Story
Wilford B. is a lovely, fluffy husky. He was my brother's best friend and I hate letting this dog go but I can't handle two dogs. My brother passed away in February but only had been separated from this dog for a week in the 10 years he had him. Wilford is in lovely health. He's more of a cat in dog clothing, though. He doesn't howl or make lots of noise. Just wants to watch the birds & squirrels outside or lounge on a couch. He's a good walking dog. He takes me around the block, not pulling too hard. He just wants to see what's around the corner & sniff. Anytime I eat, he wants a taste but will patiently wait for me to give him food. Just a taste is fine. He's lived with another dog for 8 years but they tolerate each other, don't cuddle. An easy going dog that just wants to chill & watch the outside. Or be outside.

Story
Kona was rescued when she was 3-4 and we’ve had her for 4 years. We have worked with a couple different trainers to help her not be dog reactive. We have had several issues lately between her and our other female pit bull, Piper, and need to rehome Kona before one of them seriously hurts the other one. Kona is very smart, well trained and knows all the usual commands. She is a great dog on her own but struggles around other dogs. This is heartbreaking for us because she’s so funny and playful and loving but we can’t risk her and Piper hurting each other anymore.

Story
Hello, my name is Kronos and I am 5 years old in March. I am 100% german shepherd dog purebred. I am the goodest boy, I am extremely well trained. I know how to sit, shake, lay down, wait, and heel (for walking on a harness). I love to run and play, however i have severe hip dysplasia that currently does not effect my walking abilities. I cannot run for very long due to this issue though. I have been with My current owner since i was 8 weeks old and she is about to have a baby and I have skin allergies that are very severe that she can no longer afford. I am extremely well with kids and will need to be exercised on a daily. I would love to have my own fenced in backyard and maybe another dog friend to play with. I am non-aggressive, but I am very protective. I will require someone who will be able to take me to the vet regularly for my severe skin allergies and require daily exercise and training for mental stimulation. I will require to be returned to my owner if this does not work.

Story
Cookie is around 10 years old and was adopted from KCK humane society. She is a very laid-back girl who has had a tough life. My father adopted her when she was 10 years old and she has been a great companion on those lazy days. However, Cookie likes to be the only dog and has been known to get into altercations with fellow dogs. She has no history of being aggressive towards humans. She loves sunbathing and spending her days lounging. Unfortunately, she needs to be rehomed however my father had an expected surgery and is unable to care for her. She deserves a great home with humans who will treat her like the princess she is.

Story
Hi, I’m Baxter “The Betrayer” Brownson and I want to be your cuddle buddy. I love people, I love cuddling and being your best friend forever and ever… at least until the next person walks into a room. Then that person is my best friend forever and ever… unless you go out of the room for something & come back in. Then it’s that person. I’ve lived with a big construction man and my dog uncle for the last 8 years but he had to go to someplace named heaven. Human Auntie Ann can’t take care of me anymore and I have to find a new home. I like to dig in the yard for dangerous tree roots and barking at dogs passing by but otherwise I’m quiet. I don’t howl like most husky’s, maybe it’s my Lab or pit-bull parts. Small humans confuse me, I’ve not been around them much. But I’ve been around loads of people otherwise. I just want a new home where I can be king of the castle & give lots of cuddles. Maybe a PTSD support dog? I hear they need lots of cuddles & kisses. I know the basic commands.
