Story
I am looking to rehome my super chill Chiweenie, Corky due to unforeseen circumstances. He was a rescue who was bullied by other dogs when his original owner passed away and the only thing really known about him is his name. He is diagnosed with Heartworms, has no teeth, and deals with incontinence. I can no longer financially support him with his special needs and I really need to separate him from my 1-yr old nephew who was forced to move in with me because he puts Corky on edge daily. I am hoping I can find him a more peaceful, suitable home for a snuggly, senior dog looking to live the remainder of his days in a loving home.

Story
Apollo is a 6 year old male Pit Bull, with microchip and up to date vaccines. He is 85lbs, and is content with either a relaxed or energetic lifestyles. Cuddling and playing fetch are his 2 favorite things, and loves to be near you at all times. His biggest challenges are separation anxiety, and still uses a puppy pad when we are asleep or at work. We would love to see him go to someone who has the time to be there for him, and care for his needs, as we have become unable to. He is currently eating 4 cups a day of BlueBuffalo dry food, and occasional medication for ear infections.

My name is Pugsley but I go by Peanut. I respond to Peanut. I'm a German Shepherd mix with a Lab. My owner had me since November 15th 2025. I'm 5 months. My birthday is July 18th. She thought she could keep me but she's in debt. She can't afford me. My shots are up to date. Peanut has two cages, a bed, two outfits, dog snacks and toys. Peanut is looking for a new family. Hopefully first month of the year! The adoption fee is $775

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Forest is a snuggle bug now he gets used to you. He has a nervous disposition and would benefit in a home without a bunch of house guests. He is great with other animals and is staying with another dog and a cat right now. Older kids he does great with as well. He is very chatty when he gets nervous and can take him a bit to stop talking lol. He would do much better in a house with a fenced in yard of any size so he can enjoy the outdoors in peace, apartment and condo type living has just not been for him. An experienced dog owner who has the patience to let him become apart of the family is what this sweet pup needs
