Story
Meet MaviA sweet and loving dog who has been part of our family since she was a tiny puppy.She was originally found in a parking garage when she was one month old. Some friends of ours took her in, but unfortunately, their apartment complex did not allow dogs. At the time, we had just purchased our first home and had plenty of space, so we happily welcomed Mavi into our family.A few months after bringing Mavi home, we found out we were expecting twins. Once our twins were born, life became much busier than we ever anticipated, and as much as we love Mavi, we realized that we weren’t able to give her the time, attention, and activity she deserves.Mavi is a wonderful dog who deserves a family that can give her plenty of love and attention. We would especially love to find her a home with someone who enjoys long walks, being outdoors, and spending lots of quality time with her.This is not an easy decision for us, but we want to do what’s best for her.

Story
Meet Wednesday 🖤 Wednesday is a beautiful 6-year-old female German Shepherd/Alaskan Husky mix with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for loyalty. She absolutely loves people and is happiest when she’s spending time with her family. Wednesday is affectionate, devoted, and wonderfully loyal once she knows you. She is also great with kids and would love a family who will include her in their everyday life. Wednesday does best as the only pet in the home. She does not get along well with other dogs or cats, so she is looking for a family where she can be your one-and-only furry companion. If you're looking for a loyal, people-loving dog who will form a special bond with her family, Wednesday could be the girl for you. ❤️ Wednesday's ideal home:

Story
Purdy is a sweet, loving Dalmatian born in 2015. We got her from a breeder as a puppy. She knows heel, sit, stay, roll over, and come. We’re seeking a loving home that can provide companionship and needed veterinary care. Before age one, she bit our other dog twice; a family member needed stitches after separating them. That dog was rehomed, and Purdy has had no further biting incidents. She generally ignores dogs on leash, does not lunge, and has boarded around dogs without incident. We remain cautious around other dogs. We have kept her separate from our children as a precaution, so her experience with children is limited. Careful supervision and precautions around food aggression are needed. She has had nose scabs and skin sores since 2023 that need veterinary evaluation, possibly by a dermatologist. We cannot afford this care. Her teeth have not been routinely brushed. We hope to find someone who will love her and meet her needs.

Story
Sasha is an incredible companion, especially for someone who loves the outdoors and adventure. She has joined us on countless hiking and backpacking trips, and that is truly where she thrives. She is happiest when she is exploring alongside her person and would make an amazing companion for someone with an active lifestyle. Sasha is incredibly loyal and forms a strong bond with her people. She loves being part of her “pack” and is deeply devoted to those she trusts. With that loyalty, however, she can sometimes become possessive and does not always do well with other dogs. Because of this, Sasha would do best with an experienced and confident dog owner who understands canine behavior, can recognize her cues, and can provide consistent boundaries and guidance in the moment. With the right person, Sasha has so much to offer. She is adventurous, devoted, and happiest when she has a person to bond with and plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore.

Story
We are looking to find a loving new home for our 2.5-year-old, medium-sized dog, Sweetie. She is a mix of French Bulldog and German Shepherd and has many wonderful qualities. She is: - Very sweet, affectionate, and loving with her people -Protective of her family - Food motivated and eager to learn - Crate trained and potty trained -Knows basic commands - Loves playing fetch and going on walks - A little timid and shy at first, but warms up quickly We are making the difficult decision to rehome her because she has resource-guarding behavior around food/treats and other pets. Because of this, she would be happiest and safest in a home where she is the only pet. This is a difficult decision for our family, and we want to be thoughtful about finding the right home for her. She deserves a family who will love her, be patient with her, and give her the structure and attention she needs. We will provide her crate, bedding, food/water bowl, and other belongings to help make the transitio
