Story
Coco was given to us as a puppy who came from an abusive home. Coco is very sweet and good with adults, kids, and dogs even horses. Coco loves to play she is a chewer and loves to chew through her toys. She knows sit and easy, she goes to the door when she needs to go potty. Coco needs a yard and a fur friend. The only reason we are rehoming is because we both work long hours and with us living in an apartment she has to be in a kennel. This dog is the best sweetest dog ever. We don’t want money we just want her to go to a good home

Story
He’s a goofy, lovable 60-pound ham who charges into every day with confidence, charm, and just the right amount of chaos. He may be blind, but you’d never know it. Balin is looking for a home without small dogs or cats—he’s got a BIG personality and sometimes forgets just how big he is. He might be able to live with another dog, but it would need to be a calm, very patient buddy who can handle his enthusiastic greetings. Slow, structured introductions are a must.

Story
Bruno is an all-around good dog. He walks well on leash, doesn’t mind time in his kennel, loves to play, and loves to snuggle. The best part? He loves kids!! Bruno doesn’t get along well with other dogs, so a single dog household is a must. Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for?

Delilah is an approximately 5-year-old Labrador Retriever looking for her people. She’s sweet, goofy, and has definitely enjoyed life’s finer things…especially treats. A healthy weight-loss plan will help her feel her best. Like many of us, Delilah does experience some anxiety, mainly during storms and fireworks. With reassurance, routine, and a calm home environment, she's sure to settle in and feel safe. Delilah is ready for a home that understands her needs, supports her journey, and loves her big Labrador heart exactly as it is.
