Story
Rocky is the sweetest dog I ever had. He does really well with other dogs, he also gets along well with cats. Rocky is a very energetic dog who loves to play but can very rough when playing such as jumping on people and having the zoomies. He loves to play and loves to run around, but he gets really tired fast. He also loves to eat strawberries and apples. He’s not a picky boy. Rocky is crate trained, and potty trained. He also knows some command’s such as sit, lay down, and if you say the word “stay” when it’s time to eat, he will stay put, until you say “go” he will go eat, he is a very smart and obedient dog. He is really friendly towards people he has never met before.

Story
I’m looking for a loving, patient home for my sweet Yorkie. This is not an easy decision, because she is incredibly special to me and has so much love to give. She is a very affectionate little girl who loves being close to her person. She enjoys cuddling, getting attention, and being part of the family. She has a loving, gentle side and forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. I also want to be completely honest about her needs. She struggles with anxiety, especially when she is in unfamiliar situations or around changes in her environment. She may need extra reassurance, patience, and time to feel comfortable. She would do best with someone who understands that she may take a little while to trust and settle in. I’m hoping to find someone who will see her anxiety not as a flaw, but as something that requires understanding and compassion. She deserves a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and secure and continue to be the sweet girl she is.

Story
Dallas is a sweet, playful black Havapoo looking for the right forever home. He was born October 12, 2025, so he is just about a year old. He is a small dog with a big personality and loves being around his people.Dallas is affectionate, playful, curious, and enjoys attention. He does well with children and would be happiest in a home where someone has the time to continue working with him and give him plenty of interaction and structure.He is still young and is continuing to work on potty training, so his new family should be prepared to stay consistent with his routine. He can also be anxious when confined, so he would do best with someone who has patience and is willing to continue helping him become more comfortable being alone.Dallas will come with his belongings/supplies, including his bed, toys, and other items I have for him.This is a difficult decision, so I am looking for a serious, loving and responsible home.

Story
Name: LOKI Age: 3 Breed: Rottie Size: Large Hello there, I need to rehome my boy LOKI. I work a lot out of town and I rarely have time spent with him. I need him to go to a good home with lots of love and attention. He does have a little behavioral issues hasn’t really socialize with other dogs. Due to the fact I don’t spend a lot of time with him. He isn’t neutered so he does mark but rarely. He is playful can be a little heavy hahaha. I’ve been asking friends and family but doesn’t want him due to his breed :/. So I gave this a shot hoping for Loki for a family he deserves.

Story
If you’re looking for a dog who will truly be your shadow, Raven is your girl. At 8 years young, Raven seems to have found the Fountain of Youth—she has the energy and playfulness of a dog half her age! She acts like 10lb lap dog and isn’t aware of how heavy she is, but her cuddles are the best part of any day.She successfully lived with dogs before, she’s looking for a specific sibling that is more chill and older who can match her vibes. She’s also cat friendly! Though she gets along with everyone she still loves to be the center of the attention!Raven has a sensitive soul (and a sensitive tummy!). She deals with some skin allergies, but with the right diet and a little TLC, she stays comfortable and happy. On walks, she gets very excited to see the world, so she’s looking for a leader who can help guide her enthusiasm.She’s very vocal, loves to sing duets and enjoys conversations! She’s a sweet girl with a big heart! And is looking for a home to give it to!
