Story
Arlo is a sweet loving boy who loves to nap, play, and eat! He loves to be in the backyard. He does good on walks and just wants to be an outdoor dog who loves to explore! He is a barker but once he is over it he can be very gentle and goofy! He preferably needs an owner with no pets who has experience with dogs since he can be reactive (barks a lot at outsiders, other animals, or even objects outside, he is very vocal!) Behind his rough and loud exterior Arlo is genuinely the most loving dog once you build that relationship with him! Unfortunately my first dog and him do not get along, i just wish him to go to a loving home!

Story
Meet our beautiful 5-year-old female Siberian Husky, hazel! She is a sweet and loving girl who enjoys spending time with people and has a playful personality. She is looking for a new home where she can receive plenty of love, attention, and exercise. She is not currently spayed and is not up to date on vaccinations, so her new family should be prepared to continue her veterinary care. Rehoming her is a difficult decision, and we are hoping to find a responsible and caring home that will cherish her as part of the family.

Story
Luna was born December 11, 2021. We got her as soon as she was able to leave her mom. She has been a very good dog to us. She is very energetic, playful and needs a lot of exercise that we are not able to provide at this time. Luna is food aggressive towards little kids and other dogs. She gets along with my male dog (he is from the same parents, just a different litter). We have a decent sized yard but she has jumped the fence due to not having the exercise she needs. She does bark and can be aggressive towards other dogs that are not in her family. We have had my sister’s dog come over and they all played in the backyard and did just fine. She is very protective of her family. This has been such a hard decision to make because she is apart of my family but due to not being able to walk her daily or give her the exercise she needs. Looking for someone who will give her the loving home she deserves.

Story
We are heartbroken to have to post this, but it’s not fair to Harley not to try and give him a better home with an owner who can handle him. I have had 2 neck surgeries and a back fusion and Harley is just too much dog for me to handle anymore. He is a beautiful American Bulldog that we got from a breeder in Hammond, IN. I have a picture of his parents, if you would like to see them. Harley is one of the largest dogs the breeder has ever seen from his liters. He is gorgeous and a big love able bear that doesn’t realize his own weight or strength. This makes it very hard for me to control him without putting my own body at risk. He loves to run and play with other animals, our cat just never warmed up to him. We weren’t sure if we were going to breed him so he was never neutered, but has never had issues loving on humans. He does stay in a large wood/iron crate at night and when we are at work and never has accidents in house. He goes out in morning/afternoon/evening, 2x day feed

Sasha is a mostly white Shih Tzu/poodle. Sasha is a senior doll. She is 15 years old. She is looking for a good home. I cannot take care of her anymore. We had Sasha since she was a puppy, but my allergies are so bad that I cannot take care of her anymore. Can you please find her a good home?

Story
Clark is a sweet, loyal dog. He is a 7 year old shmorkie who we got at 2 weeks old. Clark gets along well with our 11 year old Shih Tzu, but dogs he is unfamiliar with, he will bark and be unfriendly. When we had our twins in 2021 Clark began being more anxious where he would hide under the bed/behind the couch and have uncharacteristic accidents in the house. We figured as the kids grew up Clark’s behavior would change, but he is still a very anxious and not his old self. We also moved from a 4 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard to a condominium with much less space. We love Clark and want him to have a happy life, so we’ve decided to rehome him. Clark would thrive in a situation with no kids as the only animal. He needs space, preferably a yard to run around and just lay in the sun.
