Story
Lucy, our beloved 16-year-old Cocker Spaniel, has been a loyal and devoted companion throughout her life. She has always been protective of her family, watching over us with unwavering dedication and love. Despite her age, Lucy still carries a remarkable spirit and determination that shines through every day. Her gentle heart, steadfast loyalty, and resilient nature have brought us countless years of joy, comfort, and companionship.Unfortunately, due to changes in our circumstances, we are no longer able to provide Lucy with the level of care and attention she deserves in her senior years. Our hope is to find a loving home or rescue that can offer her comfort, patience, and companionship for the time she has remaining. Lucy has given our family a lifetime of unconditional love, and we want to ensure she receives the same kindness and care in return.

Story
Athena is a sweet girl, but she is very resource guarded we had an incident with our other senior male dog and herself. Do to this incident we now need to rehome her. She does not do well with other animals. She polices walks, jumping, and getting attention from her owner, we are newly pregnant and expecting our first child in November. We currently have both dogs separated in our house and they don’t see each other. So she has her own space and is doing very well during this transition period! She loves to play and is easy to love. She can be sweet with people but requires an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and can provide a safe environment with no other animals. She does better also with children ages 5 and up! This is an urgent rehoming situation. I want her placed responsibly and safely. Please message only if you are serious and able to handle a dog that needs to be an only pet.

Story
Dopey is the puppy of my previous dog, Wisdom. I’ve had him since he fit in the palm of my hand. In those five years, he has been the best dog I could ever ask for. After moving out of an abusive situation, I’ve struggled to find a home for Dopey. He’s very energetic, very affectionate, and needs someone to love him as much as he loves everyone.

Story
Munchkin is almost 2 years old and weighs 19lbs. She has been the sweetest and most affectionate dog ever and is excellent with kids of all ages.Munchkin loves to run, play fetch, and enjoys playing hide and seek with her stuffies/toys. We are unsure how she is around cats, but is fine with dogs as long as she is introduced properly. While she does well on walks, she dislikes getting the harness and leash on her (but needs it as she has gotten out of just a leash and collar). Munchkin's idea of a perfect day is lounging on a sofa (but must be on a soft blanket) getting pets/love, and running after treats thrown down a hallway. Her favorite toy is any soft plush, especially squeaking ones. She is up to date on all vaccines and gets monthly heartworm/flea/tick medicine.**Munchkin does have an allergy to chicken and poultry products. We feed her a salmon and rice dry food formula and treats are either salmon, rice, or sweet potato based.**

Story
Leo is 3 year old mixed breed who’s full of spirit. He is in-love with kids, adults, and gets along great with other dogs! Due to a new job field, I am no longer able to give my sweet boy the time he deserves. I am searching for a loving and caring family to take my amazing dog home! Once you meet him, you will understand why you must have him! He’s amazing in so many different ways and it breaks my heart to have to let him go. Leo is my depression dog and we all know what that does to our hearts! I hope once my sweet boy finds a new home, his new owners allow me to ask about him from time to time. Some of Leo’s fun facts are he loves hiking, dog parks, watching you cook, home trained, sit, stand, stay, high fives and extremely protective but in a good friendly way!! Price listed also includes any left over food I have for him, cage, doggy trash bags, and etc. He is also good to go with all his shots and does great at the doctors!

Story
About Hermes:He’s four years old.He’s a Chinese sharpei & pit mix. (We do have his full DNA panel if you’d like it!)He’s got no known medical issues.He’s very sassy. He’s up to date on his shots.He’s good with kids. He’s never had any major behavioral issues, is house broken, no history of destructive behavior or aggression towards humans, female dogs, cats or small mammals like guinea pigs.He could benefit from anxiety medication as he does have a bit of anxious attachment.He loves lazing around or going for walks & hikes. He’s extremely adaptable and just happy to be with his people.I think he would make an amazing pet in a home without other males. Hermes does not get along with our older male but has never had any issues with any other males or female dogs. Right now, we have to keep them apart & divide our attention between the males, leaving both missing out on love & time with us.Please, please consider our boy. He deserves all the love in the world. Thank you for reading!
