Story
This is hard to do because she has become my dog too, but my son is heading out for school in a few weeks and, due to our current situation, I am helping him find Miss Bailey a forever home. She's spunky, smart, very loving, loves to cuddle and alert. She's fully house broke yet needs a little more work with some commands, mostly while outdoors. She definitely needs room to run. She's been around other dogs and does well, though it's been a little while, and does very well with our cat. Bailey is about 3 years old, spayed and chipped. She was a rescue from a local no-kill shelter as a pup. She is about due for her vet visit but up to date on shots. We are willing to travel to meet. We want her to have all the love and attention she needs and would love to keep in touch with how she's doing.

Story
Jelly Bean is a year old black lab mix and weighs about 60 lbs (the vet said she will be 70 when she is fully grown). She is completely potty trained and wonderfully crate trained, she also knows basic commands and is a whizz at fetch! She is good with cats and would get along well sharing a home with another dog, but she is a bit anxious and reactive so introductions to other dogs must be done slowly. She has limited experience with children, but she has been good with those she has met- though we recommend her going to a home with no children under five years old because of her size and energy. A fenced yard is a must and is non negotiable. Jelly bean has some reactivity issues surrounding other dogs. She has never been aggressive, but does bark her head off at them if she sees them on a walk. We would prefer her to go to a home in a quieter part of town to minimize her stress. Her ideal home is one with a big, fenced backyard and someone who will throw a ball for her for hours.

Story
🐾 Meet BALBOA 🐾 Small in size, big in spirit — and a true survivor. Balboa’s story could have ended far too soon. He was near the top of of the euthanasia list at the shelter — simply because he’d been there too long, and because he’s a pit bull puppy in an overcrowded system. But when we came to rescue another dog, we couldn’t leave this sweet face behind. Now safe in foster care, Balboa is proving just how much love and life he has to give. At just 6 months old and around 25 pounds, he’s still growing — but already has a huge heart. 🐶 What makes Balboa so awesome? 💫 Happy, playful, and full of joy 🐕 Great with other dogs 🐱 Respectful of cats 🧸 Loves toys, people, and attention 🩺 Vetting scheduled soon — he’ll be fully up to date! Despite what he’s been through, Balboa is resilient, affectionate, and eager to belong. He would love a home where he can run, play, and curl up next to someone who sees beyond the label and recognizes the treasure that he is. This little underdog already beat the odds — now he’s just waiting to win your heart. 🧡 📩 Apply to meet Balboa and let his next chapter begin with you!
