Story
I found Violet in a ditch at a high school last April. I have raised her with 5 of my other dogs, which are both large and small. She has had a very good life. We live on 2.5 acres and she and the other dogs have learned to use the doggie door, so they go in and out as they please. I am going through a divorce and will be moving to a smaller place and I want her to have a home with a spacious yard. She is very smart, loyal, and loving. Food motivated for training. She loves to be outside and also be involved in what you are doing. However, in the evenings, she needs cuddle time on the couch :). I believe she is about a year old. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her shots and rabies. She has a great temperament. She is good with all dogs, standoffish to people she doesn't know at first, but warms up quickly. She would be happy to be by herself with her favorite human or she can join a pack.

Story
Willow is a very energetic loving girl. With springs for feet, she loves to bounce. Loves kids, licks my daughter’s face when she’s cries and tries to calm her down. Knows her basic commands (sit, down, wait) working on not pulling when walking but does great with a no pull lead. She is a big sweetheart who loves people. She is up-to-date on all her vaccines, spayed, microchipped (will transfer to new owner), and had a dental cleaning (a few months ago), she is up-to-date on heartworm preventative and flea and tick (can send a few doses with adopter). She loves to play tug or with a ball, plays well with other dogs. Needs no cat household and unfortunately we cannot provide that.

Hutch is a 7 year old lab mix who loves walks and cuddles. He is super sweet but is anxious during storms and around other dogs. He loves kids and hugs from them. I fell and broke my hip while walking him and have had a full hip replacement. I can no longer handle him by myself.

Story
We have loved Willy for over 5 years but the living arrangements have changed and I have to relocate to an apartment. Willy is used to having his own fenced yard and freedom to play outside on his own. Willy takes medication for anxiety but during storms, he may need a little extra love and attention. Willy is well mannered, sweet and loving but does not like cats whatsoever. Willy came to us already house broken and has done great since we got him. We would love to keep Willy forever but I pray the next owner will be able to be his forever home, he deserves it!

Story
Meet Marco, he is a year 1 1/2 pitbull that belong to my late brother . Marco is a sweet and loving dog, he is well trained and is up to date with all of his vaccinations and is also chipped. Marco is great with kids and people and gets along with other dogs. And he loves to cuddle. We can’t keep Marco because we had just adopted another pitbull that was abused. So my dog is a little skittish with other dogs. Please help me find Marco a good home for him where he can be love.

Story
Cody turns one May 2nd this year. He was flown to us from out of state from a family who raises Shibas. He is not yet chipped.or neutered. He is a happy dog who likes people children and animals. He likes to play and go on walks and wants to be near people. He does sleep well alone and is house trained and crate trained. He enjoys being outside even in the cold. He doesnt bark much unless something startles him or he does a quiet bark if he needs something. He is trained to sit, shake, lay down, speak and he will sit and wait for a treat. He is almost done shedding his winter coat. He will scavenge and chew on wood or random things outside if left alone and bored but otherwise he is a very good and playful dog who just needs more attention than we can give with our schedules right now. He needs a dedicated dog lover and I know he would love a family with kids and/or adults who would play with him and walk him. We have a kennel, leashes, and some toys and a few supplies.
