Story
A family friend recently went into a care home after a major fall and the loss of her husband. Her children weren't able to take her, so we have been fostering her for the last two weeks.She's very sweet but doesn't get along with our large dominant female dog. She's very gentle, great with kids, cats, small dogs and the elderly. Excellent on a leash - will stop to wait for you to catch up rather than pulling. Gabby is around 10 years old and would love nothing more than to hang out with somebody all day. She is a bit of an escape artist so solid backyard fencing is preferred.If you think she would be a good fit for your family please reach out.

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
Meet your new best friend!At just 13 weeks old, I’m the perfect combination of cute, curious, playful, and just a little bit goofy. I’m a mixed breed puppy with a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable little body, and I’m ready to start learning what it means to be someone’s very best friend.I’ve been having a blast playing with my puppy friends and littermates, wrestling, chasing, exploring, and learning all kinds of important puppy lessons along the way. After all that playing, I’m always happy to curl up for a well-earned puppy nap!I’m still a baby, so I’ll need a family who understands that puppies take patience, consistency, training, and plenty of appropriate things to chew on. I’m at such a fun age to start learning my manners, working on potty training, discovering new places, meeting new people, and figuring out the world around me.With the right family and some guidance, I have my whole life ahead of me and so much potential to become an amazing companion.If you’ve been thinking about adding a puppy to your family, come meet me! I may be small now, but I’m looking forward to growing up right by your side.Already spayed/neutered? I may be ready to head home with you!Not quite old enough to be altered yet? I may be available through our foster-to-adopt program, so I can grow up in a home while completing the final steps of my adoption.Come meet me and see if I’m the puppy you’ve been waiting for!September 12, 2026, 8:04 pm
