Max is a gentle soul with a heart full of love and a nose for adventure. At 8 years young, he’s the perfect mix of mellow and curious—happy to spend his days curled up beside you or exploring the great outdoors at a relaxed pace. One of Max’s most endearing qualities? He rarely barks. This quiet companion is all about peaceful vibes and calm company, making him a perfect fit for a tranquil home environment. Whether it’s a cozy nap on the couch or a slow stroll through the yard, Max is happiest when he’s close to his people and surrounded by nature. He’s house-trained, easygoing, and gets along well with other calm pets. His favorite things? Belly rubs, soft blankets, and feeling the breeze on his face. Max is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years with someone who appreciates the simple joys of companionship. If you’re ready for a loyal friend who will bring warmth and peace to your life, Max is waiting to meet you.

Story
Kelce is a good boy. He is house trained, however, there is a story with this. We have chickens and he likes to get in their pen and play. We bought a new pen and he was pushing in so we bought an electric fence. He then became terrified of going outside and will now rather potty inside than outside. The fence has been shut down and he potties outside again but I can't afford to replace the chicken pen and he's not figuring out how to stay out. He doesn't hurt the chickens, in any way. He is also not as socialized as he should be. He is protective of my house and will bark when anyone comes close but he is a sweet, loving, and generally well behaved. We have another small and large dog as well as a cat. He is social with the different animals but still may need to meet new animals before becoming friendly. My children do not spend as much time with him as he would like. He is an active dog needing an active life. Please let me know if you'd like to meet him!

Story
Sweet dog adopted from Florida in 2022. He is has never nipped or even growled at us or our children. He has only barked a handful of times in the time we’ve had him. He’s not the best at commands but likes to spend most of his time laying in bed or out in the sun. Decent on a leash and always wants pets.

Story
My brother had purchased her from a family who had babies of her breed back in 2015 or 2016 I believe. We were told shes German Shepherd mixed with Labrador. She is about 9 yrs old, she's really energetic, loves to play and be outside! And she loves company from people. Unfortunately, we all have busy schedules and can't play as much with her anymore and we also recently moved with family and apparently my aunt is allergic so we can not keep her. Also we dont want her to go to an animal shelter because we believe she will be good with another family that will give her the time and love that she needs. Thanks for reading.

Story
Hello, my name is Prince!I am a two-year-old, medium-sized terrier mix of some sort. I was surrendered to the shelter because my previous owner has passed away. I can be a little shy when first meeting but warm up very quickly, and I have been known to be rather independent. I did not live with children, and despite living with so many other dogs, my previous home stated I would likely not do well with other dogs. I am still an amazing guy despite, so see you soon!Weight: 33.4 lbs Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 33.4 Age: 2yrs 4mths 1wks
