Story
Bruiser is 7yo, 67 lbs, neutered & vaccinated. His rehome is due to humans death, not any behavior or care concerns on his part. Bruiser has not had any previous experience with children or cats. He has lived with another dog, but would love to retire in more peace and quiet. He has a sweet demeanor naturally and loves a soft spot to curl up. He certainly still has verve, but is mostly a cuddly couch potato looking for a potato partner to share space with! He is a superchewer when given toys or treats, but has not demonstrated any destructive behaviors towards non-sanctioned items. When left without humans in the foster home during the work day he has just slept the entire time. He came from a loving home with a big yard, but didn't necessarily get a lot of training on leash walking or commands, so those are some things he's working on in foster care. He could be an easy fit into someone's life and foster is willing to transport for the right adopter.

Story
Lady is 3 yo, weighs 61 lbs, spayed & vaccinated. Rehome is due to owner deaths, not behavior or care concerns on her part. She is eager to please, so a quick learner. She was in a loving home with a big yard previously, but not trained on things like leash walking, many commands, or games/tricks. She is just getting started on learning some of those in foster care, and is really loving food puzzles. She gets startled easily, but is easy to comfort/rebounds quickly. She has a sweet & gentle demeanor. She has never had any experience or exposure with children or cats, but did live in a home with another dog. She would love to be the apple of someone's eye - where she could get all of your attention, learn games & get tons of snuggles. She is a real sweetheart & well-behaved on her own. With time & attention she has potential to be an exceptionally skilled and obedient pup. She has not demonstrated any destructive behaviors in foster care. Willing to transport for the right adopter!

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***

Story
Hi, I'm Beavis! I love cuddles and I'm quite the gentle soul. My days are filled with lower-energy fun, perfect for a chill home that likes casual adventures. I might be a bit shy at first, but give me a moment and I'll warm right up to you, showing you my friendly side with a wagging tail and eager eyes. I dream of a forever home where I can share all my love. If you're looking for a sweet companion to share quiet moments and joyful playtimes, I'm your guy! Let's make countless happy memories together. From a foster: Beavis is an absolute sweetheart. He is a great car rider and walks well on a leash. He is still a little shy at times but very sweet. He gets along well with my dog who can be high energy. He could use some desensitization to the crate. Another Foster: Beavis was the best! He is very sweet, loves to cuddle, and is fully potty trained with no accidents. Beavis walks well on a leash, does fine being left alone, and never barks. He is incredibly cute, very laid back, calm, and quiet—overall a wonderful, easy dog to have around.
