Story
Shiloh is 6 years old. I got him from a friend 2 months after he was born while I was in collage. He grew up as the only dog , so he doesn’t care for other dogs. He doesn’t like cats, he does well with older kids. He loves cars rides, pup cups, trail walks, and sitting on his bed or couch. Shiloh needs a home with a lot yard space to chill.

Story
Lady was dumped in my neighborhood, and she was pregnant. She looks to be young, no older than 2 years old. My daughter and I felt the need to make sure she was fed and had water during the hot summer days. We do not know where her pups are or if they're ok/healthy. She's grown to trust us as she was very skittish and afraid of us. She has already adopted us as family. Lady is very sweet, calm and loves to play. She's dog friendly, people friendly once she gets to know and trust you. We have yet to hear her bark (not sure why she doesn't bark). We are getting her examined by a mobile vet today 9/26 for vaccinations, etc to make sure she's ok to be placed into a home. We cannot keep her due to our own dog being afraid of her and she's a bit much to handle. Lady has not shown any signs of aggression. She will need to be trained for the simple commands, doesn't appear she's ever been in a car or probably bathed. Please help assist in finding her a good, safe, stable home.

Story
Hey everyone, I’m looking to find a home for this sweet boy. His name is Chico, I’ve been struggling to take care of him for quite some time now both financially and practically. He has some behavioral issues, namely with getting his nails trimmed, but also has some body handling issues. He used to be on Prozac for his anxiety but it stopped working for him. Trazadone does the job a little bit, but he still can be difficult to work with. He’s also been on gabapentin and clomicalm. He does seem to show some improvement with these medications, but as of late, I have not been able to afford them. He is a snuggle bug, loves to burrow under bed sheets. He is not crate trained, but he is highly food motivated and clicker trained. My situation is not temporary, as I will be moving later this year to a home with a small child and other pets, both of which he would not be good with. I would say that he would be better as a single dog household. He will be 7 years old in August. I love him a lot

Story
Daisy was found with her brothers and sisters on the side of a road where someone picked them up and came to the park where my children and I were. We ended up with Daisy. She is a sweet dog who needs lots of love and attention. She has been in the house since we brought her home and has learned how to bark when she needs to go outside (yard). She fears the rain, thunder, and lightning and needs cuddles during that time. She is very playful and happy. As our lives got busier, we realized, we didn't have the time to give her all the love and attention she needed. She gets along with cats and dogs. She is very friendly with children and other adults. She does not bite. She is a great dog who needs lots of room to play, and given lots of love. I am looking for a home with a large open space or a fenced backyard where she can run free. Kids love her and I would love her to go to a home with children that can play with her.
