Story

Luna is a high energy but very sweet natured dog. She is fully house trained. She does not bark much, unless she sees a bunny or squirrel. She is social and would get along well with other large dogs and older teens. She does jump on people when excited and is big. She has a hunting dog’s nose and will chase small animals. Not good with small animals or small children. She likes her crate for resting and sleeping. She can be kept in her crate during a work day, but requires time outside to get her energy out. She is very food motivated. Will grab food if left unattended or chew on small items like pencils and small toys if not given a bone to chew on. She was a stray we found, have had her for 3 years but our older grumpy dog snaps at her.

Story

We are unfortunately needing to rehome my husband’s dog due to her biting our infant son. This is the first time she’s ever been aggressive in the 11 years my husband has had her (he got her when she was a puppy) and my son provoked her. She has been around multiple friends older children and we have never had an issue. She is a very loving and loyal girl. She attaches to one to two people and would make a good companion. She can be shy and timid around strangers and larger groups of people. She’s ok with other dogs and cats. We are saddened by this decision, but want to find her a good forever home. She has always been up to date on vaccines. She recently developed a bladder leakage condition, but the medication our vet prescribed is working great and is a daily pill.

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

With the right person she will be someone’s dream companion. So far from what i’ve seen she is good with kids, but hasn’t been around other animals yet so that is unknown. Nebula is the sweetest, goofiest little soul wit the biggest heart once she feels safe. She is loyal to her core, the type of dog that wants to be wherever her person is, whether thats curled up on the couch or following you room to room like your tiny shadow. She is playful n curious, still has that puppy spark, but she also loves her quiet time n soft blankets. Nebula bonds deeply, she doesn’t just live with you, she chooses you.

Story

Betsy and Buster were my mom and dad's dogs. Dad passed in 2024 and mom in 2025, I have been trying to take care of them but I just don't have the time or the money to give them the attention and care they need. Mom and dad were country people who always took care of their pets on their own, I don't know that Betsy and Buster have ever been to a vet after they were adopted from a humane society in Arkansas. They are about 11 years old and have always been outside dogs. They are not friendly with other dogs, however, with time an patience they do finally accept other dogs. They are good with people and children. They need to stay together they are from the same litter so have always been together, loosing mom and dad was hard on them so they need loving, kind, and patient caregivers who can just love on them in their final years.
