Story
I originally adopted Ren during a chaotic and stressful time in my life in 2018. She is now 10-ish years old but she doesnt let her age slow her down. Well, maybe a little bit. Shes a cuddly goofball and her favorite place to be is cuddled up in a blanket. She does take a thyroid medication every day, but has no issues when its tossed on top of her morning kibbles or given in a treat. Shes very smart, and very stubborn, and will force her cuddles upon you whether you want them or not. She has been my best friend for 7 years but I am moving internationally and am unable to take her with me to my new home. My dream is for her to be loved in a home with a very tall fenced in yard so she can run as fast and jump as high as she wants. She is anxious when it comes to other anxious dogs but has been successfully socialized before with large breed, chill/relaxed dogs.

Story
Meet Emmy Emmy is a sweet, lovable girl who’s ready to be someone’s loyal companion. She adores belly rubs, snuggling on the couch, and chewing on her favorite squeaky toys—especially her beloved plastic Kong squeaker. She’s both pad-trained and outdoor potty-trained, and she enjoys going for leash walks to sniff and explore. While she has bursts of energy, Emmy is also gentle and will happily settle down beside you once you sit. Ideal Home Emmy needs to be the only pet—she cannot be around other dogs, indoors or outdoors. A private, fenced yard would be perfect so she can run and get her exercise. She has not been around children or cats. Health Emmy had a small stroke a few months ago due to an abnormal heart and now takes two types of affordable heart medication for life. She is up to date on all vaccinations and vet care. Why You’ll Love Her If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will happily keep you company on the couch but still enjoy a walk.

Story
Lucy showed up in our yard around 2 years ago. She was really sweet, if not a little anxious, and was extremely attached to us and our other dog. Come this year, and she started acting out against our other dog which forced us to make the decision to re-home her. She’s still extremely affectionate but she is a high energy dog and we do not have the time to work her like she needs.

Hueytown, AL

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rescued this baby from a bad situation, but am not able to keep her myself. She’s around 9 weeks old, very sweet and eager to please. She has had her first round of puppy vaccines, been dewormed and is currently on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. She’s currently sharing a house with another dog, cats and small child so she should be able to blend flawlessly into any household. She’s doing well with house and crate-training plus some basic commands. Very food motivated so I’m confident she’ll be easy to mold into your ideal companion.
