Story
We had peach since she was 8 weeks old. She made 1 April 1, 2025. She very clingy and loves to be rubbed. Very spoiled house dog. We are sad that we have to give her away but I refuse to neglect her so I want to find her a good home that would love on her like we did.

Story
Gumbo is so sweet and we love him so much, but we believe he needs a better living situation. We are currently living in a small apartment on our school campus. Our campus only allows dogs to be on leashes and has no dog park… so we aren’t really able to let him run around as much as he needs. I am a stay at home mom, and I would walk him on the leash more often, But he just is so rambunctious and does not do well on a leash when walking. I can’t hold him on a leash and push a stroller at the same time because he pulls. He is such a sweet and loving dog. I have a 7 month old baby boy who he loves so much. He’s so gentle with him. But when you play with Gumbo or get him excited, he is pretty rough and rambunctious. He likes to play “bite” with people. He never bites hard, more like just putting his mouth around your hand or arm. He just needs a loving home that will be able to run and play with him a lot!!

Story
*Need her gone ASAP* I got daisy mae from the spca back in february & now i have to rehome her because im moving to a place that doesn’t accept her breed. Shes a sweet loving dog that loves to cuddle. Shes is somewhat potty trained but she will use the bathroom inside if hasnt been took outside in a while. Shes kennel trained but cries for a few minutes when she first goes in there. She has some chewing issues, she tends to chew on stuff alot which was one of the reasons for me to rehome her because i dont have the time to properly train her. Looking for a nice home for her to go to where she can receive the proper training she needs.

Story
Meet Logan This 10-month-old shepherd mix is bright, playful and sweet with an independent streak. Medium-sized at about 30 lbs and nearly full grown, she’s the ideal medium size for owners who enjoy both active outings and quiet nights in. She’s curious, and learns quickly. While she’s not a snuggler, she loves being near her people during quiet moments, relaxing nearby, especially if there’s a cozy sofa involved. House trained, spayed, she sleeps well and can stay home alone for a couple of hours without fuss. She will fulfill someone who appreciates her mix of energy and independence. Full of potential, Logan is looking for a home that can offer her structure, affection, and a bit of space to shine.

Story
I rescued Motley from a local agency here in New Orleans. I am not entirely sure of her history but I know she was left at a kill shelter somewhere in Louisiana and was rescued from there. Motley is believed to be a shepherd mix of some sort, my theory is German and Australian and someone with experience with the breed is ideal. She is medium level energy, she loves to play and does very well with other dogs but also loves a good nap. Motley can sometimes be hesitant to strangers (especially on leash, she is very protective) but once she warms up to a person she is nothing but love. She has leash aggression and will need some specific attention in that regard. She is very smart and responds well to training and discipline. She is a big cuddler and loves to be with her pack. Motley would do well in a home either with or without another dog. She is a bit anxious which is typical for her breed but usually relaxes with exercise.
