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, is allergic to chicken & it's byproduct, and he has low-level separation anxiety (he doesn't eat or drink when we aren't home). He loves to snuggle and play outside, along with walks/bike rides. Unfortunately, situations have come up that no longer allow us to keep him. He is a very good boy, and he deserves a good home.

Story
Hi, my name is Arrow. I am 5 years old. I love playing fetch. I love people, especially kids. I am slightly food aggressive. I am very aggressive if I have a bone. I would do best as the only pet but would probably be ok with a cat or female dog. I am not ok having another male dog in the house. I am very loving and playful. I am house broken. I am neutered. I am (not) up to date on shots. My current owner would be willing to pay for required vaccines.

Story
I bought her from a breeder when she was 8 weeks old and she is 9 months today. She loves to run around and would do best with other dogs and a big yard. She is house trained and crate trained. She loves to chew on bones/toys and play. She loves snuggling, snoozing and snoring. She is very sweet and does not bark much. I have only heard her bark a few times. She is a good girl and would do really well on a farm or somewhere that has plenty of room for her to run around.

Story
Sweet, cuddly, and full of energy. She is 3 years old and beautiful. She is great with kids however due to her size and energy level older kids are recommended. She can easy chill out on the couch with you or go for 2 mile walk. She gets along great with other dogs, no experience with any other animals though. She would require a fence or leash while outdoors as she is still working on recall. She has anxiety to fireworks but with trazadone handles it well. She does have some Resource guarding so a separate feeding area is best.

Story
I'm Kenny, a 3-year-old fawn-colored mixed breed boy, and I'm ready to find my forever home! 🐕 At 55 pounds, I'm a solid, strapping guy who's already neutered and ready to settle in with you. I'm a gentle soul with a loyal heart and a sharp mind — I'm the kind of dog who'll stick by your side through thick and thin. Come visit me at the shelter and let's see if we're a perfect match! ❤️
