Story
Pogo is my boyfriend's dog, he is 5 years old. Unfortunately, due to us expecting a baby, we are no longer keeping him as he is not good with children. He is playful when he wants to be but mostly very relaxed and lazy. He can be food aggressive by resource guarding his food, but feeding him outside or feeding him in the kitchen solved that issue for us. He begs for human food but will not steal directly from you, will steal off countertops or get into trash cans. Other than that, he is a big sweetheart once he warms up to you.

Story
We got him as a rescue and he had clearly been through a lot. When we first got him he didn't know how to play with toys and was super nervous, he has since calmed a lot and is very playful. He still isn't big on being cuddled or having his space invaded unless he's in the mood, though. He loves other dogs, but after being attacked at a dog park last year he is very can be nervous around certain dogs and could use someone that is willing to work with him through his insecurity. He does great on a leash and doesn't pull, he could still use some extra training in this area but he's mostly fantastic on walks. He is used to being in a crate when left at home. He'll also let you know if he needs anything with that typical husky howl. He doesn't mind being around kids, but like i mentioned he can be very touchy about his space so he needs some place to be able to get away when he wants to.

Story
Pepper will be 2 years old in December. She is a very smart, loving girl who enjoys being outside just as much as she loves curling up for cuddles. She is kennel trained, lets you know when she needs to go outside, is spayed, and is up to date on all of her vaccinations.She is great with kids, but I think she would do best in a home with older children who can match her energy and understand her boundaries. She would thrive with someone who has the time to continue giving her the love, attention, exercise, and structure she deserves. This decision has been one of the hardest I’ve ever had to make, and I will not be rehoming her to just anyone. My priority is finding a safe, loving, forever home where she’ll be treated like family.If you or someone you know feels they could give Pepper the life she deserves, please send me a message. I’d love to answer any questions and make sure she’s the right fit

Story
We got Gabby as a little puppy and just under a year later she had puppies. She is up to date on her vaccines and has been fixed. She loves everyone, but she will bark at strangers. She loves to cuddle and play fetch. It's difficult to get her a new home, however I can't keep 3 dogs where I'm living now..

Story
Cow was supposed to be adopted when he was a puppy however that person couldn't take him. So he has been with us since he was born. He loves to cuddle and give kisses 💕 My husband recently passed away and the trailer park won't allow more than 2 dogs and with my chronic pain syndrome I struggle with more than one dog. It breaks my heart to give them away, but I cant do it alone.

Story
Molly is an 8-year-old, 65-pound Rottweiler mix with a friendly, playful personality and a big heart. She loves being close to her people, chewing on Nylabones, and relaxing in a fenced backyard. She's house-trained, leash-trained, knows basic commands, and is fully vaccinated.Molly gets along well with children and other dogs. We haven't had the opportunity to see how she does with cats.She came to us as a temporary foster, but unfortunately her previous owner was unable to take her back, so we're looking for the loving forever home she deserves.Molly would thrive with an active family that will include her in daily life and give her plenty of affection and exercise. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily stay by your side, Molly could be the perfect addition to your family.
