Story

We got Penny from the pound in July of 2021. She was 2 months old and we have loved her ever since. She is a very good dog, she just has a lot of energy. Our baby and other dogs bother her sometimes and she can get overstimulated. She is 5years old and has had knee surgery. We have poured so much love into her and that’s all she knows. Penny is energetic, loves cuddles, is used to a routine and is house trained. She does stay outside well. We have done everything we can to keep her, but we don’t think we can provide the perfect fit for her anymore. This is not an easy decision, because she is such a good girl and our baby. We want someone who will give her a good and loving home. Thats all she wants.

Story

Meet Marmaduke! Bday: December 2025. Color: Silvery Brown, white feet with spots. Energy Level: Medium but tires quickly then likes to nap. SUCH A SMART BOY!! will neuter b4 adoptionFound on the side of the road during a storm at the beginning of June 2026, and haven't been able to find his fam. He was skittish at first but warmed up to my dogs quickly. He is (mostly) housetrained- he's scared of loud noises and won't go during thunderstorms so he has had a few accidents inside. He sleeps great in his kennel and will stay in there with a good bone for as long as you'll let him. He likes to talk and will bark from the kennel to let you know he has to potty- but will go back in happily/quietly afterwards. I have a small yard and we don't really go for walks and he is still tired out after maybe an hour of wrestling my dog. Then he likes to lay around and nap or chew on toys. He needs a young friend. Pls msg for more info! He really is the best boy and I would keep him if I had the funds.

I am looking for someone with kids and will have time for him. Roscoe loves to play and cuddle when it’s time for bed. He’s able to tell you when he’s hungry, has to poop, and ready for bed. I got him at 3 months and he was already potty trained has never pooped or peeped in the house. Definitely a friendly dog and loves new toys.

Biscuit

Mountain Cur Mutt

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Biscuit is approximately six and a half years old. She is friendly to nearly everyone (she does NOT like boys/men who wear dark-rimmed glasses for some reason), though she will bark to alert you to someone being around.Pretty much everyone who meets her comments on how sweet she is. When my grandmother lived with me, the first thing Biscuit would do every morning was run into Granny’s room to check on her!Biscuit is happiest with time both inside and outside, though I don’t believe she has the street smarts to not remain contained in a fence. She will chase cats and other animals (squirrels and rabbits) like she has lost her mind, so I’m afraid she would run into traffic. I’ve never had a problem with her going to the bathroom on hard floors, but she WILL pee on carpet. She seems to not understand that it isn’t the same as grass.She’s very sweet, and I hate to rehome her, but I have moved somewhere with basically no yard and no fence. She deserves a place to play and chase squirrels!

Story

Luffy was my old roommates dog but sadly he moved to Japan and wasn’t able to take luffy with him. I decided to take on the responsibility myself but I haven’t had the time to give him the proper love and attention I feel he deserves. His favorite activity is to play fetch. He has a one track mind and all he thinks about is his ball.

Story

Please shareLooking to rehome my very sweet, very energetic girl. I took her in when a Good Samaritan brought her to my work after witnessing her being hit by a car the day before thanksgiving 2025. She had a fractured vertebrae, but recovered perfectly without surgery. Since recovery, however, it has become clear that my home is not the best for her. I believe she needs more room and freedom to get out energy than I can provide in my small home with a small yard. She also wants so badly to play with my 2 tiny elderly dogs and I am so afraid she will hurt them unintentionally. I currently have her on medications to help her stay calm, but it is not fair to her in my opinion. I think she would do great in a home on a farm or out in the country where she could run safely.She is very timid at first, but after warming up, all she wants is to be loved. She does not possess a single mean bone in her body and she deserves the world.
