Story
Abbie was sent to me by my brother in 2018 of September. She was left in an abandoned apartment in the tub. I took care of her as long as I could, she is a sweetheart. Very affectionate and loving. She likes to run outside in the yard. I am not able to get out any more , and she deserves more than I can give her.

Male Akita-Husky Mix Looking for a Loving Forever Home We are unfortunately looking to rehome our sweet boy due to difficulties with our current schedule. This is a very difficult decision, and our first priority is finding him a loving, responsible home where he will be cared for and loved. He is an Akita-Husky mix with a wonderful personality. He has so much love to give and is very friendly, affectionate, and playful. ❤️ Great with kids 🐾 Good with other dogs 🐱 Good with cats 💉 Up to date on all vaccinations 📋 Shot records included ✂️ Already neutered 🏠 Comes with his large crate 🦮 Includes a quality walking harness and leash We are also including everything he needs to help make the transition to his new home as easy as possible. Our first priority is finding him the right family, not simply finding someone to take him. We want to make sure he goes to a loving home where he will be treated like part of the family and given the attention and care he deserves.

Story
Easy-going guy who enjoys long walks on the leash, sunbathing in the yard, and shamelessly demanding head scratches. I get along great with other dogs and kids—basically, I’m everyone’s favorite dinner guest. Looking For: A forever family who appreciates my mature charm, loves a good cuddle session, and will share snacks without asking too many questions. Bonus points if you have a nice patio. Riff Raff recently went on a Dogs Day Out, and here is what the volunteer had to say - “ Riff Raff is such an easy-going companion! On our Doggy Day Outs, he loves riding in the car and looking out the window, calm and happy the whole way. Once we get to the park, he is all about exploring! Taking his time to sniff around and enjoy every new scent. He’s curious but relaxed, making him the perfect buddy for peaceful walks or easygoing adventures!”

Story
Stella is about 50 pounds of brains, beauty, and a whole lot of love. With one blue eye and one brown, she's certainly easy to remember but it's her personality that will really steal your heart. Stella is incredibly smart and knows all sorts of tricks, including sit, down, high five, spin, touch, and even bark on command. She enjoys walks, running around the yard, puzzle toys, and learning new things, but life in foster has shown us something even more important: Stella is a HUGE cuddler, and what she really wants is her person. She loves being close to her people and is happiest when she can simply hang out beside you. She's also discovered that sleeping in bed with her foster is pretty fantastic and sleeps through the night like a total champ. Stella enjoys other dogs and loves a good romp, although she's perfectly happy soaking up attention from her people, too. She's active without needing to be on the go every minute of the day. Behind those unforgettable eyes is a sweet girl who has learned that having a person of her own might just be the best thing in the world.

Story
At just about seven months old, Ginger has already been through more than most dogs experience in a lifetime. She came from the same home as our boy Nash. While Nash lived outside, she was allowed inside, but that certainly didn’t mean life was easy. She grew up surrounded by chaos and abuse, never really getting the chance to learn what a safe and loving life should look like. When we took her in to be spayed, we discovered that she had Ehrlichiosis and was critically ill. She was so sick that we nearly lost her. But this little girl fought her way through it and she’s still here. Now, Ginger is trying to figure out what this whole life thing is supposed to be. And what she wants most is love. She craves attention and will happily soak up every bit you’re willing to give her. She’s still young enough to be learning that people can be trusted, that home can be peaceful, and that life doesn’t always have to be hard. Other dogs are especially important to her. She finds comfort and confidence in canine friends and truly looks to them to show her the way. A confident, friendly dog in her forever home would be a wonderful gift for this sweet girl. She is house trained, kennel trained, and enjoys going for walks. She’s got plenty of puppy left in her, but underneath it all is a young dog who desperately wants to belong. Ginger has already survived the hardest part. Now she deserves the chance to learn what it feels like to simply be a loved dog. And maybe the most beautiful thing about her? After everything she’s been through, she still believes people are worth loving.
