Story
Hello, this is Banji! He is 5 years old—an adorable sweetheart! He is energetic and playful, friendly, very obedient, and intelligent. He gets along well with cats and with his brother, Sam. He is looking for a home where he will receive lots of love, and he is already house-trained! I am placing him up for adoption because, given my current circumstances, I am afraid he would end up all alone. Things have become difficult, and I don't want him to be left homeless! I am giving up a true treasure; ideally, they would be adopted together, as he and Sam are brothers.

Story
Hey, this is Sam. He's a great guy—smart, calm, and friendly with cats. He loves to sleep and is very peaceful. He's looking for a home where he'll receive lots of love—a place where he'll get companionship and attention. Up for adoption! Things have gotten difficult, and I don't want him to end up alone without a home. I am giving up a true treasure—and what could be better than for them to go together? He and Banjie are brothers.

Story
We met Rusty when he was born. His mom was a Great Pyrenees that lived in a farm and belonged to our elderly friend. Rusty was born on said farm with cats, pigs, chickens, children and a horse! So he is very friendly and loveable. However, we recently moved from a home with a lot of land, into a neighborhood with a lot less land. And although in our last home Rusty lived indoors, here we have had to train him to also live outdoors due to our youngest son's allergies to pets that we were not aware of when we chose to have Rusty join our family. We love him very much and know that he would be very happy with more land to run around in. And maybe with a family that can spend more time with him than we can at the moment. He will seriously bring joy to the right family!

Story
Meet Fred, an American Bulldog. We took him and another dog in on May 11 after they showed up starving and covered in ticks in Tennessee. He is back healthy and is fully vaccinated. He is good with people and female dogs. But he is not good with other male dogs. He is a dominant protector. I wish he would get along with our resident male golden retriever but it’s just not working out. So, if we can find a more appropriate home for him then that would be a better situation for all involved.
