Story
My name is Susan Holt. I have owned Dorito since he was a puppy. He is 7 years old. I fell and broke my leg in February and I am currently in Rehab. As difficult as it is, can cannot keep Dorito. He was raised in a house with a big yard, but he is a fair weather dog. I was my mother's caregiver until she died and Dorito would walk behind her with her walker and ly down outside the bathroom door. He is an active dog and very loving and gentle. He is best being the only dog in the house and has not been around small children. He is a good watch dog. He even has a special bark for the Amazon trunk. It breaks my heart to has to give Dorito up, but I want what's best for him. Im sure that there must be a loving home in the area for him. Thank you.

Story
We’re currently fostering an amazing dog named Winston and are hoping to find him the perfect forever home. He truly is a special dog—we just haven’t found the right fit yet! A little about Winston: • American Staffordshire Terrier / Boxer mix • Approximately 5 years old • In excellent health and good looking boy! • Fully housebroken; does great with a doggie door and kennel • One of the best dogs on a leash that we’ve ever had • Very smart and eager to learn • A total “Velcro dog” who loves being near his people—but he does not have separation anxiety • Great with other dogs and kids • High energy when it’s playtime, but also a wonderful, cuddly companion Ideal home: Winston would do best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long stretches during the day—he thrives on companionship and being part of the family. If you or someone you know might be a great fit, please reach out—we’d love to help Winston find the home he deserves! 🐶💛

Story
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.
