OUR SANCTUARY DOGS What are sanctuary dogs.... While the term is often used flexibly, a true animal sanctuary is a place where animals that are unlikely to find a forever home live out their lives surrounded by comfort and all the care they require and desire. As a rule, these dogs are usually not available for adoption due to many different reasons. |

| Rosie | Rocky | Little Bit | Luka |

 |
 |
| Rosie
is a Sanctuary Dog. She’s been here about 4-5 yrs. Rosie came
from a rural shelter , she was a neglect removal. When I first
saw her she was in the back of the kennel in the corner facing
the wall. She wouldn’t make eye contact but her little tail
wagged just a little. I remember when I carried her to the car
she was soo scared she peed and pooped in my arms. Due to her
extreme fear she has remained in our sanctuary where she is very
happy. |
Rocky
is another of our Sanctuary Dogs. He’s been with us for about 5
yrs. His family had fallen on hard times and was forced to move
into an apartment. Rocky didn’t adjust well and had shown some
aggression towards new people and dogs. He does well here on our
farm. He is my Right Hand Man. Goes everywhere with me. My Love. |
This
is Little Bit. She is also a Sanctuary Dog. She’s about 13 yrs
now. She’s been here for about 5-6 yrs. She and her brother
Lucky came to live with us when both mom and dad passed away.
Very antisocial and still is. She loves her mom though. |
This
beautiful girl is Luka. She came to us as a pup as no one wanted
her. She’s the product of stupid breeding. Her mom was a blue
Merle and wht Aussie and dad was a Dalmatian. These are color
breeds and the stupid breeder should not be breeding. Luka is
missing the outside covering of her nose. We don’t even see it
now, but that’s cuz we love her. She is the alpha dog here at
the sanctuary and is very happy. |
| Dug | Aslin | Fern | Angel |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Dug
is a Sanctuary Dog. He is staying here cuz he’s Bad to the Bone.
We love him but he has quite a few bad habits that make it
difficult to find the right home. Dug was the town hobo. He
roamed the town stealing food and getting into trouble. Dog
loves to dig. I mean really dig. No yard can survive his
constant digging but he loves doing it. So our back yard is full
of holes that we fill in for him to dig up again. Dug barks a
lot. He’s a funny little man and we love him. |
Handsome Aslin came when his dad I believe passed away. He had
severe separation anxiety and was 14 yr old when he arrived.
Aslin has gotten over his separation anxiety and has flourished
here the last few years. |
Fern
is a Sanctuary Dog. She was one of our Mill Dogs. It’s taken
over a year to get her to where she might be able to be adopted
but we have decided that due to the fact that I’m the first
person who she’s even connected with and loves that it would be
too traumatic for her to be put into a new situation. |
This
is Angel , she is a Mill Dog and is a Sanctuary Dog. Angel was
our hardest case. So fearful. It’s been over a year and she has
just started letting us approach her without her moving away.
She is just beginning to let us pet her. Touch is something very
unfamiliar to her. She is very happy here and has made some very
slow progress. Angel is a medium sized Doodle. She loves her
yard and all her doggy playmates. |
| Boo Bear | Allie | Tidbit | JuneyB |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Boo Bear is another Mill Dog and is now part of our sanctuary. She has been here for a year. She, more than the others, has been through Hell and back. Boo is only 2 yrs old now. The first year of her life she had dislocated hip and was kept in a crate to keep her from moving around a lot to hopefully let it heal. It did not but it has finally gotten where she gets around well now. After she arrived here she panicked and jumped off the bed and broke her leg. This baby has finally healed physically but mentally is slow progress forward. She is totally attached to me and will be here forever. | This little peanut is Allie. We took her and her brother Kevin when we were contacted by a family member of this dying woman. She was hospice and distraught about what would happen to her babies. We took them. Kevin was adopted but Allie is a diva. She only likes to be petted, held, or picked up when she wants and she will bite. She hates going potty outside but isn’t great about using pee pads. She seems quite happy here and unlikely we’ll have a lot of interest in her. She loves my husband. And Kevin & her were Not bonded. | This
little girl is Tidbit a small Toy poodle. Tidbit is a Mill dog.
We hope that one day she will be adoptable but only time and
patience will tell. Making slow progress. |
This
beautiful little girl is Juney B. She is a Min. Aussie we
believe. Juney is a Mill Dog. Juney s leg was broken so badly
while at the breeders that we had to amputate. She has been here
about a year and has made slow progress. Still afraid to be
petted or picked up. We hope someday she can be adopted. |

Sianna is a very old Shepherd mix and one of our sanctuary dogs.
She has a lot of arthritis and takes life very slowly. She loves
snooping around the farm and sleeping in the shade on a nice
sunny day. She is sweet kind and gentle and we love her very
much. |
