Story
Rocky is a boxer/golden retriever mix. He is a very playful, high energy friendly dog. Because of his energy level, he needs hours of exercise and play a day. Not suited to be crated for hours a day. Needs lot of interactive toys to help with boredom and chewing habbits.   He would do best with a home that has active owners and a dog to play with. Fenced in yard would be required. He plays a bit rough, so smaller kids would not be ideal. Is friendly but might need slow introductions to strangers entering the house, can be protective. But is fine after a proper introduction.    He is;   Potty trained Good with cats Good with dogs     Working on; Leash training Crate training      Loves;   Playing fetch  Playing tug of war with toys Running  Exploring "June 10, 2026, 8:56 pm

Story
Hi! My name is Twiggy and I’m so excited that you’re reading my bio! I am a senior and I weigh fifty five pounds. I am a beagle boxer mix and I am the sweetest! I love to relax, it’s really my favorite thing to do and I’m super great at it. I spend a lot of time laying in my favorite chair. I am very low energy and I don’t really play. I do love walks when it’s not too hot. I also really like to go outside and check out the yard. I am housebroken and crate trained and I’m also really quiet. I like other dogs that are friendly and I don’t care about cats at all.June 10, 2026, 8:56 pm

Story
Desdemona is a people person! She loves to give you hugs and kisses and follow you all around the house. She is a medium energy girl and thrives with a balance of exercise and cuddle time. Desdemona originally came from a background where she didn't feel safe and did not have enough food. Because of this, she is leery of other animals and finds children frightening. At this time we are recommending she be adopted as an only pet to a home with no young children.   Desdemona was potty trained for the past several years, but has regressed a little bit upon losing her stable home and coming back into foster care. We've found she does best if you stand outside with her in the yard until she does her business or walk her on leash. Desi really is a very sweet, loving girl. She desperately needs stability and a person to call her own.March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm

Story
Meet  Mopup— knows "Laney” from the adorable Cleaning Crew litter! She is now 6 years old.  True to her original name, this sweet girl is excellent at mopping up love, attention, and every cozy spot on the couch. Laney is a smart, loyal, and affectionate companion who absolutely thrives when she’s with her people. She loves spending time with humans, whether that means relaxing at home, showing off her impressive command skills, or keeping watch over the yard like the devoted little protector she believes she is. She already knows commands like sit, stay, place, and more — it’s clear she had wonderful training early on and enjoys having structure and guidance. Laney’s journey has had a few bumps along the way. She was previously adopted by someone who sadly had to surrender her due to health issues, and because much of her early socialization happened during COVID, she didn’t get the opportunity to build confidence around other dogs and unfamiliar visitors. While she can coexist with some dogs for periods of time, overstimulating situations or high-energy dogs can make her feel anxious and defensive. Her foster family even hoped she could stay permanently because they already have her sister from the same litter — Cleanuroom, now called Leia! Although the sisters share many of the same wonderful qualities and are both loving dogs, they simply do not enjoy sharing space long term. Laney tends to tolerate calmer male dogs better, but rambunctious or overly energetic dogs are not her style. Because of this, she would truly thrive as the only pet in the home where she can fully relax and enjoy being the center of attention. She can also be timid around unfamiliar men in her home, though once she feels safe, her sweet personality begins to emerge. Outside the home she does much better and has already made great progress warming up to trusted people — including her foster dad! Laney simply needs patient humans who understand that trust is earned, and once you earn hers, you’ll have an incredibly devoted companion. This girl is crate trained, house trained, and appreciates a predictable routine. She currently takes anxiety medication, which helps her feel more comfortable and confident. Like many sensitive pups, thunderstorms and fireworks are not her favorite, but Laney has developed her own hilarious coping strategy: she proudly patrols the fence line “barking the thunder away” as if she alone is protecting the neighborhood from the storm. Honestly, it’s pretty adorable. Laney would do best in a calmer home with adults or teenagers who can respect her space and continue building her confidence. She’s playful, goofy, incredibly intelligent, and has so much love to give. Without the stress of other animals around, her fun and affectionate personality truly blossoms. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, a built-in thunderstorm security patrol officer, and a dog who will adore being by your side, Laney may just be your perfect match.    June 10, 2026, 8:56 pm
