Story
Our foster dog, who we lovingly call "Hank", was found at a construction site in Clinton, MS. We walked him around the surrounding neighborhoods but no one had seen him before. At our vet, we found out he didn't have a microchip either. After posting on local Lost&Found Facebook groups we reached out to shelters and rescues but none could take him. The main reason we can't keep Hank is because we both work full-time and do not have the time or resources to train and give him a healthy and active life. With us he's having to be kenneled for a good bit of the day. He loves the outdoors and he just wants to run around and have fun all day.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Buddy is a handsome and loyal 3-year-old American Bulldog. We’ve loved having him, but due to unforeseen changes in our housing and financial situation, we’ve made the difficult decision to find him a home that can give him the time and space he deserves. He’s affectionate, playful, and energetic. Buddy would thrive in a home with a large, secure yard or with an experienced owner who understands the American Bulldog breed. He is good with dogs, and with proper, slow introductions, he could potentially do well with cats. We are looking for a forever family that can provide him with consistent exercise and lots of snuggles. We just want him to have the best life possible.

Story
Bella is a 10 year old female golden retriever/yellow lab mix. We adopted her 5 years ago but have made the hard decision to rehome her due to our toddler. She is very calm and loves napping around the house in cozy spots. She is good with older kids that know not to jump on her or annoy her. She has been okay with some dogs but not all. She does better as the only dog. She loves being petted and yummy treats. She likes her own space but still wants to be by her human. She loves getting in the bed for cuddles and pets before bed. She is just the sweetest!

Story
I found a wounded dog in the parking lot covered in dog bites. I suspect he’s an abandoned victim of dog fighting. I named him Graceson because he has God’s grace. He is a very playful & happy young dog, but I cannot afford to keep him. Graceson is well tempered & kind. He likes to run, play & cuddle. I need to give him away to people that can afford to take care of him.
