Story
Daisy is a very timid but energetic girl! She takes some time to fully warm up but once she does, she is the world’s biggest cuddle bug. She is a genuine sweetheart and if I could keep her forever, I certainly would. I adopted her in 2022 and she has been such a blessing in my life. Due to my own circumstance, I am left unable to take care of her and want her to go to a home that loves her as much as I do.

Story
Winston was purchased from Petland last year and it was love at first site. He is 16 months old and loves attention from his family. He’s great with other dogs and our cat, but does display anxiety around strangers and takes time to warm up to people. He loves his walks and needs room to run. Unfortunately, changes in our schedules don’t allow us to provide the attention he deserves and our goal is to find that home that can. We do have children and he is fine around them, but as a large puppy he does get excited and jumpy. He would be best around older children. He doesn’t chew on anything but his toys and bones. He loves to be at our side or at our feet as much as possible. Winston is crate trained and this is where he sleeps at night. We are looking for a loving family that has experience with large breed dogs, a large fence yard or farm, would allow him to be an indoor pet, and has the time and patience to establish a loving relationship with him.

Story
Pablo was adopted from Houston, TX, back when I was in medical school. I have had him for 8 years and he has been an amazing companion. When he was little, he was attacked at the dog park, and since then he has been dog reactive meaning he barks and tries to show his dominance against other dogs before he has had a chance to meet them. After a slow introduction he warms up and does great (usually happier too!). He gets along with my parents 3 labs, he also lived with me and my roommates Husky back in Houston. He loves going on runs. He will be your best buddy, following you everywhere and protecting you at night with his bark (but not bite). He is trained on the E-collar system (Off Leash K9). Unfortunately, because of his reactivity, we worry about him being around a newborn. As we prepare for that part of our lives, it is with a very heavy heart that I am looking to rehome this sweet guy. ISO: a LOVING home, other large dogs/yard = bonus, and someone who will cherish Pablo.

Story
Needing to re-home my foster fail male Pomeranian. I’ve had him for a few months and was trying to work on his barking and behavior but he still has too much fearful aggression towards strangers. He behaves fine with people he knows and is superrrr affectionate with us, but my family likes to have guests over often so they’re making me re-home him. Adopted him from MEHS in the Fall but they would not take him back, and all the other shelters are full. 15lbs and no health issues. Fenced in yard preferred since he is highhh energy and loves to run around. Experienced adopter preferred. Serious inquiries only.
