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.

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
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
