GENTLE GIANT! Our Akita (SEVEN) is a great dog. He's been with us since birth but we are just way to busy for the poor fellow. He's a loving, kind, and watchful dog that would be great to any home.

Story
Meet Bella – 6-Year-Old Golden Retriever Looking for Her Forever Home This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but our priority is finding Bella the loving home she deserves. Bella is a sweet, affectionate 6-year-old Golden Retriever who loves adults, is fully potty-trained, and is up-to-date on all vaccinations. As our young son has become more mobile, Bella has become increasingly anxious around him. To keep both Bella and our son safe and comfortable, we've made the heartbreaking decision to rehome her. Bella would do best in a home with no young children, dogs, or cats. She also needs a securely fenced yard, as she loves being outside and will wander if she gets loose. We love Bella very much and want to find a calm, patient family where she can be happy, relaxed, and loved for the rest of her life.

Three year-old newfiedoodle. He’s sweet and great with kids. Honestly, he thinks he’s a lap dog. Moved into a much smaller house and don’t have enough room for him unfortunately. Looking for a loving home, preferably with room to run.

Story
sweet stray, well behaved, being vettedCourtesy Listing. This listing is not affiliated with Desoto Animal Rescue Society. Please contact the person in possession of the dog. hannah.frankel10@gmail.com She is a stray roaming our workplace in the heat about 2 weeks ago and we took her in to keep her safe but we are unable to keep her. She is 55lbs, 1-2 years old, fully vaccinated with one more Lepto booster due in a couple of weeks. She needs to be spayed that we can help cover/coordinate. She is incredibly sweet with people and loves to cuddle and has shown to be friendly with other dogs outside our home.September 28, 2026, 12:03 pm
