Story
This German Shepherd has discovered the meaning of life, and spoiler alert: it`s fetch. Fetch in the morning, fetch at noon, fetch until the sun sets and then maybe just a little more fetch under the porch light.Bloopsey brings Olympic-level energy and enthusiasm to everything she does—especially if that thing involves a tennis ball. After approximately 47 throws (who`s counting?), she`ll graciously accept your affection as payment for allowing you to witness her athletic prowess.While her social skills with other dogs could use some polish (she`s working on her small talk), her heart is in the right place. Think of her as charmingly awkward.Ideal home: Active family ready to embrace the fetch lifestyle, puzzle toys for brain games, someone who understands that `just one more throw` is a lifestyleBloopsey weighs 55lbs

Hi! My name is Athena sweet, affectionate girl who loves cuddling with my people just as much as I love playing and having fun. Im happiest when I have space to run around, explore, and burn off my energy. A home with a yard would be a dream come true for me. I enjoy playing, enrichment activities, and spending quality time with my humans. Im a loyal companion who thrives with structure, attention, and love. Once I trust you, Ill gladly curl up next to you and soak up all the affection 🥰 To help make my transition as smooth as possible, my current owner will provide all of my supplies, including: Lick mats Dog bowls A dog food storage bin Enrichment toys (and anything else I am currently using) Im looking for a forever home with someone who understands dogs, has the time to give me proper attention, and ideally has a yard where I can run and play.

Story
This six-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix has already lived more lives than a cat, but he`s ready to settle into his forever chapter. Cuttlefish may have had a rocky start, but don`t let that fool you—beneath that uncertain exterior is a playful pup just waiting for the right family to help him shine.He`s looking for patient humans who can teach him his puppy ABCs (housetraining, manners, you know the drill) and show him that the world isn`t so scary after all. Cuttlefish plays well with other dogs and would thrive with kids 12+ who understand that everyone needs their personal bubble at dinnertime.Think you`ve got what it takes to be Cuttlefish`s confidence coach? This clever cattle dog is ready to repay your patience with loyalty, love, and probably some hilarious puppy antics.Cuttlefish currently weighs 30lbs

Story
Nivea is very well behaved. She's older and probably developmentally delayed so her old owners called her puppy. She burrows all of the time when she isn't playing or trying to sit in someone's lap. I just want her to go to a good home. I'll drive her to you if you fit the bill. My number is 864-920-8332. She's potty trained and comes with all supplies including food, beds, CBD treats, etc. Everything you'll need. Ideally I'd like her to go to someone with another small dog, and/or a yard. She came from a trap house down in South Carolina, so she's a tough cookie, but I taught her how to play and how not to bark all of the time, so she's come a long way. The groomer always tells me how well behaved she is! She grew up with like 20+ cats so she's just fine with other animals. She lived with a 3legged pit for a while and they were also fine together. I love her very much, just very allergic to her and after 5 years I want to breathe and not make gross noises. Please reach out.
