Story
Radley is 2 years old. We got him from an old farmer when he was about 2 months old. He is a very fun, playful, and cuddle dog. He needs either an active family or plenty of yard to run around and get his energy out. He also needs a family that will be able to give him lots of love and attention. He is good around our 3 kids which are 5 and under. He has also been very good around all animals and people he has met.Located in Godfrey, IL

Story
Miya is 4 years old. We got her when she was about 2 months old from a family member. She is a sweet girl who loves cuddles and giving kisses. She likes to chase our other dog around the yard and when playing fetch. She is good around kids, but likes her personal space. She would do well in an active home where she gets lots of love and time to play and cuddle!Located in Godfrey, IL

Story
My dog Tyson has been a great dog, ive had him since he was a baby, ive trained him, he's very good with people , he loves car rides. And Macdonalds cheeseburgers, , he's about 12 year old now. And he loves his cage , ( most dogs dont like cages ) Tyson loves his cage , and a comfy blanket , but i went though a divorce and it's time to move , and where I go he cannot come , he healthy, and is so nice I can't just have him put down. I prey someone will give him a good home , and if I was to adopt, I wouldn't want a puppy that's going to last the next 20 years. , he has a good 6 to 8 years left or maybe more idk! But he loves someone that will give him a little time per day, , i will miss him, but I have to move on unfortunately , but someone will get the nicest , kindest dog , if anyone has questions, ill answer any question , ty and I hope this gets to someone that understands he's a big dog , with a big heart !❤️

Meet Nala — a loving, playful cuddle bug looking for her forever home! Nala is a strong, energetic girl who loves spending time with her humans. She enjoys playing fetch, chewing on bones, and squeaky toys, and she’s always ready for fun and affection. Nala is very protective of her home and family, making her a loyal companion. She walks well on a harness and thrives with plenty of playtime and attention. She especially enjoys the company of men and male dogs. Because of her strong personality, Nala would do best in a home without cats or small animals. She needs an active family who can provide structure, love, and lots of engagement.

Story
Maia is a beautiful brindle, medium size, mixed (but unknown) breed dog. Her birth date is estimated as 12/29/24 and she was adopted in March of 2025. We have another older dog we wanted to have a buddy and our oldest child wanted a puppy to help train and raise. We fell in love with this girl and decided to go for it. She is house trained and listens very well to the adults of the house and our oldest but she is very high energy and has had some unintentional run ins with our smaller children. We’ve worked a lot on obedience but it’s hard when she feels taunted by little humans walking around with snacks at her eye level all the time. She would do much better and be much happier in a house with older or no children. She loves walks and running around the backyard. A fenced in yard is ideal for her. We are heartbroken to make this decision but confident there is a better fit for her out there and want to find her another home to love her as much as we have.
