Story
This is Pickles ! I am trying to help my neighbors with rehoming her . I care about Pickles a lot and want her to find a home that fits her! Pickles is constantly over my house playing with my dogs ! Pickles is 1 year, she is spayed. She is good with kids. She probably won’t do well with cats. Pickles has been with her owners four about 6 months , they got her as a pup. Pickles is not a good fit for them or their lifestyle. Pickles had a lot of energy! Pickles is a young girl and a pit mix so she is a high energy dog . Pickles needs to play , exercise or some sort of stimulation to be her best self. Pickles does need some basic training as well.

She is very loving and loves to cuddle. Unfortunetly I have a cat and even with training she still goes after her. She is possessive of her humans so not a good idea to introduce other dogs.

Story
Dean is 5 years old and is a very sweet dog. He loves cuddling with people. He was my son's dog who moved and couldn't keep him. We have a dog of our own and the cost to maintain 2 dogs has just become too much. Dean has been around a variety of people and has done very well. He might be excited at first but settles down quickly. He walks well on a leash and would benefit from a secure fenced in yard where he can explore.

Ready to give this sweet girl the patient, active life she deserves? Apply to adopt Rosie today! Ready to Adopt?

Story
Looking for a big, goofy best friend to bring endless life and laughter into your days? Look no further, meet Bluey! ⚡ Energetic Playmate: This big boy has lots of energy! He absolutely loves to go on walks, zoom around in the yard, or engage in a spirited game of tug-of-war. 🛋️ Professional Couch Potato: Once he is all tired out, Bluey completely shifts gears. He deeply appreciates a nice afternoon cuddle on the couch to recharge his batteries. 🦴 Chewing Connoisseur: Give him a good bone, and he is a happy camper! He loves sitting down and putting his nice teethies to work. 🎭 Wild & Wonderful Personality: Bluey loves to show off his wild, goofy side! Because he has a hard time turning off his play switch, we recommend giving Bluey some time to himself when unsupervised. He benefits from having a safe space to relax and unwind on his own. Dog Siblings? If you have another pup at home, we would love for you to bring them in so Bluey can meet them and ensure it's a good fit! Ready to adopt? Come visit during open adoption hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12:30 to 3:00 pm. Dogs in foster care can be met by appointment.
