Story
Meet Xavier Xavier’s owner passed away and was left alone in the backyard. A friend of mine knew the owner & went to the empty house to make sure he was fed and had water everyday. When I learned about his situation, I wanted to help, even if only for a short time and that’s when Xavier joined our home. Xavier is an incredibly sweet boy who loves being close to his people. He’s a total couch potato, happiest lounging near his humans, sunbathing, or cuddled up with his favorite stuffies. One of his most endearing traits is greeting you at the door with a toy in his mouth every time. He’s wonderful with kids and truly the best kind of companion. After everything he’s been through, Xavier can be a bit anxious around other dogs. He would do best as the only dog, or with someone experienced in slow, thoughtful introductions and separation. Xavier is looking for a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe and cherished again. In return, he’ll give endless love and loyalty!

Story
It breaks our hearts to write this, but we have made the difficult decision to find a new home for our beloved French Bulldog, Tank. He is 7 years old and has a very mellow personality. Tank loves to relax, lay around, and simply enjoy being close to his people. With three young children and the demands of everyday life, we have realized that we cannot give him the time and attention he deserves. This decision has not been easy, but we don’t want to be selfish. Tank deserves a home where he can receive the love, companionship, and care that he needs. We are looking for a loving and responsible family or individual who will welcome Tank as part of their home. Our priority is finding the best possible fit for him, where he can spend his golden years happy and well cared for.

Story
Our 10-year-old poodle mix is looking for a new home. We've had him since he was 7 weeks old, but due to our busy schedules, we can no longer give him the time and attention he deserves. He is playful, loves walks, and gets along well with other dogs. He is up to date on his vaccinations. He has recently developed some skin issues and is currently wearing a cone to keep him from scratching while he heals. We want to find him a loving, caring home where he can be happy and well cared for.

I need to rehome my Coco and Boomer. Boomer has a tendency to sent mark all over the house and now that I'm getting older and my mothers elderly we just can't keep up with constantly cleaning the couch and cleaning the walls. Coco my chocolate lab is if 75lbs and she would be better off living on a ranch or farm. Her nails are overgrown. Both dogs are up to date on their rabies shot.

Story
Lucci is a sweet, affectionate, and loyal 3-year-old dog looking for a loving home. He loves people, enjoys attention, cuddles, walks, and spending time with his family. He is house-trained, confident, and protective of the people he loves.Lucci would do best in a calm, structured home with an owner who understands large-breed dogs. While he can be reactive when first seeing other dogs, he has successfully interacted with dogs after proper, slow introductions. Because of this, any introductions to new dogs should be done carefully and at his pace. A home where he can be managed responsibly and set up for success would be ideal.Once he settles in, Lucci is an incredibly loving companion who wants to be close to his people. My biggest priority is finding him a safe and loving forever home.There is no rehoming fee for the right home. His crate, food, and other supplies will go with him. Due to relocation, Lucci needs placement by the end of the month, so serious inquiries are appreciated
