Story
We were blessed with Scout a couple years back from a homeless couple who lived in their car. Scout is now 3 years young and enjoys the simple things in life. We’re hoping that she will be adopted to a home with a good sized yard to run and play. Scout is sweet, caring, playful, easy to get along with, and gracefully beautiful. She loves both indoors and outdoors.

Acquired my pet from greenfield puppies. Fully purebred Rottweiler. Very friendly and an amazing dog. I just don’t have the time to take him out as much as I would like as I get busier. He just now turned 2 years.

Jesse is a sweet dog, almost 5 years old, that really just wants love and attention. Due to my health and my work , he isn’t getting the quality life he deserves. He is fun, happy, and loves to play fetch. Loves treats and carrots! Please give the home he deserves because he is such a great family dog!!

Story
It is with a heavy heart and serious consideration, that I have decided to rehome our bluenose girl Coraline. Coraline does not get along with our other small, senior dog and has now threatened his life. I love her immensely, but I can no longer jeopardize the wellbeing of our other animals. Facts: • 6 yrs old • Spayed • Current on vaccines/dental cleaning (7/2/26) • House/potty/kennel trained • In overall great health! Coraline is reactive with other dogs, especially small dogs, and can be possessive. A home with other dogs is not preferred. She's lived with other dogs her whole life though. Coraline historically does not like cats. However, after fostering a litter of four kittens last year, she's learned patience and has since done well with one of my adopted kittens. Coraline LOVES to cuddle and loves your personal space. She wants nothing more than to be by your side. She enjoys slow days, chewing on her toys, and fetch. She never tired from playing fetch. 🖤
