.
Take one look at this crew and your guess at their genetics is probably as good as ours. Wiry faces, smooth coats, ticking, tri-color, solid black, shades of tan…we wouldn't even rule out the possibility that more than one dad contributed to this particular variety pack. Whatever went into the recipe, the result is one big group of incredibly sweet puppies, each with a personality all their own.
Some march confidently into whatever comes next, while others prefer to hang back and take in the situation before joining the fun. But across the board, these babies are playful, affectionate and sweet to their core. They love romping with one another and have welcomed new canine friends into their circle without missing a beat.
They're also exactly what you'd expect from puppies: busy, curious, active and starting from scratch. Potty training, leash walking, crate training, household manners and all the other basics will be lessons for their future families to tackle with patience, consistency and plenty of positive reinforcement. They haven't been exposed to cats, but at this young age we feel they could learn to live successfully alongside feline friends with appropriate introductions and boundaries.
