Life is Better Rescue is a foster based organization. Although this means that we have very little overhead costs, it also means that we can only show our animals by appointment. It also makes it difficult to show multiple animals at a single location, other than a litter or as animals that are being fostered in the same area.

Our experience has taught us that animals adopted together are generally more difficult to train well and have a harder time bonding with the new family, so we do not adopt multiple littermates (either cat or dog) unless there are special circumstances. We don't mind setting up an adoption for another animal at a later date, but we will generally only send one animal home at a time.

We do not have the capability to ship our animals.

Please note the best way to contact us is via e-mail. If you are interested in adopting an animal from Life is Better Rescue, please submit a completed adoption application form. We are unable to evaluate your adoption request unless this form has been submitted to us. Completion of the application does not guarantee adoption of an animal from Life is Better Rescue.

Marcie	Marcie is an 18 month old purebred red Siberian Husky that was saved from a rural area where she did not have many chances of adoption. She has her AKC registration, and is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated, dewormed, and has been heartworm tested negative. She does great with other dogs and children that can handle her husky energy. She has interacted with cats however is a bit too high strung for their comfort (plus her idea of playing is very different than the cats as they don't think being chased is playing), and is WAY too interested in chickens to be considered safe with them. Marcie is crate trained and with monitoring is housetrained as well. She's working on her general obedience but would definitely benefit from further and consistent training. She would love a family that could keep her active with hikes, camping, and jogs or walks to the park. Marcie is $250 to adopt. Back to Top

Dead Pool	Dead Pool is a 9 month old red-eared slider turtle that was rescued from the overcrowded municipal shelter. Dead Pool is $15 to adopt. Back to Top

Wilbur	Wilbur is a 1 year old corgi/golden mix that is looking for a second chance at life. He has some odd dog/dog behavior (in that he can be really great with the dogs in the home, but outside of the home he is worried about protecting his people and doesn't like other dogs approaching.) This means he's not a good candidate for the dog park, but he's a great candidate for a family looking for a wonderful pet. Wilbur is crate and housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, has been flea and tick treated, dewormed, and heartworm tested negative. He would do great in a home with kids. He is not a good dog for a home with livestock. He has so much love in his heart, and wants so much to give it to someone. Could it be you? He is $300 to adopt. Back to Top

He'd be a great family dog (if the children are old enough to respect his smaller size) and he would be easy to exercise so would be a good option for a town home or condo. Niles really wants a person to call his very own, could it be with you? He is $300 to adopt. Back to Top

Nellie	Nellie is a 2 year old chihuahua/pug mix that was rescued from the overcrowded municipal shelter.

Nellie is crate trained and is working on nailing housetraining (but is very good when monitored.) She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated and has been dewormed. She would be an excellent candidate for someone who is looking for a lower energy and maintenance animal to be a part of the family. She is $250 to adopt. Back to Top
Olive	Olive is a 1 year old purebred German Shorthair Pointer that was saved from a rural municipal shelter. She had been a beloved family pet until her owners just couldn't keep her any longer.

She is crate trained and working on house training as well as general obedience. Mindy is $300 to adopt. Back to Top
Morris	Morris is a 10 month old pug mix that was saved from a rural high kill shelter where he stood little chance of adoption. He is like a pug on stilts.

He is working on crate and house training, as well as general obedience, but he takes treats like a gentleman and loves to cuddle on your lap or on the couch. Morris is easy going without a high need for exercise, so would be a good option for someone looking for an apartment or townhome type canine. He is $300 to adopt. Back to Top
Oswald	Oswald is a 5 year old spaniel (maybe papillon based on his ears and tiny size) who was saved from a rural shelter where he had no chance of adoption.

He gets along well with other dogs, seems like he would be fine with cats, and does well with kids of all ages. He is crate trained and seems mostly housetrained with monitoring.

Back to Top
Otis	Otis is a 5 year old spaniel (maybe papillon based on his ears and tiny size) who was saved from a rural shelter where he had no chance of adoption.

Maybel	Maybel is a 10 year old Irish red and white setter that was saved from the overcrowded municipal shelter. Although she is an older lady, she has SO MUCH life and love left to give. She's on some daily pain medication for arthritis, but she's otherwise healthy and just hoping for a nice a comfortable home to spend her golden years in. Maybel is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated and has been dewormed. She appears crate and house trained, does well with other dogs, would be great in a home with kids, and so far seems rather non-reactive with cats. We couldn't leave her in the kennel run at the shelter; she just looked so sad and lost that her people wouldn't come and get her. Although she is older, she is clearly the dog of a lifetime (and has mellowed into the perfect companion.) Maybel is $200 to adopt. Back to Top
Morgan	Morgan is a 10 month old purebred red merle Australian shepherd that was saved from the over crowded municipal shelter. She has the most adorable "smile" where at first you think she is baring her teeth, until you realize she is just letting you know she adores attention and grins at you. Morgan is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated and has been dewormed. She appears crate and housetrained, and does well with other dogs. She is a very smart girl, and picks up obedience and tricks quite quickly, so she would love an active family to help keep her busy. She would be amazing for hikes or jogs, and she can't wait for her family to find her. Morgan is $300 to adopt. Back to Top
Mona	Mona is an 8 year old purebred teacup chihuahua that was saved from the overcrowded municipal shelter. She is less than 4 pounds, but doesn't act like anything but a normal dog. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated as well as dewormed. Mona is great with other dogs, would be fine around cats, and while she does well with children, based on her small size she should ideally go to a home with older kids or ones that know how to be soft and gentle (so they don't accidentally break her.) She is crate trained and appears housetrained. This little lady is everything you could ask for in a quiet, pocket sized companion. Mona is $200 to adopt. Back to Top
Maddox	Maddox is a 3 year old Jack Russel Terrier that was saved from the overcrowded municipal shelter. He is a super outgoing and spunky guy that loves to please and learn new things. He already knows some basic obedience (like sit and down), and he seems crate and housetrained when given a reminder in a new setting. He wants very much to please and is a wonderful dog that will make an excellent addition to a family that wants an interactive companion. Maddox is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated, and has been dewormed. He seems to do well with other dogs and would do great with kids. All in all, he's a great ambassador for this breed, and while he might have a lot of energy, he has a willingness and a love that make him absolutely worth it. He's ready for his next life adventure! Maddox is $250 to adopt. Back to Top
Grover	Grover is a 2 month old Wirehaired Terrier mix that was saved from an overcrowded municipal shelter that practices euthanasia. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, flea/tick treated and is crate trained. Grover is $300 to adopt. Back to Top

Petal	Petal is an 8-10 month old Anatolian mix that was rescued from an area where she had little to no chance of adoption. She's a bit of a slinky dog in that she creeps on her belly in New situations, but she LOVES tummy rubs and when given a few minutes tends to warm up and adore whomever is on the other end of the leash. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and tick treated, dewormed, and has been. heartworm tested negative. She does fine with people of all ages and with other dogs, she seems like she would also be fine with cats. She just need someone with a little patience to give her a chance. She is crate trained and working on house training while in foster. She would make an amazing hiking or walking partner, but most of all would adore a family to love. She is $300 to adopt. Back to Top
Mitzi	Mitzi is a 10 month old chihuahua/dachshund mix that was saved from the overcrowded municipal shelter. She is a honey love of a puppy, and only weighs about 6 pounds.
