About Riley: • Friendly with people she knows and strangers • Gets along well with other dogs • Good with cats • Potty trained • Up to date on vet care (seen at Bienville Animal Medical Center) Riley has not been around children, so a meet and greet would be recommended if there are kids in the home.

Story
Courtesy Post – Meet Lucky! 🐾 📍 Gulfport, MS | Through Tired Dog Rescue Lucky is a handsome young Catahoula mix with a sweet personality and lots of love to give! At just about 1 year old, this black and white boy is full of playful energy and is ready to find a family that can keep up with his adventurous spirit. Lucky was abandoned at a family’s home last summer, and they took him in to keep him safe. He has been a wonderful companion, but they know he deserves a home that can better meet his needs. 💙 About Lucky: • Neutered male • Approx. 25–50 lbs • Friendly and playful • Good with kids (currently lives with a 5- and 6-year-old) • Good with dogs • Respectful with cats (more playful than anything) • Knows “sit” • Loves to run, play ball, and explore Lucky is truly a sweetheart and has never shown aggression. He loves people and enjoys being part of the family. ⚡ His ideal home: Lucky is an active dog who loves to run and play, so he would do best with a secure fenced yard where he can safely burn off his energy. He also enjoys chew toys and bones to keep him busy. This boy just needs the right family that can give him space to run, play, and be the happy dog he was meant to be. ❤️ Lucky has been through abandonment but hasn’t lost his loving heart. Let’s help him find the forever home he deserves. 📍 Located in Gulfport, Mississippi 📩 Courtesy post through Tired Dog Rescue

Story
this is my dad‘s dog. My dad is moving and got a new job that requires him to travel every week. We have tried everything to find a new home. And we do not want them to a shelter. He needs a home where he can run and that has an attentive family. He’s very loyal and loving but this transition may be a little hard on him so he would need grace. He would be a great working dog. Please help us find him a home. we are very torn up about this situation.
