Meet Little Joe, Brown Pup, and Lucy (cow-looking pup), now fully grown at ages 2yo & 3yo respectively. These pups are the king of the castle and allow us to live with them in their air conditioned and heated home. When they are not tugging, bumping into each other, chasing and bouncing around playing they are snoozing and cuddling with their humans. They have trained their humans to read their subtle body language and expressions when its time for treats.
There is no greater joy than to sit back and watch the excitement when they are playing together. Tossing toys in the air and catching, bumbling around to a battle of the tug that neither gives up. No matter how little or how much is on the ground they love the snow but the deeper the better.
What started off with one being the runt of the litter needing medical attention at 8 weeks old(Lucy) and a chance meeting in a park one Friday afternoon meeting someone who fell on hard times looking to give Little Joe, 13 weeks old, a good home turned into our great fortune. A bond that has formed that leaves an empty space whenever we are not with them. Each and every day is just as exciting as the last. A true gift, we are fortunate to have them in our lives.

It's February time for a little kissing and a little pooching (smooching). Look at their noses they form a heart, just in time for Valentines! Make sure you rub noses with someone this month.
These two are adorable King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Boyd (Brown/White) and AVA (Black/White) from the show Justified. They are 6 months old and cared for my Cooper, Jill & John.





She has lived in Western North Carolina her whole life, but has been on many road trips in her dads 2017 Subaru Outback that he bought specifically to haul her and her Doggo friends around in...




Boo is our little, Chihuahua mix, rescue, which we've had for 12 years. We think he's around 16 years old.
He's totally deaf and can't see very well but his nose still works. One of his favorite things to do is go on walks and find new smells.
The more old and pitiful he becomes, the more "spoiled rotten" he gets! He likes to be hand fed his morning biscuits and right before bedtime, he gets a small bowl of shredded chicken!
Boo's BFF is a Great Pyrenees named Samson. After they greet and touch noses, they like to see which one can raise their leg the highest! (You can probably guess who wins that contest.)
Boo doesn't know he's getting old. He's always happy and every day is a new adventure for him.
Boo may be Prestige Subaru's "Dog of the Month", but to us, Boo is our dog of the month all year long!

Meet Little Joe, cared for by our very own Matt Gregor. Originally he had an uncertain future with his owner falling on hard times until a chance meeting in a park at 13 weeks old turned into a wonderful addition to our home that could not be imagined without him. Now all grown up at over 1 year old he is a loving pup that has enriched the lives of both his furry & human family. Side by side with his sister pup, Lucy - a 2+yo Great Pyrenees & Lab Mix, and 3 cats he is very happy. He loves to play in the snow and to cuddle in front of the fireplace. Not sure who is luckier, Little Joe or the family that gets to call him theirs.

This is Rutzer. Proud owner of our Internet Sales Manager, Delina Hensley. Rutzer's favorite games are playing with Q-Tips, batting around loose dog kibble, and watching the wildlife out on the back deck. Being the youngest member of all the fur babies, Rutzer also makes it his sole duty to antagonize all of the other members of the household. This important job is meant, not only for his furry brothers. He also makes it a point to give both his moms a bit of grief on the daily as well. However, he always makes sure to get in a good snuggle...but don't pet too long!

Meet Randy! Also known as Randall Conway Leadbetter.This cute little peanut is 16 years young and is the stepson of Delina Hensley, a member of our Internet Sales Team. Randy enjoys long naps on the couch, and by long we mean...most of the day. He's losing some of his sight, so he also enjoys barking at the air around him when he 'senses' danger. Of course, he's only trying to protect his mama, Nicole. Nothing much else bothers this little guy except a kiss on the face. Kisses are strictly prohibited. Other than smooches of affection being off limits, Randy really enjoys the company of both his moms and taking over his cat brother's couch space because with Randy, it's always good time to nap.

Our names are Sophia and Bruce Noll and we live in North Asheville. I was joking with my husband five years ago that I was pregnant with a dog. After going thru some difficult times I felt this huge need for a dog. Border Collies had been one of my favorites so I started searching on a rescue site called Phoenix Rising Border Collie Rescue each night. Then one night around midnight I saw Kaylee, a red and white Border Collie, on their page. I immediately inquired asking if I could be the first on the list in adopting her and the next morning I received a "YES" in an email.
The adoption process began and within two weeks we were driving to Rutherfordton to meet her and her foster mom. It was love at first site! Her foster mom said that Kaylee had been found in Greensboro, NC walking along the road and then taken to a near by shelter. After no one claimed her the PRBC Rescue stepped in.
I also had the dream of having a Therapy Dog that would bring comfort to others. Before we went home that day we stopped by a pet store to get her a toy. In the isle we met a mentally challenged individual who was drawn to her instantly! His face lit up with the biggest smile as he stroked her head. And Kaylee? Well she loved it!! The whole experience brought tears to my eyes.
She is now a Registered Therapy Dog. She has worked with Paws With a Mission and been to UNCA to offer her love to the students. Wherever we are strangers with stop and say, "What a sweet spirit that dog has!" She just wags her tail and smiles. She knows no stranger and loves people and we of course love her to the moon and back.
Her favorite activity is going for rides in her Subaru Outback! All she needs to hear is, "Do you want to go bye bye?"

This is Tucker! Tucker is a rescue pup from Last Chance Rescue in Waldorf, MD. He traveled pretty far to find his forever family, as he was originally found in Mississippi. The first time Tucker and I saw each other, it was love at first sight! We had an instant connection and have been inseparable ever since! Tucker is about 10 months old and loves tennis balls (even though he loses most of them under the couch), squeaky toys, peanut butter, honey ham, his puppy friends, and his family. He is a happy boy who loves running around with other puppies and playing all day. But, he's also just as happy curling up on the couch with his family and watching a movie. Tucker is a great pup and we are so lucky that he found us!
