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
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
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!

I need help rehoming my sweet cockapoo Buster before July 10th! He is a super silly and cute little ball of energy, but he also loves his cuddles throughout the day. he loves just being in the same space as someone if you’re looking for an adorable little shadow ;). he loves car rides, sitting on the porch or patio, and playing fetch for hours. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations and has no dietary restrictions or health issues. help him find an adventure and cuddle buddy!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nala is a great character! She is 8 months old and recently adopted in November this past year. I currently have two other dogs and have worked on getting them accustomed to each other, but unfortunately my 8yr old dog has been having a hard time causing her to now have some health issues. Nala needs a home that can dedicate more time to her growing up, allowing her the space to be herself without restriction! Nala is crate trained, and we have been working on potty training - but she still has some accidents here and there! On leash and around others in public she does great! We’ve introduced that constantly to make sure she wouldn’t have anxiety in public. As for children she hasn’t been exposed to that environment, although she has never shown aggression, she loves to play!! If not for my senior dog having a hard time she pairs greatly with my three year old dog as they play with each other and have not shown any aggression.

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!
