Story
We are sad to say we need to find a new and loving home for our 1 1/2 yr old pup Rocky. Several months ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. We can no longer give Rocky the attention, exercise and training he deserves. Rocky needs a home where he can run & play and be loved. He has been neutered and he is crate trained. He’s a sweet dog and is great with other dogs and loves people. He would make a loyal and loving companion. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Kim at (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Story
Meet Penny, Sweet Penny! She was a rescue for my son approx 2 years ago. He took a 180 career turn and now I have Penny. I am gone all day nearly 5 days a week including many nights and want her to be in a situation where she can be loved on and with people more often. Penny is sweet as can be. She is great around other dogs, sweet with children and very kind. She's approx 3yo. She likes her food - she is not aggressive but gobbles hers down quickly and will gobble down her home siblings food, as well. I just feed them and sit with them while they eat and she doesn't bother the other dog. (I have her sibling - not by blood - for adoption, as well). Penny has a lot of energy and would best be suited with a yard and fenced area. She doesn't run away, is house trained, and not destructive in any way. She needs a loving family, with or without children, with or without other dogs, and access to a yard or property to run on occasion. I am willing to pay any vet bills for up to 9 months.

Story
Meet Auggie Auggie is seeking a local, adult only home with a fenced yard and a similarly sized playmate! Auggie is an adorable 5 yr old, 15 lb Pug/Chihuahua mix who was picked up a stray and never reclaimed. He was highly stressed in the shelter and we didn’t hesitate to pull him when his time was up. Auggie is a sweet silly boy, a definite lap dog and does expect full furniture privileges. He loves toys! He enjoys going for walks and rides in the car. Auggie loves to play with other similar sized energetic dogs but is intimidated by bigger dogs. He is looking for a home with another small dog and will not be placed in a home with big dogs! . Older dogs may not appreciate his enthusiasm. He does okay with a dog savvy cat but for cats not used to dogs he would not be a good fit. Auggie is a resource guarder and because of this he will not be placed in a home with children. He has super sensitive hearing and will protect you from the UPS truck so apartment living is not in his future! Auggie is crate trained and housetrained. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, HW tested negative and on prevention. He does need to lose a couple pounds. Auggie has been in foster care for quite some time now and we really dont know why - we know the perfect home is out there somewhere! LOCAL INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE

She can be a shy with new dogs and new people. She is crate and house trained and enjoys playing with toys and taking walks. Anne does well in the car and is very much a lap dog. Anne is leash and off leash trained; she has great manners. She will do best with a dog or two for socialization and snuggles.
