Story
Her name is Meimei (pronounced May-May). We originally got her from a friend, and she’s been part of our family since she was a puppy. She’s crate trained (but not fully house trained yet) and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and no. Meimei is extremely playful and energetic. She grew up around our two young sons (ages 5 and 2) and is frequently around our nieces and nephew—she’s never had issues with children or other dogs. She’s been with our lab mix, Woody, since she was little, and the two of them get along great. She loves being outdoors and prefers to be with her people. She gets sad when she’s in the crate, but she doesn’t whine or bark to get out. Her favorite toys are stuffed animals (she tears through them pretty quickly), and she doesn’t like rubber or plastic toys. She eats mostly wet food and can be picky with dry kibble. Right now, she’s on Purina One Lamb & Beef, and sometimes the Sam’s Club version of the same flavor. Meimei is a sweet, loving dog

Story
Bailey is an amazing dog, she was rescued from the outskirts of Kansas and was lovable from the beginning. She loves attention and is amazing around everyone. Her only bad point is she doesnt know personal space. She gets super excited about everything and will play with you all day long if she could. My schedule simply doesnt allow me.to care for her as much as she needs and deserves. She has never bitten a sole, she listens to all basic commands and is well potty trained. I just want her to go to a caring home.

Story
She is 7 years old with all the energy of a puppy - young life stage. So, she’s perfect if you have an active life style and/or children. Also, she has been an inside dog all her life. Ideally, I want her to go to a loving home that gives her a better life than I can offer right now. All I ask is for her to be treated with kindness and respect.

Story
Winnie is a whirlwind of joy wrapped in fur! She’s energetic, playful, and absolutely adores kids. Equal parts athlete and cuddle bug, she’s convinced she’s a lap dog—no matter her size. She gets along great with other dogs but would prefer a home without small animals such as cats. We need to rehome her as we have two cats and even when she’s in the crate she gets aggressive towards them. Winnie is crate trained and comfortable in her crate, and while she’s still learning housebreaking, she just needs a patient family to help her along. Winnie greets everyone with full-body excitement—expect wiggles and happy jumps! She’s leash trained, loves walks, and is clever enough to climb chain-link fences when she wants to explore her surroundings. Car rides aren’t her favorite yet, but she’s working on it. Goofy, affectionate, and full of life, Winnie is ready to love, play, and snuggle her way into the right family’s heart. 💛

Story
Hello everyone my name is Donavon, I met precious on Aug 29,2023. I was checking my mail box and I saw this little dog walking the street and she almost got hit by a UPS truck. I immediately call her over and she came over ever so nicely and I fell in love. I took her to the animal control to see if she was microchip and they said no. So I adopted her that day and got her fixed, and she been with me ever since. She is up to date with all her shots and have a 3 year rabies vaccine. I also got her the 6 month heart worm prevention. She is super pet friendly and loves people. Precious has no bit of aggression in her. She about 2 years and 4 months year old. She is house trained and outside trained. I unfortunately having to give her up due to health problems with me and I'm no longer able to take care of her. Precious will come with all basic pet supplies. If you are interested please feel free to contact me at 706-325-3908 and my email is Donavonhobley@gmail.com. Thank you so much
