Story
Hank is a senior pitbull that needs a wonderful home to live out his golden years. He is about 11 or 12 and has a little arthritis, other than that he is in pretty good shape! He is very good around adults, kids, individuals with disabilities, and loves LOVES to cuddle. He is not good with cats and prefers smaller dogs, although he is good with large dogs as long as a proper introduction is made. He is allergic to some things like grains and bison so he eats a grain free salmon meal from zamzows. He has separation anxiety since his owner is currently in jail so he will ultimately need a human who he can be around most of the time or be taken along for car rides and errands with his human. He’s very good in a home and loves a backyard to sniff around and lay out in the sun. He ultimately just wants to be your best friend and be your entire world. ♥️

Story
Maddie is 13 years old but still energetic and full of life. She loves walks and running in a yard. She's a cattle dog, so she does follow you around, or she will just sit there most of the day near you. Unfortunately, due to declining health and moving, I can't keep her. She's good with other dogs and cats and has lived with both most of her life. The only thing showing her age is her hearing isn't as good as it used to be.

Story
Below is what I sent to the website: Dear IDAWG folks--I have a brother that suddenly passed away 3 weeks ago. He left behind a 6yr old pure-bred Border Collie that I need to find a home for. He is a super good boy who is well trained, knows his commands, and is very loving. Currently he is very sad and doesn't get where his "herder" is. I can't take him and need to find him an appropriate home. It of course has to be a home that "gets" Borders as he constantly herds and is mission focused. Plus he is sad and confused and will need a lot of love and patience. Can you help?

Bea was adopted in upstate NY. She was going lost and over ridden with fleas in the south 6+ years ago. She needs a simple home and to be taken care of. I'm out of work and will need to move soon and can't keep taking care of her.I'm running out of time to find Bea a home.

Story
He is an outgoing, incredibly smart boy with so much love to give. He has a big personality and an even bigger heart, and he truly thrives on being part of the family. He’s wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs, and just wants to be included in whatever you’re doing. He has plenty of energy and would do best in an active home that can give him the time, structure, and attention he deserves. He loves the toughest toys you can buy, is always ready for hikes or long walks, and never turns down an adventure. At night, he’s happiest curled up under the covers, sleeping right next to his people. We’re making the difficult decision to rehome him as our growing family can no longer prioritize his needs. He would flourish in a home where he’s deeply loved and truly prioritized —a farm or active household would be a dream for him.Please don’t apply for Nemo if you’re not serious about homing him. We’re serious about finding him a good home and we only want people who feel the same way.

Story
Skylar is about 13 years old and has been with me for the past 8 years. He was a rescue and has problems with animal aggression (both dogs and cats). He is very gentle and loving with his humans - once he gets to know someone, he will be their best friend. A new owner should be experienced with animals with aggressive behavior and not have other pets in the home. His behavior with children is unknown, so a home without children is recommended. He is a poodle mix and doesn’t shed. He about 30 pounds.
