Available Dogs
Dog of the Month
Zeus
Zeus is a heartworm survivor! He’s an amazing medium-sized dog with plenty of energy and strength. Zeus isn’t fond of some men and would do best as the only pet in a household without children. For a single-family home with no pets or kids, Zeus could be the perfect companion and a loyal friend! SL268240
Frazier
Male Lab mix
Meet Frazier, the ultimate furry tornado of joy! This young, loyal, and ridiculously smart pup prefers the spotlight as the only animal in the house. He’s potty-trained, soon-to-be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and all his lab work will be done—talk about a package deal! Frazier would love an active couple or a family with older kids to match his boundless energy (and to keep up with his zoomies). He’s a big-hearted boy just waiting to steal your couch and your heart! SL268240.

Seven Year old Male Shepherd
Crandon, WI

He is here with us and ready to be someone’s amazing little best friend. His eyes are just closed in this picture. He can see fine, he was just enjoying the attention. Submit your application ASAP!

NOTE...Bindi is brown and her sister, Piper is black and white.
ALL puppies have to have a cash deposit left that you will receive back when you neuter or will be applied to neuter when they are old enough. Sorry for the change but we have had issues with PayPal cancelations and worthless checks being used.

Dodger
Whippet/Bull Terrier Mix
Meet the dashing Dodger! This wonderful young adult mixed breed is bursting with energy and playfulness. Dodger is great on a leash but has a knack for being an escape artist. His ideal home would be with someone who leads an active lifestyle and has plenty of space for him to burn off his energy. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, has completed blood work, and has been vet-checked. If you’re ready to meet the charming Dodger, submit your application ASAP! SL268240
Meet Chowder
female, altered three year old, potty and crate trained
Meet Chowder, the chunky whirlwind with the spirit of a lion! She's a quick learner who could probably teach you a thing or two, but she needs some guidance to channel her boundless energy. A fenced yard is a must because Chowder doesn't believe in boundaries—literally. Her dream human is an adventure-loving individual or couple ready for car rides, ball-throwing marathons, and outdoor escapades. Chowder prefers to be the queen of her castle, so she’d thrive as the only dog in the home. Given her strength, an adult-only household is recommended. Bonus: she's heading to dog training soon to polish her already charming personality. Contact me ASAP to meet this four-legged dynamo! SL268240
Banner
Blue Tick Hound
Meet Banner! Banner is a great big lovable boy with a jiggle in his neck wiggle. He is great with other dogs and people. He is about one year old and would do well in a home with an active lifestyle to be able to allow him to follow his nose around while being supervised...otherwise, his nose will surely lead him into trouble. <3 To meet Banner get us your application ASAP.
SL268240
Meet Brody! Brody is a handsome mixed-breed pup currently at the Forest County Humane Society, hoping his forever family will find him soon. He's strong, full of energy, and absolutely amazing in every way! Submit your application now—Brody might just be the perfect boy you’ve been searching for!

Percy
Male Mixed Breed
Meet Percy! Percy is a very energetic little retriever mix boy that is here looking for his forever home! He is very friendly but could use some behavioral training because he is just the jumpy type right now. He just hasn't learned “proper etiquette “yet :) If you would like to meet Percy, please get me your application ASSP!

Meet our lil Mamma, Sweet Caroline, an incredibly sweet and beautiful little girl! She lovingly raised a gorgeous litter of puppies and is now almost ready to be spayed and find her forever home. She is the gentlest little sweetheart, and it’s hard to resist adopting her myself. Truly amazing, she would thrive best in a home without small children due to her tiny size and will need guidance in learning to walk on a leash. She has been using the small pen in the yard here and piddle pads. If you’d like to be considered for Sweet Caroline, please submit your application as soon as possible.

Beaver
young Husky/Lab Male
Meet Beaver! Beaver is a lively one-year-old male looking for his forever home. He’s fantastic with kids and people but is definitely a runner and car chaser. He will need a secure setup, like a fenced yard, a 10x10 enclosure, or a tie-out. Beaver is a sweet, young pup patiently waiting for his forever family to discover him. <3
