Story
Hello, this is my dog Everest. She’s 4 years old, a bullypit. I’m looking for someone who will have the time to take care of her and give her the necessary things she needs to live a long happy life. Unfortunately I no longer have the funds to care for her. She was left to me by my ex and with me being a single mother to a 3 year old, I don’t have the time to care for her. Everest has a lot of energy, she loves the outdoors, she loves walks so I hope to find someone who will want to take her out and do a lot of things with her.

She was purchased for my mom. She has decided Chloe would be too much for her to handle now. My grandmother has to come live with my mom now. It would be an inconvenience now for her. Chloe is very happy dog. She would be a great addition to a loving home. She was a Christmas gift.

Story
Just look at those ears! Meet Piper, a handsome Shepherd born around 7/6/22. Piper is a soft and snuggly boy who is ready to find a forever family to love. He’s a loyal, sensitive soul who thrives on affection and calm companionship. Originally from Afghanistan, Piper is still adjusting to the new sights and sounds of life here. He’s eager to please and loves to learn—especially when treats are involved. He’s alert with a big bark, but he’s learning that his people will protect him, and he doesn’t need to be on high alert all the time. Piper can be mouthy when startled or excited, so he would do best in a home without young children—kids over 10 and up would be a better fit. He prefers the company of very submissive dogs or no dogs at all, as more dominant or high-energy dogs can overwhelm him. He’s enjoyed playing with his calm foster sister and tends to be submissive himself, but he also enjoys his solo time just relaxing or soaking up love from his humans. Piper would be thrilled to sleep stretched out on a bed or couch, but he’s also content in his crate. He does great being left loose when home alone and hasn’t had any issues. Piper loves walks, belly rubs, and being brushed or getting a nail trim. His one big dislike? Car rides—he lets you know with instant drooling. But if it means joining you on an adventure, he’s game! Are you ready to welcome this sweet, sensitive boy into your life? Because he’s ready for you. Apply today to meet Piper!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $525.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 2, 2026, 11:31 pm

Story
I am a very loving, happy boy. I was born on May 12, 2025. I am curious and learning all about the world around me. I love to run and play with the other dogs at my foster home. I am around 45 pounds currently. I sleep all night and am making good progress with house training. My foster family has me on a predictable schedule, and I do well with that. I can be left alone 4-5 hours at a time and then need a potty break. I am a good listener, and I come running when called. I am very food-motivated, so that makes training easy. I know how to sit when asked, and I know what it means when I hear the words: kennel up, go outside, go potty, and go inside. All these words mean I get a little treat, and I love that! I am still learning leash manners. I really love to be with my people and my foster dog friends. I love to snuggle with them as much as possible. Running in my fenced-in yard with the other dogs is so fun! My foster mom feels like it would be great to get a family that has one of those. I love to be active. When I am done, snuggling and sleeping by you is my favorite thing. I will connect deeply with you and will love all the attention you can give me. If you are looking for a best friend, I can be your guy! There are two cats in my foster home, and I am very interested in them. One of the cats hides when I am around because I get a little too interested in her. The other cat likes to play hide-and seek with me. I would probably do ok with a dog-savvy cat. I like to chew so I get bones and toys that help me stay busy. My foster mom thinks I am very smart. I would love to live with someone who can give me lots of attention and a place to run to get some energy out. Most of the time I am a pretty calm guy. I like to use my bark when I want something really bad, so I probably wouldn’t be a good fit in a house/apartment with shared walls even though I am making good progress with that. I would do best in a home with children over ten years old. My foster family loves me so much and they want me to find my forever family to bond with during my puppy development time. I can’t wait to meet you!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Meet Pepi! Pepi is a sweet, soulful 4-year-old Shepherd mix who’s ready to find her forever family. She came to rescue already pregnant and proved what an amazing mama she is by raising three beautiful pups—all of whom are now adopted. Now it’s finally Pepi’s turn to be someone’s whole world.   Pepi is the perfect balance of fun-loving adventurer and devoted cuddle bug. She loves outings, exploring new places, and getting her zoomies out (snow is a personal favorite!). But when the day winds down, she’s all about snuggling up close—whether that means curling up beside you or climbing right into your lap for movie night. Her ideal evening includes kisses, belly rubs, and soaking up every ounce of affection you’re willing to give.    She’s potty trained, crate trained, and incredibly smart. Pepi is food-motivated and eager to learn, which makes training a breeze. She especially adores kids—their laughter, cuddles, and attention make her heart absolutely melt.   Pepi enjoys dog friends for playdates, but she’d prefer to be the only pet in the home so she can have all the love (and belly rubs) to herself. She has met cats, but her instinct to chase means a cat-free home would be best.   While she isn’t much of a barker, Pepi does take her “yard security” role seriously and likes to keep an eye on her surroundings. A fenced yard would be a bonus for her zoomies, though it’s not required as long as she gets regular playtime and adventures.   Pepi is ready to be someone’s loyal, loving sidekick—the kind of dog who fills your home with joy, affection, and laughter. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a huge heart, Pepi may be your perfect match.   Think she could be the one? Let’s get you two together!       Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, dental, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $375.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 3, 2026, 5:19 pm
