Story
Bentley – 3-Year-Old Black Lab Mix Looking for a Forever Home Bentley is an approximately 3-year-old Black Lab mix who came to us as a foster about a year ago. His original owner moved out of state and never came back for him. We had planned to foster him temporarily, but with several pets already, we can’t keep him long-term. Bentley is a sweet, friendly dog who loves people. He’s house-trained, uses a dog door, enjoys walks and running in the yard, and is an all-around great companion. He gets a little nervous during thunderstorms and likes to stay close to his people, but otherwise has a calm, loving personality. We’re hoping to find Bentley the forever home he deserves.

Thor is such a sweet dog. So gentle with kids and our small dogs. Very well behaved and affectionate. He has had an issue with his brother and our alpha of our 8 dogs. Crate trained and house trained. Has not used a leash much with us leaving on multiple acres in a rural area. We have had Thor since he was 8 weeks old.

Story
Mezcalito is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who came into my life through a former roommate. He is a very sweet, loving, and friendly dog who enjoys being around people and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He has a gentle personality and adapts well to new environments once he feels comfortable.Some words I would use to describe Mezcalito are affectionate, loyal, friendly, gentle, playful, and well-mannered. He loves companionship and would do best in a home where he receives plenty of love, attention, and care.This is a very difficult decision for me, but due to unexpected financial hardships and housing instability, I am seeking assistance and find a new family for him so that Mezcalito can remain safe and well cared.

Story
Hello! Willie Nelson is looking for a furever home. We took him in a few years ago to help out a friend that found him malnourished. We don't know his history or his age. We suspected that he was abused. Our best guess at age is around 8-10 years old. He is a sweet, cuddly, big ol lap dog. Willie is house trained, crate trained, knows several commands (sit, stay, down, go, here, etc.), has good recall, loves to run and play but can also just chill in the yard or on the sofa with you. He is neutered and microchipped. Willie is good with our geriatric cat, however, I am not sure how he is with other cats as we have not had any others at our home. He is good with other dogs that are not aggressive. He is good with men, women, and older children (around 7-10 and up). He has no previous incidents of biting. Ideally, Willie's new home would be a place where he can get plenty of outdoor time, play time, and lots cuddles.We are rehoming due to small child and allergies.

Story
So, I rescued copper about a year ago from an old co worker who I don’t think treated him the best. He is an incredibly sweet dog, who loves to be affectionate. Though he is a very energetic dog due to him only being a year and a half old so keep that in mind if you want to adopt him! He needs a home who will be able to keep up with the little rascals energy, preferably with another dog but he does just fine on his own. I don’t need any money for him and I’ll send all of his toys along with him, I just him to go to a good home. The entire reason I’m unfortunately having to give him up is because I’ve moved back home to take care of my mother who is allergic to him and I have no one else who is capable of taking him in.
