Story
We are heartbroken to have to make this decision, but due to an unexpected family emergency, we are looking for a loving new home for our amazing dog. This has nothing to do with his behavior or personality — he truly is a wonderful dog and this decision has been incredibly difficult for our family. He is extremely loving, smart, loyal, and fully housebroken. He does very well with children, especially autistic children, and has always been gentle, patient, and comforting. He thrives on love and companionship and would make an incredible addition to the right family. We are looking for a safe, stable, and caring home where he will be loved as much as he is here. He deserves the absolute best, and we want to make sure he goes to someone who understands how special he is.

Story
Hercules is a five-year-old Pitbull Boxer mix. He has a big personality and high energy but is also extremely lovable. He loves to play and is always showing emotions, whether happy, anxious, or frustrated, but will cuddle and sleep in bed with you if you allow it. He also has some separation anxiety and is an anxious eater. He typically will only eat if you are home with him. His biggest issue is other animals. He used to live with a cat when he was a puppy, and also lived with a male dog. However, he has since been aggressive and reactive to other animals. He is well-behaved and has good obedience, but he is not good around other animals. We also do not recommend he live with young kids as he isn't necessarily aware of his large size. He has never shown aggression towards people, but he can be reckless when excited. He is a wonderful boy and forever loyal. He quickly grows on people and begs for their attention. With a newborn on the way, we are desperately looking for a good home.

Story
Meet Bruce! Bruce is around 4 years old and is a pit/boxer mix. This playful and energetic pup is completely house trained—never has an accident! He’s also a zoomies expert, and loves to spend his time sprinting outside. Bruce was surrendered with another dog, but we are unsure how he does with cats and he would prefer a home without young kids. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, reliable companion, Bruce is ready to make your home his own!

Story
Jeffrey is still available for adoption! Jeff is a 2-year-old Poodle mix. This friendly guy is house trained and gets along great with other dogs, kids, and even cats. He’s on special food that costs about $200 a month, but his loving companionship is priceless. If you’re looking for a dog who’s never met a stranger, Jeffrey’s your perfect match!

Story
Mango is a super smart, loving dog (who thinks he is a human kid). He loves people, but sometimes gets nervous/scared with certain men due to issues with neighbor and maintenance guys. Only gets along with some dogs. Super easy to train with praise or treats. Likely part Shepherd and gets protectice of his ppl and property. Needs distance between neighbors, consistent routine, peaceful home, exercise, and patient owner experienced with reactive dogs. Curious pup can squeeze through gap between fence pickets when bored to explore then bark to be let back into the yard. Issues drop substantially with regular mental and physical exercise for a few minutes at a time. Knows variety of commands and listens well except when he thinks he has not been fed or loved enough. Does well with crate time (helps calm). Will get into trash or food if displeased with you (and throw shade with his looks). Can provide crate, toys, remaining food, current on heartguard and flee protection, due for shots.
