Story
Z is a fun-loving energetic Irish Wolfhound Lab mix who was rescued as a puppy & loves to go on walks and play daily. He is 5 1/2 yrs old. He was promised a forever home, but due to unforeseen circumstances, deserves more attention, exercise, cuddles, & to go on nature adventures. He overheats easily so short hikes, shade, and one on one time are best for this sweet boy. He does take kids toys and is wild enough to potentially knock them down so grown kids or adults are ideal. He loves rough play with high energy dogs and loved going to doggie daycare. Z would add such happiness to an owner who is able to prioritize him daily, and love & care for him.

Story
I adopted Cherry Cola (Cherry for short) almost a year ago from a shelter and just turned a year old earlier this year. She’s energetic and loves playing with crinkly/squeaky toys. Cherry knows Sit, Down and Off commands. I’ve also trained her to sit and wait till I give the verbal cue “ok” to begin eating. She’s good with other dogs and cats and especially loves playing with smaller pets. I’m looking for someone with the ability to give her the time and attention she deserves.

Story
Meet Lilly, a real sweetheart! Affectionately known as "silly Lily," she loves playing with and chasing our little Chihuahua around the house. Her joyful, smiling nature brings a smile to everyone's face, which is truly wonderful. This highly intelligent, active girl absolutely loves to run. Even in a small backyard, she happily entertains herself by running back-and-forth and in circles, often chasing other dogs. Lilly is also incredibly gentle, loves to cuddle, and is fully routine-trained to sleep soundly at night. Sadly, a cross-country move from Arizona to Florida means I cannot take her along; my two older, sedentary dogs are much easier to transport on the long drive. Lilly would thrive with someone who enjoys walks or playing fetch, though neither is daily required as she is great at self-entertaining. She is fantastic with kids and other dogs, making her the perfect companion for a truly wonderful, loving home. Please give this beautiful, happy pup the life she truly deserves!

Story
Meet Hunter 🐾Hunter is a sweet, almost 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog looking for his forever home. He’s a gentle, loving boy who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and young kids. Whether he’s splashing around with the water hose or snuggled up on the couch, Hunter is happiest when he feels safe in a kennel.Hunter can be a little shy at first, especially around men, and will need a patient and understanding home to help him feel safe. We believe he may have had a difficult past, as he tends to be fearful of males—he won’t show aggression, but may run and hide when they move around. With time, especially around women, he warms up and shows his affectionate, loyal personality.He’s well-behaved and ready for a smooth transition into a new home—Hunter is kennel trained, potty trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. He also loves car rides and hops in and out with ease, making him a great companion for adventures.
