Story
Ace is a great dog full of love and energy, he just recently turned 2 years old in May 2026. He’s house trained and is very intelligent I joke around a lot about how he understands English. He loves to play and is great with kids he’s a perfect family dog. I just recently had a newborn and I have a one year old son so I just don’t have the time or resources I have to downsize from a townhouse to an apartment to save money and don’t have the space, so I would like to find him a good home instead of taking him to the pound he deserves a good life and I don’t want to neglect him he’s great

Story
Mia is an 8-year-old purebred Beagle looking for a loving home. She is a smart dog who knows many commands, including sit, down, out, stay, wait, speak, leave it, off, no, and gentle when taking treats. She enjoys playing fetch, going on walks, and spending time with her people. Mia is food-motivated and learns well with consistency and positive reinforcement. She would do best with an adopter who can provide structure, patience, and regular exercise. She has a lot of love to give and deserves a home where she can thrive.

Story
I’m looking to rehome my 5 year old Yorkiepoo to a loving, patient family. He is potty trained, neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations. He is also on monthly heart worm prevention and flea and tick medication and has not had any health issues. He loves to play, enjoys being around people, and thrives on attention. He does have some separation anxiety and can become anxious when left alone for long periods. King has a fun, affectionate personality but desperately needs continued training and an experienced owner who is willing to provide consistency and structure. I’m committed to finding the right home where he’ll be loved and cared for. If you’re interested, please send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, your home, and your experience with dogs.

Story
Opie is a kind soul. He loves long walks and belly rubs. He is mild mannered and energetic. His favorite pastime is looking at cows and grazing like one. He also enjoys rolling in grass and playing fetch. Think Airbud but cuter. He enjoys a combination of wet and dry food. We think Opie is around 5yrs. Unfortunately a family member abandoned him at our family home and we have taken over his care. My parents are elderly and incapable of caring for him any longer. My partner and I are relocating out of state and can not bring him along. We are looking for an experienced pet owner to take Opie on. Ideally someone who has both the space and time to care for him.
