Story
Cia is a 6 year old vibrant and energetic dog who is very good with our 4 year old son. Unfortunately my husband and I are getting a divorce and he is completely neglecting my son and the dog. I am trying my best to take care of my son which means the dog gets neglected. She needs a warm , affectionate family. She is a joy to be around but getting depressed from not going outside very day and having nothing to look forward to.

Story
Moose is a 3-year-old unaltered male Great Dane. He truly lives up to the "gentle giant" title. He is up to date on all vaccines and has no known health issues.Moose is incredibly loyal and protective of his family. He loves being near his people and takes his job as a household guardian seriously, while still being sweet, affectionate, and gentle with children. He is fully house trained and leash trained.He would do best with someone experienced with Great Danes or other giant breeds. Moose needs a home with a secured yard and must be kept as an indoor family dog- he wants to be where his people are.Moose has not lived with other animals, so we feel he would do best as the only pet or with an experienced owner who understands structured introductions.This has been an incredibly difficult decision for our family and we are committed to finding Moose the right forever home that can give him the attention he deserves.

Story
George is a 1.5-year-old Cane Corso/Doberman mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was raised in a home environment and loves being around people. He’s about 125 pounds, recently neutered, vaccinated, and very loyal once he bonds with you. George is playful, goofy, affectionate, and protective in the gentle “watchdog” kind of way. He loves attention, being outside, and hanging out near his people. We are looking for a stable, loving home with someone experienced with large breeds or confident handling big dogs. Ideally, George would do best with a yard and an owner who can continue giving him structure, exercise, and consistency. He has so much potential and deserves a family willing to be patient and committed to him long-term. George is being rehomed due to changes in living circumstances, not because he is unwanted. This has been a very difficult decision, and we are focused on finding the right fit where he can thrive and be loved the way he deserves.

Story
Trixie is a sweet and loving German Shepherd looking for a wonderful family to call her own. She will be turning 3 years old this year, with a date of birth of April 18th. She is fully up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. Trixie gets along well with other dogs and is great with both children and adults. We’re not sure how she does with cats. She is fully house-trained and well-behaved indoors. Trixie currently enjoys having her own space in the home, sleeps inside, and loves spending her days outside playing—especially running around and fetching balls. She is a gentle, affectionate companion who would make a wonderful addition to a caring and loving home. Also, Trixie will go to her new home with two dog crates (including bedding), a doggy sofa, and two outdoor cooling mats.

Story
SOFIA IS SPECIAL NEEDS AND IS IN NEED OF A SPONSOR. SHE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Hello everyone, My name is Sofia and my personality is as big as my beautiful name. I'm a 11-year-old small 8-pound Bichon Frise mix. I am fun, loving and full of spirit! They call me a SPECIAL NEEDS PUP. I took a fall before becoming a BROC BABE and the doctors said I would NEVER walk again due to a spinal cord rupture. But my foster mom says I have the will to get wherever I want, nothing holds me back. My BROC Aunties got some custom wheels for me and you should see me run. I'm like a horse in its chariot, and I must say, I do look adorable. I take walks with and without my wheels, I walk with all my fur siblings and chase bunnies like no other but I need my wheels at times. My foster mom loves me and takes great care of me. I am still practicing walking and recovering and could use some help with my medical bills and daily needs. If you’d like to sponsor me, please use the link below. Thank you!

Story
This is Patrone! He is 2 and we took him off the hands of a family near work who seemed to keep him caged all day with little to no time outside. He is immensely kind and loves anyone he meets. He is a great dog, but I feel as though my family is far too busy as of late to attend to him as much was we should. He is very clingy and scary smart which doesn’t match well for our current situation. I feel that we are ill experienced to take proper care of him and I would never blame a dog for being a dog. If you want a kind dog who wants plenty of outside time and love, please let me know! We will also provide you with his cage however I’d hope you’d have very little need to use it. Thanks!
