Story
Hi! My name is Wally. I am 4 years old and was adopted by my human dad when I was a puppy. I was with my human dad for about 3 1/2 years before he passed away. I miss him dearly, but I do not want to be alone. I want to find another happy family! I love to play, cuddle, and be loved on constantly. I have lots of energy (but in a good way)! I am house trained, but I could use some more training as far as not jumping when I get excited. I have been around kids but not REALLY little kids. (I might knock them down with my happy energy!) I am friendly towards other dogs too. I actually have a sister Sara, who I live with, and she also needs a home. I am a pretty healthy, happy guy! Please consider having me join your family!

Story
Hi! My name is Sara. I am 7 years old and was rescued by my human dad a few years ago. He recently passed away, so I need another loving home. I am very friendly and love to play. I have been around kids but not REALLY little kids. I am house trained, but I could use a bit more training when it comes to jumping because I get excited. I currently live with my brother, Wally, who also needs a loving home too. Please consider having me join your family!

Story
Meet Andy and Lola, a bonded pair of sweet, well-trained dogs in need of a loving home. Andy, aged between 8 and 10, and Lola, estimated to be 3 to 5 years old, are healthy and affectionate companions. They have seamlessly integrated into our household, getting along very well with both our other dogs and our young children, aged 5 and 2, who adore them. Despite their individual quirks, such as Andy's slight difficulty with stairs and Lola's fear of loud noises, they have proven to be adaptable and loving pets. They've had no history of causing any household issues, such as accidents or destructive behavior. Both dogs have been fed a nutritious diet of Costco dog food and have remained in good health during their time with us. We are committed to finding them a loving home where they can stay together, as they share a special bond that we would hate to see broken. We are only considering adopters willing to take both dogs together. Can you give them a home they need and deserve?

Story
Maggie is a very sweet girl, her and her sister, Brenna were both in a very abusive situation. My co worker is the one who picked them up, but she is allergic to dogs so she could not keep them. I was able to rescue them up from that situation, and get some more weight on them, however I cannot keep Maggie because she does not get along with my dogs. She only gets along with Brenna, the dog who I rescued with her. Maggie needs a new home, she is free to a good home, and comes with her crate and I’ll send some food with her as well to anyone who wants to provide her with a home.
