Story
Xeno is a 5-month-old Labrador Retriever mix. We adopted him about a month ago, but we have had issues with him barking at night and our landlord will no longer allow us to have him. We are crushed that we have had so little time with him, as he is currently very shy but very loving.I am:• Currently working on house training• A quick learner who picks up on things quickly• Shy but very affectionate and loving• Not yet familiar with my name, so you can choose a new one for me!• Not good with cats (I have recently started barking and lunging at the cats in my current home)• Likely good with other dogs, as I lived with them before being adoptedWe are hoping Xeno will be adopted by a family with plenty of room for him to run around in. He is a sweet boy, and we hope he finds his forever home soon.💰 Rehoming fee: $50

Story
We adopted Dom about four weeks ago. My son and I have been waiting on getting a dog till I rented a house with a big fenced in backyard. A few months ago we got that house. Unfortunately, there was nothing in my lease about a pet fee. The owner said pets are OK if it’s a cat or a small dog. Did not realize it was gonna be over $1000 a year which I cannot afford Also, I’ve crate and potty trained him and installed a doggie door going to the backyard. I work 8 to 10 hours a day six days a week. I do come home at lunch to take him for a walk, then take him for a long walk after I get off. I did not realize Jack Russell‘s need way way more exercise than all the labradors I’ve had. He has dug under the fence multiple times, which is causing a huge issue. I hate leaving him in a crate more than a few hours.Just want Dom to live somewhere more appropriate for his needs.

Story
AwesomeSauce is approximately 8 years old, 60 lbs, Bulldog/Pitbull/Terrier mix who has had quite a bit of change in her life recently. After her original owner passed away, she was brought from Texas to Georgia by the family and came into our care in March. She is a sweet, loving, and gentle dog who enjoys relaxing, chewing her bones, and playing with her stuffed toys. She is potty-trained, crate trained, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and knows basic commands like sit, say, and paw. Her biggest challenge is being left alone. She can become anxious and vocal, sometimes whining or barking, but she is not destructive. She would do best in a calm, stable, cat-free home and may be happiest as the only pet. We love AwesomeSauce dearly and are not rehoming her because she is unwanted. Our circumstances make it difficult to provide the time and stability she needs. She deserves a loving, patient home where she can feel safe, secure, and cherished.

Story
Very sweet, loving dog. We don’t have the time or resources to train him properly. We also have an elderly cat he doesn’t get along with and it is a problem for us. With the right training this dog is absolutely perfect! He gets along great with children, and he is very affectionate.

Story
Luna is a sweet, loyal Pit Bull who loves being around people. She has a gentle personality and gets along well with everyone she meets. She enjoys spending time with her family, receiving affection, and being included in everyday activities. I'm looking for a loving forever home where Luna will be treated as part of the family and receive the time, attention, and care she deserves. Due to my busy schedule, I'm no longer able to give her the life she deserves, and my priority is finding a home where she can thrive. If I had to describe Luna, I would say she is loving, loyal, affectionate, friendly, gentle, and well-behaved. She has so much love to give and will make a wonderful companion for the right family.
