OUR STORY...

These sweet sisters are darling, healthy pups who have come a long way from the straggly, starving puppies found along a rural street on a freezing morning in mid-December. Their mother appeared to be an Aussie-mix, so that is what we are calling these little girls as well. They appear to have had very minimal socialization prior to coming here, but they are blossoming now and will continue to do so when they have some one-on-one attention in their new Forever Homes.

Back at the Rescue Ranchette

The girls are all back at the main rescue now. Hopefully their families will find them soon! They have all come so far and are genuinely sweet and lovely puppies who will make wonderful companions for some lucky adopters.


The girls could also use Foster Homes in the meantime. If you think you could take one (or more!) of these sweeties into your home while they wait for adoption, please fill-out an online Foster Application or send us an email!

Will You Be My Valentine? (Poppy)



Poppy is healing well from her surgery, and is on her way to another foster home today. We will miss the sweet girl.

Poppy Recovers

Poppy was spayed, microchipped and vaccinated today. She was nervous on the ride there, and just huddled in my lap as I drove. I picked her up and she was tired, but when she spied me her tail just started wagging. Then she was nervous again on the way home, but still groggy enough to sleep most of the way. Again, her tail started wagging when we walked into the house, and she knew she was safe again. She is now resting in a crate comfortably. This is one step closer to her forever home.

Cover Girl - Poppy

"Ok, Poppy, give me shy, I need to see shy and bashful."


"Good, Good, now I need to see sad and lonesome. Act like you are thinking about your forever home, and you just can't wait any longer."


"Alright, Poppy, now I need playful, frisky, puppy-stuff!"

Where's Poppy?


I could not find Poppy in Chewy's crate, nor on the backdoor mat, and she was quiet. "Where had she gone?" I wondered. I found her snuggled up on the couch with sick Rowan today.

No Help At All - Poppy


Poppy wanted to help change the bed today, which mostly consisted of her bounding all over the bed as I wrangled the sheets on. I would go to snatch her off the bed and she would roll over just out of my grasp. Finally, I caught her, and told her she would have to get off the bed and I got this...

Poppy Rings The Doggie Bells!

Today Poppy rang the bells to go outside to go potty. She has adjusted a bit to the weather, but insists on getting her business done and coming inside immediately.

She was very cuddly today, and just laid in my lap and took a nap this morning while I read a book. Then she tried to eat some crayons, but the cuddling was nice. :)

Cuddle Flower - Poppy

Poppy enjoys spending time in the crate with Chewy. She has been sleeping alone in the crate at night, and is doing really well with crate training in that respect.

She continues to win our hearts with her sweet and gentle nature, and her puppy antics. She loves dogs almost as much as she loves people.

She knows how to sit, and whenever I enter the kitchen (where she eats) she is at my feet, sitting, waiting in anticipation of being fed. She also appears to be very treat motivated.

You Want Me To Go Where? (Poppy)

Well, Poppy has not taken to the change in weather well. She clearly prefers to be inside. We had a little setback today, as she protested going out in the rain to go potty. She usually bolts out the door with the other dogs, but today, she froze at the threshold of the doorway, contemplating if it was worth it to go outside. Most of the time, she decided it was not and had to be carried, against her own will to her potty spot.
