Story

Looking for the right home for Rocky ❤️ Rocky is an 8-year-old small terrier who originally belonged to my dad and was extremely bonded to him. My dad passed away this spring, so I brought Rocky home with me from Tennessee. He went from losing his person and the life he’d always known to suddenly living in our very busy household with adults, teenagers, younger kids, other dogs, and a cat. He’s actually managed the chaos of our household surprisingly well, but we’ve realized that it probably isn’t the environment where he’ll be happiest long-term. Rocky is very selective about his people. Once he chooses someone, though, he bonds deeply and is incredibly loyal and affectionate. Funny enough, one of his favorite people in the world is our little neighbor who is in second grade. He absolutely adores her, and she adores him right back…unfortunately, her family isn’t able to have a dog.

Story

Meet Peaches— a senior sweetheart looking for her next homeWe’re moving out of state and, heartbreakingly, can’t bring her with us. She deserves an honest introduction, because she deserves the right family.She’s a total cuddler — happiest curled up next to you, and she gives affection generously. She’s great with kids and gets along well with other dogs. Before us, she was a stray, and despite that rough start, she’s shown us over and over how much love she has to give.The one thing we want any potential family to know: she should go to a home without cats. She’s shown predatory behavior toward cats and needs a cat-free household to be safe and set up for success. Outside of that, she’s an easygoing, loving senior girl who just wants a lap to sit on and people to love.

Story

Rocky is a gentle soul who is looking for a patient person to help him settle into his new life. New places and unfamiliar people can be overwhelming for him at first, but once he starts to feel safe, he starts to share his sweet personality. Rocky enjoys taking slow walks where he can sniff and explore at his own pace. As he gets comfortable, he'll happily stay close and lean in for gentle affection. He'll feel most secure in a quiet home where he can adjust at his own speed without too much pressure. If you're the kind of person who appreciates celebrating the little victories along the way, Rocky may be the perfect match for you. He will be placed in a home without children.
