Story
We adopted Colsen from a rescue agency in 2022. He was already a senior dog. We believe he is around 11 or 12, but still lots of life. He is always wagging his tail. He is really sweet and affectionate -- loves attention. And he is pretty low maintenance. He is house trained, but he is a beagle - so he has all the common traits of a beagle: always looking for food, a real escape artist, a lot of barking if he picks up the scent of something. We think he was probably a hunting dog in his previous life. When he's not exploring, he's pretty much a couch potato. We would love to find him a loving, chill home. He gets along well with other dogs and kids older than toddler age. He is not aggressive at all, but he can get a little spooked if an unpredictable toddler is getting in his business. He has snapped at a toddler before who he felt threatened by. Our family has a toddler now, and it is tough to keep them separated all the time.

Story
I’ve had my dog, Usagi, since she was a baby, and she has been a loyal and loving companion ever since. She is a 3-year-old female Pit Bull Terrier (born April 1, 2023), with a beautiful white and blue merle coat with tan markings. Usagi is affectionate, protective, and full of personality. She loves being around people, relaxing at home, and staying close to her owner. She can be playful and energetic, but also enjoys just chilling and being by your side. I am looking for a new home that is stable, patient, and loving, where she can get consistent attention and care. Ideally, someone who understands her breed and can give her the time, structure, and affection she deserves.

Story
Zola is a one and a half Malinois mix. She loves running fast and playing catch, she can be anxious around new dogs but with time will be okay. she is updated on all her shots, just not spayed. I really just want the best for her and she deserves all the attention. I don’t want money for her I just want to replace that with as much love as you can give her

Story
Amos was a rescue from the pound but came home with me extremely happy and kind. He is a big ball of loving muscle who loves attention and chew toys i genuinely don’t think he knows any other thoughts other then hungry and happy. He sometimes forgets how big he is and acts like a lap dog, but he’s a great companion who loves the outdoors and learns commands pretty quickly. Amos is a strong loving dog who is very eager to share his affection with everyone he meets including cats and dogs.

I got Roscoe from a friend when he was just 3 weeks old. He is now 5 and has been the best dog over the years. He is completely house trained/ cage free. Now that I have a new baby of my own, It is time to let Roscoe go to a loving home that has the means to take care of him.
