I adopted drogo from the humane society, he is very shy and skittish at first but he really warms up to you once he gets comfy. Unfortunately I have to rehome him because of landlord issues. He does not have a lot of experience around other dogs but he gets along great with my cat.

Story
Wendy was dumped behind a Wendys restaurant late in the evening the night before a cold snap and snow was coming in. Terrified. I have had her for a couple of weeks and she has made great strides. Now very playful. Not sure about dogs as she initially was so traumatized she was growling at everyone. But now she is very playful and seems to want to play with my dogs. I do not let her play with my dogs as mine can get very pushy and they play very rough. Not sure about cats. She may take a bit to warm up, much better than she was, but warms up quickly now and wants to Velcro onto you. Just a sweetheart. I have had her vetted and vaccinated. She is a healthy girl, appropriately 6-7 yrs. Breed, a pit mix I’m sure. She just needs a furever home with someone who will continue to show her love. If good vet reference, rehome fee is waived.

Story
This is Boss. He is about 5-6 years old. His owner was an addict who relapsed and is currently serving time. He needs to be in a home where he is the only pet and would probably do better with older children versus toddler or younger. He is extremely smart and knows commands. He is very loving and protective as well. We know he could be a great dog for someone unfortunately it is not with us. We are already have two dogs and unfortunately one of them does not get along with Boss.

Story
Meet Jax! (Born Aug 2023) Jax is a playful, affectionate bundle of energy who loves people and other dogs. He’s a "velvet soul" who enjoys homemade meals (beef/chicken/veggies) and Jiffy Peanut Butter treats. He is neutered and UTD on all vaccines. Health & Care: Jax has idiopathic epilepsy. While he is currently happy and stable, his condition requires a strict, lifelong medication schedule to prevent cluster seizures. He takes meds every 12 hours and every 8 hours. Consistency is vital; any lapse can trigger an ER visit. Meds cost approx. $30/mo. Home Life: Jax is puppy-pad trained and loves the outdoors. Car rides make him a bit nervous, but he’s a brave boy! He needs a dedicated, routine-oriented owner who is home enough to manage his meds. Jax is a special boy who will reward your care with endless loyalty and cuddles. If you can provide the structure he needs to stay healthy, he will be your best friend for life.

Hello, We received Cheeto when he was 12 Weeks Old. He is 4 years old. We were supposed to only have him for a couple of weeks. However, We ended up keeping him due to someone else not being able to retrieve him. Unfortunately, I can No Longer take care of him as these last few months have been extremely difficult to continue to take care of him. He is Great with Kids, and Other Animals. He has been Neutered and Microchipped. I have paperwork. He may need to be updated on Shots. However, he has been vaccinated. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
