Meet Butta 🐶🤎 I’m looking for a loving forever home for my dog Butta. a solid build and an even softer heart. Don’t let his looks fool you Butta is affectionate, loyal, and loves being around his people. He enjoys attention, playtime, and just chilling with you. He would do best with someone who understands the breed and can give him the structure, love, and consistency he needs. With the right owner, Butta will be one of the most loyal dogs you’ll ever have. This isn’t an easy decision, so I’m looking for someone serious and committed to giving him a safe, stable, and loving home. If you’re interested or want more info, message me. I just want to make sure Butta goes to the right person 🙏🏽

Story
Big Boy is a young, medium‑size mixed breed dog who originally came from a family home in Alabama. He has lived around teen-age children and adults and has a naturally gentle, friendly temperament. He is medium‑energy, enjoys companionship, and responds well to reassurance and calm environments. He has recently gone through a stressful situation, but despite everything, he remains sweet, affectionate, and eager for stability. He has not shown aggression toward people or other animals. He would do well in a home that can offer consistency, patience, and love as he settles in. Adjectives that describe him: gentle, friendly, loyal, responsive, affectionate, and resilient. He is looking for a safe, stable home where he can feel secure and become part of a loving family.

Story
I recused blue when he was a just 6 weeks. His mother was being sent to the pound with her puppies so that is how Blue came into my family picture. He just turned two May 27th so he still has puppy energy but is very sweet. He also is very cuddly, loves and needs human touch. Will sleep alone with no issues. He does have separation anxiety but he usually calms down after a few minutes of you being gone. Strong cage is suggested if leaving him alone. My son recently passed so he as had a lot of change these past couple months and unfortunately due to me losing employment as well as grief,I can’t maintain his needs. He loves people and just needs love back.

Story
Hello! My name is Bailey and I’m 14 years young. I’m a 20lb, terrier/chihuahua mix who loves cuddles, long nature walks and A/C. I’m house broken, fully vaccinated, dewormed and flea and tick free. I am full of youthful energy and would love a home with a family and kids. A single person or a couple will do nicely as well. I'm looking for a new home because my mom is sick and doesn’t remember things like she used to. She does her best but important things, like my health, get missed. I recently had to have dental surgery. My teeth were literally rotting. I was in pain and had stopped eating. Luckily, my human sister stepped in. She got my teeth problem fixed and I’m back to my active self. My sister would take me but her roommate has allergies. If you’re interested in getting to know me, please reach out.

Story
We received Bee when she was 6 weeks old from a lady selling puppies. We were told that she was a pure Pomeranian. She is now 6 years old with Poodle and Pomeranian textured fur that is black and grey. She's the size of a standard Poodle. She's very sassy and not people friendly even though she'd never been harmed by anyone. Protective of her home, her living space, her toys, and her food. She's incredibly aggressive towards unwanted guests or people she just doesn't like, doesn't listen to command when she's riled up, is very physical when riled up as in she moves anything she's inside of like a crate or kennel. She had broken 2 window panes back home because she decided to faceplant the window to aggressively bark at whoever was on the porch/knocking on the door. Looking to find a home that will have the patience and time to train her. Other than her aggression, she's playful and loves food. Her favorite toys are the textured kind and the water bottled ones or the wrinkly paper kind.
