Meet the sweetest little boy around. Smuckers is a 8 week-old-lab mix.  Smuckers is the perfect combination of being laid back and seconds later ready to play. He is in a foster home with both big and small dogs. He does very well around both. He’s also wonderful with kiddos, but remember he’s a puppy and they have shark like teeth, which can be painful at times. He really good about correcting that puppy behavior with a toy or treats. Crate training is coming along. He’s not the biggest fan of it quite yet, but with some work and dedication he’ll soon love the kennel for a good nights rest. Being only 8 weeks old Smuckers is catching onto the potty training. He’ll definitely need some work to get it all the way and I’m sure there, but he’s a smart boy and will catch on in no time. Is this sweet boy pulling at your heartstrings? 

Luna is a 4-month-old Chihuahua mix parvo survivor and weighs 10lbs. She’s dog/cat/people friendly of all sizes. Luna is crate, potty and leash trained and uses training pads if she can’t get out in time. She does well to learn basic commands and enjoys being awarded or praised.  Luna loves her walks, people, toys and entertains herself while you are busy. In general Luna is loving, alert, affectionate. She would fit in with any size of family. Would she be the right companion for you?

Hi, I’m Justin! My brother and I are named after Justin Fields, go Buckeyes! I’m an 8-10 week old German Shepherd mix who will grow to be a medium to large dog. I’m an easy-going, lovey puppy who loves all the attention and cuddles I can get. I love all toys and I’m learning to play fetch - I just haven’t learned the returning part quite yet! I’m learning to sleep through the night and well on my way to being potty trained. My foster mom is obsessed with my ears. Do you blame her? Sometimes they’re up, down, sideways - it’s hard to control them.

Hi, I’m Fields! My brother and I are named after Justin Fields, go Buckeyes! I’m an 8-10 week old German Shepherd mix who will grow to be a medium to large dog. I’m a confident, laid back puppy who is happy outside, happy in my crate, or happy just playing by myself. My tail is always waggin, I’m just a happy boy!  I’m learning to sleep through the night and well on my way to being potty trained. My foster mom calls me a little adventurer! I’m looking for my forever family who will take me on all their adventures with them!

Haley is a perfect sweet 5 month old pup with a gentle, timid little soul. She aims to please her humans. Crate trained, never cries, potty trained and never makes a mess. Loves everyone, kids, dogs and all animals. She loves to nap and snore on your lap and to be close by her family. She will definitely make the perfect addition to any loving family!

Edy is a spunky 3-month-old boxer mix, who arrived at her foster’s house skittish and scared, but has quickly warmed to her temporary family. Edy loves wrestling with her foster family’s dog, running around the backyard with her brother, and sleeping with his head curled up on her back. She is great with other dogs and kids, and is doing a good job learning the things puppies need to learn, like how to sleep through the night and go potty outside. Edy would be a wonderful addition to any loving home!

Breyer is a snuggly 3-month-old boxer mix, who may be a little smaller than his sister, but he has just as much personality. He loves sneaking up on Edy in the backyard and pouncing on her when she least expects it. Breyer has spurts of energy, but for the most part, is a laid back, easy-going dog. He is doing great learning how to go potty outside and is learning how to sit on command. Breyer is a ‘fur-ever’ story waiting to happen!

Hi, My name is Bradley and I was recently rescued from a shelter in South Carolina. My brother was also rescued, thank goodness, because I love him so much. We were really excited when we heard we were headed to our new foster home. My foster mom tells me I'm about 13 weeks old and I weigh around 19 pounds. We think I'm a hound mix. I'm a really lovable chocolate brown mixed breed with super cute wrinkles on my face and beautiful blue eyes. I came to the shelter with a common puppy skin condition called Demodex and I was pretty itchy. Luckily, a nice doggie doctor gave me some medicine and I'm already feeling so much better. My itchy fur spots (visible in my photos - round white patches) will be all gone very soon and I'll be as handsome as ever. In addition to healing my skin, I've also been very busy at my foster home learning new skills. I'm almost completely potty trained and I know the word potty now. My foster mom is so proud of me because I'm able to sleep all night without any accidents.  During the day, I like to play outside with the children at my foster home, take long naps and hang with the family’s big dogs, I love trying to keep up with the big dogs when we play chase.  My foster mom says she can send you some funny videos if you'd like to see us in action. My other favorite activity is "chewing". I have lots of chew toys that make me happy because my new teeth are coming in and it helps a little if I chew on things. I like old (clean) socks dipped in chicken broth and frozen. They feel so good on my teeth. I also like my LickiMat frozen with peanut butter. Yummy! I even have my very own wooden spoon I can chew on when I need to. Pretty great! In the evening, I like to snuggle with my foster mom during the family's TV time. Like most puppies, I absolutely LOVE to be loved. Humans and other doggies are the best and I want to be around them all the time. They make me happy and I return the favor by giving them lots of my special puppy smooches. Do you have anyone in your family that might need my puppy smooches? If you do, I'm your guy. 

