Litter and program updates
Shaela L.
Litter update on 08 Aug •…Dixie will be one year old in November 2026! She is not spayed. She is completely up to date on her vaccines. Price is for limited registration but she could be full registered for an extra charge. Dixie is on the smaller petite size and we love that about her. We have a pressing bill that needs to be paid which is the reason for rehoming :( She is pending now, but submit your applications in case they fall through.

Litter update on 28 July •…Martha Mae is still looking for her home! Martha is SOO sweet and docile. She is very tender hearted and doesn’t like to get in trouble. She’s in a chewing phase so redirection is needed. She loves bully sticks. My friend is currently hosting her at her Elbert property. Martha would love a home where she can come inside and be apart of the family while having a decent yard to play in! She is currently housed with goats and chickens! Doing wonderful! She is young so chicken training NEEDS to continue !
NIO and Rogue's litter
Shaela L.
Litter update on 23 July •…I am making this update because I have never had this happen before and I am so very frustrated/ upset and angry. Remi was living with a Guardian family (a family friend at that) who had agreed to do this litter in exchange for her price. Our friend LOVED this dog up until he got a new girlfriend. He still decided he’d like to do the litter and all. Remi was surrendered to us the day before she gave birth stating that she “bit” a child. The dog was in the first stages of labor and never should have been around a child to begin with. That being said. I have not received a bite incident report that I requested. The reason for surrender on the form is “timid around children”. This is a BS LIE!!! I have hundreds of photos with the dog PLAYING with children!!!! Remi came here EMACIATED!!! She looked like she would have 6 puppies. She had 11! 2 of which were stillborn due to her condition. Remi’s milk is drying due to her condition. Her puppies are not thriving. This is so stressful for myself/ Remi and the puppies. I am so outraged with anger. I will not protect the other party. I am considering legal action. At this time. None of the puppies are available besides the deposits we have already received. I am sorry for a sad update. This has been so difficult.
