Story
We rescued Bella back in mid to late November. She was on a 4 foot rope tied to a light pole. She had no shelter or shade. When we picked her up she was malnourished and starving for attention. She absolutely loves people but I dont think she has ever been around another dog until we got her. We are getting her used to our dogs slowly. Its a process. She needs to be adopted by someone who has the time for her. She is high energy so she needs a safe place to run and play. I will have her spayed before adoption is final. That will save her new family some money. I just want her to find the perfect forever home.

Luna belongs to an elderly couple. Unfortunately, her Dad passed 2 weeks ago and her mom is having to move in with relatives. Unfortunately, The relatives will not accept Luna. She is loving, obedient, loves to ride and is friendly. She is grieving but I think a loving home will take care of that. I am trying to help her elderly Mom.

Story
Appa is a very gentle dog, but he is a large man. He is great with kids when he’s not excited, he’s never bitten anyone, but due to his size, when he is excited his playful-ness can be rough on a small child. He loves being outside. He is great with both other dogs and cats and has a very good temper. He plays with a 20(ish) pound beagle, and lives with a cat without any chaos. His energy level is low inside, he loafs around and sleeps for most of the day. He is house trained. He listens, but at his timing (for the most part). He is a guardian by nature. He can be left alone in the house and doesn’t tear things up. Occasionally he will get something that the cat knocks off the counter while I’m gone, but that’s it. He is 2years old. I don’t care about an adoption fee, I just want him to go to a good home where he will be loved and cared for!

Story
Bear is 7 years old and has been with me since he was 1. I rescued him and was not told about his behavioral issues at the time but have come to learn it is abuse-related. Now, he truly is such a good and loving boy and can never get enough pets. He loves fetch and does great with dogs and cats, as he’s been raised with both. However, Bear does have a biting history, triggered by scolding and any type of physical contact in a disciplining manner, and picking him up to move him/tugging on him etc. Therefore his temperament requires a home with no children.. which is what lead to this decision. We are expecting a little one and while my oldest son understands the boundaries set, a toddler will not and I cannot take that risk. He would do best outdoors, with room to roam. I pray someone gives him a chance, he has so much good to give and is so incredibly smart, almost to a fault! He just needs the right chance.

Story
This is carebear, rescued from the bossier pounds in 2018. He is a very big part of my life and my children’s. He has slept with my son and daughter every night for the past 8 years. We are rehoming him for two reasons. The apartment I’m in has a very large staircase that he struggled climbing every day due to his age. Also they ruled he is an aggressive breed and can’t accept him. we tried the ESA, but his age won’t allow that. I’m looking for a loving home. He is the sweetest and most loving dog I’ve ever had. Doesn’t require much. Just two bathroom visits and a bed. The fee is not mandatory, I just want him going to a safe place. Please consider carebear for your home!
