🚨 We NEED kitten formula ASAP 🚨

With over 16 litters out to foster, we are running out of formula quick!

We specifically use Fox Valley Kitten formula. It’s been the best for our tiny babies and their sensitive digestive tracks. ❤️

Where’s are farm people at?🧑🏼‍🌾

We don’t get livestock very often, so we are surprised this guy is still here!

🐏 Meet Adam the BabyDoll Ram 🐏

Our best guess is he is under 2 years old

BabyDoll sheep are known for their petite size and their cute teddy bear faces. 🥹 They have a docile temperament and live to be about 10 years old.
They do require shearing ✂️ of their wool so experience with sheep would be advised.

Adoption fee: $175

➡️If you are wanting to adopt him, please be prepared with a way to safely transport.

Come meet Adam at our shelter!
12340 Airport Rd, Jackson
(Across the street from the Italian Picnic grounds)

Marley update! 🥰

She didn’t “fail.”

Life just happened.

This is Ripley.

When she first came to us from the shelter, she was young, big, energetic… and honestly? She didn’t show well in that environment. Shelters are loud. Stressful. Overwhelming. Not exactly the best place for a big, excited girl trying to figure out the world.

So she came into our program.

She learned structure. She learned boundaries. She learned how to channel that big energy into being the incredible dog we knew she was. And then she found her family.

We saw pictures of her out on adventures. Continuing her training. Living life.

And then we got the call no rescue ever wants.

Her family was going through some hard things… and Ripley ended up back at the shelter.

But here’s the thing.

She didn’t get left there.

We went and got our girl.

When she came back to us, we noticed her ear had some damage — likely from another dog. She’s a big girl, and sometimes other dogs can feel intimidated by that. But Ripley? She still shows up. She still plays well in group play. She still trusts.

After spending time back in our training program, she is ready again.

Ready for a family that understands that big dogs need leadership.
Ready for a family that will continue her training (and yes — we provide FREE training support because we want you to succeed).
Ready for a family that won’t give up when life gets hard.

Ripley deserves the forever that sticks.

She deserves the hikes. The couch naps. The structure. The stability. The love.

Let’s get this girl home — for real this time.

If you are ready for a loyal, trained, BIG-hearted companion… Ripley is waiting.

Apply today. Let’s do this. 🧡
