Story
Meet Mina! She’s a 7.5-8 month old, 45lb Siberian Husky/Shepherd Mix. She’s a total lover girl who doesn’t know personal space when snuggling 🤪 She is UTD on vaccines, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. I have done 1 round of obedience training with her, but she needs more (stubborn husky!) She tries to chase and herd my cat that is why I put “no”. She’s been around kids but she is far too excitable at this age to determine how she is with them. She is requiring hours of mental stimulation and play daily that I’m unfortunately unable to give her. I adopted her at 11-12 weeks old and she’s been with me since. This is not an easy decision by any means- I adore her!

Story
We got Owen when he was approximately 8 weeks old. When he got to his new home he was a bit timid (and is still to this day) ... I'm not sure he'd ever seen a cat before! Within the first hour or two he began to realize this was his home too, and by the end of the next day he had met all the humans and all the animals. He got along with everyone, both two- and four-legged.He lived outside before we got him, so we made it a point to let him out frequently. We also made it a point to praise him when he did his business outside. He was house trained almost immediately. We also got him a large crate for when we had to leave, and the crate training didn't take long either.Owen is very curious. If you're talking to him and he's not sure what you're saying, he will literally tilt his head from one side to the other. You can almost see the gears grinding away. He is also very intelligent, but mostly he is loyal. Once he bonds with you, he will be your protector.He is a very, very good dog.

Story
Bauer is 5 years old and the sweetest boy. He has always had a gentle and loving spirit but can be playful when he wants to be! I got Bauer when he was 8 weeks old from a litter of free puppies and he has always bonded well with other dogs, cats, kids, and strangers. He wouldn’t hurt a fly and loves to snuggle. He loves running around a big backyard and loves having a dog or cat friend. ❤️ Rehoming him is a very difficult decision but I know he will thrive in any loving home.

Story
He’s a great dog !!! I’ve had him about 3 weeks. He’s almost 7 months. I adopted him from the humane society. I can’t him the attention that he “needs due to traveling. Toy poodle requires lots of attention. He loves jumping, walking on a leash, some potty training, and playing with his toys. I want him at a loving home where there’s plenty of it to share. He is so such sweet little boy !!!

Story
Luna came into my yard and life as a stray. She was malnourished and pregnant with nine puppies. We took her in and rehabilitated her and now she’s looking for her forever home.She would do really well in a home with other dogs as she is very very social and loves to play. She can sometimes be territorial of her things, but she’s not aggressive.She’s up-to-date on her shots and preventative medications, she’s been spayed and micro chopped. If you think Luna would be a good match for your home, please reach out!

Story
Meet Cookie ❤️ It is with very heavy hearts that our family is looking for the perfect retirement home for our sweet girl, Cookie. This is one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make. Cookie has been part of our family since our son was just 5 years old. He is now 21, and she has spent nearly her entire life surrounded by our love. As life has changed, so have our schedules. We are now empty nesters with demanding careers and ministry responsibilities that often keep us away from home for 10 or more hours each day. Cookie deserves more companionship, attention, and time than we're able to give her. While we've explored options like dog walkers, living in a rural area has made that very difficult. Cookie is a gentle, loving senior dog who enjoys the simple things in life. She's slowed down with age and would thrive in a calm, peaceful home where someone is around more often. We believe she'd be happiest with a retired individual or couple, or a family with a slower pace of life.
