Story
Meet Tripp, professional toy destroyer and full-time shadow. Wherever you are, he’s right at your feet. That’s how he got the name, and he’ll happily trip you to prove it. Tripp was born with two tiny eyes, and one had to be removed because it wasn’t functional. He can’t see much, and he doesn’t seem to know it. He plays hard, runs happy, and tears through a stuffed toy like it owes him money. He’s silly, high energy, and thrilled by pretty much everything. He gets along great with other dogs and cats. What Tripp wants most is his person: someone who’ll toss him a toy, let him sit on their feet, and keep the furniture rearranging to a minimum so he can learn his space.

Story
I’m Maxine, 4 and 1/2 years old. My owner passed away after an automobile accident. I like to go on walks, car rides and hanging out at bow wow camp playing with other dogs. I’m house trained and enjoying running outside. Like belly rubs and getting freezer treats and bones. I’ve only had one owner and I do have sensitive skin so I eat food for that but enjoy anything off the grill. I’m hoping for a home soon. I’ve never been around children so I think adults are best.

Story
Xena is the sweetest old girl who just wants someone to love on her. She is 14, but you would never know it. She loves to play and be outside; she will be your shadow and just wants to know what is going on. She does not like thunder or other dogs. To my knowledge, she has never interacted with cats, and she does okay around kids but shouldn't live with them, as they make her very anxious. She came to me about a year ago from a friend who couldn't take her to her new home. She is a rescue dog who was originally used as a breeder before she was found. She is very loved, and it pains me to let her go, but she isn't happy in my home because I have a 2-year-old. She loves walks but needs to be on a leash. If left unattended, she will dig in the backyard and lie in said hole. I want to find her someone who can give her lots of love in her final years, and I am willing to maintain contact and help out with her needs if needed.
