Story
Toga is about 4 years old, and she is the biggest baby. She listens so well. She just wants to love everyone she meets. She is also great with random dogs. She will not bark and will stop when told. She does not approach random dogs either. Very gentle with toddlers. House trained so well to the point that if she happens to go in the house, it was indeed my fault. She has never known a cage but is always trusted to mind the house wild I am gone. She deserves the world, and I can't give that to her. Times have been tough for me as well as my own errors adding on top of things. She currently has a skin infection that makes her scratch constantly. I regrettably have not had the money to take her to a vet. I simply just don't have what she needs out of an owner. I am scared to let her go as I need to know that whoever takes her, can give her the love she deserves and needs. That is the only payment I am asking for.

This is Zeus he was left with us his owner left him behind, I already have 2 dogs and just can't keep him. He is a wonderful sweet dog I know he's big but it's all heart! He just needs someone to love and snuggle on the couch with or go for a run as long as he's with you he'll be happy! He sits, lays down, and shakes hands. He loves all other dogs and loves the dog park. All he needs is a best friend.

Story
Lydia is still on the hunt for a perfect home. Very high energy, needs to be an only pet, not good with other dogs or cats (which is why she is needing a new home). Sweet girl, loves people, would need a fenced in yard as she will run and run. 2 years old and spayed. I worry about a home with small children as she has a high prey drive. Asking a small rehoming/adoption fee as I want to insure she goes to a good home. She's a good girl, just not suited for our home as we already had dogs and cats, and now and infant and I dont want her set up for failure. She was bottle fed by me from a week old so she is very loved just not the right fit, she will come with her crate blanket and toys. Message me for any more info!

Story
Luna is a great little puppers and in search of her furever home! She was an owner surrender due to no fault of her own and she would definitely make someone a fantastic family dog! She was in a home with a toddler and a baby and she reportedly did great with them! She is also so good with all the other dogs and would love nothing more than a family who has some doggo siblings for her to play with! She is also a bit scared of cats so a home with them would be totally fine since she just wants to stay far far away from them LOL! She's fantastic on a leash, does well in her kennel and her favorite trick is to shake your hand every chance she gets! She loves to play with toys and is such a good girl for still being a puppy. She doesn't even chew on things except for her toys or bones! She is super smart and undoubtedly would be a quick learner with literally anything! Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her DAPPV booster, deworming, spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine, heartworm test and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to set up an appointment to come meet her! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Cleo is a bright and happy girl hoping for her new family before the cold gets here! She is the most excited puppers whenever she sees everybody and she absolutely does not know a stranger! She was surrendered to us due to some personal issues with the owner so we do know a little about her history. She is still so young that someone could take her home and still teach her everything under the sun! She already knows how to sit, lay down (sometimes lol), walks decent on a leash given her age, and best of all, she has great recall! She has already overcame quite a bit in her short life. With the previous owner, she was hit by a car but luckily they were able to get her emergency medical help so she has zero limitations from it! Honestly nobody would know if they wouldn't have told us! She is mostly house trained if kept on a schedule and she is also kennel trained! She gets along with every single animal she comes into contact with, whether it's cats or dogs. As long as someone is willing to run and play with her she is good to go! She would make a phenomenal family dog with some kids to keep company. Her adoption fee is $275 and this will include her spay, 1 year Rabies vaccine and a microchip. Please call 618-833-4915 to come visit this happy girl! Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.
