Story
Hero is a big boy who loves to walk, eat treats and play. He is very smart and knows multiple commands like sit, place, lay down, shake, and speak. Hero has had some negative experiences with other dogs while on walks but gets along just fine with both cats and other dogs in the home. Because of his past experiences, Hero can be defensive with dogs he doesn't know. He is very trainable and with time this could be overcome. Reach out to schedule a meet up with Hero!

Story
I rescued river from A shelter only weighed 4 lb now weighs 71. He will be 2 years old Feb 8, 2026. He’s a really good dog beautiful! Unfortunately I had a reoccurrence of breast cancer spend a lot of time at the hospital. we found out my husband has prostate cancer now we are not able to give River the attention he deserves. He’s spoiled he’s used to being warm in the winter cool in the summer. I put picture of him laying under fan because he loves his fan in the summer. hard to describe what we have set up for him but it’s very nice even though he’s not in the house. I will take pictures send to whoever is interested so you can see his area could be in house likes both. I wish my circumstances were different I hate to see him go I want to make sure it’s someone that loves animals and will be good to him it’s not fair to him I don’t think this is a good life he needs more attention. With a heavy heart this was a hard decision. I hope he gets a great home.

Story
We adopted Bear 2.5 years ago. He was to be acompanion for our standard poodle. Bear has gotten out and run away 3 times in the time we've had him. However, with a strong fence he does fine. He gets along great with our poodle. In fact he is submissive to him. Outside he plays good. He doesn't care much for toys, but loves chew toys. Bear has decided that he prefers to have us chase him outside when it's time to come in. My husband and I are both seniors and can't run after him anymore. So, we are having to re-home him.
