Story
Is anyone interested in providing a loving home for Rufus? Someone abandoned him and he followed us home from a walk. We are seeking to rehome him due to no one claiming him and his persistent escape attempts from our backyard. He requires abundant love and attention. Rufus thrives on interaction with both adults and children.Our whole neighborhood is complaining about Rufus escaping all the time and roaming the neighborhood. He is NOT a vicious dog at all. All he wants is to play and be loved on by all. We can't keep him any longer due to the complaints and believe me they are very harsh to us about him. We do NOT want to take him to PAWS because there is a probability that he will be euthenized because they are so overpopulated. Please someone give him a good, loving home.

Story
Loves to swim in the lake, good recall off leash, adores cats and other pets, does not jump onto furniture or counters. Listens to commands, loves bubbles baths and vegetables. Prefers a harness to a collar leash and dog parks are okay, but a hiking path or lake is the bees knees for this adventurous spirit. Takes his naps seriously, not going to play fetch, but loves to be outside for its nature. You want to chill he wants to chill. Lay back and he’ll lay back too. Just a good spirit.

Story
We have temporarily rehomed Bolt from a friend who was unable to keep him in their apartment which had a no pet clause. He was born August 20 2025. He is about 50 to 60 pounds. He is current on all his shots. He was neutered the end of June of 2026 and was microchipped at the same time. He is a high energy dog that loves to run and play. He is good on walks and does not tug on the leash. He understands come, sit, down (drop), and roll over. He sometimes understands no. He loves to be hugged and snuggled. He is house broken. We have a large crate for him, food, bed, toys and about 5 more months of heart worm. He is a good dog, he is just too big for us. We would be happy to arrange meet and greet.

Story
Oliver will be 2 years old July 25th. He is a love bug who enjoys cuddling, playing fetch and giving kisses. He is very loyal and protective. I am looking to rehome because my older dog (who is twice Ollie’s size) keeps fighting him and I don’t want him to get seriously injured. He would probably do best in a single dog family. He has been good with all people and will make a great companion for someone.
