Story
Hi, my name is Booger. I'm a 7 year old red nose pit bull. I am looking for my forever home. My Dad lost his home and has to move to a home where I am not allowed to go with him. When I was a small puppy I was thrown into a pit bull fighting ring where is was used as bate and part of my neck was bit off. I put in an animal shelter box overnight and almost died when they found me. A very nice veterinarian nursed me back to health and found me my dad. He is so sad I can't stay with him. I am a good boy, I need someone who will work with me and be my friend. I love to run and play. Will you consider being my friend. I am not neutered yet as I was very slow to develop in that area. 😁. Thank you for reading my story, now let's go for a walk 🐕

Story
Max is a wonderful loving dog that we have to part with due to human medical reasons. He is turning two years old and was raised on a small homestead and is great with other animals and kids. He is an inside dog that has a large yard to play in currently. He needs to be with other pets or a human to be happy. He will not do well if left home alone without a cat or dog to keep him company. He does not like car rides, but I'm sure the right owner can fix that. Because he was raised outside the city he is wary of adult men, but has never bitten or acted in a way to make someone scared. He generally growls or paces for a few minutes until he can sniff their hand. He generally accepts women and children without hesitation. He is every bit a Labrador and is good-natured, but will do better with an experienced owner who hopefully has a pet. He is a big dog that loves to play so please be aware of his size. Most importantly please give him a good life.

Story
Arlo is a high energy dog he needs constant attention and would do better in a home where he is the only pet. He is fine with small dogs but not large dogs. He not cat friendly. Arlo is loyal and loving he sleep with me in my bed he is the perfect cuddle buddy. Arlo is high energy so he will jump and want to play all day. I cannot keep up with his energy level and I fear my anxiety is causing him anxiety. He deserves to be happy and with someone who can keep up with him. German shepherds are a special breed you must have experience to be able to handle this goofy giant.

Kirby is a two year old Dutch Shepherd Mix that is looking for a job! He loves to play with his toy and hang out with his handler. Kirby has experience in nosework type situations and would be an excellent candidate for someone wanting to pursue that!
