Story
Kilo's story begins with a lovely owner who unfortunately passed when Kilo was only 2. From there, he went to a shelter where he seemed to get along fine with other dogs, then was adopted by a family who had a few dogs of their own that did not get along with Kilo. That's when and why he came to us, and once he was in our home he had officially loathed other dogs and would try to attack them. We have worked on this for the last few years with minimal progress, but still progress. He should not be in a home with or unleashed around other dogs, but he can finally run the fence line happily with our neighbors dogs. Kilo is terrified of rain/storms (he hides in the bathtub), we believe he's allergic to chicken & it's byproduct (itchy skin, irritation, and ear infections went down significantly when we switched his food), and he has low-level separation anxiety (he doesn't eat or drink when we aren't home). He is a very good boy, and he deserves a home better than we can now give him.

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

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.
