Story
About Cooper Cooper has been part of our family for almost 4 years, and he is truly an amazing dog. He is very friendly, loving, and enjoys being around people. He is well-behaved and fully house-trained — he knows to do his business outside. We made the difficult decision to rehome him some time ago due to severe allergies in our youngest child. Thankfully, he stayed within our extended family, so we have always known he was safe and loved. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, the family member who has been caring for him can no longer keep him. Because of this, we are now looking for a new loving and responsible home for Cooper. He deserves a family that can give him the attention, care, and love he is used to. He is a wonderful companion and will make a great addition to the right home.

Story
Diesel is truly a special dog, extremely sweet and loving. We rescued him at the age of 4 months old pup, he is now 5 years old. Ideal adopter will be able to provide plenty of exercise and enrichment. Be able to fund training, he knows basic commands. But will need training to help with leash pulling, dog reactivity, and some toy aggression. He is wonderful with children, loves snuggles, will lick you till he cant possibly lick anymore lol. He is wonderful and it pains us to rehome him but due to personal medical changes we can’t provide him the life he deserves.

Story
She's 12 years old loves kids and loves attention. She was born from another pet. She is very calm and not super playful but loves cuddles and a good belly rub. We're looking that she's taken care of and treated nicely and shown the love that she had here. I've noticed with age she's not fond of other playful dogs. But loves to be with children.

Story
We rescued Penny about 6 years ago. She can be aggressive with other animals at first. But then turns into a sweetheart. She will not bite, just bark loudly and look mean. She loves kids and attention. She will cuddle up and ask for belly rubs. Sad to have to give her up, but I have been moving too often with my job and it is not fair for her and can’t give her the attention she deserves.

Story
About Luke Luke is a very loving, almost 4-year-old dog. I adopted him when he was 12 weeks old from a rescue that saved his mom and litter. He has been a wonderful part of our family ever since. Luke has lots of love and energy and would thrive with a family or individual who has the time to play with him and give him attention. He would do best in a home with a yard where he can run around and burn off his energy. He gets along great with both big and small dogs and has been wonderful with my one-year-old child, though like many energetic dogs he doesn’t always realize how big he is. Luke is house trained and crate trained, and his crate is his safe space. He loves attention, cuddles, and being around people. He has no medical issues. He does have a slightly sensitive stomach, so he does best on a low-fat gastrointestinal dog food that keeps his tummy happy. We are looking for a very loving and well-suited home where Luke will get the time, attention, and activity he deserves
