Story
Coco’s owner was my brother who was living in my house after his stroke and he sadly died August 28.Coco is a loving dog who has always been friendly with people and with small dogs when she is off leash.She has lived with a cat before but they mostly ignored each other. She has been a loving playmate with my Rat Terrier mix 2 year old.I am not sure how well she will get along with medium to large dogs. She loves to go for a ride in the car and likes to go on walks. She tends to pull pretty hard on the leash for the first mile then she lets up. If she sees a prey animal on the walk she will take off like a shot and takes a real effort to reel in. She is good with other walkers and has no interest in people on bicycles. She is some what aggressive towards other dogs when she is on the leash.

Story
Meet Buddha!Hes a 1 year old pit bull, german shepherd mix.He is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.He is crate trained, housed trained and ecollar trained. He is good with other dogs of all sizes with slow introductions. He's a great mix of the goofy and lovable pit and the smarts and drive of the shepherd.Due to his drive he is not compatible living with cats and other small animals.While he will benefit from running in a yard he currently lives in an apartment and does good with long walks and trips to the park.While good with kids he gets a little roundbunctious and will knock little kids over.

Story
Biscuits is a sweet, curious, and energetic 2-year-old boy who loves to explore and cuddle up after a long day. We rescued him as a puppy after he was abandoned at a construction site. He has grown up with our dog and two children and is up to date on all vaccines. He is not yet neutered. Biscuits would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, attention, and structure. He would make a great running or hiking partner! He could do well as the only dog or with a patient, well-matched dog. He is smart and loving but needs continued training. An experienced owner who is confident, consistent, patient, and committed to positive training and clear boundaries would be ideal. We love Biscuits dearly, but our current lifestyle doesn’t allow us to meet his needs the way he deserves. We want to find him a loving home where he can truly thrive. ❤️

Story
Meet PatchesPatches is an approximately 8-month-old Pitbull mix who is super sweet, friendly, enthusiastic, and full of that classic young-dog energy. She is a happy, playful girl who is ready to find a family that can finally give her the outlet she needs.Patches is definitely a puppy, so she will need continued training, structure, exercise, and plenty of opportunities to run and play. She loves to zoom around, explore, and have fun, and she absolutely loves playing with other dogs. She tends to do best with neutral, easygoing dogs and would likely be happiest with a male dog who enjoys playing.Patches previously lived with a cat. She would seek the cat out because she was curious and wanted to play, but she did not hurt the cat or show concerning prey drive. She was simply fascinated by her feline roommate and wanted to interact. Sloe introductions are a must.She is also well behaved in the car, which is a great start for a girl who is going to make a wonderful adventure companion.Unfortunately, Patches found herself in a home with an elderly woman, and her youthful energy simply wasn’t a good match for that lifestyle. She isn’t a bad dog—she’s a young, energetic dog who wasn’t getting the outlet she needed.Because of her enthusiasm and exuberance, she would probably not be the best fit for a home with very young children or elderly family members who could easily be knocked over by an excited puppy. Older kids who enjoy running, playing, and being active with a dog could be a wonderful match.Patches is curious, eager, incredibly cute, and genuinely sweet. She has so much to offer the right family.Treat Patches well, give her the exercise, training, attention, and adventure she has been missing, and she’ll treat you well right back.Patches doesn’t need to become a different dog. She just needs someone to give her the opportunity to be the dog she was always meant to be.October 3, 2026, 8:33 pm
