Story
Gus is just the most wonderful, lovable people dog. He only wants to play in water and have his belly scratched. He loves our five young children, too! He has only ever been an outdoor dog, so no indoor manners. We need to rehome because he doesn't get along with our other male dog. He adores our female dog, they're besties. He also eats/kills chickens and other small pets, so he's gotta find a home where that won't be an issue. Which is not our home. He just really needs a place where he'll be the main pet with maybe a girlfriend to hang out with on the weekends!

Story
Ruger needs someone who will train him to work. He has a very strong hunting drive for birds. We love this dog, but can't give him what he needs. We had more property before moving, and now he just runs circles around our small fenced yard or spends too much time in a kennel because I have 5 kids and it's mostly just me taking care of him. We tried to rehome him before moving, but ran out of time. He has the goofiest personality. Should not be an indoor dog. Needs a large amount of exercise.

Story
Moana came into my life after being found alone, pregnant. We took her in and fostered her through APL which is a local shelter. After she had her puppies, they got transported and adopted out. Moana was left behind. After this the rescue was being investigated for illegally dumping dead dogs' bodies. So naturally I reached out to the other rescue I fostered for, LPC. LPC stepped up, got her microchipped, UTD on shots, provided food etc. Last year (2025) I thought I was moving, so as a responsible person I notified the rescue of this and after finding out I wasn't moving I also informed them of this. They then took Moana off their site and noted her as adopted when she was in fact not. Moana is estimated to be around 4 y/o. She is spayed and UTD on shots. She does NOT know a stranger. She has been known to be female dog selective but, in the past, has co-existed with 4 different female dogs. She is cat friendly, potty trained, and crate trained. She is ready to be your couch potato!

Story
Rocky is a wonderful companion whom we've had since a pup. He's had the freedom to roam our 200 acre farm for his entire life, but we have now relocated and having difficulty with him fitting into our new location and lifestyle. He's been a wonderful faithful companion and would make anyone a great friend. He gets along with others well and loves to play - fetch is his preferred activity. He's been loving daily walks, but ultimately longs to be outside.

Story
Ellie is a very loving companion who we've had since a pup. She is very typical of the breed in that she ALWAYS wants to be the center of attention and be near her master. We feel her best fit would be with a person who has experience with Shepherds, and potentially as their sole pet. We have relocated from our farm where she was used to having 200 acres to roam and protect and we are having difficulty dealing with her in our new surroundings. While she will tie well for short periods she does not like to be in a pen, but a fenced in yard may work.

Story
Meet Grunkle Stan — a 70-pound certified goofball with a heart just as big as his blocky head. 💙 This 5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix is the perfect mix of cuddle bug and backyard comedian. One minute he’s trying to climb directly into your lap like he weighs 7 pounds, and the next he’s bunny hopping through the grass with the biggest smile on his face. Grunkle Stan is medium energy, happiest hanging out with his people, soaking up attention, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. He does well with other dogs who are friendly and respectful, and he’d love a home where he can be someone’s loyal sidekick. If you’re looking for a dog with personality for days, endless affection, and the ability to make you laugh just by existing… Grunkle Stan may be your guy.
