Hey there — I'm Ivan! I'm a 3-year-old fella of mixed heritage, with a heart as big as my 89-pound frame! 🐕 I'm already neutered and when I get to go home with you, I will have my rabies vaccination and a microchip that says I'm your forever pal. I'll be ready to hit the ground running with a fun loving companion(s). I'm affectionate and loyal to my core, and my smarts mean I'll pick up on your cues fast, I already know some basic stuff. Pretty cool, huh? Whether you want to go for a hike through the woods or spend a cozy evening at home I'm your guy! I have a friendly spirit and a whole lot of heart. So get a hold of my friend at my temporary digs and she'll tell you about how to meet me. I can't wait to be your new bestie. Let's start our next great adventure together. ❤️

Rocky is very sweet and loving and somewhat comical. He just wants to be where you are. He loves toys and squeaky balls are the Best!

His adoption fee includes a rabies vaccination, a microchip and a neuter certificate to be used locally that covers the cost.

Story
Someone dumped this puppy about a month ago. I’ve posted her on other sites but no one has claimed her. She’s so sweet and smart, she knows sit, down, working on stay, walks okay on a leash. She’s mostly potty trained. She’s crate trained. She’s good with my adult dog and okay with cats (typical puppy she wants to play but not trying to hurt them). I don’t know her breed other than I think pretty big. Unknown DOB/age. I took her to the vet on 9/17 and got her puppy shots but the vet didn't think she was 12 weeks old yet so they wouldn’t give her the rabies vaccine. I think she’s gonna be big, she was 17 lbs at the vet and gained 3 lbs in 5 days. She’s tall, big paws, but super smart and attentive to me. Please someone give her a loving home. I think she’d make a good service dog. Oh I’ve been calling her Dolly for Dolly Parton.

Hey there — I'm Piston, a striking 1-year-old white Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Husky mix, and I'm ready for my next adventure! 🐕 I'm a solid 61-pounder who's already housetrained and great with both kids and other dogs, so I'll fit seamlessly into an active family. But heads-up: I'm deaf, and that's never slowed me down — I just need an owner who's patient and ready to learn some fun hand signals with me. 🤝 My adoption fee is just $50, and I'm here waiting to shower you with affection and loyalty. I can't wait to be your new best friend! ❤️ When my person finds me, I will come home with my rabies vaccination, puppy booster shot, a microchip that says I'm all yours and a certificate, to be used locally, that covers the cost of my(yikes!) neuter. I promise, if you take me home with you, I will be your Best Boy! Because I am All In and I will love you forever.
