Story
This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, but I’m looking for a loving home for my 10-year-old Collie/Lab mix. She is a sweet, loyal girl who deserves more time and attention than I’m able to give her right now.She has a tumor on the left side of her neck and is beginning to lose some of her vision, so she would do best with someone who can give her the patience, love, and care she deserves during her senior years. Despite these challenges, she still enjoys companionship and has so much love to give.I am not asking for any money—I just want to find the right home where she’ll be safe, loved, and cared for. If you or someone you know might be interested in giving this sweet girl a comfortable retirement, please send me a message. I would love to answer any questions and make sure she goes to the best possible home.Please be kind. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and I’m only doing it because I want what’s best for her.

Story
Duke is a love bug that needs a loving new home. We just all dont have the time to care for them like they fully. Duke loves anyone that is willing to give him cuddles and pets. Both him and his sister are scary cats and silly. He gets along with kids and cats but he doesn't care for other male dogs getting in his personal space. He is fine with females that's why he has his sister Tinkerbell. We are willing to adopt both of them for anyone that is willing to take both Duke and Tinkerbell but they can also be adopted separate as well they are very adoptable. When you finish giving him pets he likes to remind you that he wants more by pawing at you. He loves to nuzzle you as well. They hardly bark except for noises like thunder or fireworks.

Story
Hello, Tinkerbell is a sweet loving dog who just needs someone's love and attention. She's ok with cats she just wants to play so she tends to scare the cats because the cats don't want to play. We are looking for somebody to take either her or both her and her brother to a better loving home with someone that's going to give them more love and care and attention than we can. This is a difficult decision made by the household. She has slight allergies and crate trained as well. She she gives hugs and loves to play. She also is very quiet and hardly ever barks along with her brother Duke only thing that gets them to even make a sound is things like fireworks or thunder. She also is a big scaredy doggo.

Story
Archie came to us via a family friend who was elderly and couldn't keep him where he was moving to. We took him in and he's been a lovely dog, getting along well with our cats and our now two young sons. Unfortunately our current home is smaller than he needs to remain active and has taken to excessively grooming himself out of boredom. We want him to go to a nice home with plenty of space to run and play while we try and find that for ourselves in the future, but for the time being it's not fair to him. He's a very sweet dog and loves to play with other dogs when he has the opportunity!
