Story
Hi my Daughter name is SUMMER, she is so cute and very playful. She loves hugs all throughout the day and loves chicken nuggets a lot. She is 3 years old and I got her when she was a couple weeks old from a lady. Summer need someone that love to play I would lover for her to have another dog or more people to play with because it just is so I want her to be more social. I unfortunately have to find her a new home due to me moving. So I want to make the best decision in the long run for her.

Story
Tino is a sweet and loving Poodle who has been a beloved part of our family for many years. We adopted him when he was about 2 years old, and he has always been loved and well cared for. Tino is a senior dog who weighs about 57 lbs. He is friendly, affectionate, and good with children. Unfortunately, our child developed a severe allergy to dogs, so we can no longer keep Tino in our home. He has been staying with a trusted friend while we look for the right family for him. We are looking for a loving, safe, and stable forever home where Tino can be loved and cared for for the rest of his life.

Story
Dior is an adult American Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog mix. I got her from the humane society in April, and while I don't know much about her history before then, she has been an incredibly sweet and sensitive companion. I am rehoming her because my schedule has become quite busy and I can no longer come home at lunch to give her the activity she needs.Dior is:• Incredibly sweet, sensitive, and loves absolutely everyone (including pets and kids)• Super smart and catches on to new information very quickly• Crate trained but loves to sleep on the bed• Best with floppy, squeaky toys• Spayed, housetrained, and microchippedDior needs a home where she can be energetic and crawl all over you for cuddles. She would thrive with a yard, a family, or other dogs to play with. She has a sensitive stomach, so I’ve found it’s best for her to avoid chicken and red meat.💰 Rehoming fee: $0Includes: Floppy squeaky toys and crate training history

Story
Meet Zeus! Zeus is a 1-year-old male Pit Bull Terrier with an energetic, playful, and friendly personality. He’s intelligent, loves learning new tricks, and is always ready for a game of tug! Zeus has done well with kids, but he would prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention. Because he has plenty of energy to burn, Zeus would thrive with an active family who can keep him busy with playtime, training, and adventures. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who’s ready to learn and make memories, come meet Zeus at CCHS today!

Story
Meet Buckley! Buckley is a 5-year-old male Great Dane/Hound mix available for adoption. He is an energetic, playful, and curious dog who loves to learn new tricks for treats! Buckley needs to be the only dog in the home so he can get all the attention he deserves. He would also do best in a home with children over the age of 10, as he can be a bit unsure around younger kids. Buckley is such a great dog that he's one of our Doggie Day Out candidates! He loves to hop in the car and enjoy the ride, so you'll never have trouble getting him to join you for an adventure. If Buckley sounds like the perfect fit for your family, come meet him at CCHS!
