Story
Hello, Lua is 3 years old, she is an indoor dog and she is neutered. She enjoys playing with toys. Lua loves spending time with children and adults, playing or watching TV, in the peace of home, honestly, Lua is a great companion. She loves you to hug her or just be by your side. It was difficult for me and my family to make the decision to find a new home for Lua. The reason is that we have 3 other dogs, which are older than Lua, and Lua does not have a good relationship with one of them. We are sure that in her new home, they will fall in love with Lua, like us.

Ranger is a little over a year old. He comes from Seattle and is beyond playful and loving! He will need a family who will give him all the attention in the world, as he loves it. A house with a yard or super active parents/family is definitely needed for him.

Story
Ashford is a handsome sweet dog. Athlete for sure. He thinks he is a superstar when playing ball and soccer. He love to go on walks and hikes. I got him as a puppy of 2 1/2 months old, he is currently 13 months old. He came from my cousin who had an unexpected litter. His mom's name is Scooby and she is a Mastiff mix and Father full blood German shephard. I have chronic lyme and almost 60 years old and it is difficult for me to be a proper mom to this big guy. I am unable to work right now and do not have the strength to take care of him. I would love for him to find a home with a family or a hiking person. He loves people, especially men, and other dogs. He loves the dogpark and to play. He needs a home with an active person. He does not bark incessantly and is really a good watchdog. Please help me rehome my handsome Ashford. His belonging go with him. 2 bed cots 3 bed mattresses Xlarge igloo doghouse Xlarge metal crate Toys 50 lbs of food, toys, etc. Questions welcome.

Story
National Adopt a Senior Pet Month - $0 Adoption Fee Hey there, I'm Odin, a chunky tripod who loves the simple pleasures in life. You know, snuggling, giving kisses, and going for leisurely strolls - long walks on the beach sound dreamy, but I'm perfectly content with walks along the road too! Here's a bit more about me: I may only have three legs, but I'm impressively fast when I'm excited, especially when it comes to seeing my favorite people. I might be a little shy at first, but don't let that fool you. In time, you'll find that I'm a loyal and amazing companion who's just waiting for the right match. Aside from my favorite humans and delicious food, I have a soft spot for belly rubs. Having a warm lap to snuggle up on while we watch movies would make me as happy as can be. If you're someone who appreciates the beauty of simplicity, enjoys a good snuggle, and is looking for a loyal companion, I might just be the one you've been searching for. Reach out to Lucy's Hope to learn more about me and how we can start our own adventures together. Let's make each other's dreams come true! Adoption application: https://bit.ly/44dKWUv Can't adopt?

Story
Hi there, I'm Frankie, and I've been on quite the journey. I've held many titles since then - "stray dog," "backyard dog," and now "shelter dog." But what I'm really hoping for is to hold the title of "family dog" in a loving home. I'm approximately 4 years old and ready to find my forever family. Here are some things you should know about me: I walk well on a leash, so we can explore together. I'm a bit selective when it comes to other dogs, so introductions are a must. No cats or small dogs for me, please. I'm an active and playful pup who loves toys. Let's have some fun! I especially love a good game of tug. I'm a pro at it! I'm best suited for a home with kids aged 12 and up due to my size and energy. I'm ready for a fresh start and a forever family to call my own. If you think we could be the perfect match, please complete an adoption application to learn more about adopting me. I promise to fill your life with love, fun, and endless tail wags. Let's make the next chapter of my life the best one yet. Please share this post to help me find my forever home! Adoption application: https://bit.ly/44dKWUv Foster application.
