Story

Lincoln was liberated from an unfit home. He is about 2 years old. We have had him for two months. He is a super sweet loving dog. He just wants love all the time. He is not aggressive. We are working on manners. We have taught him to sit. He is working on stay, come and to not jump. He needs a lot of attention. We just do not have the time he needs. He has been around our cats with no issues. He just wants to play and be loved.

Story

Looking to rehome pet due to older dog not adjusting well to him. He’s a 15 week old puppy, full of energy that just wants to be loved and played with. I have a toddler that loves playing with him but I’m afraid with my large sized dog not adjusting well, it could turn bad fast. He is up to date with shots, and he is fairly good at peeing and pooping on his potty pads (due to not going outside since he isn’t fully vaccinated). He’s only really been around my family since he was 6 weeks old so there might be a little bit of “stranger danger” but as long as you play with him I’m sure he will warm up fast. Fee is to help with half of the vet bills I have already put on my tab.

"Rocket" or "Rocky" Husky-German Shepherd Mix, 65 lbs. Male, up to date on shots, estimated dob 11-30-19, neutered. Potty trained. Loving beautiful pup, loves attention, loves being around his people, loves playing tug a war with rope toys, loves fetching balls, loves playing and being outdoors. Loves kids. We adopted Rocket from the pound when he was just a puppy found on the side of the road. He is 4 1/2 years old. We are expecting a new baby in 7 weeks. As for other dogs, he has always been pretty good with dogs. Up until recently, if he feels threatened or the dog comes at him, he has growled and whined. He does like to dig. Please contact me with any other questions or concerns. We love him so much and want him to go to a good home. He is an amazing dog. We will keep him until we find him a home.

Story

This is Jack. He will be 10 in September, but you wouldn’t think so if you met him. He still loves to play fetch with his frisbee, balls and toys and go for walks. No health issues. He’s good with cats; and other dogs as long as they are calm and leave him alone. He doesn’t like any rough play. He’d prefer to be the only dog. No small children that will get in his space. That’s the problem we are having with him now. We have little ones around and he has snapped at one of them a few times, but not broken the skin. He tries to avoid them. He’s a pretty mellow and submission dog but has some anxiety. He’s smart and listens well and just likes to hang out where you are. He normally has long hair but I like to get him the puppy cut once in awhile. I can tell you lots more about him if you are interested. He deserves a good home to live out the rest of his dog hood.

Story

Meet Fievel, the handsome 7-year-old boy who is looking for his forever home. Fievel is a sweet and sensitive dog who can be a bit shy when meeting new people. But once he gets to know you, he'll quickly become your best friend. Fievel is a socially dog selective dog, which means he does not get along with all dogs. He prefers the company of calm and gentle dogs who will give him his space. For this reason, he would do best as the only dog in the household. But he is wonderful walking with other dogs or meeting dogs in public. Despite his shyness, Fievel is a playful and active dog who loves to go for walks and play fetch in the yard. He's also a smart boy who already knows some basic commands and is eager to learn more. Fievel needs a patient and understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to settle into his new home. He would do best in a quiet and calm environment without too much noise and moderate activity. If you're looking for a quirky and goofy companion who will be your loving and snuggly friend, Fievel might be the perfect fit for you. Contact us today to schedule a meeting!

Story

PART OF A BONDED PAIR Meet Bella & Merlot, the inseparable senior pair whose bond is as strong as their love for snuggles. Bella, once a timid dog who was discarded by her owner, found her confidence with Merlot by her side. Since their meeting 8 years ago, they have been side-by-side every day. Merlot introduced himself with an exuberant play-bow and he didn't give Bella a choice to be friends. Now, they've been together so long they are more like an old married couple, ha ha! This mellow duo, who enjoy everything treat related, are looking for a cozy couch to call their own. While Bella may need a bit of time to warm up, it doesn't take long before she's asking for butt-scratches. They're seeking a forever home with no other animals, where they can be the center of attention as your cherished companions!