​Mirabelle is a 21 lb, 4-year-old spaniel mix who is housebroken, crate training AND dog friendly! Mirabelle would love a person who…
-thinks old school fanny packs are a fashion statement piece, rides a unicycle, wins the annual belly flop contest at the neighborhood pool, and isn’t embarrassed easily in public by her sporadic outbursts if strangers get too close.
-scrolls for funny animal videos, texts their friends constantly with dog pics, documents every move their pets make, buys matching outfits, and will appreciate the over-excited greetings from the Tasmanian devil herself when you get home after work and she spins like a tornado in the hallway overjoyed that you’ve walked through the front door
-isn’t swayed by multi-level marketing schemes, has never bought an “as seen on tv” product, turns away door to door salespersons without a care in the world, walks by the volunteer ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, declines to buy from the Girl Scout cookie stand, and won’t hesitate to hurt someone’s feelings by saying “no, you can’t pet my dog”
-walks down dark alleys, swims with sharks, bungee jumps, cliff dives, and laughs in the face of danger—or at least laughs at her trying to look dangerous with her “vicious barking”
-makes people take their shoes off in the house, requests guests take the linens off the bed on their last day, sets a curfew, sets boundaries, and otherwise is comfortable expecting visitors to follow the house rules—leave the dog alone
-uses a towel as a blanket on the beach, never sets the AC below 76°, would never dream of living in Alaska, appreciates fluffy pillows, and would opt for a living heating pad to nap with on the couch
-shops at thrift stores, loves a good find on Facebook marketplace, subscribes to rent the runway, only drives used cars, upcycles furniture found on the curb that others considered trash, is an avid yardsaler, and appreciates the beauty that others have clearly missed because this girl is a true gem
-the hostess with the mostest, puts little chocolates on the pillow when someone is coming to visit, wants everyone to feel welcome, keeps condiments on hand that they’d never use but someone might want siracha on taco Tuesday, lights candles in the half bath, offers the plumber a water within the first five minutes, and will go above and beyond to help her feel at home
-enjoys life’s little oddities, is mesmerized by humming birds, holds endless curiosity for the world’s strangest things, has weird friends, would lay down on the sidewalk to make friends with a turtle, and someone who receives her little nose nibbles as the greatest act of love

Meet Ben, a three-month old boxer mix! Ben is as sweet and easygoing as they come. He loves to play with his toys, chow down on treats and kibble, and snuggle up with his brother Jerry. Ben is a total lover, always eager to shower you with kisses and cuddles. He is naturally friendly and trusting of all humans and other dogs. He’s also very food-motivated, which will make training him that much easier. Ben deserves the absolute best that life has to offer. A family that is looking for a new best friend and has the time to shower Ben with affection and attention would be the best fit for him. This puppy has a heart of gold and will be an excellent companion. He is as sweet as pie… or a bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day! Don’t miss the chance to snap this precious little guy up. He is simply one-of-a-kind.

Say hello to Heart! We believe Heart is partially/mostly deaf so she is looking for an incredible family to adopt her. Being deaf doesn't hold her back, Heart is an active one-year-old terrier mix. If you like long walks, runs, or hikes then Heart would be perfect for you. She also loves playing fetch in the backyard or tug with her foster. And at the end of the day she likes to snuggle up next to you. Heart is in a foster home with dogs, and gets along well with other dogs, but she does benefit from being fed separately from other dogs. She would be better in a home with older kids who understand how to interact with a deaf dog.  She is potty trained and sleeps in her crate all night. She also understands some basic hand signals. After being found tied to pole, she is eager to find a forever family who will never abandon her again.

Meet Hotch! He is around 7 months old. He is currently in the house with another dog and a cat. Hotch and his feline foster sister tend to avoid each other but he loves playing with other dogs. He also has a huge love for chew toys. Hotch is crate trained and has yet to have an accident in his crate while his fosters are at work. He is still working hard on potty training outside of his crate. Hotch has a goofy and fun personality. He would thrive in a house with a fenced backyard where he can run and play or a household who will keep him active. Hotch is very friendly and loves being with his people. He will make a great addition to any family. ​

Hi! My name is Doodle! I just graduated from basic obedience and my foster is a professional dog trainer! I got so lucky. She loves me a lot and I get to hang out with dogs all the time. Some of them are great. Some are a little rowdy, but she’s really good at letting me meet new friends I’ll have the most fun with, the ones who won’t jump in my face. I don’t like that. I don’t remember how I ended up at the shelter a few years ago, but Halfway There Rescue came through one day and they found me a really nice family where I lived the last few years. But recently I started to worry because something was off. My happy family seemed sad. Everyone’s mood was changing. There were a lot of tears because someone was sick. They cried when they dropped me off at a different shelter. I know it must have been bad. I don’t think they wanted to leave me. The very next day Halfway There was at the shelter looking for me! At my foster’s house I get to go on adventures and learn all kinds of things. My good girl manners are really coming along. My favorite reward is human attention—it makes me so happy! There aren’t any small children at my house, but I see them at the park and I love the way they scratch my head. Speaking of, those head scratches are the best. I really lean in for those. Anyway, I’d love to meet you. I’m really hoping my next family will be my last. But until then, I’m loved and well taken care of and I’ll keep learning how to be the bestest girl ever. That way when you meet me you’ll want to take me home!

