Story

Sage is a 4-year-old mixed breed with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She was rescued as a puppy from Hilo, Hawaii, and has grown into a sweet, affectionate companion who thrives on connection and a calm environment. Sage is incredibly loving and enjoys being close to her humans whether that mean’s relaxing nearby or following you around the house. One of her most charming traits is how well she gets along with cats. In fact, she seems to think she is one most of the time! She happily coexists with feline friends and fits right in with a cat-friendly household. She also has an athletic side and absolutely loves to run. A yard where she can stretch her legs or an owner who enjoys outdoor activity would make her very happy. Sage would do best in a quieter home where she can relax and feel secure. She is a wonderful dog who just needs the right environment to truly shine.

Story

We adopted Gryffin when he was 3 from the humane society. He is 6 now but we are moving to Germany and they do not allow his breed. He is a very chill dog, likes to be inside, cuddle and lay somewhere soft. He has very minimal barking and is great with children. He is a little anxious outside when things or people surprise him. He walks well with a gentle leader. He seems anxious around men with beards. He has loved our family well and does great with my crazy children. We really want him to have a comfortable, loving home.

Story

We have had Jasmine since she was 8 weeks old. She has been with us more than 10 years. Jasmine was born in Portland, OR and completed obedience training. She has been a great part of our family. We moved to Honolulu, Hawaii and Jasmine came with us. She was a loyal companion and a great pet (although she does have some behavior issues/is reactive to other dogs). We lived together in Hawaii for 6 years, then relocated across the country to Pennsylvania. Jasmine developed large mammary tumors and cysts that needed to be removed. She underwent surgery in November 2025 and has not made a full recovery - her fur hasn't grown back, and she has trouble with her back legs. We are now in Florida with a newborn, toddler, and aging parent, and Jasmine is requiring more care than we can provide. She has urinary issues that have been leading to accidents in the house. We are looking for someone who has more time and energy to care for her.
