Story
It is with heavy hearts that we are looking for a new home for Copper, our 7-year-old beagle mix. Copper is a sweet, loyal, and loving companion who has brought so much joy to our family. He has had some challenges with reactive behavior around our one-year-old twins, and while we’ve worked with trainers and done our best to support his progress, we’ve realized that we no longer have the time and consistency needed to help him fully reach his behavior goals. Because of this, we believe Copper would do best in a calm, adult-only home where he can feel relaxed, secure, and truly thrive. This decision has been incredibly difficult, as he is a wonderful companion, and our only wish is to find him a stable, loving home where he can receive the time, attention, and care he deserves.

Story
Sammy is a sweet 6–7-year-old dog who has been a beloved part of our family for the past 4 years. He has a gentle, loyal nature and loves being close to his people. Recently, Sammy suffered a spinal injury that left him unable to walk on his back legs. He is currently incontinent and requires daily care, including wearing diapers. Specialists have recommended surgery that could help him walk again, but the cost is unfortunately beyond what our family can afford. My mother, who is 72 and has health challenges of her own, loves Sammy deeply but is no longer able to provide the level of care he now needs. We are hoping to find him a compassionate home—ideally someone experienced with special needs pets—who can give him the care, patience, and love he deserves. This is a very difficult decision, but we want the best possible future for Sammy. He is a loving, resilient dog with so much love left to give.

Story
Sammy has been our dog for over five years, and we love her very much. She is very smart and obedient. I often walk her without a leash, and she goes outside in the front yard off leash with me almost every day. Sammy is very energetic. Her love language is going on walks, and she especially loves long walks. She is a bit obsessed with squirrels and loves to chase them. She is okay with other dogs. She loves playing with our neighbor’s dog, but if another dog is aggressive, she will not back down. Sammy is extremely house trained. She has never destroyed anything and has never had any accidents in the house. Three years ago, we had our first child, and Sammy has never quite adjusted. She is anxious around young kids and would do best in a home without them. She has never caused any real harm, but she needs a place where she can feel completely safe.

To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential.   We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.   **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families! Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 9, 2026, 8:12 pm
