Story
Harley is a deeply loving girl with a tender heart and so much devotion to give. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality shines through. She enjoys the simple things in life — tasty snacks, cozy cuddle sessions, and joyfully rolling around in the snow. Harley also walks well on leash and enjoys getting out for strolls with her people.Harley is looking for an understanding family who will continue helping her build confidence and advocate for her in new situations. She can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but with gentle encouragement and positive experiences, she continues to blossom more each day. If there are other dogs in the home, they’ll need to meet Harley at the shelter to ensure it’s a great match for everyone. We do not have a history with cats, but she would be open to meeting any feline friends during a Dog’s Day Out prior to adoption.Harley is ready to find a family who will see her potential, celebrate her progress, and give her the love and support she deserves. In return, she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, sweet cuddles, and a whole lot of heart.

Story
I am sad to be rehoming my shadow. He is super playful. Very loveable. Definitely wants to be a lap dog even though he is bigger than my 60 lb senior dog. I came in touch with shadow when a friend was adopting a kitten. The lady was also a put bred dog breeder. I purchased shadow for $1,000 when he was 8 weeks old. He is almost a year old next month on the 23rd. I have had a life change and am not able to give shadow the time he needs. I can handle training and so on. He is almost fully crate trained. He is potty trained. Yes still have some excitement accidents every so often. He does like to chew. I always make sure he has bones or very durable toys. His teeth are strong. He will tell you he likes his cage during the day when mom is gone because I can’t cause trouble and chew the wood walls or the couch. Mom gives me lots of attention. Mom also has a fenced in yard. Mom wants me to go to someone with space and time for me. And to love me like she loves me.

Story
Sonic is an almost 3-year-old labrador husky mix. He is a high-energy boy and at 65 pounds he is a good size with lots of love to give. He loves to be outside playing in the snow and loves toys and activities of all kinds. He requires a lot of mental stimulation and is extremely smart. He wants to be where his people are, he loves to sit next to you on the couch and snuggle up at your feet for bedtime. He loves to give kisses and is very affectionate. He would do best as the only dog because he likes to play hard and not all dogs are interested in that type of play/interaction. He would play all day long if he could. He should only be around older children because he tends to knock over little ones due to his size. He does have some anxiety issues from his time as a stray that has improved with medication. He would be a great fit for an active family with older children or an adult who works from home.

Story
Marley is a 8 year old Red one Coonhound. We got her from a coworker who was going to temporarily re-home her while they figured some stuff out. But he decided to buy two new puppies and told us to keep her... We live in a cramped house of now 8 people after my wife and I just had a baby. We need to re-home her in a very short timeframe due to residents in the house asking to remove her and also for the safety of our baby who is about to learn how to walk. I dont know what else to do. We need it done fast and I cant find anyone able to help ...
