Story

I was helping out a neighbor while she(Tinkerbelle) was pregnant. At the time, I was in an okay place to keep her because I had a job and my own apartment. She’ll be 6 in December; he never told me her exact birthday so I chose the 15th. I live with my family now, I haven’t been able to find a job, and I haven’t been on my medication in almost two years. I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder 4 years ago, and everything has been a struggle ever since. I’m just not in the right home, or state of mind to keep her even though I want to. I’m still dealing with triggers, not being able to afford to feed us both, and being in a house with so many people that she still isn’t used to. I just want her in a place that she can be truly cared for. She deserves patience, time, attention, car rides, trips to the park, and a decent meal everyday. I have no idea when I’ll be able to give that to her, so I want to find someone who can.

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello. June is our shelter adoption from August 2025. She has been a real joy during these past 2.5 months. Watching her open up and enjoy all the benefits of being a loved on fur baby has been so rewarding. June is the perfect protector and is truly a wonderful sweet dog who loves her humans and her toys. Unfortunately she has been showing sign of reactive aggression to our 17 year old miniature poodle. We believe June will be a better fit in a home where she is the only fur baby. She is heartworm positive and has an overnight appt scheduled in December that I am willing to continue to assist with. Also her supplies and comforts will come with her as well.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We got Mac for free from a breeder on Facebook that had too many dogs. Mac was the runt of the litter had multiple signs of abuse and malnourishment. He was all bones when we got him and wouldn’t even eat from his bowl without fear of reprimand. He’s started to come out of his shell and he’s a very sweet dog. He does have definite separation anxiety and stubborn (as our trainer says) and does not warm up well to men. He’s great and very patient with our daughter (1). He’s non-aggressive we’ve heard him bark once in the last 3 months we’ve had him. He’s mostly potty trained but has accidents from time to time. He just needs a home that can continue to offer him care and the resources he needs to train him and most importantly more time that he needs that we unfortunately can’t offer. We also have all of his comfort and care items that we can give to you as well to take care of him.

Etta James

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

New Orleans, LA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Etta several years ago, and since my work contracts have gotten longer, I want to get her into a home where she can get more time with her humans. She used to have a lot of energy-we would walk and play fetch all the time-but she’s ten now, and I think she would do well with someone who is home more than I am. We go on 2-4 walks per day, and we usually keep it at 30 mins tops. She likes to lounge and snuggle, and she’s practically perfect in every way. It breaks my heart to let her go, but I want to find the right home for her. I’d love for her human to work from home or be home throughout the day-someone who doesn’t mind a few walks but doesn’t need a dog with a lot of energy. She’s a chiller❤️
