Story
I need either a big yard to run in or someone that can keep me in the house. I will be your bestest friend and will walk with you every step you take, just unfortunately my owner has a lot of health issues that she can’t take care of me. I know I would be a great dog for anyone that will love and care for me as much as she has! Oh yeah I ❤️🐶 bully rubs and I do sit and stay most of the time when I’m told and when I get rewards(treats)!

Story
Meet OJ, the sweetest cuddler that ever lived. He will steal your heart (and your sofa) with one look. His birthday is March 26, 2019. He was my sister’s baby first, but sadly she passed away and OJ has been with me ever since. I want nothing more than to give this big baby the best home. It breaks my heart to part with him, but he doesn’t get along with one of my dogs. He gets along with some dogs and not others and so I feel that he would thrive in a home as an only pet. He should not be in a home with cats. He is excellent with kids. My toddlers climb all over him and love on him. He just wants all the pets and rubs. He’s very patient and docile with kids. OJ’s favorite things are all things food, chew toys, comfy beds and blankets, cuddles, belly rubs and scratches, whipped cream (he comes running when he hears the can), and time outside catching a frisbee or going for walks. If you are looking for a companion and a best friend, you found his profile.

Story
I have a Shar Pei Lab mix, we adopted him in December from Polk county shelter. They did not tell us he was heartworm positive until the paperwork was signed. My roommated that adopted him wanted a companion while he was going through prostate cancer treatment. My roommate also has congestive heart failure. After the cancer treatment he was admitted to the hospital for 4 heart stints that was not planned, Since then we have tried to work with the dog to get his nails trimmed and he has snapped at us. The heartworm treatments are extraordinary expensive. We live on a fix income. The dog is also somewhat aggressive. We've had to crate him when the grandchildern come over. He also keeps getting out of the fenced yard no matter how many times I try to fix the yard. I'm at my wits end to try to save this dog. He is crate trained and house broken. He's also been neutered. He does best around females. Any help would be appreciated or help giving him a good home. I do not how well he would be

Story
In 2024, Freddie was found abandoned on the side of the road (with her whole family [7]. ) Born at the end of March, shes almost a year, and as sweet as ever! The last of the litter and the smallest of the bunch! Her siblings have gone to loving homes but we will not give up on the search for hers. She's been primarily an outside dog and needs a safe secure place with loving parent(s). She is CRATE TRAINED and needs a real home. Shes super spunky! Especially when she sees familiar faces or food. She can sit and listen to commands. We know her family is still looking for her too❤️
