Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I am looking to find a forever home for my Sweet Bailey. She’s around 7 years old and appears to be a retriever mix, possibly mixed with Sharpei. Bailey is a gentle older girl, who deserves more time, attention, and companionship, then I’m currently able to give her.Because of my work schedule, she spends too much time alone, and I truly want better for her in this stage of her life. Bailey would do better with someone who is patient, calm and understanding. She’s especially nervous around men and I believe she’s had difficult experiences with them before I adopted her. So any man in the house should be kind, soft-spoken, and comfortable with giving her the time to trust. She’s ok with more calm dogs and seems to do well with my brother’s cat. More than anything, I’m looking for a home where she will be cherished and treated with kindness. This decision has been extremely difficult, and I’m only doing this because I want her to have the life she deserves.

Story
Katie Belle is a very sweet little girl. She is timid yet friendly. She's not a licker, jumper and unfortunately, she is not a cuddler but will ask for love on her time. She is a hound, so her nose is always leading the way. She is starting to lose her hearing. A good clap with your hands gets her attention. She does have a large cyst on her right hind quarters. The vet said that she is too old to survive the surgery. It doesn’t seem to bother her though. She will lay on that side.She is a lovely little girl. She will even help you sing Happy Birthday!She was rescued from a puppy mill around the Tennessee area and recently had puppies when we adopted her about 8 years ago.We lover her so much and would appreciate a family that will love her as much as we love her.

Miniature Dachshund

Hammond, IN

Good with kids, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lilly is a sweet, intelligent, protective schweenie. She loves spending time with family, playing fetch, and pushing any kind of ball around. She’s a very happy and energetic dog. Unfortunately she does have accidents in the home sometimes, but she is a smart dog who needs someone who can dedicate time and attention to her. She’s been around kids from birth so they are not something she isn’t used to and she loves new company. Lilly needs a family that can provide her time and space to get her energy out, but she also enjoys a good snuggle on the couch.

Story
Weezy was rehomed to me in April 2025 from a home where he was getting attacked by another dog frequently. He has been fine with my other dogs up until recently - he humps my other dogs pretty constantly and will attack them if they correct him. He is completely fine with my cat. He is 14 years old and will be 15 in December. He still has a lot of energy and would benefit from walks daily - he still loves to play! He does have a bit of arthritis in his back legs but it doesn't slow him down. He is a very sweet dog on his own. He does have to free roam the house, he does not do well in cages or shut in a room.
