Story

Meet Gigi 🐾 Gigi is a 7-year-old Husky mix with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. Though she can appear a bit intimidating at first because of her looks, she is truly very sweet, calm, and affectionate once she feels comfortable. Gigi is naturally a little shy and tends to observe before jumping in, but her loving nature shines through quickly. She has been with our family since she was young and, like her brother Archie, has traveled with us through several military moves. Gigi is fully house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She does well with children and other dogs. Gigi is deeply bonded to her brother Archie and looks to him for guidance—he leads, and she happily follows. They have spent their entire lives together and share a special connection, so a home that could keep them together would be ideal. Gigi would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, supported, and continue to grow in confidence alongside her brother.

Story

Marge is an approximately 8-year-old, short and stocky American Bully with a big blocky head & an even bigger heart.I adopted Marge in 2020 after she spent much of her life chained outside and being used for breeding. Despite that difficult start, she absolutely adores people. She forms deep bonds quickly & loves being close to her humans. If you're looking for a constant companion who wants nothing more than to love & be loved, Marge is your girl.Her favorite things are simple: leisurely walks, car rides where she can be your co-pilot, and curling up next to you on the couch for as many cuddles as you'll give her. She's happiest just being with her person.Marge does need a very specific home to be successful. She must be the only animal in the household—no dogs, cats, or other pets. She would thrive in a calm, low-stress home where she can relax and enjoy being the center of someone's world.If you have a quiet home, no other animals, & room in your heart, Marge is waiting to meet you.

Fern is a very sweet & loving 4 year old family dog.She has grown up around kids and has always had another dog in the house. She has stayed with a family for a short time that had a cat. Fern loves to run while on the leash next to my bike. She is very loyal and protective of her people & property and loves to cuddle. Our other younger female dog is not getting along with her and so we are sadly needing to rehome her. We hope to find her a loving, happy home. If you would like to foster her before adopting we are happy to do so.

Story

🐾🤍 Please help me find a loving home for my beautiful Luna. 🤍🐾 This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. Luna is my beautiful 5-year-old Siberian Husky, and she is so much more than a dog to me. She has been part of my life and my family, and the decision to rehome her is coming with a very heavy heart. Luna is such a fun girl with a personality all her own. She can make you smile just by being herself, and one of my favorite things about her is that she actually poses for pictures. 📸😂 Somehow, she always seems to know when the camera is on her. She’s beautiful—and I think she knows it! Behind those gorgeous Husky eyes is a special soul who deserves love, patience, attention, and a home where she can truly thrive. I wish circumstances were different and that I never had to write this post. Rehoming Luna does not mean that I stopped loving her. In fact, it is because I love her so deeply that I want to make sure her next chapter is a happy one.

Details

Story

Bruno is a purebred miniature Australian Shepard that was bought from a breeder in Citrus, Florida. He is American Kennel Club certified and the sweetest, most fun-loving dog ever. He is only about 7 months old now and is in good health, but hasn't been neutered yet because we are waiting for him to grow to his full size. He loves adventures and is down to do anything that his humans are doing as long as he can come with. Right now, he is a psychiatric service dog, so he has certification and training. If I could keep him I would, but unfortunately I am in college and feel like I am not giving him the life he deserves and what I want to give him. Preferably I would love for him to be on a farm or in a home where people are outdoors and will do activities with him. He is a great hiker and is very good at staying near you and keeping his enthusiasm even on 6 mile hikes. He likes the water as well and has been paddle boarding a couple times. He is an amazing dog and anyone would be lucky.
