Story
It is with a heavy heart I have to do this. Willa is an amazing dog! Very smart, very loyal. As a kid I’d always dreamed of having a dog that can catch a frisbee, and Willa is THAT dog. She shows great athletic ability but is now mostly motivated to do it with treats. She used to be more intrinsically motivated to do it and still is when there’s snow on the ground (she loves the snow). Willa can sit, stay, roll over, give paw and balance treats on her muzzle. If proper boundaries are set in the house, she will follow them. We don’t allow her upstairs in our house or on furniture and she has been good about both. She can be high energy but also likes to chill and snuggle. Willa is probably best with no or one other dog around but not more, at least on a regular basis. Willa is great with kids but unfortunately my son and wife are allergic. I’m hoping to find a good/loving home for Willa here.

Story
We’re looking to rehome Pilot, our cherished Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Born in 2017 and raised from a pup through Seneca Swissies, he’s been a loyal, loving companion through every chapter of our lives — our first “baby” and a steady, affectionate presence. Now 7, Pilot is house-trained, well-socialized, and enjoys relaxed walks, outdoor time, and simply being near his people. He’s calm, gentle, and thrives in a peaceful home. As life has gotten busier, we’re no longer able to give him the consistent attention and quiet environment he deserves. Pilot lives with managed kidney disease, maintained through a special diet and supplements. He’s doing well, and with proper care, has many good years ahead. Full medical records and recent bloodwork are available. We’re seeking a calm, loving home where Pilot can be the center of attention again — ideally with someone experienced with large breeds who understands the joy of a loyal dog by their side. Looking forward to connecting!

Story
Meet Mesha 🐾 Mesha is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix who will be turning 2 years old on Christmas Eve. She is sweet, silly, affectionate, and full of playful energy. She loves walks, playtime, and being near the people she trusts. Mesha is deeply loyal and protective of her home and family. She does well with the children who visit our home and with the dogs she currently lives with, though slow and thoughtful introductions are important. With new people, Mesha can be cautious at first and needs patience, consistency, and time to feel comfortable. She would do best in an experienced home familiar with working or high-energy breeds, one that understands trust takes time and is willing to guide her calmly and confidently. Once she feels safe, Mesha is incredibly loving and devoted. She deserves a home where she will be respected, supported, and truly cherished.

Story
I adopted dixie 2 years ago from the humane society. She has been my best friend ever since. She is very loving, loves to play (but gets tired easily and loves to nap), protective, and the best companion. She is 7 years old, up to date with all of her shots, and is healthy. I am looking for a home with no other pets and for someone who doesn’t work long hours. I work 50 hours a week and newly brought a new dog into my home and dixie has not been welcoming to him. That is why I am looking to rehome her. She is perfect for a single person or couple, but would not do well in a home with other pets.

Story
Received Remmy from mother, he is almost a year old now, I’m hoping to find him a good home that can handle his energy and has the patience to love and cherish him. He’s basically a child that is intelligent in some ways and silly in others. He loves snow and lots of energy, he doesn’t bite but loves to be disobedient sometimes.