Love,
Doodle

Periwinkle (affectionately known as Wink or Winkie) is excited for her forever home! This life of the party is about 10 months old and 24 lbs of sunshine.  Found abandoned on the side of the road with her brother, this sweet girl has had quite a journey.  She came to our rescue extremely malnourished and needing emergency surgery for a prolapsed rectum.  Unfortunately, it was soon determined that she would need a second, more extensive surgery to correct her injury.  That surgery was a success and she has since become a healthy and happy puppy!  She does still leak small amounts of stool sometimes but is comfortable wearing a stylish little diaper around the house. Wink already knows kennel up, sit, down, free, and is a rock star with crate and house training.  She’s super food motivated and has a lot of fun with training.  No adventure is too big or small for her, she’s great in the car, and loves people and other dogs.  This little lady would love nothing more than to be someone’s best pal and sidekick! ​

Gandolf, what a little lover he is!! Gandolf is all about attention, snuggles and wet sloppy kisses! Just look into his sweet little eyes and you will see what a good soul he is. He is great with other dogs and loves kids so much. When not playing with my dog or his foster sister Zia, he is right by his foster's side. He's a shadow and follows his person everywhere. He loves to lay down and curl up right next to you. He has the cutest little snore as well! Gandolf is working on being house broken but is almost there. He does great in a crate at night and when crated during the day.  He is the perfect size dog as well, not too big and not too small.  Gandolf just has the sweetest, calmest temperament. He will make someone very happy!

Meet Dodger Blue! He is a 7-month-old sweet, baby boy who has come a very long way.  Dodger was found on the side of the road with his sister. Both had prolapsed rectums.  Halfway There Rescue jumped in to save their lives with emergency surgery.  Recovery was ruff and there was a lot of uncertainty about what their futures would look like.  He has made leaps and bounds.  While in recovery, Dodger has become crate and potty trained, but he does experience leaks from time to time.  Dodger loves his foster-dog sister and his two foster-cat sisters. He loves nothing more than cuddles, scratches, chasing balls, and walks. He has been good with our neighbors' children and runs to the fence to see them when they are outside so he can get some extra love. He is finally learning to be a puppy after a difficult first 6 months of life. He cannot wait to cuddle with his furever family!

Sandy haired with a sparkly personality. Ruby is an older adult with puppy energy. She likes to play with toys and LOVES to chase balls. She’s great on a leash, crate trained, a perfect car rider. When she’s not playing, she loves to snuggle, which is fantastic because she’s so soft and cuddly. She needs a calm house without small kids. She is anxious around other dogs; she would be best as a solo doggo. She requires careful handling when it’s necessary to pick her up. Hopefully her confidence will build as she learns to trust new people. 

Mary Jane is a three year old husky mix who, if she could speak, would have quite a story to tell. At a little less than a year old, Mary Jane got loose at the home of her family, while living outside, and was hit by a car. Her previous owners came home to find her pulling herself, by her front paws, back to the house while dragging the back half of her body. While her owners decided the “humane” thing to do would be to “put her out of her misery”, a Halfway There volunteer intervened immediately and raced her to the emergency vet. That decision would literally save Mary Jane’s life. 

After being initially diagnosed with a broken leg and fractured pelvis, Mary Jane underwent surgery and was brought into a loving foster home to recuperate. After being in foster care a short time, it was realized that Mary Jane was showing some concerning signs that her injury may be more severe than initially diagnosed. She had not regained proper bladder and bowel control, and after a week was not yet up and walking. After another thorough exam and full body xrays (emergency vet had only taken partial images), a much more severe injury was revealed. Mary Jane had sustained a broken back and significant nerve damage when she had been hit by the car. Her future uncertain, Mary Jane’s foster family was determined to not give up on her and support her recovery. They believed that with faith, love, and patience, Mary Jane would have a good quality of life and be able to be considered healthy and adoptable. 

Mary Jane’s foster family continued to provide the love and care she needed to recover, and after several more weeks it was a true miracle that Mary Jane was able to walk again. As a matter of fact, two years after she has come into foster care, Mary Jane has regained the ability to run, jump, and play just like every other dog. Aside from a slight limp, this little lady is the life of the party. She loves playing tug of war with toys and running around the yard with her foster siblings. Mary Jane enjoys going to the dog park, and she has truly never met a stranger. Even the kitties in her current foster home give her “two paws up.” Although Mary Jane’s recovery has been remarkable, she has not regained control of her bowels or bladder. To compensate for this, Mary Jane does need to wear diapers. She doesn’t mind at all though, and is patient and trusting of everyone, making her condition relatively easy to manage. 

After more than two years in foster care, Mary Jane is looking to find her perfect forever family. She is a sweet and loving soul, who longs to be with people and truly appreciates every moment of life she has been given. Although she is adored and loved by the entire Halfway There family, it is our dream that Mary Jane will find her own home, complete with people who understand her needs and just how special she truly is. ​
