Story

Chunk is a 5 yr old mix breed (border collie/?Pit) kissy, lovable pal. I was told border collie/pit mix. I acquired him from an older couple in a rehome site. Vet says he looks more border collie than pit. Chunk is great with people. Chunk is amazing with other dogs at daycare. However at home he does not get along with one of my two other dogs. For a new home Chunk needs lots of opportunity to run. Chunk needs a lot of affection and one on one time. Chunk may be better as the only dog in the home. Chunk needs an experienced foster or adopted owner with lots of patience and time. Moving soon and he needs a new home as well. Shy of men.

Story

My name is Symphony and I am a 7 year old Schnug. I was adopted by my Momma at 3 months old in Phoenix AZ as the runt of my litter. I love car rides and going on walks at the park. Ive been on a grain free diet my whole life and my favorite snacks are broccoli, cheese, and dream bone sticks. I love to curl up on the couch and get pets as I fall asleep. I will curl up beside you at bedtime. I do best when Im the only pet in the household although I have lived with cats and other dogs on a temporary basis.

Story

Oreo is a good dog who needs an experienced pet owner. Oreo requires lots of outside activity. He is part husky according to ARL so he often tries to escape on walkies but he listens well if you love on him. Oreo is 2 years old now born September 2023. He is a virgo boy who has his likes and dislikes. He doesn't like peanut butter but loves the taste of jerky, chicken and beef liver. His favorite thing is to lay around the house and snuggle with kiddos. I'd like to have him rehomed before Christmas this year so that he isn't waiting in a shelter for a family. He leaves home with a large crate, dog food, dog food bowls and holder, a leash, collar, harness and toys.

Story

Meet Nova — affectionately known as “Itty Bitty Pitty”! 💕 Don’t let her petite 30-pound frame fool you — Nova is full of love, playfulness, and personality! This adorable terrier mix is the perfect blend of fun and snuggles. She loves playing with her foster siblings (a Great Dane and a Pug — talk about range!) and especially enjoys soft toys for playtime. After a good round of zoomies, Nova is ready to crash for cuddles. She’s happiest when she’s close to her humans and will follow you around just to be part of the action. Nova walks beautifully on a leash, has had zero accidents, and is a pro at kenneling through the night. She’s an all-around sweetheart looking for a family who will let her be their little shadow and snuggle buddy. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving companion, Nova might just be your perfect match! 🐾💖All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story

Toby is a special boy looking for a forever person. He's 4.5 years old and 65 lbs, fully house/crate trained, loves walks and going on car rides. He was owned by an older couple who unfortunately had to go to assisted living so they surrendered him. He lived with an older husky in his previous home but doesn't love most other animals in his space. He does well meeting new people one on one and when he trusts you he will be the best protector and loves to give kisses. He would do best with someone who has a calmer lifestyle and wants a buddy to follow them around and watch out for them. He's had a couple different homes now so would love to have a true forever place of his own! If interested in meeting this dude, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.
