Story
I am looking for a loving home for my two dogs, Guinness and Nash who are black 1/2 lab / 1/2 golden retrievers, due to an upcoming move that does not allow dogs in my new home. They will be three years old on 1/21/2026 and it is my hope to keep them together as that's all they have ever known and play and entertain each other and are best friends. Both Guinness and Nash have never shown any aggression to anyone, and are great with other dogs at the dog park, kids of any age, strangers or cats (they have lived with cats before - never any problems). They love everyone they come into contact with, and seek out enjoy human touch and interaction for petting, snuggling and certainly playing. Both dogs are crate trained and house trained, and do not have any special dietary restrictions. They enjoy running, playing, fetch, swimming, lounging and attention from each other, other dogs, and humans. They are great pets in every way.

Story
Hudson is a 5 month old (born 8/4/25) pure bread black lab, 60 pounds already. We got him from a breeder in September and he’s been the sweetest boy ever since. He’s fully house trained, knows sit, paw and is mostly to lay down. He loves the outdoors, his chew toys and his stuffys. He has been raised so far with a very handsy 4 year old and a 2 year old, he’s very gentle and tolerant with both kids. He also goes to doggy daycare once a week to socialize with other dogs and loves playing with other dogs! He has never lived with another fur friend though so that might require a trial period. We do believe he has a chicken allergy so please be aware of that limitation on treats and food. Our son is special needs and requires a lot of attention, unfortunately we think it’s best for him to be in a pet free home. Hudson is an amazing dog. * It says that it’s required to get him fixed 30 days after adoption, he is not old enough, I can’t get that taken down*

SOS! Solomon is a wonderful 9 yr old husky boy needing an urgent home with no cats or chickens. He was surrendered for euthanasia for killing chickens. Huskies are notorious for escape artists when they are bored. Since he was pulled to the rescue, he has never attempted to escape our fence. He is fully vetted and house trained. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. His adoption fee is only the cost of transport. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application.

Princess

German Shepherd Dog

Royal Oak, MI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.
