Story
Carly joined our family in 2018 after we adopted her from a foster home, and she still has just as much energy and enthusiasm as she did the day we brought her home. She's a big, goofy sweetheart who loves playing fetch, wiggling with excitement, and making everyone around her smile. Carly has been an incredible companion, and this is a decision we've made purely because we love her. She deserves a home where she can have more time, attention, play, and companionship than we're able to give her right now. Our greatest hope is to find a family who will cherish her as much as we do and let her continue being the happy, playful dog she's always been.

Story
About 06 months ago my son "adopted" him from a Farm in Michigan, back on time he was under different conditions, these days my son is back to College and part time job, and I have no time or skills to keep Niko with me, I tried to walk him every day, he obey basic commands, hoping new owner has more time and skills than me. We are trying to keep Niko clean and feed best we can. All his vaccines are up to date, next ones are scheduled by 02/2027. For sure I going to miss his energetic walking. We have his house, bed and tons of food. Thank you.

Geno is a good dog, I have had him since he was a month old, he’s 8 now. I have 7 children under the age of 11 so he’s really good with children. I’ve been going through a lot with my housing situation and we have nowhere to go is why I have to give him up

Story
Dixie is a sweet, energetic dog who is about 7 years old. We adopted her at 4 months old in Miami, FL, and she has been a big part of our lives ever since. She loves to play, run outside (especially in the snow!), and also enjoys lounging on lazy days. Dixie is very alert and makes a great “alarm dog,” always letting you know when someone is nearby. She is affectionate, fun-loving, and loyal once she bonds with you.Rehoming Dixie is a very difficult decision, but as our family has grown we’ve learned she is good with babies and older kids but not as comfortable around toddlers who don’t always respect her space and cues. We now have two toddlers and an infant, and we want what’s best for everyone involved. With our increasingly busy lives, we haven’t been able to give her the time and attention she deserves.

Story
Zoe is a curious, affectionate, and sweet dog. She is 4 years old, and loves to play and be close to you. She doesn’t bark much at all, and is great with anyone and everyone. She never bites, always good with kids. I got her from a friend a while back and it’s currently too much to take care of her how she deserves with my schedule being very busy! She needs a loving caring home that will give her attention and care. She is active part of the time and sleeps/ lazy the other half of the time. Easy dog to get along with!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet the “Hundred Acre Wood” puppies These four adorable pups—Roo (Fawn boy)was born on February 10th, 2026, and are already stealing hearts everywhere they go. Raised by their sweet momma Winnie, a loving blue pitty, these puppies are growing up in a caring foster home where they’re getting lots of love, attention, and early socialization. They’re starting to show off their own unique personalities, but all share the same playful, affectionate, and snuggly nature. Dad is unknown, but these little ones are sure to grow into loyal, loving companions. As they continue to grow, they’ll be looking for forever homes ready to give them the love, patience, and guidance every puppy deserves. If you’re ready for puppy kisses, wagging tails, and a lifetime of love, one of these sweet babies could be your perfect match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 17, 2026, 7:07 pm
