Story
Bailey is a very friendly dog, great a round kids and very playful. I rescued her from the shelter about 8 years ago as a puppy for my nephew but due to an incident with a different dog he became terrified of all dogs. Since then shes lived with my sister, my mom, and now myself but its been hard for all of us to manage. She requires time and maintenance which has been hard for us to keep up with. Im hoping to find a loving adopter that has the time and patience for her that she deserves.

Story
This girl followed me home back in January of 2024 in the Rain. Hence on why I named her Rain. When I took her to the vet at that time they said she was around 2 years old. Which makes her over 3 today. I am rehoming her because she needs a back yard and I dont have one. I am also moving in with my gf at the end of the year and she gets very timid around her 6 year old son. Probably not a good idea to have her around kids 10 and under. Not sure how she acts with cats. Rain is possessive with her toys around other dogs. Rain is very lovable and very playful. She requires a lot of attention. Rain is FREE to a good home. Preferably one with a backyard and she is house trained. She knows a few tricks and she will have her leash, bowls, kennel, toy's, and bed with her wherever she goes. Rain really is a good dog! Thank you!

Story
DeeDee followed my mom home as a skinny hungry puppy and Mom has taken very good care of her. DeeDee is a young, friendly, healthy dog with a huge personality who loves everybody and gets along with people, dogs, and cats. She currently lives with 2 other animals... an elderly dog and a sassy cat. My mom is 82 and is moving home and is looking to find DeeDee a family with a fenced yard where she can run. She is a beautiful animal with gorgeous human eyes who is friendly and affectionate. She is crate trained, healthy, up to date on her shots, and she is fixed. Just looking to put Mom at ease by finding a wonderful home where people will love her the way she deserves to be loved. Ideal home would be with other animals (to play with her), a big fenced yard, and a friendly family.
