Story
Coco is a 2yo female from the Lawrence Humane Society. She is so sweet after initial introductions. She is a very strong pup with a strong personality. She has done wonderfully here with us (quite a bit of anxiety after leaving the humane society) but as our kids get older and into competitive sports, we need to rehome Coco. Finding care for her often is becoming too difficult.

Story
Johnny Ringo is a 2, almost 3 year old brown merle French Bulldog. He is funny, friendly and would be the perfect lap dog and best friend to the right owner. We've recently moved and we do not have a fence. We've been told that we will not be permitted to build a fence and Ringo is miserable. He's resorterd to some bad behaviors and we know that, as much as we love him he deserves a new home. He has not been neutered, walks perfectly on a leash and is house trained. His right eye has a birthmark - hence the white spot but it does not affect him in any way.

Story
Here is sweetie Minori! She is a 1.5 year old German shorthair pointer! She is 45 pounds. Minori is very loving of her humans and loves any chance for a kiss! As you can see she also loves her fellow dogs, but personalities of other dogs in the home must be discussed before adoption. She does not have to be the only dog in the home but would give you the love of 1,000 dogs!! She has been in a home with cats and did well, and every interaction she has had with kids has been great! Minori has a youthful personality but also loves to snuggle and lay on the couch with you! If you have any questions please contact us directly. Thank you!

Story
Happy is a German Shepherd/Labrador mix. He will be 6 years old on Valentine’s Day! I have been with him since he was four months old, and he has been the sweetest, most loyal dog I could have asked for, hence his name! Happy is a very playful, energetic dog, and at times a total couch potato. He loves walks and playing in the snow. He is my best friend. Unfortunately, my one year old daughter has a moderate allergy to dogs that is causing her great stress. I can provide all veterinary documents citing his previous vaccines and treatments. He is up to date on all vaccines and he’s very healthy for his age! I am looking for a kind family or individual to adopt my sweet boy.

Story
Ariel is such a wonderful dog. She is 5 years old, 65 pounds, is super smart (knows how to sit on command, etc), is very active, and requires a lot of exercise/walks. She doesn't like to play with toys very much, although sometimes she just carries a small toy around in her mouth but doesn't necessarily play with it. Otherwise she ignores all toys. However, she loves chews like rawhide and/or rawhide-free alternatives, bones, etc. Ariel has been attending daycare at Home Sweet Home East for 6 months and loves it there. I adopted her in July of last year, so I have had her about 6 months now. Please note: Ariel needs to be in a cat-free, dog-free, child-free home. She has been having behavioral issues toward my cats and is very stressed, and I am having trouble getting everyone to live in harmony at my house. Although it breaks my heart, I wonder if she would be so much happier and less stressed if she lived in a home without cats. She would need to be the only dog in a household.
