Story
About a year and a half ago or so, my dad picked up a puppy (Thor) in front of a Walmart. He was told that the puppy had all the shots, except for #6. He wasn’t provided with any documentation to verify that he was up-to-date on all his shots. Since, i had no idea when he was born, I gave him a BD of 11/11/24. He wasn’t abused by my dad, I think it’s just a sad way for a puppy with an abundance of energy to live in a 5x7 kennel and let out a couple of times a day to relieve himself. On December 16, 2025, I had him neutered and vaccinated/tested for all the typical healthcare that should have been administered many months ago. He is a sweet, playful puppy. What he needs is a 5-year-old kid to play with and release his pent-up energy. Because of his limited exposure to people, he is a little skittish when meeting new people, but he does eventually warm up.

Story
This is not Rocky‘s fault. He is a loving puppy, and I will never forgive myself for having to do this. I don’t have much support with my children and they are taking on many tasks after school not allowing me to come home and let him out. And I am failing him as far as training him. He definitely needs a family that can give him undivided attention as well as develop all the good things about him. he absolutely loves other dogs, but is very shy around people. He LOVES to play and is so very fast. He has learned to sit but that is about it honestly. He does well some days with potty training and then others he does not. He was born around September 2025. I I received him from a post on Facebook.I will send several bags of food that he enjoys as well as his crate and toys and comfort items.

Story
He’s a loving playful dog. He loves playing with toys. He has a lot of energy so needs a lot of attention and play time. Unfortunately the owner of my place won’t allow him to live here anymore. If I don’t give him to a loving family I will have to take him to the shelter. I will give you a free bag of dog food that comes with him as well as a new collar with a leash.

Story
Louie is a 10 year old good boy who needs a good home. I took him in to foster him almost two years ago and became very attached so I tried to keep him permanently but I'm not financially stable enough to provide him with the care that he deserves. He's the best cuddle bug and has never met a stranger. He enjoys squirrel chasing, naps, and road trips.

Story
Hi, my name is Jerusca and I’m looking to find a beautiful loving home for my dog Zara. I’ve had her since she was 10 weeks and we’ve grown together for the last 4 years. She’s super energetic, friendly and loves attention. However, she can definitely chill when needed and likes to sleep a lot of the day. Everyone who has met her loves her, and she’s make anyone’s day with her playful energy. I would be so glad for Zara to find a new home who embraces her.
