Story
My son had 2 dogs (brothers). He has 3 kids. They live in Florida. One dog had to go. He asked me to take him because a friend was coming by to get him. That didn't happen. Goose is wonderful. Smart, funny and very loving. But,he is a year and a half and deserves to be walked and played with. I cannot do this. Health is an issue. And wanting to move is another. I tried asking friends and family and put him on Facebook but no luck , most already have pets. I want him to have a good life.

Story
Koda is the biggest sweetheart. I got her when she was a puppy and she will be 2 in February. She plays at the dog park with other dogs well but can be a little selfish about toys when it comes to living with another dog, but with time and patience she will do fine! If you already have a dog I'd like us to do a public meet and greet to see how she does with them. She is a fast runner and loves to play catch. She will do anything for a treat (she can sit, shake, lay down, show her belly, and I am sure she could be trained to do more). Getting rid of her will be very hard so I would like an adopter who will keep in touch and will take great care of her. I would prefer if she went to someone with a fenced in yard too. She gets very bored without a yard which is one of the reasons I have to rehome her because when i moved I no longer have a yard and I can tell she is suffering with my busy schedule and not having the freedom to run. She is a big chewer so you will need lots of hard toys

Story
Jaxx is a friendly and affectionate dog who loves attention and being petted. He has a high energy level and a strong protective instinct. With some prior training already in place, Jaxx would do best in a home that offers plenty of space and an owner who can support his active and engaged nature.

Story
Taffy is a wonderful family dog. I first acquired her from a friend, and the humane society helped me finalize her adoption. She is the sweetest, funniest, and most loving dog you could ask for. She loves walks, cuddling, car rides, and spending time with her people just your typical loving family dog. Taffy does great with other dogs, is good with cats, and most importantly she is amazing with children. She’s very loving and protective over kids and truly has a gentle heart. I just want the best possible outcome for her to go to a family who will love her and enjoy her just as much as we do.

Story
Orion is a 2 year old (12/24/23) mix that's up to date on shots(10/30/25), Neutered, and Microchipped. He's potty trained and knows some basic commands like Sit, wait and here.He's great with other dogs but can be mouthy when playing with big dogs(In an excited way). He's good with cats and small animals.He loves people however he often doesn't realize his size and has knocked my young kids (1&5) over when turning or wagging his tail. He's so gentle with them otherwise though! He has a sweet, goofy, happy go lucky personality.His biggest problems are table surfing when unsupervised, being mouthy when shown affections (licking), and jumping when excited or meeting new people initially. It's truly no fault of his own but really bad timing on our part. Between grieving my senior dog's sudden passing and having our last baby, we just want Orion to go to a home that has the time to train and appreciate the sweetheart he is.
