Story
Lily is a very loving, hyper girl. I got her as a puppy from a no harm shelter. The place I’m living won’t allow her to come inside and I’m moving very soon, so the place I’m moving to won’t allow me to bring her. She needs a home that will show her lots of love and attention. She hasn’t been around other animals, so I don’t know how she will be around them, she is hyper and tends to jump on kids wanting to play. She also would do best around women owners. Men can be present, but not as sole owners. She has a fear of males, but can tolerate them if a woman is present.

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, Meet Taizoo, my dog. He is one year old. Very friendly and good with humans and animals both. Sweet little boy. I’m moving back to my home country due to my health issues and I cannot afford to pay to take him with me since it cost more than 10000 to take him back with me. I m looking for a loving home who will love him and keep him safe. Thank you

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
My name is Benny and like any Elton John song I'm sure you'll love me! I am a big (although slow moving) guy who's looking for a place to crash and stay the night...or hopefully furever!!! I love some good pets and scritches. Sunbathing or snoozin are neck n neck as first place for my favorite pastimes. I walk great on leash and keep my kennel clean, some of my friends would go as far to say I am a well-rounded gentleman! Someone who takes life as it comes and can be my cuddle buddy would be the perfect fit for me!🚀 If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.mehs.org/adoptables If you are interested in learning more about all of our adoptables or the adoption process at MEHS, please email info@mehs.org All of our dogs and cats will be microchipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.
