Story
Meet Onyx!He’s a very energetic mixed breed puppy born on May 22, 2026. He loves to play, run around and snuggle up with you for naps, and he’s the perfect little addition to any family. He’s working on crate and potty training, so please be patient with him. Would love for him to go to a family that has plenty of time, space, and patience for him to grow and learn. He’s my very sweet boy and I would love to stay updated on his journey!Onyx will come with a bag of food, puppy pads, a harness, and his favorite toy

Story
Logan is a Great dog. He’s more than a pet, he’s truly this man’s best friendly. I fought long and hard for six years but I’ve finally come to the decision that it’s time to re-home my fur baby due to severe allergies. I’ve exasperated all options. He’s a very loving, energetic, magnetic dog. I hate it’s come to this but my health is more important.

Story
Loki, despite his occasional nervousness, is the best boy. He always looks out for his loved ones and is always up for a game. I adopted him when he was just a few weeks old. I didn’t know much about him at the time, but I knew I wanted a husky. I raised him for as long as I could, but I think today I realized I don’t have the funds or means to keep him healthy. I don’t want any money; I just want him to have a good family that will take good care of him.

Story
Ace is a 2-year-old German Shepherd that I adopted from the Humane Society. He is looking for a loving, patient home where he can thrive. He is healthy, handsome, enjoys treats, toys, and going for walks. He is highly crate-trained, and naturally prefers being in it, and does well with a consistent routine. Ace is naturally shy and takes time to warm up to new people, so he would do best with someone who understands that trust takes patience. Once he feels comfortable, he is gentle and affectionate in his own way. I’m looking for a home that has the time and experience to help him continue building confidence. He would do best with an adopter who can provide structure, daily exercise, and a calm environment. My priority is finding him a safe, permanent home where he’ll be loved and cared for.
