Story
This old dog CAN learn new tricks!Bright eyes, perky ears, & will actively try to understand anything you say to him.He answers to Remy or Buddy (as in "hey li'l buddy!"). Needs an owner who knows Jack Russells/mixes needs, behavior, activity. He loves older kids, 8+ is fine. Younger than that has more risk of hurting him accidentally; he may be reactiveAlways lived around other dogs & gets along well with them; puppies can be a bit much. Has also lived with cats, but never fully relaxed about it. Our cat is bigger than him so will just ignore him most of the time, but he will bark about the cat existing for a very long time before giving up. Hunting breed so don't trust with chickens, rabbits, or small exotics.Nervous at thunderstorms or fireworks but will run to you for comfort. Loves lap time. Good about his crate: Will sleep, eat, & rest of his own choice in the crate.Despite being older, he's in very good health: Still runs, jumps up & down from furniture without assist, eats well

Story
Marty thinks he's a male model: He's really, really ridiculously good looking! He doesn't crimp his ear-fur every morning--he just woke up like that! He goes about life without much of a thought in his head, and he's perfectly content that way.Marty is a lapdog. If you have a lap and there isn't a dog on it, check again, because yes there is--and you're not sure how long he's been there. And if there isn't a dog in the room with you, check again, because yes there is--and you have no idea how he got in!Marty has big wet chihuahua eyes in his tiny little dachshund skull, so he looks like a puppy PERMANENTLY. He doesn't look exactly how he looked as a puppy, but he could be SOMEBODY's puppy.Always lived around other dogs and gets along well with them. He's very excited about cats; he wouldn't hurt one, but the cat would have to be very tolerant of small yappy dogs. He's in very good health: Runs, jumps up and down from furniture without assist, eats lightly but consistently.

Story
Lucky is the most soft-hearted little soul, gentle and sweet just like a baby. He loves going on adventures and exploring the world around him, sniffing every corner with pure curiosity and excitement. More than anything, Lucky loves people — he lights up around humans and just wants to be close, soaking up all the love and attention he can get. He’s super needy in the most adorable way, always following along, wanting cuddles, and making sure he’s never too far from the ones he loves. His tender heart and affectionate nature make him truly special. 🐾💛 Lucky is not a guard dog, he can go with anyone! But need someone that’s have experience with GSD!! Lucky needs more training!

Story
Meet Stewie! This very cute weiner mix loves hanging out with his big dog friends! Stewie is a cuddly and loveable 6-year-old. He currently lives in Quincy with his foster dad and foster sibs. He has polite leash manners and enjoys pack walks. After settling into a new environment, help him enjoy your friends and family by giving him proper introductions and time to get to know people. Stewie is healthy, neutered, potty-trained, and has up-to-date shots. He would enjoy a compatible canine sibling or two in his new home as well as continued walks. He’s spent a short time with a cat, and though it worked out well he really doesn’t have enough experience to say he’d be a good match for them. With his foster he has no issues around other dogs and people. He needs a new home because he developed serious guarding over his original adopter and is reactive as a result. Stewie needs an adopter who is confident, comfortable, and experienced with dogs. to prevent any bad habits from returning.

Story
Mozzi is a 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who has been with me for about a year. I have to rehome him because he does not get along with my other dog.Mozzi is:• A sweet boy who loves belly rubs and cuddles• Great with kids and other people• Fond of stuffed animals, ropes, and playing fetch• Mostly home trained (though he sometimes has accidents)• Best suited for a home without other dogsMozzi is a very affectionate boy who gives lots of kisses and loves going for car rides. He enjoys sleeping in his own bed or right in bed with you. He does have separation anxiety and will cry or bark if left alone for a while, so he is looking for a loving home where he can feel safe and well taken care of.

Story
🚨 URGENT: YOSHI NEEDS A HOME BY NOVEMBER! ❤️🐾 Meet Yoshi, a handsome, almost 1-year-old, 50lb boy with so much potential! In late October, he’ll attend a fully funded, specialized board-and-train program to help build confidence. Now he needs an adopter or foster-to-adopt home by early to mid-November! Yoshi is smart, playful, athletic, and eager to learn. He loves fetch, walks, running, treats, backyard adventures, and showing off his agility skills. With trusted people, he can relax and enjoy life. Yoshi struggles with unfamiliar people and other dogs, so he needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs and can provide a calm, predictable environment. 🏡 Ideal home: Adults only, no children or other pets currently, a secure single-family home, and someone committed to continuing his positive training plan. His training opportunity is coming, but he needs a loving home waiting for him. Can’t adopt? Please share! His person may be one share away. 🐾❤️
