Story
I got killa when he was a puppy from a lady in wisconsin, he has a brother from the same litter named spongebob that I also got. He is very questionable and can be reactive to people at times and may not. He is SO sweet once he warms up though but it definitely takes time. Im not really confident on how good he is with other dogs and also around children due to the fact that I myself aren’t around any either (besides spongebob). Knows basic tricks and loves ice and dog confetti cookies from walmart. He doesn’t like windshield wipers :(. I work long shifts and i recently gave him to a friend to see how he would do… He ended up running away not even 2 hours later and I had to break him out of Jail but he is back safe and sound. I want to know he is for sure going to a great home. I feel as if he would be great with a person with no kids or any other animals to prevent stress. He also loves to run and will play fetch.

Story
Hennessy was born November 24, 2018, he is 7 years old. Really sweet dog and playful, he has been around 3 kids from a baby to a toddler, and now to a 15 year old. Really protective over the family, and a good guard dog. He has never bitten anyone nor fight with other dogs. Looking for someone to keep loving him and give him a great home. Unfortunately due to marriage problem and not being able to take him with me(dad) and mom not able to take care of him anymore, have no other option but to rehome him.

Story
He is a sweet, patient boy and his birthday is Christmas Eve. He's good company and great protection. He minds his manners pretty well and will listen to you. We have had other dogs and cats before and he gets used to them just fine. We have little kids and our living area is small now so we no longer have the space, but we decided it would be best to give someone else a chance to love him and be loved by him, as he is in very good health and has never had any health issues. Since he listens well, he would exceed in guard dog training school; or he could just be a cuddle buddy for you all day. He is the best of both worlds, and would do whatever he could to see you happy.

Story
Drake is a 2 year old black and white half black lab half Australian Shepherd that needs a good home. He is a great dog, very affectionate, loves to play, and is good with cats and female dogs. I have had him for 2 years but unfortunately I can't keep him because he doesn't get along with one of my other two rescues (a male dog). It breaks my heart to have to get rid of him but I have to choose one. If you are interested, please contact me right away. I am willing to travel to meet you if you live a distance away, I just want him to have a good home. Thank you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gizmo and Nala are a bonded pair and have been together for eight years and will only be adopted together. Gizmo is a laugh a minute.He loves his small toys and is addicted to small balls. Carrying them with him, dropping them in one area, and retrieving more till he has a stock pile of his treasures at your feet. Gizzy is a proud little nugget with a constant tail wag. He adores attention and is always pushing his hiney into you, In and out of your legs, just like a kitten. When Nala is exhausted from human attention, Gizmo knows it’s his turn. He treats Nala like the princess she is. Meal time is simple. They must eat in separate areas because Nala is the ruler of the roost and will steal Gizmos meals, then excuse herself graciously to go and eat her own. The two of them spend their days together snuggling, exploring outside or playing with toys. Gizmo is neutered, UTD in all vaccinations including Bordatella. He is microchipped and takes a monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Gizmo and Nala must go to a home with a securely fenced area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 11, 2025, 12:37 pm
