Story
Lilly-- What you dream of in a fur baby's story! Lilly is a perfect size fur baby that would be a great addition for someone who wants an active already trained good to go type of dog! She is six years old and ready for her next adventure. She has been loved her whole life and taken excellent care of, but her current environment is no longer one she can thrive in. The young babies and toddler make her to nervous and anxious and it's just not fair to Lilly. Lilly is SO smart, loyal, affectionate, and fun. She is the kind of dog who just wants to be wherever her people are. She loves being included and is happiest when she can hang out right alongside you. Some of Lillys favorite things: Snuggling in bed Going for walks Hiking and exploring Running around and having room to roam Peanut butter Long car rides — she is an absolute champ Being near her people Her crate — she has always genuinely loved her crate and sees it as her safe space Learning and training — she is incredibly intelligent and has been very well trained Being OFF leash and getting to explore — she has been trained for this and absolutely loves it She is house trained; crate trained and comes with her E-collar and everything she needs to continue her training. We truly believe Lilly was made for a home with space, structure, adventure, and someone who wants a best friend by their side. A child-free and ideally dog-free home would probably be her happiest fit, not because she's horrible, but because she prefers to be an only dog and offers so much to someone that a second dog isn't necessary. She would thrive in an environment where she can soak up all the attention. Lilly loves adventure and has been in so many social situations that she is amazing. The best way to begin a potential adoption is to directly EMAIL STORKWOODS@COMCAST.NET and request an application.

Cody is six years old and is a wonderful boy. Unfortunately, he isn't able to get out as much as he should now and needs a new family that can take him on walks. He's loving and gentle and loves to play.

Story
We have made the impossible decision to start looking for a new home for our sweet, goofy Monty boy. With a baby on the way we are unable to give Monty the attention and training he needs. Monty is a 2 year old male border collie/black lab mix. 85 lbs. Neutered, up to date on vaccines.Monty will do best in a single dog home with adults and older teens only. He is good with other dogs but can be protective of toys and treats. He is very active and requires experienced dog owners as ongoing training will be necessary. He is potty trained, crate trained, and knows his basic commands (though, he is stubborn and does not always follow through). Monty enjoys being outside in any and all weather conditions, long (very long) walks, playing with other (big) dogs, snuggling up next to his humans, ear scratches, tearing apart stuffed toys to find the squeaker, and going on car rides. The main reason we are looking to re-home Monty is due to fear based re-activity and resource guarding.

Story
Leela is the sweetest girl who loves to play and cuddle. She is crate trained and house trained. She joined our home May 2024 from her prior owner. Two weeks after bringing her home, signs showed she was losing her sight. The vet confirmed SARDS - Sudden Acute Retinal Degeneration Syndrome. We have confirmed that she cannot see anything - only small bits of light. Her sense of smell is deteriorating as well, so she really relies on her hearing for everything. She needs a home where the owner is home with her the majority of the time and where there are no other animals. She does not get along with any cats or dogs, and I believe that is due to the fact that she simply needs to defend herself since she cannot see.

Story
He requires a lot of attention, he’s very smart. I’ve taught him some tricks. He’s good with the right trainer to teach him to be good with other dogs. I prefer him to be the only dog in home, previous owner told me that he was good with all other pets.
