Peanut – Located in Central WI

Active family with older children home.


Peanut is 18mos and a bundle of pure puppy energy. He’s a very good boy for his age – he plays gently with his mouth when roughhousing with humans, respects other dogs’ boundaries, and is not destructive (though he is still a young dog and isn’t above stealing tissues to shred). Outside of the house, he’s amazing in the car and LOVES walks but would love to run more! When he’s outside he’s got two modes, fast and faster. This guy would appreciate a nice big securely fenced yard to run the “Peanut 500” in when he’s not happily playing fetch. If you’re looking for an active companion or a young, bright dog to try your hand at dog sports with, Peanut is your guy.

Despite his need for speed and zest for life, Peanut believes in a balanced lifestyle and is happy to fall asleep in your arms for a cozy TV binge day. He goes above and beyond in everything, and cuddling is no exception.

He will thrive in an active home as he loves walks, runs and playing. Fenced in yard would be best for this little explorer. At his foster home he sleeps where he likes, in bed with a foster family member or in one of the dog beds in the room.

All of our available dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, spayed/neutered as well as being micro-chipped.

If you’d like to tackle life’s adventures with a plucky young pup at your side, follow the instruction on the application.

Blu – Located near Racine, Wi

Blu is a 2 year old/approximately 10 lbs., who has had a difficult start in life.  We were contacted by the shelter that saved her and they explained that she had a condition called Cherry eye in both of her eyes.  We took her in and was able to correct the condition. She is temporarily wearing a cone collar to protect her eyes while they heal. 

She does very well with the other dogs and cats in her foster home and even goes to doggy daycare occasionally. Blu likes to go for walks and does very well on a leash. She needs some work on basic commands and manners but seems to be a quick learner. She is crate trained,  will not soil in the crate and is making big improvements on overall potty training.

All of our available dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, spayed/neutered as well as being micro-chipped.

Rico – Located near Racine, WI

Say hi to Rico, a 6-yr old Yorkie looking for his forever home!
At first Rico is shy, but he has done a really good job, at warming up with a bit of love and some snacks. We are still overcoming some sensitivities, but he has been doing better at trusting people every day!

Rico loves to tuck himself into blankets and nap. Once comfortable, he loves playing with toys (especially the squeaky ones).  Rico is a bit of a homebody, not crazy about the cold, he appreciates the outside sniffs but then wants to run right back to the warm house.

He does great in a kennel overnight and is usually quiet the entire time. Rico is not much of a talker at home, but he will bark if he can hear someone coming into the house, or if he’s in a crate and needs to go out.

Rico is great with cats, and other dogs.

All of our available dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, spayed/neutered as well as being micro-chipped.

Bella – Located in Racine Wi. 

Bella is a, less than one year old who is sweet, friendly, and goofy gal who loves to explore and play. Her curiosity knows no bounds, and she is always up for a new adventure. Bella’s antics will bring her forever family lots of laughs and there’s nothing she enjoys more than a good game of fetch. As a pully she’s full of energy, but when she done with zoomies she loves a good cuddle session.

All of our available dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, spayed/neutered as well as being micro-chipped.

Bella is looking for her forever family to share her playfulness and cuddles.

Max Located in Milwaukee, WI


Max is about 2-4 years old, a long haired chihuahua.  He is very over weight at 9 lbs. and we are working on getting him to a healthy weight. Max loves to run in the snow, housetrained, if taken out on a regular basis.  When his foster mom is at work, piddle pads are available for him and he will go there if needed.

He loves his numerous beds and any one of them will work.  Tummy rubs are a must and then a little kiss for good luck.  When it’s bedtime he will go out one more time, then off the bed.  He does sleep in his own bed next to the big bed, and sleeps the night away. He seems to know the word “bedtime”.  

In the morning he is ready to get up, he will greet you and wait to go outside.  Then back inside he will wait for his breakfast.  Max is not much of a barker.  He will let you know if someone is around that he doesn’t know.  He seems polite with everyone he meets.  I do keep toys for him that he likes to carry around to where he is sleeping.  To keep active, playing with him with his toys is fun. 

All of our available dogs have had complete physical/medical exam. Treated for any issues presented, spayed/neutered as well as being micro-chipped.

When our dogs are ready for adoption, our foster parents have had time to evaluate them and determine their needs for a new home. We have created an Adoption Process that will ensure a smooth and safe transition from our rescue to your family. Our top priority is ensuring our Maltese go to the best possible forever home.
