Story
Rebel is my best friend in the world and I love her with all of my heart. I have had her for 8 years and she has been there for me through it all. I am going to Paraguay this summer and would love nothing more than to take her with me- but I am worried that the trip will not be good for her health and I am worried that she may not adjust well to life there and the extreme weather. I am hoping to find a home for her where she could have a yard and/or go for walks with someone (she lovvvves walks) and I would be happy to help pay for expenses indefinitely. Rebel loves all people and she is a big cuddler. She has no health problems and is a very happy girl. She gets along with SOME other dogs… but not all. She was attacked by another dog, so she usually gets scared of other dogs at first, and then if she meets them and trusts them, she does okay with them and will even cuddle with them and play. Please let me know if you may be interested in having this sweet girl in your life. Thank you.

Story
Sadie was a rescue from a hoarding situation when still a puppy, the runt of the litter. She's been so loved and spoiled for the past year, but unfortunately it's hard to sustain a dog on just love when you realize you're in over your head. She's energetic, playful, sweet and loveable; but between increasingly hard financial/medical issues and now housing disasters we're just doing her a disservice. She would be perfect for a home with older children or an active outdoor family, preferably with a fenced in yard since it's what she's used to but she also stays away from the road on her own

She’s friendly, social, and always excited to meet new people. Whether she’s bouncing around the yard or curling up for a cuddle session, Kiki brings joy wherever she goes. She does wonderfully with other dogs, especially those close to her size, and her gentle, curious nature makes her easy to love. We’re not sure how she feels about cats yet, but she’s open to new experiences and eager to learn. If you’re looking for a cuddly, cheerful, playful companion who loves both adventure and lap time, Kiki might be the perfect little sidekick for you.Please help us make room to save more homeless pets!!!
