Story
Meet Lacey! Lacey is a beautiful 6-year-old purebred Labradoodle with a heart as soft as her curls. After spending much of her life being used for breeding, Lacey found herself needing a new home when her owners no longer wanted her. She was lovingly taken in by a friend, but due to circumstances beyond their control, they are no longer able to keep her. Despite all the changes she's experienced, Lacey remains one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. She loves nothing more than being close to her people. Lacey will happily sit right beside you—preferably with your hand resting on her. If the petting stops, she'll gently remind you that your job isn't quite finished yet by setting her paw on you. Lacey has a calm, affectionate personality and enjoys simply being near those she loves. She's looking for a family who will cherish her for the wonderful companion she is and give her the forever home she deserves.

Story
Archie's owner recently passed away and he is struggling to figure out what happened to his human. A family friend took him in but they are not experienced terrier owners and do not have the time to spend with Archie that he needs. Archie's a super sweet guy and is current on vaccines and neutered but he does need a patient owner who will work with him on house training and be patient is he navigates a new home. Potential adopters will need a verifiable vet reference. Inquiries should send a text message to 620-223-2888

Toby ( Main name )/Tobias/Toberton, is a Chihuahua Rat Terrier mix that needs a lot of love He's clingy and loves to sleep in his owner's bed. He mostly needs someone who can stay home with him and someone who isn't too upset with barking. We've been working on it, but when he's inside and hears a sound from outside, he gets a little spooked.

Very energetic, would be best suited in an active home with kids to play with. Extremely friendly, sometimes gets to excited, especially with visitors. Has a tendency to jump onto people, will need additional training to help with this. She is crate trained and house broken with no accidents.

Very Intelligent, a little strong willed and has gorgeous eyes. Her only bad habit is she likes to chew on wood, any wood.. Needing to rehome her due to my granddaughter moving in with us and she has allergies.

Story
Pepper is a very sweet loving dog. She listens well & is great with my children. She has never shown aggression towards other animals. She is kennel trained, that is where she stays when i am at work. I can no longer keep her because she deserves someone who is home more & has the time to spend with her like she deserves. With a heavy heart i would for her to find a new home. Preferably with a yard where she can run & play so she does not have to go to a shelter!

Story
Bonnie is 11 years old, she is very sweet and gentle, she can run and play, she is trained to stay on her pad area in the house. She has some incontinence issues and would be best with someone who is home a lot. I am working 12 hour days out of town and it’s just too much for both of us. I think she also has some separation anxiety.
