Buddy is 7 or 8 and just lost his owner to cancer. Very laid back and chill but gets the zoomies. Needs large yard with or without a fence. It’s used to staying in his own yard without a leash. Very sweet dog. My other dogs don’t like his large size so we are trying to find him a new home.

Meet Sam!Sam is 5 years old and an absolute sweetheart. He is loving, friendly, smart, and very well-behaved. He has a gentle personality, enjoys spending time with people, and loves receiving affection. He also loves taking long naps and relaxing in his favorite cozy spot. He is house-trained and knows to go potty outside. He does well with cats and gets along well with other dogs, especially his brother, Banji. He is smart, obedient, very affectionate, and loves being close to his family.I’m looking for a responsible, stable, and loving home where he can receive all the attention and companionship he deserves. Due to changes in my current circumstances, I’m no longer able to give him the time and life I want for him, so my priority is finding him a wonderful family.Sam and Banji have grown up together, so it would be wonderful if they could find a home together, but most importantly, I want Sam to have a safe and loving home where he can be happy.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Looking for a fun-loving and adorable new companion? Look no further than Kya! This young female pup is as affectionate as she is curious, friendly, funny, gentle, and smart. Kya loves to play and explore, and she's always up for a good time - whether it's romping around the yard or curling up for a movie night. As an added bonus, she's already housebroken and knows how to use the doggie door - what a smart girl! Best of all, Kya is just adorable, with her big brown eyes and fluffy coat. She's a real head-turner. Just a heads up, Kya hasn't had much interaction with other dogs, so we're not sure how she'd do in a multi-dog household. She'd probably prefer to be the queen of her castle, to be perfectly honest. If you're looking for a furry friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Kya is the girl for you! This Young pup is just bursting with love and energy, and she's eager to find a forever home where she can continue to learn, grow, and thrive. If you think your family might be the right fit for Kya, please come and meet her today - you won't regret it!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 7:53 pm
