Story
Meet Clyde 🐾 Clyde is a 3-year-old Catahoula/Australian Cattle Dog mix with the sweetest soul you'll ever meet. He's a loyal, affectionate boy who loves being with his people just as much as he loves running and playing outdoors. As a working breed, he's full of energy and would thrive with space to roam, play, and explore. Clyde did suffer a leg fracture when he was younger, so he occasionally favors his back right leg - but don't be fooled, it doesn't slow him down one bit! He's neutered, up to date on his rabies vaccine, and knows basic commands like sit and paw. Tell him "scratches?" and he'll melt in place. He's playful, smart, and loves the water - but most of all, he deserves a home that can give him the time, attention, and space he needs to be his best self. A small rehoming fee applies to ensure he finds the loving, forever home he truly deserves.

Madison is about 7 years old. She is mild mannered and mellow. My husband and I are divorcing, so I am looking for a home for her. I am moving to an apartment that will not allow large dogs. She is part black lab and pit bull according to the Humane Society where I adopted her 6 years ago. She is a good watch dog. Has always been outdoors.

Story
Meet Trixie: Mama Dog, Snuggle Queen, and Forever Friend in Waiting   Trixie came into our lives back in May of 2023, full of hope and carrying something even more preciousa belly full of puppies. She gave birth to a beautiful litter and watched with joy as every one of her babies found a loving forever home. But while their stories began, hers is still waiting to be written.   Trixie is around 3.5 years old and has all the energy and playfulness of a pup with the heart of a wise old soul. She loves kids and thrives on companionship, whether it's chasing a ball, playing tug-of-war, or curling up next to you for cuddle time. Shes fully potty trained, rides great in the car, and adores being involved in whatever her humans are up to.   Shes a confident, affectionate girl who knows what she wantsand what she wants most is a home where she can be someones one and only. While Trixie would do best as the only dog in the home, she can do well with calm, respectful dogs her size with a proper introduction. She just prefers a slower-paced dog friendship and isnt a fan of pushy playmates. Cats, however, are a no-go.   This sweet girl has spent nearly two years waiting. Not because she isnt amazingbut because the right fit just hasnt come along yet. Trixie isnt just a good dog. Shes a great one. Shes done her job raising her babies, and now its her turn to be the center of someones world.

Story
Meet Lovey (aka Sadie): A Sweetheart with a Silly Streak Lovey lives up to her nameshes a gentle, goofy girl with a heart full of love and a serious affection for her people. A little shy at first (especially with strangers and sudden movements), she blossoms with patience and affectionand shes especially fond of women. Shes about 80% house-trained and working on the other 20% (watch that hallway!). While she prefers not to venture into the great outdoors after dark, shes perfectly happy snuggled next to you or curled up in her crate. Lovey gets along well with other dogs and is curiousbut occasionally too excitedaround cats (chase now, apologize later). That said, shed also thrive as your one-and-only pup, soaking up all your love and attention. During the day, shes the perfect couch companion, quietly chewing her bones and chilling out. Shes treat-motivated, not food aggressive, bath-approved, and working on tolerating nail trims like the little champ she is. Best of all? She greets you like a rockstar every time you walk through the door. Lovey is a mellow, loving girl who just wants a safe, patient home where she can snuggle, snack, and shine.
