Story
*UPDATE: BEING TREATED FOR HW AS OF 11/13/25* Meet Our Sweet Foster Pup! This handsome boy trotted into our lives on January 20, 2025, and has been stealing hearts ever since. He's a playful, gentle, and well-socialized companion who's been an absolute joy to have in our home. He gets along wonderfully with our three dogs and is showing a healthy curiosity toward cats; he finds them intriguing but hasn't shown any signs of aggression. Whether he's doing his adorable little trot around the yard or curling up for a nap, he's always easygoing and sweet-natured. We could see him fitting in beautifully with an established pack, but he would also thrive as an only dog with plenty of love, walks, and playtime. - Neutered - Microchipped - Fully vetted - No behavioral issues - Ready for his forever home We're not in a rush; we're looking for the right fit for this special guy. The adoption fee is negotiable and just helps cover some of the care he's received so far.

Story
Acquired from Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Shelter on 11/29/2025. 2 years Old. Was only in Shelter 2 weeks. The most intelligent dog we've ever had. Working with a dog trainer each week starting last week. Already can sit on command. Energetic but an hour of exercise does the trick as she sleeps after exercising. She also snoozes as we are watching tv. She sleeps in our unfinished basement thru the night and doesn't go to the bathroom at all and doesn't go to the bathroom at all when we leave her in the laundry room for up to 4 to 5 hours at time. We want to rehome her as my wife and I have decided, as good as she is, we just don't have time for any pet, as we are in our 60's, especially given my mother in law is coming to stay with us in a couple of weeks.

Story
I love this little dog so much. My mom bought him for me as a gift to get me through a rough patch with a divorce and the passing of my previous dog. He has always been my lap dog and constant companion. I got remarried 4.5 years ago and he did not get along with my stepkids. More recently my wife and I have had two more (3 years and a 2 month old) and he is anxious, skittish, shows signs of aggression towards the children. He is now 13 and recently went deaf. Keeping him sequestered has made him very unhappy and we have a great deal of tension in the household now. I want what’s best for the family and for Sam. I am happy to pay for all of his food and vet care for the duration of his life but I need him in a great home where he will be loved and enjoy being a lap dog once more.

Ace is an adorable and loving puppy that will be turning 2 years old November 18th. He likes to play with his toys, he's friendly and enjoy family time. He's very energetic and playful. We've had Ace since he was a few weeks old, unable to keep him because of my son's recent diagnosis of allergies.

Story
Trevor is about 4 1/2 years old. He was a rescue and is a lovable, affectionate good boy. We are not able to give him the exercise and interaction he really needs due to our health. We are aging and will be moving to a much smaller place in late December. Trevor would do well with an active, loving owner. He’s good with other dogs, but not cats. He would be fine with kids who are of school age, but he loves to jump and is quite strong, so I’m not sure how he would be with infants/toddlers. We hope for someone to love him as much as we do, but who has more energy for this active boy. (Neutered and updated on vaccinations) He also loves to snuggle and gives great kisses!
