Story
Meet Piggybeast, a 5 year-old runty pit of about 45 pounds with pretty brindle coat, named for the snorty noises she makes when deeply relaxed. She loves walks, car rides, and running through the woods. She has energy, but is also happy to lounge around. She is spayed, housebroken, healthy, up to date on shots, and doesn't bark much unless she sees a stranger outside. She gets along with some dogs and has been doing great at the place we board her where she gets to play with a large group of dogs. She is not good with cats or chickens, and can be slow to warm up to new people. With a gentle approach, she has been doing good. We originally intended to temporarily foster her after she was abandoned by her previous owner -- that was 3 years ago! But we have reached a point where we can't keep her because of the risk to our cats. We are happy to help with costs to get her set up in a new home where she doesn't have to be isolated from the rest of the animals like she is with us.

Story
Jasmine is a rescue dog who was originally adopted by a family living with my sister. When that family moved away, they left Jasmine behind, and my sister lovingly continued to care for her.Sadly, my sister passed away three months ago, and as her next of kin, I took Jasmine into my home. I am 71 years old and live alone. Jasmine is a sweet, affectionate dog, but she would do best in a home with an active family, preferably with children, and someone who can provide consistent training and discipline.Jasmine is very playful and energetic, but she does not consistently respond to my commands and frequently jumps on me in excitement. Recently, she knocked me down, and I am concerned about the possibility of being injured if it happens again.Because of my age and living situation, I believe Jasmine would thrive in a home better suited to her energy level and training needs, where she can receive the attention, structure, and companionship she deserves!

Sadie is very sweet and child friendly. My son bought her here from Jacksonville and left. She is three years old. I have severe arthritis and am not able to walk her or play with her like she deserves. Therefore I want her to have a home where she can enjoy her youth.
