Story
Hi, I'm Mark: Young, single, male with severe anxiety issues, looking for someone wanting a big, soft-hearted companion to chill with. I will pretty much be your shadow once I find you and I will make you happy to call me your own. I will contribute the following in exchange for a place to call home: I will bring you joy every time you give me a treat. (I take medicine every day for anxiety) I will lick the plates and bowls clean so you don’t have to spend so much time doing dishes. I promise they will be spotless. I will let you know when a person comes into our yard, knocks on the door; or even if they just happen to walk by our house and look at us, I mean you never know what they might be thinking. In return I would like a secure place to sleep - with you is my favorite place. I also really feel good on the couch or the big chair. A bowl of water and a bowl for food. I will need a promise to take me for walks and a fenced yard I can run around in. I also loved the dog park I went to. It was great fun! Cats? I don’t really care Chickens? They look fun but not worth chasing Children? I absolutely love the two littles that I live with now. One is 7 and one is 5. They play with me and it is so fun. Other dogs? It will take me a while to feel like they like me, but then we will be good buddies. This is the most important part - it will take me longer than usual to be comfortable with you. I will be very shy until I find my person. This 'person' is the one who takes the time to know me and read my nervous signals. This person will know that I get scared very easily and will take extra steps to get around the scary things. I really want to find my forever person. Please give me a chance to be the best furry pal you have ever known! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out our application here: http://www.rchsks.org/our-animals/adopt-a-pet/adopting-a-dog.

Story
This beautiful soul has been through a few hard times. Ive had her since birth on April 8th she turns 4. Momma is full blooded red and blue heeler mix, daddy was black lab pit mix. First name Rye middle name Vino. For 2 weeks after 12-26-24 she was left at my bio dads for legal reasons outside of my control (will provide more details privately) and was abused during that time I was unaware till I got her back. She has fear reactivity as a result. She is better suited in the country with someone who can be patient and give her LOTS of work. She is a really great dog. I hate to have to get rid of her and dont want to but its in her best interest. She needs room to run and be free and somewhere away from all the loud scary noises of the big city. Since we moved here 7 months ago shes gotten worse bc of the city. Please just a good loving home who care and provide for her with love and patience plz. She is partially house trained. Phone # 8706769257 for more info call twice just in case.

Story
Blondie is an incredibly gentle, sensitive young pittie mix who is feeling very overwhelmed in the shelter. At around 8 months old, she’s still trying to understand this big, confusing world — she often crawls from room to room, unsure of what to expect, and looks to calm, patient people for comfort. But once Blondie trusts you? She melts into a puddle at your feet. Her true personality is hiding under all that worry, but we can already tell she’s a soft, sweet, deeply loving girl just waiting for someone kind enough to help her blossom. She needs a patient adopter with a gentle voice and a big heart — someone who will show her that the world isn’t scary after all.
