Story
I adopted Rio about 2 years ago from Halo animal shelter. I live alone and work a very busy schedule. It pains me to have to rehome him, but I believe that Rio would be much happier in a home with someone/people who are able to provide him with more play time, interaction and even just cuddles. Rio is a very sweet, loving doggo. He is very calm but will get in his playful moods. He’s a little dopey, in a very cute way. He is gentle and will be friends with anyone or any dog, as long as they are nice to him!

Story
Selling my sweet, all black purebred German shepherd. She is an outside dog and although she is very sweet, she does tend to nip and can be overprotective. Never was sure how to properly train her. She was born on October 28, 2016 and I have all her paperwork. She has had some shot records but hasn’t been to the vet in a long time. I am not able to care for her and would love to give her up to a caring home that can properly take care of her.

Story
Achilles is a 1 year 8 month old German Shepherd/Husky mix with heterochromia. He has been a wonderful dog to raise from a puppy to his young adult life with undying loyalty to me as his owner. He’s extremely intelligent, and great with other people. The only reason I am giving him up is because he developed territorial dominance over my stuff and his food with my sister, which escalated into a bite. This was his first time biting someone, and he’s played with countless strangers, children, etc. He’s truly a great dog, but would need a home that is single person, or multi-person with each person building a proper bond with him so he doesn’t feel like he’s competing for resources. He’s a strong willed dog, but he has amazing qualities. He knows sit, down, stay, come, paw, other paw, and jump up for a treat. I know he’ll do great with someone capable of putting in the time and effort for his training.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.**Meet Maggie May: Your Quirky, Gentle Hound Mix Companion** Maggie May, a delightful 9-year-old hound mix weighing 53 pounds, found her way to The London Sanctuary from Taylor County animal control. Despite her age, Maggie is full of love and ready to find her forever home. In her foster home, Maggie has proven to be an absolute sweetheart. She adores people, gets along famously with dogs and cats, and quickly became part of the household pack. Maggie is housebroken, loves going on walks, and enjoys playtime with other dogs. There's no aggression in Maggie; she's a gentle soul through and through. While she's not yet proficient in basic commands, she's eager to learn and please. Maggie walks well on a leash, doesn't jump on people, and behaves impeccably with other pets. However, she's a bit of an expert counter surfer, so keeping food out of her reach is a must! During her time in foster care, Maggie has been receiving treatment for dry eye syndrome with drops twice a day, and her foster mom can donate a few months' worth of drops. Her skin issues are clearing up, though she may still have some patches of missing hair that will likely grow back in time. Maggie loves spending time outdoors, so a secure fence would be ideal for her safety and enjoyment. She thrives in a pack-oriented environment and would appreciate the company of another dog or friendly, playful visits with canine pals. One fun fact about Maggie is that she's a quirky and entertaining soul, bringing joy and laughter wherever she goes. Maggie is heartworm negative, up-to-date on all vaccines, microchipped, and already spayed. Her adoption fee is $250, and The London Sanctuary requires home visits to ensure she finds the perfect forever home. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who enjoys walks, playtime, and being part of a pack, Maggie May could be the perfect addition to your family. Contact The London Sanctuary through foster@thelondonsanctuary.com or find them on Facebook or Instagram to meet Maggie in person and start your journey together.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 24, 2024, 6:53 pm
