Story
We rescued Bear when he was very ill and in need of care and compassion. With time, patience, and lots of love, Bear has made an incredible recovery and has blossomed into a happy, healthy dog. He is energetic, lovable, and always ready to brighten someone's day with his playful personality and affectionate nature.Bear loves spending time with people and would thrive in a home where he can receive the love and attention he deserves. After everything he has overcome, we would love to see him find a forever home where he can continue to grow, play, and be a cherished member of the family. ❤️

Story
Joey is a fun, lovable 5yr old. He is crate trained and enjoys his crate.Hes a very clingy guy. He loves to be by your side and loves attention. Hes good with cats and dogs. Hes excellent with children. He needs to be walked or have a fenced yard. He probably could really use another dog companion.He is super food motivated. He comes with food, toys, all supplies, a crate and dog seat. Due to my move and work hours, and living situation I cannot give him the attention he deserves or keep him.

Story
This is Nebula, she is 3. Unfortunately we have been needing to rehome her for some time now.She is housed trained, crate trained, loves toys, very vocal, she knows sit, focus, touch, leave it, drop it, wait, stay, spin, down, crawl. We have birds so she is used to them they all tease each other, never been with a cat, very interested in reptiles, and our bunny. When we got her we ere told she is not good with small animals at all. She would be best as an only dog. If you are serious in taking her I would like to have a meet up to make sure it works before just giving her to you. She has a 48 in crate, collars, leashes, harness, bed, bowls, clothes and toys! Let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

Story
Holly is a sweet miniature poodle that was raised from a pup by my late grandmother. We took in her when my grandmother was going into a nursing home. Holly has been well loved her entire life and has been a joy. She is current on her shots and was last seen by the vet in December. Holly has a growth on her side, but it does not appear to be bothering her. She is experiencing dental issues due to her age she spends most of her days napping in her bed or cuddling on the recliner. Holly is an affectionate older gal and is extremely intelligent. Unfortunately, due to family health issues, we must find her a new, loving home.

Story
Meet Grace! She is an active, 8 month Pitbull/Cur mix. I originally got her as a young puppy, and she has grown into a cute, energetic girl who loves to stay busy. She enjoys rope toys, chasing balls, and laying in the sand after she’s done playing. She has a lot of energy and would do well in a home that can give her regular exercise, structure, and attention. She is good with other dogs and wants to make friends, though she can be a little skittish at first. Once she feels comfortable, she warms up quickly. She’s smart, eager to learn, and enjoys practicing new tricks. She also has one smaller ear that makes her unique, caused by a light impact from her mom at birth. She is good with kids, but because she’s strong and still learning boundaries, she would do best in a home with teenagers or adults rather than young children. I’m looking for a safe, caring home where she can continue to grow, feel secure, and thrive, ASAP.
