Gracie - Adopted November 2014

Our story is a lesson in thinking you know the type of dog you think will mesh the best with you and your pack (furry and otherwise). I originally wanted to rescue a senior dog but after looking into one particular dog, realized she wouldn't have been a good fit with our other two dogs. We continued...

Adelaide- Adopted October 2015

I adopted Adelaide last October. She is a prize! She is such a good girl. She is the first dog I have EVER had that isn't destructive in one way or another. She's so cute with her one ear up and one ear down and she is a star at the dog park. She is a little stealth bomber, sneaking up on dogs by cr...

Luke - Adopted March 2015

My husband and I adopted "Bobble", a black lab/German Shepherd in March of 2015. It was a lovely experience working with the volunteers as they really help you look for the right dog for your family. We have been given the opportunity to give "Bobble" a loving home where he is pl...

Lauren - Adopted July 2014

First best thing I have ever done. I adopted my dog over a year ago. When she arrived it was evident she was very mistreated. Her name is Lauren. She was found in a dumpster with three puppies. Lauren did not want to play and wanted little human contact. Now I call her "Dumpster to Diva". ...

Timmy - Adopted April 2014

It was Spring of 2014 and my precious Black Lab had been an "only child" for three years since the loss of my loving Great Dane/Black Lab mix in 2011. We enjoyed countless adventures, all of which can be difficult with multiple dogs in tow. How I knew the time was right remains undetermine...

Madelyn Elizabeth - Adopted July 2014

Wow, where do I begin? My husband and I had been casually looking at adopting a dog for a while. We'd visit our local humane society every few weeks and met a lot of great furry friends, but none of them seemed right for us. We came across JR's Pup-N-Stuff online and saw a lot of pups we wanted to m...

Flora (Adopted Feb 2014) and Marley (Adopted Aug 2015)

Two of our three dogs are JR's alum! We adopted Flora (formerly Feta) on February 14, 2014 at the age of about 10 weeks old. Flora is our Border Collie mix who loves to chase all manner of animal out of our yard and up trees. She loves long walks, playing in the water, and belly rubs. Flora was an a...

Murphy - Adopted January 2014

Almost 2 years ago, we adopted Murphy. It was hard at first seeing as how we had bought our first house 2 months prior and had our first daughter a month prior. Everyone said we were crazy for rescuing a dog, especially a mastiff, during all that commotion. My wife and I said we wanted our daughter ...

Walter - Adopted September 2014

After 10 years of saying "I don't want a dog", I finally caved into my husband and started looking at adoptables online. I saw a photo of an Australian Shepherd online one day and said THAT's the dog I want! In browsing petfinder.com, I saw a sweet Aussie mix - who happened to be a tripod....

Devy - Adopted January 2015

After I lost my dog to cancer I swore I'd never get another dog. About 9 months later I found myself stalking rescues facebook page when I found JRs. Then I decided to do the application process so when I was ready, it would be quick. Well...I guess I was ready right away, when I saw "Bellatrix...
