Story
Meet Bruiser - heavyweight champion of snuggles. Bruiser is a calm, lovable dog whose need for rehoming is due to the passing of his human family, not because of any behavior or care concerns. He came from a loving home with a large yard. While he didn’t receive much leash or recall training previously, he is smart & motivated by food & toys. He is learning fast in foster care & can continue to grow with consistency. He still has verve, but is mostly a cuddly couch potato looking for quiet time & companionship. He has not had prior experience with children. He currently lives with one other dog, whom he tolerates, but he is not tolerant of cats at all. He would thrive in a peaceful, loving home where he can enjoy comfort & cozy companionship. He is a strong chewer who needs durable toys & appropriate treats, but he is well-mannered & has not shown destructive behavior toward any household items. Stays alone well and crate trained. ~7yo, 66 lbs, altered, vaccinated. Foster can transport

Story
Monroe is the sweetest little bundle of energy. She is a very active dog, but also loves cuddling. I hate to part with her, but I've been laid off and can no longer care for her as she deserves; I'd like to transfer her into the home of a dog lover that I can trust to keep her, lovingly. She is iffy around other dogs, and unfortunately does not get along with cats. Ideally, she will be the only pet in the home, but she has coexisted among my other dog and some of my friends; pets just fine. Approach social situations with caution, she tends to do well around people, but can get overstimulated. As far as I know, she lived on the street for the first year of her life, and at the shelter for her second. In the past two years that I've had her, I've trained her out of many bad habits and she has grown into a wonderful house dog that still loves going on adventures. If you are looking for a new best friend, I would love to introduce you to mine.

Story
This leading Lady will steal the show & your heart! Lady is a gentle, affectionate pup whose rehoming is due to the passing of her human family, not for any behavior or care concerns. She came from a loving home with a large yard. While she didn't do much formal training previously, she is learning things quickly & enthusiastically in foster care. Lady is eager to please, food motivated & very smart. With time & attention, she has the potential to become an exceptionally skilled & obedient companion. She loves people, but no prior exposure to children. She currently lives with another dog, but would prefer a home where she doesn’t have to compete for attention & can be someone’s special focus. She'd love learning new games, building skills & spending lots of time snuggling. She's got a big bark when startled, but calms quickly. She is well-behaved when left on her own & has not shown any destructive behaviors in foster care. 3yo, 58 lbs, spayed, vacc - records & transport avail.

Story
Murphy is a good dog and is barely over 1 year old and is still a pretty high energy pup. He loves to run around and play fetch in the backyard. He plays great with all dogs, especially ones that can keep up with him. Murphy is still learning and may be a bit intense for the toddler-age but he would be awesome with older kids. He is potty-trained, crate trained, and loves to snuggle during the evenings as long as he can get some energy out during the day. We would be happy to include Murphy’s crate, dog bed, leashes, and any other of his favorite things that might help his transition to a new home easier.

Story
Hey, Topper has been incredible for us these past five years and we’re only looking to find someone to adopt him because we have two under two in a small trailer and our sons take all of our attention and think he deserves a better home. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had/lived with BY FAR. He’s fun and energetic and is still in his prime at a little over 5 years old. We got him because people were just giving him away when he was a puppy and I fell in love with the guy. I just want to give him to someone that’s going to love him as much as we have and give him a great and better life at this time. ***I waived any adoption fee because I haven’t gotten his yearly shots this year, but we have around two months of Purina Pro Plan dog food and eight months of Simparica Trio. With that, the costs should average out, but we wouldn’t charge anyone anyway as you’d be doing us and Topper a favor. We also have treats, toys, leashes, & crate***
