Story
**Potential adopters must fill out the questionnaire at the end of the bio and email to Graciabutter@gmail.com Meet Lady! Lady is a 7-month-old sweetheart who came to us from a homeless encampment with her mom and siblings. From the moment she arrived, she’s shown us how resilient, loving, and full of life she is. Lady adores running, playing, exploring, and handing out kisses to everyone she meets. She recently went on her first camping trip and did amazing — she loved every minute of exploring and being part of the adventure. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Lady would thrive in a home with another dog to play with and learn from. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate young pup who’s ready to be your best friend, Lady is ready to meet you. ****Answers to the questionnaire must be emailed to GraciaButter@gmail.com. Please tell us a bit about yourself/family • What city do you live in? • Do you rent or own? • Any children in the home? What ages? List all family members living in the home • What is your work schedule? Family schedule? • How many hours per day would the pet be left alone? • Where is the pet kept when left alone? • Where does the pet sleep? • Any other pets in the home? If so, what type/breed? • How often will the dog be exercised? • If the dog becomes ill or injured are you financially prepared to provide medical care? • Are you prepared to care for this dog for its life span of 15+ years? • Do you have a training plan?

Story
Hey guys. This is Loki. He was born May 5, 2025. His Dad is an American Pit Bull terrier and his Mom is an American Bully (regular). We initially as a family wanted to keep them all (4 litters). But with my busy schedule. Kids being homeschooled. I feel really bad and guilty because we are not able to give them the time they truly deserve. I would love for Loki to have a happy home who will give him the attention he truly deserves. I’m not charging anything for the rehoming.

Story
Meet Dakota! This sweet 2-year-old terrier mix is a survivor with a heart full of love. She arrived in our care with her newborn puppies from a homeless encampment where life was incredibly tough, and despite everything she’s been through, Dakota is remarkably friendly and potty trained! She may be a little shy at first, but once she gets comfortable, she’ll be your constant companion, following you everywhere. Dakota is playful, energetic, and loves running around with the other dogs, especially as she teaches her puppies the ropes. She's spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her shots. Now all Dakota needs is a loving forever home where she can thrive and share all the affection she has to offer. Will you be the one to give her that?September 29, 2025, 10:37 am

Story
**Potential adopters must fill out the questionnaire at the end of the bio and email to Graciabutter@gmail.com . Chip is a playful, dog-loving boy—he adores pups of all sizes and is especially smitten with the pitbull in his foster home. He loves going on walks, exploring the dog park, and zooming around the yard. And when he’s done playing? He’s a total cuddle bug who loves curling up with his humans for snuggles. Because he thrives with canine companionship, we feel he’d do best in a home with another friendly dog. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—ready to start his next chapter. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate companion who brings joy to both people and pups, Chip might just be your guy. ****Answers to the questionnaire must be emailed to GraciaButter@gmail.com.
